ideal food administration figure"
has been defined in a statement issued
by Jay Cooke, Sd. local food admin

Mr.. Cooke. in his heart-to-heart talk
with women THE less sugar you
eat the more slender and graceful
you will become. Besides, you are
conserving food elements for our al
lies and fighting the Hun while you
stay at home.
There are hundreds of thousands
of children and young people, of both

play their patriotism only by acts
of self-denial. l suggest to these
young people that they display their
patriotism by cutting down their al
iowance of candy. chocolate sundaes,

Conference Soon to Plan Uniform
Business Garb for Women.

A uniform dress for business wom-
en- is proposed by the Y. w. c. A.
Standardization of dress and condi-
tions and hours Of labor are planned
by business women of the Y. w. C. A.
representing every part of the United
States A conference will be held soon,
probably in New York.
1t is believed that Standardization
plans can be extended until practical
ly every business woman in the
United States has been reached. The
women who have taken the lead in
the movement include heads of a
number of big companies and cor
porations and professional women of
national regulations.
Numerous benefits will be derived
from the proposed Standardization. it
is anticipated. None is probably more
important than economies which
would be effected.

QUESTION OF NERVE.

Once more stress is placed on the
fact that women conductors checked
an impending panic when a subway
train ran Wild in New York city, SAYS
Philadelphia Telegraph. From this
one would naturally gather that it is.
unusual for women to meet big
emergency without some hysteria. but
Is this the eight impression? There is
reason to believe that man is not su-
perior to woman in the matter Of
nerve. Is it the man who remains
calm and knows just what to do when
something happens to the children? Is
II the man who. while walking along
the street. tears his petticoat in strips
ahd binds up the bleeding hurts of
some injured person: Is it the man
VINO can sit in dental chair and knit
Il sweater while having teeth repaired?
Many men. of course. are justified in
roasting of their nerve. but a great
surgeon who has to have>a cool, col
Iectcd nurse at his side during q criti-
cal operation will tell you that it is
not always the woman who grows faint
and has to be carried out.
