Conservation
BY ]. l. FINNEY

According to telegram received at
the Offices of the Federal Food Admin
istration, Mr.. Hoover cables from Eu-
rope that he has not yet had sufficient
time to formulate a defnate program
for food conservation, but Just as soon
as he can conclude his survey Of the sit
uatiOn this information will come. MIR.
Hoover is now busily engaged in con-
ference with representatives. of the
allied governments regarding Shipping
fDancs and organization. BEFORE leav-
ing America Mr.. Hoover arranged for
the dispatch of 100000 tons of food
stutfs and the first of the ships carrying
these supplies has passed Gibraltar on
on its way to Southern Europe.
The message from MIR. Hoover states
that the pressing demand for food on
every hand in Europe is obvious. There
is everywhere an appeal for aid from
the United States. The people are look
ing to this country for the foodstuffs
that will save them:from starvation dur
ing the coming year while processes on
readJustment are going on and plans
can be made for local harvests.
The officials of the Food Administra-
ton here expect to receive at an early
date a definite program from MIR. Hoov-
er upon which an appeal for concrete
savings may be used. 1t is recognized
by the members of the Food Admins
tration the appeal for conservation must
be made now, not as war necessity,
but upon broad humanitarian grounds.
In the future the Food Administ ration
will depend more and more upon volun-
tary cooperation and less and less upon
the enforcement of regulations.
In the meantime and until definite
program can be arranged by Mr.. Hoov-
err and his allied associates the efforts
Of the Food Administration are being
directed toward preparing the people of
America for a full and hearty response
to any requests that may be made.
Every possible agecDy for reaching the
people is being used so that they will
continue tosave, The county food or
CARNATIONS bUilded during the war will
be used to disseminate the propaganda
of the clean plate and avoidance of
waste.

our OF MANY RACES
RED CROSS MAKES one

NNE Of the greatest services which
the Red Cross is performing in
this war is the unlhcation Of the
many races of which America is COM
posed through the Home Service,
which, through It's 10000 committees,
Is looking after the welfare OF the sol
diers' families In every corner Of the
country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
the process has been slow. The war
has accelerated It The Indians Of the
west, the negroes of the south, the ltal-
ians and Eastern Europeans Of oQr in
dustrial centers, the Mexicans Of the
Southwest Armenlans and Swedes and
NQrwegans and japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly in the
war because 1t was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this Is patent 10 those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the italian, who In the
assembly hall Of one of our moblliza-
ton camps was waiting with a group
of his fellows TO take the cath of al
legiance He stepped forward sudden
ly with tears in his eyes and with a
vivid gesture pressed a corner of the
American flag that hung over the desk
In trout Of him to his lips. A group Of
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused Indifference
broke into applause and cheers From
then on these Italians were their
brother Americans.
Such work as this Is valuable not
only for the morale Of the men; II is
binding the nation into one organic
whole as II has never been bound be-
fore. To give concrete expression to
this unity the Red Cross plans through
its Christmas Roll Call, to be held the
week beginning December 16, to in
crease its membership from 22,000,-
600 to the limit Of available member
ship. II wishes to give In this way no
tice to the world that every American,
irrespective Of creed or birth, stands
squarely and uncompromlsIngly for the
principles for which we have been
hghting-that America is one and In
Invisible pledged soIidly for honor and
mercy and good faith.

BED CROSS AIDS
FARMING IN ITALY

Through efforts Of the American
Red Cross scientific farming is now
being taught the younger generation
of Italy, thus eliminating considerable
waste and replacing old-fashioned i'm
plements with modern American-made
machinery.
Schools of agriculture have been es-
tabHshed, and the Department of Civil
Affairs of the American Red Cross,
cooperating with a similar Italian or
ganlzation, known as the "Comltato
per gil 0rfani de Constadinl MORT in
Guerra" has opened school Of farm
ing, conducted by Saleslan Fathers, in
fields just outside the Porta Furba,
one of the historic gateways of Rome.
The boys of the school, all orphans
of peasant soldiers, are given training
in scientific and practical farming, the
object being to strengthen their at
tachment to the soil, also to convert
them into good and intelligent farm
ers. Lectures and classroom instruc-
ton are accompanied by field work
with modern tools under the direct SUI
pervision Of the younger Fathers of
the institution, who work side by side
with the boys in the fields, teaching
and demonstrating.

Faith Must Show Itself.

If the church is salt. then the church
must be different from the world
around it. If the church Is light, then
the church must be unlike those who
have not committed themselves to the
leadership of Christ. When Chris
tians say the same things which un-
believers say, and do the same things
which scoffers do, they cease to be a
leayening force in society. If faith
in Christ is to have any meaning, it
must snow itself in the creation of
new type Of man. A Christian should
have something in him not to be found
in any other human being. Unless he
is more In disposition, aim and con-
duct than those around him, he Is not
giving the world the impulse or guild
ance which humanity is in need Of
Tabernacle Tidings.

Permanent Blind Relief War
Fund

We are asking the earnest eo-opera
ton OF every newspapers and of every
minister in the state in drive we pro-
pose having on Sunday. December Is,
for the Permanent Blind Relief War
Fund for Soldiers and Sailors Of the
Allies.
This organization is under the patron
age of President Wilson, the King and
Queen of England, President Poincsre
and the King and Queen of Belgium,
Its purpose is to care for the blind, to
re-educate, to rehabilitate them eco
nomicslly, TO pension the MANNED and
t. give back in q measure the priceless
gift of sight. All thought of pity or
charity must be eliminated from the
work. 1t is simply one of many obi
gations we owe them.
Six institutions are already in opera
ton in France and England. Our men
will be cared for by our government in
hospital for the blind in Baltimore,
This organization has contributed $780,
900 through the Red Cross to this hos
pltal.
Heretofore the blind have been very
made quately provided for. Thd blind
soldiers and sailors will now not only be
re-educated, but the people must also be
re.educated in their attitude toward
the blind.
The nurses say the horror of blind.
ness is most difficult to combat. The
first step is to make the patient as
comfortable as possible in the hospital
and leave him alone to fight the terrible
battle with blsckness and despair Af-
ter few days they begin to speak to
them and gradually theft courage re-
turns. Just as soon as possible they
are set at some occupation. which
greatly facilitates convaescenee Since
every blind person is an individual
problem, it is easy to see that it re-
quires time, patience and money to set
them once more on the road to indie.
pendence.
Many Of the blinded soldiers are also
hopelessly manned, some having lost
eyes and hands and leg, or both legs,
eyes and hands, they must be provided
with cottages and pensions.
We are asking that every minister in
the state announce from his pulpit that
on December 18th a collection will be
taken for this fund and that the sermon
for Sunday, December 18th, carry this
appeal.
The Governor of Tennessee has been
deeply interested in the blind of our
own stste and his interest easily ex-
tends to all blind. 3

Recently the United States was di-

Bellevue hospital since last Wednes
day, it was learned today
Mr.. Seth M. Miliken of No. 951

He added that he had tried to see her
in Bellevue the day after she went
there, but had been denied access to

said:
ANY one who is a member of the
family, or who can show that he is
Mrs. Thorne's accredited legal repre-
sentative may see her. These are cur
rules. This is a public institution and
we have nothing to conceal"
Mrs. Thorne, as Mary A, Casey of

beauty and brains at Barnard, where
she received degrees of A. B. and M.
A. Last April she gave out long in
