THE FIRST GREAT SHOCK.

Americas first great shock of the
war has come.
With bated breath almost. many, es-
pecially the thousands whose relatives
are assigned to foreign service, have
waited for some such disaster as has
occurred in the sinking of the Tuscania
with the loss of more than thousand
young American soldiers.
The fact that the transport was I'M
der the exclusive protection of the
British navy affords some consolation,
though in the sudden taking of thou
sand fine lives there is little comfort
to be- had at this time.
The blow hurts. 1t cuts deeply. 1t
stirs the deep anxiety of every father,
mother, sister and brother in this
country But it brings home all the
more impressively and awfu1ly that we
are at war!
In such a war as this we must ex-
pect terrible losses, and we must be
prepared to receive them with the for
titude characteristic of our people.
There is no doubt that Germany has

BOARDING.HOUSE SLACKERS.


A new type of unpatrlot has devel-I
oped in the land.
He-sometimes she-is the board
ing house Stacker.
They are the folks who are now
turning up their noses at corn mullins,
grits, rice, buckwheat cakes. or oat-l
meal
They insist on having wheat -four
biscuits. They want biscuits three
times day, and as many at meal
as they can cram down their threats.
Small wonder that the good ladies
who are conducting boarding houses
are at their wits ends.
With such people at their tables,
their problem, at present, is more than
aggravating.
To get -four they must also pur-
chase, pound for pound AN equal
amount of other cereal products. They
must, therefore, serve these products,
prepared in various ways, in similar
proportion.
But these clearinghouse slackers
haughtily sceff the proffered dish of
corn bread. They don't like" oatmeal.
They don't like buckwheat cakes,
although there's nothing better for
breakfast. They don't like" rice,
than which there is no more whole
some or substantial food. They
don't like" grits. a dish on which
they were probably raised.
These slackers ought to be given
stiff lesson on patriotism. They ought
to be told that their conduct is moth
ing, short of deliberate unpatriotism,
narrowly approaching the treasonous.
They know, or should know, that we
must send nearly four times as much
wheat abroad this year as we have
been sending. and that any of us will
be lucky, two or three months from
now, to have biscuits even once a
day.
We are seeing the last white -four
for many years. Already the baker
les have discontinued making whole
flour bread The new Victory bread
has twenty per cent. some other ce-
reals in it. All public eating places
are forced to serve something besides
| flour breads on two days of the week.
Housewives are limited in their pur-
chases of flour. So are the farmers.
But these boarding house slackers
feel that they are in a special class,
better than anybody else, and must
have the best in the land The idea
of making sacrifice themselves, the
very thought of doing what everybody
else is doing, is preposterous from
their viewpoint.
Every time one Of these boarding
| house slackers makes some sighting
remark about the new war menu their
landladies are forced to serve them,
some patriotic person at the table
ought TO break plate over their heads
and, with one of the jagged pieces,
write Stacker" across their foreheads.
