Dispatches from Paris tell of the opening by the
French of chain of Paris restaurants which
will to the public not less than 100000 meals each
day.
The food is to be scientifically prepared so that the
calory content of the days meals will be scientifically pro-
portioned to the needs of the human body.
The price Of the three meals is to be 80 cents
But the most interesting and significant thing about
the proposition is that practically all of the food to be used
In these restaurants from America
Now the man or woman who would under present con-
dons try to live in American restaurant on 80 cents
day would be-we, don't like to characterize him.
The question that to PROFOUND itself mistakenly
is this:
How can the French government get American food
from America to France paying all the freight bills
and distribute at the rate of three square meals day
for 80 cents? 49,
And If the French government do it. for 80 cents
Why should the quantity of food cost
much more?
II collective bargaining is good aoay to settle the
price Of labor Why isn't it good to settle the price
of eats?

LONE SOLDIER KALTS
ADVANCE OF GERMANS
Planted Machine Gun in Abandoned
Tank and Moved Down Huns
Like Hay Before Sickle.

There IS q regular soldier still IN
France who is going to get the Con
gressional Medal Of Honor. To him
was given the supreme honor OF
breaking up a German attack all by
himself, an attack, if it had been sue
cessful, that would have decided the
fortunes Of the battle in favor OF the
Hun.
And be it noted that he could have
very well said to himself on that oc-
casion that he "could not afford" to
remain where he was, target for the
whole German army.
He could have very easily placed
himself in the attitude some people
have taken toward the Liberty loans
and the War Savings campaign. He
was just an American army corporal
a Yankee non-com, but he didn't try
to shirk any responsibility.
It happened near Verdun, in tho ~.
day battle Of the Argonne. The regt'
ment to which the corporal belonged
was pretty badly shot up. The Huns
had thrown out smoke screens and
were attacking the Americans hard.
The lone soldier was falling back
with the others when he sighted dis
abled French tank and German ma
chine gun. He planted that Hun
rapid firer in the French tank and got
busy. From his station he command
ed a hill top over which the Boche
must advance. AS they came on IN
battalion formation he swept them
down" to use his own words, like nay
in front Of a sickle"
He had no one with him to feed
that unfamiliar machine gun, remem'
Der. The water jacket on the gun
boiled dry from the stream OF bullets
that kept squirting into the German
masses. He emptied his canteen OF
water into the jacket and cooled II
off a bit, and went methodically to
work again, killing Germans. All tho
time he was firing German cartridges
collected from behind the tank.
He was on the job and doing Wnat
he had been trained to do, and what
America sent him over to do. Final
" the Huns called for barrage to
get that lone gunner in the smashed
tank. They sent over something like
200 six-inch shells in an effort to put
him and that gun out OF action
'eNone landed" he reports.
That sort Of American spirit u
needed now to make the coming gen.
Grafton a prosperous and thrifty one'
To make America solid before the
world for all time to come, each ono
Of Us must stand his ground" and "a
his part In this work Of reconstruo
tion.
We can no more eford to ignore the
nrinciples of thrift and saving and the
splendid opportunity our government
offers for saving and Investment, than
could the soldiers Of America On

HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS
HELP TO SAVE MONEY
Valuable Plan Described In Folder

System Makes Wise Spend
ing a Certainty.

Household budgets with accounting
columns attached are now on hand
to be distributed to progressive Wo-
men who desire to know where the
money goes in order to stay it's going.
Just as balancing ones meals is con-
ductive to the physical well-belng OF
the family, so apportioning the month
" income to suit the monthly expen-
ditures makes a household healthier
financially, it is claimed by experts in
home economics.
Instead Of the dreaded conference
st the end Of each month when hus-
band and wife rack their brains to
know where all the dollars have gone,
IN neat little figures totaled at the
bottom Of long columns one finds just
tow much went for food. for clothing,
Cor rent, for recreation, for charity,
for doctors bills. And best OF all,
there is the savings column which re-
cords what is left for the education
OF the boy and girl or for the wash
ing machine and vacuum cleaner
which will eliminate so many weary
hours.
From the weman's division comes
encouraging news that women OF the
Fifth Federal Reserve District are IN
rapidly increasing numbers making
known their desire to place the con-
duct Of the household on business
basis. The day has come, it Is claim
cd. when the housewife sees the fam
Nv income as a whole, and when Upon
her shoulders is placed an equal
share with her husband OF the re-
sponsibility OF making the family In
come provide for the family needs.
The budget is based T" annual IN
comes ranging from 5000 to $4,000.
It is prepared for the average family
and since, after all, there Is no aver
aee family. the items must be consla-
cred flexible, to be bent to the l7dl-
yidual need. An estimate has been
made of the amounts Of money which
should be spent for thu necessities
