PALMLEAF FAMINE
IS NEXT IN LINE
DUE TO THE WAR

Among all the threatened fam
ines brought about by war condi-
tions, a palm-Ieaf fan famine is
to be expected, according to a re-
port from Consul General George
E. Anderson, Hongkong. China.
"One of the lines Of export O.
some moment from Hongkong to
the United States which has been
temporarily destroyed by high
freight rates and the high ex-
change value Of silver IS that OF
palm-leaf fans" says Mr.. Ander-
son. Only IT'S packages of these
fans were exported to the United
States In 1917 as compared with
5,028 in 1916 and 1851 in 1915
The common fans are simply the
trimmed leaf and stem Of the or
binary small palm which grows
wild IN most districts Of south Chi
ma, If It is allowed to do SO, but
usually for the fan trade is grown
in lOwlying grounds in the San
Wui district of the Pearl river del
Ia In kwangtung pTovince-one of
the four districts from which most
OF the Chinese In the United States
originally emigrate, Wien thus
cultivated or grown the palms are
thickly sOwn, varying, according
TO methods followed, from 5000 to
10000 plants to an acre, the few
er the plants the better the return
in high-grade leaves.
1t requires about seven years to
h. To-
sary for good fan leaves and after
that they furnish an annual crop
indefinitely, the Chinese stating
that the trees live for hundreds of
years, producing their annual
crop. An old tree will produce
leaves as large as feet IN length
with a breadth just above the low
er end OF perhaps three feet"

SLACKFRS AMONG
WEALTHY WOMEN
OF HUN NATION

In a communication addressed
ITO the Women of the Upper
Classes" in the Kolnische Zeitung
the writer brings out the import
ance Of complete mobilization of
the energies Of all women during
war.
Let no one interpose the OBJ
lection that a person who in this,
the fourth year of the war, has yet
to gain a comprehension of the ex-
tremities in which our people are
laboring. who still places personal
well-being above concern for the
common good, is irretrieYably lost
for a great object" says The writer
Certainly. every German woman,
the wealthy woman most Of ALL
ought to start to have cOmpre-
heuded her duty toward her cOun-
Try in this fearful war OF starva-
ton. as well as the divers aspects
Of the policy OF holding out and
conducted herself accordingly
However. it is precisely in a mode
OF life which long-standing cul-
ture and inherited wealth have
rendered luxurious that force OF
habit plays SO important a rolls
and herein may well lie an eX-
PLANTATION for the disastrous reten-
ton OF her comforts by the woman
Of this type. With this attitude
there must be merciless interfer-
enCe.
Because the educated middle
class is scarcely able longer to
furnish the necessary reserve con-
tingents, we must have recourse
10 the women OF the upper strata
Of society. Their strength is 10
be a greater or less degree unex-
hausted; they are relieved or do
nestle possibilities ~ many
servants, Thanks to their large
financial resources they are, even
without resOrting to subterfuges,
immune from undernOLTishment
For the same reason they are in Ia
position to restore their strength
by travel. and because of their
larger wardrobes to risk, rather
than the women OF the lower class
es using up their clothes in war
work.
Thus all considerations favor
the enlistment OF the service Of
chose women who have hitherto
lived at their ease with the ex-
cep'ion, of course, Of those who

EAT LESS, LEAVE
CLEAN PLATES, rs
WORD OF OFFICER
Thrift Stamps

"Size up what you can eat and
then halve it" is the advice Of Rear
Admiral MCGOWAN, paymaster gen
ersl of the navy. IF every man
and woman, and especially every
housekeeper, in the country would
observe, as the navy does, the doc
trine OF the clean plate, an immense
saving would be affected.
"One of the tasks imposed upon
the supply department of the navy
by the war has been the subsistence
Of good part of the American
army enroute to Europe. The armed
forces transported overseas are fed
by the navy. Here is a sample of
the meals served on a transport at
sea:
Breakfast: Pork sausage, boiled
potatoes, canned fruit, bread and
butter, coffee.
Dinner: Roast beef, succotash,
mashed potatoes, tapioca pudding,
bread and butter, coffee
Supper: Cold corned beef, vege-
table salad, jam cake, bread and
butter, cocoa
THE reason the navy can give
meals ike LIlS at low cost Is ne
cause of the doctrine of the clean
plate" said the paymaster gen
eral. Then men can have all they
want and are encouraged TO help
themselves, but set the whole
country an example because they
eat what they take. There are two
measures of appetite-the eye and
the stomach-and the eye usually
over-estimates the real hunger Ca
pacity.
Think of this when you are din
ing at a hotel. and order two
courses, and wait and see how you
feel about the rest. And when you
are lunching at a cafeteria, don't
heap your tray with every tempt
ing dish you see. Take one or two
things as do the men in the navy,
and return for more if you are
still hungry. This is the sort of
conservation everyone in the coun-
try may practice, and it saves
money and helps digestion"
