FD21 CONSERVATION
 MULES EXPLAINED IN
 FOREIGNERS HOMES
Y. w. c. A. DOING SPECIAL WORK AMONG soHEMiANS AND SPAN ARDS TO HELP GOVERN
 MENT.

Two obstacles to efficient execu- ton of the governments food conser- vation plans b.d fair to disappear as the work of the International Insti- ute, the division of the Young Wo- mems Christian Association devised to deal with problems of foreign-born women, extends it's work.
 San Antonio has been the center of this type of work in the South, west, but recent trips of sectional leaders through Texas disclosed the fact that the number of women in Texas who speak Bohemian is ex- ceeded only by the number speaking Spanish Women of neither of these nationaLties have hitherto co operat. cd thoroughly and understandingly with tte food conservation program. This has been due solely to the fact they have not understood the plans.
 Continuation of policies heretofore adopted promises acceptable transla- tions, into the languages with which these women are familiar, of the food conservation program.
 The other obstacle in the way of the food program, is the infiexibility Of appetities. Foods must be some what like, in taste, those formerly used, or, in general the foreign-born, Texas will avoid them. To this prob lem the Young Womens Christian Association is directing the attention of it's specialists and immediate re suits now seem guaranteed.

The suggestion that a President of

stalwart fighting ability might appeal
to some people as amusing 1t did not
commend itself in that light to the
President. Here is his reply:
my Dear Mrs Meyer:
Your letter Of June 10 has warmed
my heart. Your feeling about your
sons is the feeling which l should
think every mother in whom the true
spirit OF motherhood and Of Ameri-
canism dwells would have, and I like
to believe that it is true that the coun-
try is full Of mothers Of the same
heroic and self-sacriticing sort 1t
quickens my pulse and strengthens my
belief in the splendid capacity of this
country to meet every crisis Of this
sort to receive such a message as you
have been gracious and kind enough
to send me, and l shall treasure it in
my heart as typical expression of
devoted American womanhood.
CORDIALLY and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"

IN THE OLD HOME.

They are left alone in the dear old
home,
After so many years,
When the house was full of frolic and
fun,
OF childish laughter and tears.
They are left alone, they two-once
more
Beginning life over again.
Just as they did in the days of yore
Before they were nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these
days;
The children went one by one
Away from home on their separate
ways
When the childhood days were done
How healthily hungry they used to be!
What romping they used to do!
And mother-for weeping-can hardly
To set the table for two.
They used to gather around the fire
While someone would read aloud,
But whether to study or work or play
Twas loving and merry crowd.
And now they are two that gather
there
At evening to read or sew,
And it seems almost too much to beal
When they think of the long ago.
All, well-ah, we'll, it's the way of the
world!
Children stay but a little while
And then into other scenes are
whirled,
Where other homes beguile;
But it matters not how far they roam
Their hearts are fond and true,
And there's never home like the
dear old home,
Where the table is set for two.

with your blood"
Sorrowfully the architect returned
to the city, his soul torn by ambition
and remorse. "Damnation, everlast-

INJURED. At last remorse overcame his
love of fame and ambition, and be-
fore the fatal hour of meeting he con-

be a good thing to deceive Satan him
self. You will go to the appointed
place. You will take first the plan
of the cathedral, and then make use
of this which l will give. Soon the
architect was found on the shore of the
river in the presence of the enemy
Quick as lightning, with one hand he
grasped the plan of the cathedral, and
with the other he drew forth the relic
of the True Cross, which the priest
had given him. II am conquered

A deep sigh escaped him. "Will
you not sell that plan?" he said to the
unknown. Il will pay you any price
you wish. will give you all own"
II will give it to you," replied the old
man; "the building which you will
raise will be the object of envy and
despair to all your successors; your
work will excite the admiration of all
future ages; your name will be praised
throughout the whole world; besides,
you will have riches and honors show
cred on you, your life will be consid-
cred as most happy, your desires will
be fulfilled. In exchange for all this
shall want only your SOUL"
At the last sentence the architect
trembled. He knew the old man was
the devil. who Immediately disap-
peared. Going back to his humble
dwelling, the architect was seized
with a fever. Sleep fed from his eyes.
A thousand fantastic thoughts
pressed upon his brain. The tempta-

model, but he resisted it.
