MUST CONSERVE FOR SAFETY

With, as is estimated, billion bushel wheat crop
America will be in shape to feed her allies and her armies
all right and this without going on wheaess basis after
the new crop is available This country requires about
4OO0O00OO bushels of wheat for all purposes including
seed Placing this years crop below the present estimate
or at 9000OO0OO bushels this would leave us over and
above our own needs 500000000 bushels for export AL
lowing 1O000O0OO bushels for seed and reducing the
American consumption to One-fourth the normal would
increase the quantity available for export in round num-
bers to 700000000 bushels The population of England
France and Italy totals about OG0000 1t will be
from this that with 7O00000O0 bushel surplus crop
could send to each of the above named countries five
bushels of wheat for each person and have nearly 1OO
100000 bushels to help out the neutral countries This
is more wheat than those COUNTRIES consume under
normal conditions and hence with conservation the
basis and Americans using one-fourth Of normal would
leave handsome surplus after allies are fully sup
piled This surplus it will be we'll to accumulate and
more with it if possible for 1919 may be lean year and
make demands on us we might be able to meet One
year should see the situation permanently improved for
by that time there should be such increase in the
mercantile fleet to permit the shipping of Argentine
Australian and Indian wheat to the worlds markets.
Argentine has big surplus of wheat now, and should
add largely to this year. There never has been short
age of wheat since the started only shortage Of
ships to carry it to the markets where it is wanted
However the only plan is to play dead safe by conserv
ing wheat products while we have them, and taking no

Prenatal Instruction of Mothers.
BY ANDREW E. CURRIER, MD.

Prenatal Instruction of Mothers.
We have only begun to consider
the question of disease as the re-
suit of the terrible war in which all
the world is now engaged.
] We see how it has not only
slaughtered millions of men, but
has depopulated country after coun-
try.
We can as yet scarcely realize the
CHASTITY effect it has had upon COM
munities where the civil popula-
tion is worn and weakened with
woe and anxiety, and where there
Is, and will continue to be, hunger,
thirst and nakedness.
Is there any power in medicine
or sanitation which will stay it?
Will there be doctors and grave
diggers enough to go around?
The mind reels at the prospect.
The men who are being killed and
invalided are the virile, the active,
the reproducers.
But suppose there was a chance
for reproduction; the women are
filled to the brim with hatred, Bit
terness, with suffering of every de-
scription-what Is the chance for
their unborn offspring?
What will be their inevitable In
heritance, physically and mentally?
Only recently has the importance Of
instructing expectant mothers in
the hygiene of pregnancy been rec
ognized as part Of the duty Of the
Health Department.
What duty could more positively
be paramount? No observant farm
er needs to be told that his stock
will bear better offspring If they
are we'll cared for when pregnant,
than If they are neglected or
abused.
Why should there be a different
result when the pregnant female is

From the moment a woman en-
ters the pregnant state, she enters

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

to the battle fields of France, but in
our daily life we can gain the rebirth
of complete unSelhshness.
Thrift, always a sturdy virtue,
whose. value has been well Under
stood by all successful men and
women, today assumes a new and
finer aspect than ever before.
In the days of peace those of US
who were thrifty practiced it because
OF selfish motives. We knew it was
the best thing for us; we knew it
would bring success and happiness.
Today we are practicing finer,
grander thrift. We are sacrificing
for our country. We are denying
ourselves and putting up with priva-
tionS and hardships, not because of
any personal motives but because we
know that our country needs all the
help. we can give.
Selfish thrift Is commendabIe, but
the thrift OF unselhsh patriotism is
sublime.
And because millions upon millions
of us have become thrifty who never
knew the value of this virtue before,
the war is making new nation of
us.
1t is giving us a national soul that
we never mad before.
It is process of nation wide in
dividual regeneration through thrift.
And in the days that shall come after
the war it will stand us well in hand
| just as it is doing today.
