SPEOPLE TO FOREGO

Food Administration Also Would
Restrict Eating to Usual Three
Meals Day.

The American people are asked by
the food, administration to discon-
tinue afternoon teas. theater supper
Parties and all meals except the usual
three a day.
Conservation or cereals and sugar
is now OF vita, Importance. said the
appeal. which characterized the con-
sumption of sandwiches, cakes and
sugar at extra" meals as an un-
necessary waste of foodsturs.
Would Regulate" Functions.
while the food administration rec
ognizes the value of social gather
ings where refreshments are served"
the statement said, 1T believes that
the hours for these functions can, and
should be, regulated SO that they take
the place of one of the three regular
meals. Indeed, such a meal may well
serve as a lesson in intelligent food
conservation.
in France and England no meals
are served after $50 o'clock at night.
In both countries public eating places
are closed for a definite period DUR
ing the afternoon.
1.-THE food administration now asks
the United States to fall in and cut
out theater suppers. afternoon teas
and all fourth meals. and make the
banquet, club luncheon or church sup
per a simple substitute for one of the
three daily meals"

the strange part OF the story. to
which latest development public at
tention is now directed for the frst
time. Hardly a yard farther did the
German advance progress.
From that day to this the gray
green hordes have been pressed back,
slowly at first. but with an ever-in-
creasing celebrity which now threat
ems to develop into a rout. In a word.
the luck of the Germans has deserted
them since the Virgin of, Albert was
dethroned. From being the truculent
conQuerors of nearly all Europe they
are now on their knees whining for
mercy. The foregoing facts cannot
be gainsaid. Viewed in retrospect
they form one of the most curious and
interesting episodes of this the great
est of all wars.

LINK FATE OF THE GERMANS
81 IN FALL. OF MADONNA STATUE
Hun Hordes Are Pressed Back Steadily
Since They. Dislodged 1t From Its
Strange Poise on Church Tower

All the world knows the story OF
the Madonna which was dislodged by
German shellire from its perch on
the tower OF the parish church at
Albert during the first mad rush of
the Huns through France in 1914.
The statue did not fall. nor was it
greatly damaged, but: the base was SO
shattered that 1t hung precariously
over the main road from Amiens to
Bapaume. which passed under the
very walls Of the beautiful old church.
! For some reason. when the red tide
of war swept westward through AL
bert. the Hun did not complete the
destruction of the tower. and the
static still maintained its strange
poise after the invaders had been
rolled back by the battle OF the Marine.
Those were the days of great" hope.
: France was fighting with skill and
Determination. Britain was steadily
lcreasing her small but wonderful

i Ing almost at a gallop through East
russia In fact, there were optimists

Some hint of the trend OF popular

The Germans, who certainly never

a LOYAL CONGRESSMAN.

President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled much moot
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection Of Congress-
man Slayden Of Texas, which resulted
in that gentleman Withdrawing from
the race. Mr.. Slayden voted for both
the Conscription Bill and the Declare
ton Of War. but had a consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft for the volunteer sys-
tenn in the Conscription Bill.
There has been much discussion as
20 whether . Congressman's loyalty or
war record should be Judged accord
ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration Of War and has voted since.
or whether his opposition to ante-war
measures looking to the military en-
cheney Of the country should be count
Cd against him. President Wilson ap-
pears to have answered the question.
