Let Everybody Do II.

A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Journal writes to say that he has vol
lntarily Teduced his consumption of
wheat, meat and sugar by 80 per cent.
Under compulsion, he says, he would
gladly reduce it by 60 per cent or even
more, for then he would be assured
that everybody was doing it, whereas
now there Is every possibility that
some pro-German or Stacker is COB
bling up or wasting all that he saves.
This constant urge to voluntary sacFi.
fee places all the sacrifice Upon the
good citizen, while the unpatriotic citi-
zen goes free. The principle is undemO-
cratic; which is to say that In demo-
cratic country it is entirely wrong.
Only through compulsion in food con-
servation can justice be done to the
sacrificing patriot. - Winnipeg Tele-

weight and flare at the bottom where
it is precisely even in length and
reaches to the knees.
1t is the blouse that reveals the
cleverness Of its designer. It's body
hangs from very short yoke, gath

The body of the blouse Is shocked in
three rows Of shocking where 1t joins
the shirred yoke. 1t is usual this sea-
son to use one or more colored silks
in doing the shocking on white frocks
and these little bits of color are very
childish and pretty on dresses for all
little girls. There are two pockets at
the bottom of the blouse with smock-
Ing across the top and buttons that re-
peat the color used In the shocking.
They are set on purely as finish for

the fact that a river flowed through
it, he buried the river. He diverted
