House of Mercy to Hold Annual
Food and Apron Sale Thursday

necessary, for the institution Is con-
cerned particularly with their fu-
ture as citizens. "" 7s
The aprons to be on sale Thurs
day are the work of the girls at the

they serve many purposes. Some
are for maids and buffers, while
others are definitely dainty, being
designed for the young housewife
as she whips up her husbands din
ner.
The food put on sale each year
comes from many famous Washing
ton kitchens. There are "specialties
of the house." which are snapped
up eagerly the moment they are
placed on the table, while requests
are made for some dishes even be-
fore the sale begins.
This year board members have
been saving their supply of sugar
so that there will be no lack Of crisp
peanut brittle, creamy fudge and
delicious frosted cakes-all home
made and sold for the benefit of the
House of Mercy. Then there are
luscious spiced hams, doughnuts
deviled crabs, pies and salads. The
fact that Thursday is maids night
out" also makes the sale especially
popular.
Due to difficulties of transporta-
tion this year, the board announces
- c-s y -

order for the food or aprons. A
special committee will be on hand
to take messages and see that ar.
ticles are delivered.

rived for the annual food and apron

the people assented to the price that
will have to be paid for victory.
They bravely and resolutely have
accepted the new and stringent
pattern Of things to come. What
ever sacrifice is necessary for the
winning of this global war. patriots
will gladly make. One in spirit with
the men in uniform, the men in
overalls have leaped to the task.
Business, big and little, is adjusting
itself to war needs.
One of the tyrants who has been
arrogantly strutting o9er the earth,
clamping his chains upon myriadS,
is John Barleycorn. a tyrant COM
parable with Hitler. He, too, is
shuddering today at the new pros
pect opening up before mankind.
For he is one of the luxuries found
dispensablc. A fit and fighting world
cannot afford him. He costs. too
much in money and in vital human
power. Already the United States
Government has decreed so
per cent cut In the use of alcohol
for the manufacture of liquor. That
is only the beginning Our dizzy
cocktail era Is facing its end.
John Barleycorn's Fate.
On a simple dollars and cents
basis, nation restricted to utmost
economy cannot continue its pres
ent prodigious expense for strong
drink. The billions for booze must
be converted into billions for bombs
and bullets. Everybody who drinks
would be better off without it, and
the sober sense which the war is in
stilling into all of US can perceive
this. Brains are clearer. nerves are
steadier and normal appetites are
better when alcohol is off the DAYS
menu. II will be all to the good

II John Barleycorn shares the fate
that is in store for Hitler.
There Is no doubt that the bodies
and brains and spirit of the race
will emerge In better condition from
the enforced restrictions in living
which the war is imposing upon us.
Probably nothing less drastic than
the present and impending situa-
tion could emancipate society from
its recent thralldom to sense -tittila-
ton.
Going the Pace.
Many persons, for two decades
past, have lived to get a thrill"
They have feverishly pursued the
qualification of the senses: they
have sought most of all to get
a kick" out OF life. They have want
ed to "go places and do things"
They have worshiped the false gods
Of superficial self-indulgence. They
have drunk. they have gambled,
they have f1irted, they have divorced,
they have crowded night clubs and
taprooms and theaters. Artificial
stimulation and stimulation have
been the vogue.
All of the old. tested and simple
virtues, which alone have main
tanned civilization, have been flout-
ed Reticence, refinement, rever-
ence and religion have been thrown
out Of the window. We have gone
the pace" at a cost which we are
only now beginning TO appraise.
Quiet home life, friendly sociability
which kindred spirits, activity in
church and neighborhood life, the
reading of good books and playing
of honely games by the fireSide-
these characteristics of our Amer
ican way have fallen into disuse 10
an alarming extent. Implicit in this
has been a deterioration of moral
fiber that gives concern to every
thoughtful person.
Fighting Fit.
We are now engaged IN war
which will demonstrate whether the
human race is capable Of living on
the high levels of free per-
sonality for everybody, of even
handed justice and privilege for
all men, regardless of race or creed
and of good will and safety every
where. with suStenance for all and
suffering for none. In other words
this is quest for the divine rights
/ Of the soul of man. Within that
large effort lie liberty and self-eX-
preston for every nation.
Our armies are being trained up
to the level Of fighting fitness
Bodies and spirits are being pre-
pared for the great ordeal. One
Of the foes that must be fought
before ever soldiers or sailors see
the enemy who awaits them is
the habit Of strong drink, always q
menace to the military man. Eff
forts are being made to abolish
the sale OF strong drink in or near
camps, American Wsrships have in
stalled soda fountains. A recent
magazine. article upon life aboard
an aircraft carrier pictured the
aviators as using only soft drinks;
their calling will not permit the
dulling Of the keen edge of alert
ness by alcohol.
For the fighting fitness of all of
us, IN the new era into which We
have been thrown by the war, there
is need that life be stripped down
to only those essentials which make
up efficiency, and liquor is surely
not one of these.

to move into their kitchens. to do

will disappear from tables. Men
