ALL KHAKI NOW
The Blue and the Gray No
More.

(From the Confederate Veteran.)
What has become of the blue and the
gray? ,,,zg ~. .y,g
They have blended into, brown.
The blue once marched against the
gray,
But now together they march teday;
For there are no Yanks,
And there Is no gray I:
Under one flag they are bound
What has become Of the Yankee lads?
And where are the Rebels. too?
They've all gone together across the
sea >
To fight that their country may still
be free;
( For there are no Yanks,
And there are no Rebs-
Americans only are the gray and blue.
And where is the feeling that once
they bore
In the fifty years that have passed?
Every heart that beats, though many
are sad,
Goes out with pride to every lad;
For there is no North,
And there is no South
One land under God at last!

HOW TO REDUCE,
HIGH COST OF LIVING DURING.
THESE WAR TIMES-WHAT
EVERY WOMAN CAN DO.

Look over your old clothes. You:
can never appreciate how much you
can brighten and freshen up your
wardrobe until you use Dy-O-La Dye.
Take some of your discarded blouses
and dresses, dye them with some OF
the sixteen different colors of Dy-O-La,
change the trimmings bit and you
will be surprised at the result.
Dy-O-La is the modern dye made
by skilled chemists who have removed
all the difficulty from home dyeing
in order that you may get perfect re-
suits Old style dyes require separ-
ate dye for each kind of goods. That
makes trouble las you probably know
for if you get a package for the
wrong kind of material the goods are
spoiled. You can't make such mis-
take with Dy-O-La Dye.
Take some garment that you have
grown tired of or that you desire to
color the fashionable shade of the
moment, look over Dy-O-La Dye color
chart at your nearest druggists or
storekeeper, select the one that
pleases, and follow the printed direG-
lions. They will look as If they had
lust come from the dressmaker.
And remember-the colors will be
lust as fast and durable as they are
beautiful. They won't rub off or bleach
out.
Buy it of your nearest druggist or
storekeeper, but if they have not the
color you want we will send it to you
on receipt of ten cents and at the
same time include direction book and
color chart.
Dy-O-La Dye is made in Black.
Blue, Navy Blue, Brown, Seal Brown,
Light Green, Dark Green. Scarlet,
Yellow. Orange, Cardinal Red, Pink.
Purple, Dark Wine, Old Gold, Turkey
Red, and from these sixteen colors
great variety of other shades and col
ors can be made.

men, women and children of our
Allies and for the starving people in
other countries. This is a personal
obligation upon every one OF US to-
ward some individual abroad who Will
suffer privation to the extent of our
own individual negligence.
| If we are to reduce the consumption
| of few products which we should ex-,
port abroad, we will need to eat 2
larger proportion of many different
foodstuffs which we can not export
and which we have at home. For
this reason we MUST NOT waste ANY
foodstuffs. A great many individuals
in our population eat far more food
than is necessary to maintain their
health and strength In, this emer-
gency only the simplest of living Is
patriotic. 81 We want no person in the
United States to eat less than is re-
quired for good health and full
strength, for in this emergency Amer :
ca requires every atom of the produce
tive power of our people. While
many can eat less, all of our popula-
ton can substitute other foodstuf!s
for the few that are vitality needed TOR
export. ..
We must not overlook the fact that
Russia collapsed not because OF the
Germans on her borders but largely
because of the failure to organize and
feed her own citizens, and, if we are
to emerge victorious from this war,
we can not risk the collapse of another
of our Allies from this same cause
There is no waste of food among any
of our Allies-there is the most dras-
tic reduction in their consumption;
there is actual privation among their
women and children; there is star
Walton in Belgium.
We have already issued a series OF
suggestions in the Home Card-a card
that is now hanging in over ten mil
lions of homes. These suggestions
have olready shown important re-
suits, and to these We now add other.
The problem Of saving in food is
local and individual one, so that more
precise and definite rules Just to all
can not be formulated. 1t is a matter
| for the conscientious consideration Of
every individual that he or she should
eat only that which is necessary to
maintain bodily health and strength,
and unselfshly to select those food
stuffs the use of which relieves inter-
national necessities. In this winter OF
.191S lies the period when there will
be tested in this great free country
of ours the question as to whether or
not on rpeople are capable Of volun-
tary individual self-sacrifice to save
the world.

will be found good and sanitary

scale must ensue.
Food has now taken a dominant
position in the war, and We must ask
the American people to sacrifice far
more than was at first thought nee
essary. We have exported the whole
of the surplus Of the wheat from this
harvest after reserving to ourselves
an amount sufficient for our normal
consumption of seed and -four until
the next harvest, and therefore the
amount of wheat -four that the United
States can contribute to mix with the
war bread of our Allies during this
winter will be simply the amount
that our people reduce their consump-
ton month by month. In other words,
every grain of wheat or its products
that the Allies receive from the
United States from now on will be
exac city the amount which our peo-
pie have saved each month on their
behalf.
The Allies today ask for rs per cent
more fats (pork, dairy products
and vegetable oils) than we consider
our monthly production permits us
to send them without trenching on our
own supplies, or, on the other hand,
unless we can consume less. Due to
the shortage in shipping, our avail
able sugar supplies must be less than
normal from the present time for
ward.
Thus every particle of diminished
consumption by the American people
is one particle more for the soldiers,
