Gently but firmly .roll up your aleoves and go out In the Ultchcn and do your own tvorlc. This Is the newest recipe concocted for tho American woman's patriotism. It is man-made and based on tho simple but forceful plea that your country needs you In your kitchen and your mald-of-alMvork In Its Industrial workshops. Tho gentleman who Is responsible for this now economic formula was not fool ing when ho gave It. He spoko ofllclallj through tho columns of tho financial fac tion of a dally newspaper, and he has su many figures to back up his accusations that It makes you lt and wonder a while before you have the nerve to go back to your knlttin. AFTER recovering from u, ilietoricul clap In tho face which read, "For mis applied patriotism thero is probably noth ing in America today comparable to this knitting," I went on to read and tried to ,dlgest without a qualm the following: '"Tho American women nro knitting as the British women never knit. Some are aid to knit In bed. "One small knitting machine can do the work of one hundred women." "In New York city alono the women ho knit 60 earnestly and patriotically could savo from $60,000 to $100,000 a year If theyTUlllzed their talents in correcting waste." "A maid not having to paj the bills usually is Indifferent about paving food, soap, light or anything clso for which her employer spends money." "Cut down tho house servant force of Now York one-half and thero would be . money saving of $60,000 a day $21, OQ,000 a year. Put those 30,000 servants at productive labor and there would bo a greater gain to America." TTUIESE statements are preheated tin- colored.

Tho crux of the matter, however, seems to bo this: Today housemaids are not pro ducers. America urgently needs pro ducers in her manufacturing industries. Today women who knit arc producers the Government seems very anxious to get hold of her particular product in spito of all that has been said. Weighing everything in the b.ilance. tho woman who knits by hand, tho small machine that Is said to be ablo to do her work one hundredfold, tho hcrvant who wastes and who mlgrht if lior mistress did her own work and If she proved capablo be released to Industry What and who ii the most use lo the Government'.'

As j-ou are only seventeen and olghtccn It would be far better to be good friends and Icavo love out of the question for tho present. As for saying yes when you do not love him you would be making a very grave mis take. There are too manj hard places to cross together In matrimony to rlslc entering Into that state unless thero Is a background of a strong lovo nnd a spirit of give and take. In marriage both much bo willing to give In In small things where principle Is not in volved If tho llfo together is to be a happy one.

He also attends the bridegroom when he Is dressing to leave on his wedding trip and carries the bags to tho mo.tor or carriage, and is supposed as far as possible to dofcu! tho newly wedded pair from rlco and, old shoes, etc. He Is responsible for his own clothes un less the bridegroom Insists on providing them, but that would be a matter entirely between the two men, Thero aro no ex penses attached to the office other than the usual expense of giving a wedding present to an intimate friend.

In the fol lowing cases cane sugar must either bo wholly discarded or used only in very minute quantities - Iljperacidltj . hsperpcpsla lor hj-per-hydrochlorla). in which an excess of acid is formed by the stomach Cane sugar greatly aggravates this condition, usually producing pain, distress, heartburn, soro ness In the mouth and sometimes an attach of gastritis often accompanied by vomit ing and sovcro headache Tatarrh of tho iitomach, or chronlo gas tritis, is present In a largo proportion of tho cases of chronic gastric disease. 3lany of the cases result from tho freo uso of cane sugar, and hence aro aggravated by Its uso and cannot bo cured without dis carding this artlclo from the bill of faro. Intestinal catarrh is usually simply the extension of catarrh of tho stomach, and is alvvajs aggravated by tho use of cane sugar and other Irritants Chronic diarrhea is often the result of the freo uso of confectionery and bugar in Its various forms and cannot bo cured unless this Irritating food sub3tauco Is discarded. In cases of dilatation of the stomach cane sugar gives rise lo irritating products and often develops enormous quHntltiea of gas, whereby tho dilated stomach Is still further distended. In diabetes the p ttient has lost his power to oxidize or burn up tugar, nenco must scrupulously avoid cane sugar. Gout, chronic rheumatism, nervous head ache, many forms of neurasthenia, eczema, nnd other forms of skin disease, apoplexy, and other chronic diseases rcquiro cntlro abstinence from the use of cano sugar' or its restriction to the very smallest amount. In gastric ulcer cane sugar gives severo pain nt onco and greatly aggravates tho patient's sufferings. Its use must be wholly discarded. In tho ca30 of Infants and children, there can bo no doubt that cane sugar Is n common cause of serious disease. Their digestive organs aro naturally more sensi tive to injury than those of adults. The American peoplo as a nation eat far too much sugar than is healthful.
