Wastefess Meals

My table sees no wanton waste, l
eat my share of kppered corn, and
do as Hoover tells; eat my eggs with
eager haste and then consume the
shells Three times a day I drop my
harp and hush itss golden tones, and
then eat the bones. But casting
levity aside, since it's in rotten taste,
take a patriotic pride in cutting out
the waste We used to have a gar
bage can----fernist the barn 1t stood
and there the hired girl often ran,
to dump all kinds of food. Big
chunks of steak we failed TO eat,
she'd throw therein, kersplash; but
now we. take such hunks of meat,
and make uplifting hash. For things
in bulk, IN days of old, used to blow
my pay, and when they grew a crop
of mold, we threw the lot away. But
now I'm careful of the time. I buy
lust what Wen eat, say two molasses
at time, one egg, one grain of
wheat, l always save the coffee
grounds and boil them DER and Ger:
not wasted provender abounds, back
of my kitchen door. The village dogs
that once waxed fat on whatI threw
away, now through their skins show
every slat, and they must live on the
hay. The grocer's bills have shorter
grown, the butcher feels an ache
when he wraps UP a cheap soup bone,
where once l bought a steak. 1t is
not faddist's path tread, no scheme
of ftful gusts; gladly eat my plain
brown bread-the children eat the
crusts.-WaIt Mason.

The Time to Talk Tariff is Now

The Democratic press has been tel
ling US that this is no time to talk
Tariff. What, then, have they to say
of the following paragraph in Presi-
dent Wilson's address to Congress on
Americas war aims:
''The removal, so far as possible, of
all economic barriers and the estab-
lishment of an equality of trade con-
ditions among all the nations consent
ing to the peace and associating
themselves for its maintenance"
If President Wilson deems this an
Appropriate time to assail the Protec-
tive Tariff, why is it not an appro-
pirate time for the constructive bust
ness men of America to defend that
economic policy upon which Amer
lean prosperity has always depend
ed?
IF the laboring men of America
do not want to be placed upon an
equality with the laboring men in
China and Japan, or upon an equality
with the laboring men of Europe,
when will there be a better time for
them to say so than now, Immediately
after the President has announced to
the world MS plans for our economic
future? If they remain silent now,
vii it not be an inferential endorse
ment of the Free-Trade propaganda?
If this was not already a proper
time to talk Tariff. President Wilson
has made it so. Men who believe in
Amernca first should speak now or
| forever hold their peace?-The Pro-

NeIthe~ aIIanceS nor treaties provide

ethical friendships between states in
our day. : There are only friend
ships of convenience And friend
ships of convenience last just as long
as the convenience itself. = Pro-
fessor Gutenberg of Leipzig sums sit
I'D. "All ethical considerations are
completely alien to the state and the
state must therefore resolutely keep
them at arms length"
Can we wonder that the German
Foreign Secretary spoke of the brok-
en- treaty with Belgium as "scrap OF
paer?" or that the school children
of Germany celebrated the sinking
of the Lusitania? or that German
agents America, smoothly friendly in
appearance, secretly plotted before
we were in the war, to destroy our
industries, our railways, even our
lives?
Is there no such thing any more
as a common humanity-no decent
respect to the opinion OF mankind" as
Thomas Jefferson stated it in Declar-
alton of independence? Is our ideal
of righteousness, yes, even of unseH-
fishness, impossible in international
politics? This war, if Germany is

This American democracy of ours

centuries civilization has been slow

dice and selfshness toward sympa-
thy, understanding and a desire to

of her theory, in application That
government has broken a solemn
treaty with Belgium, ordered the
