THE TASK AT HAND.

/ Every patriotic American man.
woman, and child wants to give some
service today to the country that
has nurtured them. Secretly, most
! of us will admit We want to do big
thing, a dramatic thing,
vital and fine and heroic. 1t is not
so much that we want to do some
thing that will win recognition and
praise. But we want to feel in this
hour of darkness that our effort.
small though it may be, has passed
the world forward toward the Light.
even if ever so little.
This day of action, this generation
of deeds has swept US far beyond the
passive acceptance of "The also serve
who only stand and wait We must
act, each of US, all of us, all of US.
and We must act quickly. Where is
deed at hand for every one of US
to do.
The deed at hand for the house
VIE TO do is to save food.
Save the crumbs of bread, TIE
scraps of meat, the few drops of
milk, the lump of sugar,-oh, how
petty and small it all sounds beside
the big thing we would like to do
the vital thing. the fine thing, the
thing heroic for our country!
But is there a finer, more vital.
more heroic deed in all the world
than to save human life?
And this is what the Housewife of
America will do, if she will substi-
tute other cereals for part of the
wheat, eat meat only once a day. see
that not a drop of milk is wasted in
her kitchen. save the sugar, be eco
nomical in her use of fats, and re-
lievc our railways for necessary war
work by using local products as far
as possible, and by cooking when she
can with wood fires and the fireless
cooker.
Yes. if the American Housewife
will do these things she will save the
lives of hundreds and thousands
across the water. She will save
men, women, and children from star
walton. And she will do more. IF
the American Housewife will con-
serve food, she will save thousands
of lives that otherwise would be lost
in the trenches and on No Mans
Land.
For she will help shorten the war!
Military experts have long pointed
out that it is not necessarily the
country that has the largest army,
the biggest guns, the best aeroplanes
rines that will win the war.
No. this is a fight of starvation.
The ma tons that can feed their peo-
pie longest and best-those nations
will win the war.
And the Allies. instead of Ger
many, can do this. if the American
Housewife will run her kitchen so eff
ficiently that there is no waste, and
if she will regulate the eating habits
of her family so that they conform
to the program marked out by the
Food Administration of substituting
other foods for those that are needed
abroad. In this way,-and only in
this way,-can this country and the
Allies win the war.
Such is the task at hand for the
American Housewife. 1t is not a
task that can be taken up today and
laid aside tomorrow. The burden of
Food Conservation must be borne
daily. hourly; never can it be forgot
ten as long as the war lasts.
Will the American Housewife
shoulder this responsibility for the
sake of saving human lives?
Do not look to Your neighhor for
the answer. Turn to yourself. for
YOU are the American Housewife!

torpedo.

Looking Forward

When the Christmas holiday is gone, most
PEOPLE begin to think about the closing of the
year, reviewing events of the last twelve months
that have moved them deeply and wondering
what the future has in store for them.
1ntrospection is good thing to practice now
and then, for it takes the mind off the duties of
the present, and permits it to ponder the cause
OF success or failure. Usually person comes
out of a revery of this kind with chastened soul
and firmer decision to follow the path of
righteousness and probity.
The last days of year particularly invite to
reflection and meditation. The mind travels
back over road Of twelve months, crowded with
incidents that have helped make or mar the soul.
1t stops at many mile post to recall significant
