PATRONS ARE THE PATRIOTS
Customers of Some Hotels Profit Very
Little by New Plan of Conserva-
ton of Food Supply.

The food administration Is pleased
to pieces with the New York hotels for
saving more than a thousand barrels
of flour week and some IT tons of
meat a day by these wheatless-meat-
less occasions that are so popular now,
a writer in Golfers observes. Pro-
vision dealers report a falling off in
sales, and all is lovely and statistical.
TITS fair picture to gaze upon, but
honor where honor is duel That pa
tient hero, the hotel patron, ought to
come in for a few kind words, since
he pays the full price and eats the
half portion.
"Save wheat-use corn"-bread is 10
cents, corn bread is Is cents. AS a
transient consumer, the other noon, we
paid 80 cents for a slice of beef as
large as a postal card, plus one table
spoonful of creamed potatoes, plus a
bit of Yorkshire pudding about the size
of watch. No doubt it was all that
was good for us, but the price was
more. If the widely known principles
of economics are still working, we
helped make meat and bread cheaper
and paid as much as if we were max
ing them dearer.
A patriot is noble thing, but isn't
It better to be one than to trim one?
The hotel keepers of Manhattan are
playing both sides of the game and the
food administration furnishes a jazz
band of statistical admiration for their
Fr~I-
shrinking the meals and swelling the
prices need something all right, but
not governmental encouragement
Meanwhile the hotel user can feel sure
that the war has not changed his func-
ton at all-he's the paying goat now
Just as he used to no.

More That 100000 Pairs
of Shoes Needed for Army
Many for Pershing Warriors

Although the war department now
has on hand and contracted for total
of 15,437OO pairs Of shoes, Secretary
Baker announces that more than 1,OOO,-
600 pairs Of shoes will have to be OBJ
tanned for the army this year. This
is made necessary by the building up
of adequate stocks Of reserves, both In
France and in this country.
General Pershing, having in mind
the length of time shoes are expected
to last the men in France, has re-
quested shipments Of 1850 pairs Of
shoes for each $4,000 men monthly, or
approximately nine pairs Of shoes for
each man annually. This quantity is
in excess Of actual consumption, and
when reserve supply is built up the
quantities will be reduced.
For troops in this country after the
first issue of 100 per cent, II per cent
a month is required for upkeep. and e
per cent as reserve stock. At the
embarkation concentration camps $50
per cent is the ratio for equipping a
given number of men with 325 per cent
as the ration for reserve stock. In
France the upkeep is placed at Is per
cent for given number Of troops, with
IS per cent for the reserve supply.

How to Live.

It Is the hardest thing to live Just
the right way on this green earth.
For instance, here Is one Of Thomas
Davidson's twenty maxims. BE on
earth what good people hope to be
in heaven" that is, be without flaw,
But II 1t we're possible, and one saw
wherever he went what is good be-
cause he himself is good, this old
world would change to heaven imme-
diately-to him. So the way for one
to be happy. rich, noble, pure, honest,
brave, true, calm and all the other
virtues is just to start little heaven
ON his own account and fill it full OF
his own beautiful life. People will
laugh at this idea. but it is all as prac-
tical as picking up stone or break
ing stick. The great sin of this
world IS putting off to heaven what
can be done on earth.-Columbu (O)
