Red Cross. hccou,o Tive Red Cross is vote

through the force of our arms, triumph.
Just 20 the degree that we can evidence
this Red Cross spirit Of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dangerous
hour of victory TO thc ideals that have
forced MS into the trenches in the defense
of human right, and human liberty.
The one sane and saving Thought in
this dclirium of death that now possesses
the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms of battle hell
rage, amid the fires of ruthless deStruc

highest conceivable ideals of humanity.
The ideals for which our armies have taken
the field are. by these umarmcd hosts, pro.

It is likely that we will wear Res

The sketch shows one version of

1t is of soft Chartreuse cloth trimmed
with black. The very deep collar is
wrfnkled about the neck, with its one
long end thrown over the shoulder and
weighted by a black tassel. The back
is left to hang in folds. If one wishes
it to appear like a coat, but it may be
buttoned up to the cuffs when it is to
appear like cape. a.
The garment is a combination of
the coat and the cape. 1t is made to
please women who do not care for the
vofuminous folds of a cape hanging
direct from the shoulders and who are
not able to manage this kind of drap-
cry with any measure of grace.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE
Use Up the Fat


By this time almost everyone knows
that Uncle Sam wants us to eat pota-
toes, and the reason, to be sure, is so
that we won't eat SO much bread. 1t
was not strange that someone-in fact,
a good many persons-protested. They
would really very much like to eat po-
tatoes with the best of patriots but,
alas, their figures! Naturally enough,
quoth they, measure of that sort
could be carried thru in Germany. No
wonder that Germany had been able
to struggle thru because of her devo-
ton to potatoes, but could American
women expect to assume the German
woman's indifference to her figure?
No, to eat potatoes would ruin the
figure. 1t would make one fat. Had
not. countless books written to tell
you how TO reduce your weight. held
up the warning finger to potatoes as
the greatest menace to the sylphlike
contour? &-ss.t
tons of these folk. IF you are doing
your Bit" says he, do not fear for
your figure. Potatoes won't make you
fat. They supply energy for your war
work. Use up the energy as fast as
you can, and do not worry"
To be quite frank there is such a
thing as getting too much starch in
the diet, but, bless you, you get just
as much starch in wheat bread. The
whole idea is that potatoes are a near
bread which you have been denied. A
potato is no more fattening than a
slice of wheat bread. The danger of
fat comes from eating the bread plus
the potato. Therefore, cut out the
bread.
War work really has proved to be
an ideal reducer. In Germany and
even among some of our allies war
fare has proved a reducer because of
the actual shortage Of food. Even po-
tatoes, if one must go without fats of
all sorts and bread entirely, cannot
keep one plump. But here, Whatever
other food troubles we have had, we
certainly have had what the old house
wife would call plenty of it such as
| it is" And because of the various
food campaigns, cooking and food
| preparation generally have greatly
| improved with the result that food
has been rather more palatable than
ever. If figures could be gathered on
the subject 1t would probably be ap-
parent that folk in America had eaten
| with better appetite and actually
eaten better since the war-than before.
And now the thing to do is to turn
| this food energy into war work. Give
| yourself the delightful feeling Of hav-
! ing earned every bit you eat. Don't
! feel yourself privileged to partake of
your next meal till you have done
some bit of patriotic work. if it is only
| to turn the heel of an army stocking
or to weed a row of onions in your
| war garden.
