PUSH periods on transportation lines are
AZ caused when passengers find it necessary to
use the service at the same time. Many people,
who can do SO conveniently, use the lines at
other times as much as possible.

There are also rush periods in telephone Offices.
They are not SO evident to the public because
those responsible for supplying service work in
central offices behind the scenes. From 9 to II
comes the morning peak" of the load which
follows the arrival of business men at their
offices. At the same time their wives at home
are shopping by telephone or making appoint
ments. From 5 to s comes the evening peak
or social hour.

Subscribers can assist greatly in making tele-
phone service satisfactory by making calls when
ever possible at other times than during rush
hours. This enables us to handle the peak
with the greatest possible promptness.

The "Hog Table"

Would you sit at the hog table"
if you were at one of the great
Army camps?
With the world war have come new
developm ents. 1t is not enough fc,
the soldier man now to learn the
use of the bayonet, to master the
art of going over the top in the
trenches, to cultivate a spick-and
span appearance and IN alert but
respectful manner at all times and
finally to go away to France to fight.
He must do even more by saving
foodstuffs to send across the seas to
the armies and the Allies. That
means, principally, that he must
avoid waste.
In certain camps the rules u1 saw
ing are strictly enforced. The table
manners of each man are noted. 1t
is a matter of patriotic pride to see
how little waste of food goes on.
But there are greedy ones. men
whose "eyes are bigger than their
stomachs," who will heap their plates
with more than they are able to eat.
What is left is an absolute waste.
So, after due warning and remon-
STRANGE, as a disciplinary measure,
the offenders are grouped at one ta-
BILE, to the scorn of their fellow war
riors. This is known as the hog
table"

4 Quicker Victory

The present food problem in a nut
shell is a matter of ships. The AL
lies now have to be fed in large
measure from across seas. There
seem to be several markets upon
which they could draw-Australia
the East. South America, the United
States and Canada.
"Why, then" complain the un-
thinking, TASK the people of the
United States and Canada to upset
their eating habits of years, to
scrimp and save. if Australia's
wharves are loaded with food stores
waiting to be transported to the war
ridden territories?"
This is the answer: 1t takes a
ship three times as long to carry
food from Australia and twice as
long from South American ports, to
say nothing of added exposure to the
dangers of the submarine. The
North Atlantic lane is both safer and
shorter.
From North America, in the time
it takes to go from Buenos Ayres to
London, the same ship could take
cargo or 1000 across, come Dack anu
take a load of soldiers and munitions
over. This amounts to the same
thing as building another ship.
The old adage of "a penny saved is
a penny earned" is true of ships, as
we'll as of money. America is speed
ing up her shipbuilding with all
possible haste. But, meantime, If we
make one ship do the work of two,
we have doubled our chance of vic
tory.
Every ship we build is needed to
replace one that has been lost or
increase our Army at the front. So
it behooves us to save ships as well
as to build them.
Every particle of food, therefore
that IAN possibly be spared must be
sent from America with the marginal
amount drawn from the more remote
places. If next year we could pro-
vide the whole of the Allied food ne
cessites, we would save hundreds OF
thousands of tons of shipping.
Saving food means saving ships.
Saving ships means more soldiers
more guns and more food over there.
And these mean quicker victory.

as that of April.

Advice to the LOvelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
NOTHING WRONG AT ALL!

Dear Miss Fairfax: / am in the
twenties and regard my suitors in a
humorous way. / can never take
them seriously. and always discour-
age intimacy and affection. but am
satisfied with companionship. In
spite of this / feel that wifehood and
motherhood is the greatest blessing
Is something wrong with me? l do
not understand myself at all.
r. M. G.
The old solution applies to you, my
dear-you probably have not met
"the right man" yet, that is all.
There is nothing to deplore in a
lesson of humor, the dignity that dis
courages light lovemaking and the
common sense that reaches out for
friendly companionship. The reason
you long some day to have a child of
your own is because you are normal
and healthy and fine and true. Don't
worry about yourself for another
minute. Go on having good friends
and seeking comradeship in place of
Irritation. When love comes into your
life you will be ready for it, you will
know what to do with it-never fear.

for the next step, whatever it may
be.
To read his letter gives all the
effect of a bright winters day, with
the sunshine glistcning over fields of
white, and fresh, revivifying breeze
blowing across the uplands. And
one feels that underneath the sea-
sons snowy mantle the seeds are
stirring in the brown earth and the
little sprouts pushing upward eter-
nally green.
And l cannot help think that if
these four types I have pictured were
shaken up in a bag and made into
one, what a/ripe ard rare and capa-
BILE and tender and wonderful COM
posite that would be.
There's a lot of good in human
nature, after all.

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c; or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches. eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

NEW BARRACKS At THE

The capacity of the Missouri Mill
tary Academy has already been con-
tracted for by students for the COM
ing year, and the management at
present are seriously considering the
erection of another building.
They find that with little trouble
they can procure sufficient students to
fill another barracks, and are at pres
ent working on plans for the erection
Of a building either on the campus or
in that vicinity. Students from ali
parts of the country are showing a
determined effort to procure accom-
modations at the Missouri Military
Academy.
The record of the institution in the
last few years has advertised it gen.
orally throughout the country, and
aroused interest among the most de
sirable class of boys. Just what will
be done regarding the new barracks
is at this time undetermined, but like
