one-third. Recently Lord Rhondda ca- bled to the food administration of the United States in behalf of the French, English and Italian governments: unless you are able to send the allies at least 15,000,000 bushels of wheat over and above what you have already ex- ported up to January l, and in addition to that total eXportable surplus from Canada l cannot take the responsibility Of assuring our people that there will be enough food to win the war" Our food administration sent this reply:
 We will export every grain that the American people save from their nor nal consumption We believe our peo- pie will not fail to meet the emer- gency."
 Fifteen million more bushels must be sent to keep starvation from Bel gum. There is only one way by which these 90 million bushels can be sent and that is for the 22,O00,O0O million homes Of America to use. that much less than their normal amount We ! do not need to be surprised when it is said that this war can be won in the American kitchen. Every American housewife ought to stand guard in the kitchen and see that America does not fall in this matter. Follow the sug- gestion of our text: Use barley, and beans, and lentils and millet.
 The herds and flocks of France, Bel gum, Italy and England have been re- duced each year of the war until now they have thirty-three million fewer food animals than they had before the war. Experts tell us that the average amount of vegetable diet used in Amer ica is II per cent of the food con- stunned. This is 8 the amount used in , some European countries, and accord ing to expert authority is less than hali l the amount that could safely be used without impairing the health or vital ity of anyone.
 It would seem the part of wisdom ir the midst of the stress and strain o. 5 this frightful time to close every brew. cry and save every grain of barley ant corn to feed the world.
 We ought to have conservation or many other lines. The total cost O the heat and light and power of tn, ? Boston public schools in 1916 wa :. s204,919. The Boston breweries cos S222,000 for the same items the sam T year. But the Boston public school were closed to save coal and the brew !. cries were allowed to run. The gov ernment is doing fine work in man, U ways. Private cars are prohibited T parlor and sleeping cars are reduce, in number. We are Solemnly sum
 moned to eliminate waste of ever. o kind As patriotic duty, if for n ' other reason, men ought to stop smok
 ing. Auto riding simply for pleasur
 should cease. There are a thousand
 ways in which our American extrava
 gance ought to stop. The daily cost O
 this war for all belligerents is almos k4<
 to the present is almost 100000 900,
 900, or nearly ? per cent of the com
 bined national wealth of the warrin I nations.
 At the colse of 1917 over 5000, ,00 . men had been killed in action. On : million men, women and children ha i been massacred. Three million ha
 died of starvation. Six million ha
 been wounded and had been in hospi
 tals. Sherwood Eddyisays: "No huma
 brain can calculate. no heart can fath
 om the cost or loss of this terribl
 conflict"
 There must be a conservation of ou
 money, not that we may hoard it, bu
 that we may loan it to Uncle San
 This is the privilege of every citize
 even to the small boy and girl. It ' the sacred duty in these solemn time
 of every person to lend all he can | the government of the United State
 We must develop a war conscience, S
 that people will not waste, nor hoar'
 but give and lend. If our young me
 are willing to give all, to lay their live
 upon the altar of their country, W
 ought to blush with crimson shame
 we are not willing to do our utmost
 win this war.
 Then to win this war there must I \ the conservation of manhood. Those i k control of our governmental affair
 realize this. The United States arm | is said to be the cleanest place in tn | world for a young man. Liquor \ banished from the army. Surgeons ir
 form the soldiers of the peril of in
 moral practices. The Y. M c. A. sec | retaries have found that the soldier
