second. meats and fats-that Is. in all
bread and cereals. beef. pork, poultry,
dairy and vegetable-oil products. The
average consumption of our people Of
breadstuffs amounts to about SIX
pounds per week and of meats and
fats to four pounds week for each
person. A reduction in consumption
of less than one-half pound per week
per person in each of these two great
groups of foods would accomplish our
purpose. We wish to emphasize. how
ever. that we do not want curtailment
in the use of milk for children.
Some of our homes by reason Of
limited incomes cannot now provide
more food than they should have to
maintain health in the family. They
cannot rightfully be asked to make
the suggested reduction In consump-
ton. But the great majority of eur
homes can do more than suggested.
This year AZ last believe We can
accomplish the necessary ends by vol
untary action of enr own people. The
Willingness to assume Individual re-
sponsibility In this matter by the vast
majority is one of the greatest proofs
of the character and idealism of our
people. and feel 1t can be constantly
relied upon. Our simple formula for
this year is to further reduce consump-
ton and waste of all food.

This Bird Can Sew.

The 'tailor BIRD Of India is an ex.
cellent seamstress. When this bird de-
cides to build a nest it chooses leaf
that suits Its purpose and perforates
the edges with its beak. Then it takes
a long piece Of grass fiber and sews
the edges together, making pocket.
II the leaf is not large enough, 1t Is
pieced out with another leaf. At the
end Of the seam the bird makes knot
in the thread to prevent unraveling.
This pocket is not the birds home,
however, but only the beginning of it.
The nest is made within the pocket.
The end of a slender branch Is always
selected, and as the leaf retains its
natural color the home of the bird Is
concealed very effectively from ami
mails and other enemies Of birds.-PeO-
pies Home Journal.

they themselves were not getting
enough to eat. They gave up their
meat once a week for the Belgians,
though they only had 1t twice weeR
themselves, and for the Armenians
they set aside the handful Of fresh
grain that otherwise each girl would
have ground In her own little stone
mill. Both contributions, from all the
girls In one missionary's school,
amounted only to SIS month. "But 1t
was a tremendous sacrifice" their
teacher writes, although joyous one.
1t actually meant less bread each day,
and once a week a meal Of dry bread
and water. This was done by 80 girls
from the meanest homes In the world

and fifteen"
Four hundred thousand girls In A
states have become Patriotic Leaguers
since America declared war. If as
many school girls and working girls
from all classes pledge to earn and

But no one close to the front

Among the non-Burmese tribes

less they are ordered to do so, and
the prospective bridegroom often has
to be dragged to the brides house. It
Is left, however, to the Was to reach
