that the working people and soldiers
families of the Allied Countries are
upon a much lower average income
than our own people. The average
wage is not over $40 per week The
government allowance to the average
soldiers family is considerably less
than this. American bacon at 500 per
pound Is very difficult to them. Their
governments have found it necessary
to sell our breadstuffs at a great loss
in order to help the people out On
the other hand the higher wage level

@Europs Is Deeply Grateful" Hoovss.
The only real difficulty in the Uni
ted States is sugar. and that is .
shortage that cannot be helped. We
cannot take ships from carrying our
Army or Allies bread and send them
to the East Indies to fetch US candy
and sweet drinks. and we will simply
have to divide the West Indian sugar
with the Allies and put up with what
we have. There is. even then, enough
sugar for the essential uses for every
one, and much more than our friends
In Europe have.
Since ! have been away have been
thanked time and again for what the
American people have done In food
during the past year. The men, vo-
men and children of the Allied Com-
tries at meetings and gatherings OF
all descriptions expressed heartfelt
appreciation for the sacrifices we
have made which have meant to them
their daily bread during last year.
They universally express amazement
at It's accomplishment on voluntary
basis. / have some many thousands
OF letters from children which l am
asked to distribute TO children in Am

came to them. have replied to all
these demonstrations, and believe the
American people will support the at
titude, that any expressions OF this
kind are unnecessary; that this war
In part belongs to US and that effort
In food production and saving by our
people is but q part OF our job against
a common foe.

will provide the enlarged demands for
next year.

When wheat is to be stored on
farms, special care should be taken 70
clean the granary thoroughly and
avoid mixing the new crop with old
grain A clear statement entitled The
Plan of Wheat Flour Control for the
1918 Wheat Crop" has been prepared
by the Food Administration and has
already received wide circulation
through the press, oflcial channels
and the grain trade. It IL now in the
form OF an eight-pags pamphlet which
may be secured BY persons having
difficulty in marketing their wheat In
addition to discussion of the general
plan, the pamphlet contains list of
the primary markets with fair prices,
gives directions for shipping wheat

London, Sept 7.-(By MaiD-Eagle
Hut was crowded as usual the other
night when grizzled veteran in the
uniform of the Second London Scot
tish Regiment made his way to the
desk and asked the "Y" secretary In
charge II there was any one from Bos-
ton in the building. Before he Joined
the colors Sergeant Major J. Ripple
had lived in Boston. and he yearned
for sight Of some one from the New
England metropolis.
Over In one corner OF the room two
young men sat in earnest conversa-
ton. Both had been blinded on the
Marine and one of them, George Arthur
Sugden, had returned from German
prison camp after eight months to
seek his cousin, Vincent Francis Rip
pie, sergeant in the 31st Canadian
Rifles, In which both had enlisted soon
after the war broke out By chance
they had come together under the hos
pitable Y. n. G. A. roof and were bust
ly engaged In having real reunion
when the "Y" man shouted through
q megaphone:
as there any one here from Bos-
ton? A veteran who halls from Bos-
ton wants to see some one from
home"
Here! Here!" came from the cor
ner and two sightless pairs of eyes
eurned toward the voice. And as the
cousins rose to their feet and hating
ly started through the lane made. az
the crowd stepped back, Sergeant
Major Ripple pushed toward them.
There was an expression OF hope In
bis face that the casual observer
would have said could not have been
inspired merely by q desire to see
some one from Boston.
Suddenly that expression Of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
had been looking everywhere for his
son and his nephew.
My soni" he cried, In voice that
shook with emotion. Vincent and
Georsel"
And In moment his great arms
were crushing them to him. There
were cheers, and not few tears, as
room was made in the corner for
three.
Soon the two blind boys, will re-
turn to America. They will go first
to La Sale. New York. where Vincent
was living when he enlisted. sugden
enlisted from East Calgary, Alberta.
But they hailed from Boston, and to
them the Y. M. c. A. has more than
justified its selection as an essential
part Of the military machine. They
announced that any call that may be
made upon their services in connec-
ton with the United War Work cam
paign IN America for money to sup
port the work would not be unheeded.

broadstuffs amounts TO about slx
pounds per week and of meats and
fat to four pounds . week for each
person. A reduction In consumption
OF less than one.half pound per week
per person In each Of these two great
groups Of foods would accomplish
our purpose. We wish to emphasize,
however that we do not want curtail.
ment In the use of milk Tor, children.
Some of our homes by reason of
limited income cannot now provide
more food than they should have to
maintain health In the family. They
cannot rightfully be asked to make
the suggested reduction In consump'
ton. But the great majority OF our
homes can do more than suggested.
We need even greater simplicity of
living than last year amongst all that
section OF the community to whom
foodstuffs are secondary item In
expenditure
We estimate that nearly 5000, 00o
people eat at our public eating places
hotels, restaurants. boarding houses,
clubs. dining cars and so forth. The
food consumption in these places Is
larger than In the average homes.
We are asking the proprietors ana
employees Of these institutions to un-
dertake in many particulars a more
strict program than last year, and we
are confident that they will willingly
do this.
This is not rationing-a thing we
will never have II our people continue
TO support US as In the past. We are
simply making an appeal to the In
telligence in the homes and public
eating places of America to work out
Tor themselves the means and manner
Of saving.
This year as last believe we can
accomplish the necessary ends by
voluntary action of our own people.
The willingness to assume individual
responsibility In this matter by the
vast majority Is one OF the greatest
proofs OF the character and idealism
Of our people. and feel 1t can be con-
stantly relied upon. Our simple
formula for this year Is to further re-
iuce consumption and waste of all
lood We have SO arranged the Inter
national Food Program that, except
tor moderate substitution of other
cereals In bread. 1t will not, we hope,
be necessary to substitute one food
stun for another, nor to resort to
wheatless and meatless days. What
we need Is to reduce directly our
consumption of ALL foodstuffs. lay.
ing especial emphasis on the staples.
The Allies are In need Of all the sur
plus of the great staples that we can
provide.
1t Is necessary that every family IN
he United States study its food
budget and food ways to see II 1t can
not buy less, serve less, return moth
Ing to the kitchen and practice the
gospel of the clean plate.

Mrs. Chef-fOr chef is a fine name

to his dinner in the elevator. He had
sat in it for long time before any

ALIVE TO HIS SHORTCOMINGS
Tolstoy Harsh Critic of Even Petty
Faiings, as Has Been Revealed
in His Diary.

Count Leo Tolstoy in his youth laid
down a large number of rules for his
own guidance, says Every Week. The
first one was this: Fulfill everything
which you have SET yourself" And
the second was: Regard feminine so
ciety as an Inevitable evil of social life,
and, in so far as you can, avoid it,"
His failure to heed his own warnings
filed the pages of his diary with
gloomy record of shortcomings:
March Sth. Yesterday it was late
before l opened my eyes, but eventual
ly | got the better of myself. Then l
wrote (hurriedIy and without reflec-
tion) a letter TO Nikolinka, anG also
one, in the stupid form which l have
now adopted, to the office (self-delus-
ion). My gymnastics did carelessly,
and with too little balancing of myself
against my strength. This failing |
shall term in general prs Fun ption. At
gymnastics'I showed off AVEtfulness).
Also l tried to impart to Kobylin my
candid opinion of myself, (petty van
ity); l went to Volkonsky's without
first finishing what l had to do Qack

sweets; sat up too late; and I told
