SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
 FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid- cred any plan of seizing foodstuffs owned by householders. Nor Is there any policy of this kind suggested for the future.
 Iff- spite of this fact the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly to issue official de- nials of rumors that the government intends communicating preserves and canned goods put up in American homes.
 These rumors were originated partly by pro-German propagandists and part ly by conscienceless grafters, who sought to profit through buying from misinformed housewives.
 The year 1918 will see home canning and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before in the nations history, officials in Washington believe. And they are assuring all patriotic housewives that foods sc saved are theirs, and theirs alone.

BIG HERDS CONE World War Wastes Europe's
 Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralssrs Cooperate With Food Administration h Con
 ssrvatlon Measurss.

It is probable that Europe for many years after the war will look to . great extent to America for It's meat supply.
 Europe's herds are dwindling under wars demands faster than they can be replenished.
 When the German armies retired from occupied portions of France and Belgium approximately 1.800.000 head of cattle were appropriated. This ad- dition virtually safeguarded Germany from cattle shortage other nations now Suffer.
 In England some 2,400000 acres of grass lands have by compulsory meas ures been forced into grain production, thus reducing pasturage and hay lands. A declining scale of maximum meat prices for live cattle was ordained in England, as follows: For September, $17.76 per hundred pounds; October. SIPS; November and December, $16.0S. and for January, $14.40 The evident intent of this measure was to drive the beef animals into market. ss soon as possible.
 According to official French figures, the cattle of Frmce have decreased to . total of 12,341 900 as compared with 14.807. 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack of forage principally, France Is pro- ducing only one gallon of milk where before the war two and one-half gal Ions were produced.
 Meantime the United States food ad- ministration has taken steps to con- serve our nocks and herds and to in- crease their numbers. The stock breed CTS of this country show . disposition to cooperate with the government in this.
 For many years 1t has been a prac- tice among many of the dairy people of this country to kill male calves at birth and in many instances the fe- males if not needed to replenish their herds rather than go to the expense of maturing them into veal. The high prices of meat caused the virtual dis continuance of this killing. Another encouraging fact is 70 per cent of calves killed for veal this year were males.
 Somebody has very aptly said that the wars of the world have been won with grease. meaning that bacon and lard have beeh as essential to success in war as powder, which is true.
 The hogs of Europe have been very greatly sacrificed to present day needs This makes the American burden all the more heavy and makes doubly ss- sential an increased pork production in this nation. In Italy grain Is now forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den- mark under a recent order one-fourth of the hogs were ordered to be killed. It is estimated that one-half have now been killed.

LATE WAR NEWS.

It is claimed that over eighty thous- and Huns bit the dust in the last drive made by them on the western front. Hindenburg is in sanitarium and Ludendorff is wondering whether the little gained is worth the awful price.
 The Italians are asking for a few divisions of Americans so they can carry the eastern front into Austria. Their lines have held and they have done fearful execution to the attack ing Austrians.
 On both the eastern and western fronts there is an apathy on the part of the attacking forces, with a re- newed vigor on the part of the Allies.
 A carload of new recruits for the navy went through yesterday on their way to new uniforms and new ships on the Pacific coast. They were full of the enthusiasm that is going to make the world safe for an honest man to live in. Flagstaff was en- titled to their cheers and they gave them with will.
 Contingent fees seems to have been the flees that have bitten many of the profiteers back East. Thousands have been going to the go-betweens in contracts, but, thanks be, they are "war stamping" them out.
 Turkey has attacked the American consulates and footed American mis- 'sionary hospitals. While gathering up the debris, it is difficult to under stand just why a sanitary squad should not be detailed for Mexico, Turkey and the Austrichian.

Conservation Mathematics.

Vital statistics" may make dry fig ures interesting to the children Tn the public schools in Evanston, Ill. The conservation committee there has pre- pared arithmetic and algebra text books, which the schools have intro- duced. Instead of finding out how much faster A can run than B, the children have such problems as this:
 '"The average use of wheat flour is 4.9 pounds per person each week. If on wheatless days no wheat flour is eaten and normal amounts are used on other days, what would be the sav- ing in flour per person each week For Evanston? For the whole nation of 100,000,0 ,000? About how many bar rels of 196 pound each will be saved by the nation weekly?"
 So interested are the children in these problems, which have been care fully compiled according to figures ob- tained from the food administration, that they go themselves to the grocery and butcher shops to find out prices, weights, amounts, and to compute what can be accomplished by various kinds of saving.

Saving Tinfoil and Fabrics.

Saving tinfoil and collapsible tubes, in wide use for dentifrices, paints, and other materials, is a real wartime saving which is being encouraged by the New York division, because it is saving without false economy--the re- generation of material which other wise would be lost.
 This division will cooperate with the National Retail Drygoods Associ- ation in their plan to eliminate the sample-giving evil, as it is estimated that an average of one per cent in fabrics is given away in samples, al- though the result in sales is insignifi- cant.

To My Sweetheart Soldier

The Bible says man must work
out his own salvation. How clear
ly the meaning of that Good Book
is being revealed to me these
daysl We are all born with our
souls in bondage. The free wing
ing of our spirits toward tran
quillity and peace must be through
individual effort.
You and your numberless COM
rades are gaining your souls re-
lease by nobility and courage and
sacrifice. Newcomer are gaining
ours by resignation and hope and
faith. To all of US must come in
one form or another temptation to
be overcome, and the measure Of
our victory is the measure also Of
our souls release!
Goodnight, my husband! The
weeks are passing. Easter IS al
most here, and after that will
come the opening of the buds and
the glad miracle of spring. Soon,
with the first blossoms Of the
year, will come the poisoning Of
that other flower-the little flower
from the garden of the Lord. Be-
loved, hold me to your heartfelt
me feel your hand sustaining,
leading, clasping close in love,
which waters cannot drown nor
floods overflow, and which, with
its sweet sister, Peace, shall pass
all understanding.
YOUR OWN.
