Thinking of Her Loss.

She was thinking Her eyes looked
over the hundreds of thousands of
square miles of war zone, slashed
with trenches, pitted and pockmarked
hy shells. She sees where they fell,
No tears are in her eyes. Long ago
the hurt had reached the point where
tears dry up Row upon row, line
upon line, mile upon mile white
painted wooden crosses mark their
graves. For the most part they were
her youngest born, her most beloved
who dug deep in the soil to sleep for
ever in the dark dugouts.
AS they fell bleeding from steel and
lead. choking from gas, writhing in
agony from fire, they proved in the dy-
ing word they spoke that they were
mere boys, as they had shown in their
fighting that they were brave men. To
the peoples they intrusted their mes
sage, and the red poppes remember
the last word of EurOpes dying sons,
who went out into the great beyond
with this last word on their lips,
"IOther."
She has finished counting; an ache
shoulders through her bent body. she
signs and sobs. "Seven and half mil
lion of my sons are dead"
Her thoughts turn to the living, her
nrms open to receive them, she holds
them TO her heart They have come,
but how?
Some with sight'ess eyes. doomed 70

ending darkness a night without stars
or moon; sunless, black. hopeless days.
and these. too, young men in the very
morning of their day.
Others sentenced to slence-deaf
and dumb Never again will she hear
their voices nor will they hear hers.
Still others In wheel chairs, dwarfed,
Iegless.
More hobbling on crutches limpng
on canes.
Some with empty sleeves.
Many with great scars, where once
was handsome face.

SOAP SUBSTITUTES FAVORED
Soapbark, Starch Water or Bran Wa
ter Are Not Likely to Injure
Delicate Colors.

When the action Of soap is likely TO
injure a delicate color, use soapbark,
starch water, or bfan water advise
home economics specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Soapbark, although not a soap. when
heated in water will form Suds. To
prepare it for use, boil for 10 minutes
a cup of the bark with ! quart of
water; then cool and strain the liquid.
The "soapy" water may be used full
strength for spongng, or diluted for
washing; half Of this amount is
enough for one-haf tubful of water.
Since the liquid is brownish IL should
be used only on dark-colored goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made by adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water in.
which rice has been boiled. If II is
not discolored. may be used instead.
If il is not desirable TO have the ma
terlal starcbed slightly. 1t must be
rinsed in salt water.
Bran water. made In the same way
as soapbark solution. is useful with
colors that are likely to fade II does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water

INDIVIDUALS DIFFER
ON FOOD MATERIALS
Each Person Should Experiment
With Himself.
Food Specialists Say Too Much Is as
Bad as Too Little-Economical to
avoid Expensive Cuts Of
Meats and Fruits.

AS the habits and conditions of indi-
eiduals differ, so, too, their needs for
nourishment differ, and their food
should be adapted 10 their particular
requirements. Each person should
learn by experience what kinds of
food yield him nourishment with the
least discomfort, and should avoid
those which DO not agree with him.
Too much food is as bad as too lit
tie, and occasions a waste of energy
and strength in the body as well as
n waste of nutritive material, say
food specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. While in
the. case of some foods as purchased,
notably meats, some waste is un-
avoidable. the pecuniary loss can be
diminished, both by buying those kinds
In which there is the least waste, and
by utilizing more carefully than IS
ordinarily done portions of what rs
usually classed as refuse. Much OF
the waste may be avoided by careful
planning so as to provide a comfort
able and appetizing meal in sufficient
amount, but without excess.
If strict economy is necessary, the
dearest cuts of meat and the more eX-
pensive fruits and vegetables should
he avoided. With reasonable care IN
cooking and serving a pleasing ana
varied diet can be furnished at mod
crate cost. 1t should not be forgotten
that the real cheapness or dearnesS
of a food material depends not on'y
on its market price, but also on tne
cost of its digestible nutrients II
should always be remembered that
"the ideal diet is that combination OF
foods wolch. while imposing the least
burden on the body, supplies It WIN
exactly sufficient material to meet It's
wants" and that any disregard Of such
standard must inevitably prevent
the hest development Of our powers.
