In single phrase he combined an
epigram, warning. declaration Of

The value of team work for the ma

Of the Individual beyond the share he
contributes to the general power is neg

quoted than applied, waited to be dem

lal German government, who after its
fashion, lost no time in claiming 1t as
a personal discovery, marking 1t with
the MADE in Germany" stamp and

Yes. I, too. saw them, many I saw,
indoors and out, at the theater and
at the rink, knitting, oh no, not Khaki
gray. but the gay colors of frivolity.
knitting pink and yellow and white ;
knitting sweaters, sweaters, God help
them, for their own soft shoulders.
Yet in the trenches Of France our
soldiers are shivering, shivering, freez-
ing for gray. gray. GRAY!
And thou saidst, I shall be
lady for ever: so that thou
didst not lay these things to
thy heart, neither didst re-
member the latter end Of 1t.
Waste makes want and want makes
woe Does not England already knowf
1t has gone from Spend to Save, from
Scrimp to Starve. Do you know,
oh careless daughters, that there even
the garbage cans are inspected for
waste ?-that one is fined for throw
ing away slice of bread?
Yet here often more food is wasted
at one dinner than would feed n fam
lily. Yes, wasted today-but what Of
tomorrow?
Upon the land of my people
shall come up thorns and bri-
ers; yea, upon all the houses
of JOY in the joyous city.
Ice cream sodas and cakes and con-
fectionery, hats, bags and hosiery
do you. too, watch and wonder how
the young girls fling away the fu-
ture?
Yet. still uncared-for, the orphans
Of France and Belgium, Serbia, thou
sands wait suffering to be fed. And
OUR Orphans-when the great shock
we can save?
Therefore hear now this,
thou that are given to
pleasure, that dwellest care
lessly, that sayest In thine
heart, I am. and none else be-
side me; shall not sit as
widow. neither shall l know
the loss of children.
1t Is so easy to do-to save. ItIis
so hard to do-to supply what prodi-
gality has squandered. 1t Is SO SIM
Pile to do-to lend what we save to
the government that our neighbor's
fate may be averted or diminished.
Now, now, NOW! Must our slug
CARDS, male and female have to go to
the ant to take heed-to comprehend
how, If each lays up grain of provi-
sion against want, the whole hill shall
be saved?
| Many days and years shall
ye be troubled, we careless
| women: for the vintage shall
fail. the gathering shall not
come.
Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly
spent, robs sufferers abroad. robs our
soldiers. robs our own future. Every
cent patriotically lent to Thrift cam
paign or Liberty Loan. brings peace
nearer-nearerl
Rise up, We women that are
at ease: hear my voice, ye
