NATIONAL THRIFT PARTNER-WAR ECONOMY BYfgSga
ENGLISHWOMAN SHOWS HOW WAR ECONOMY PROBLEM
WAS MET AND SOLVED BY MEMBERS OF HER SEX
Miss Florence Bird, of
Hertfordshire, Portrays
Methods by Which Diffi
culties Were Conquered
Many Practical Forms of
Saving in the Household
Explained by One Who
Proved Their Value
TO THU average American uhiimii
litt heelnnlng to open her eyes to the
fact that war means an endless round
.ii in;. petty sacrifice, nil outline
of the l.'ngllsh woman's wartime econ
omy becomes of ifltal Interest, We hear
many Inrplrlng stories of the women who
ha lacked their front doors ami gone
forth lo war Industry. Hut still thete
must he homes In England, How has
war made Itself felt In them?
The RvnNlNii I'unt.in l.nnimn Is
pleased lo print tho nutllne appearing
below that goes Into thli matter It
was written by an i:ngIlshwomnn. Miss
Florence Bird, of Uoys'on, lli-rtfonl-slilte,
Knglaml. .Mis Bird has been
prominently Identified with wnnien'a wart
work In her country since the war began,
She otganlzed and headed a committee
of tho Women's Itescno Corps that ar-l
rnnged for tho moving of an entlro town '
in me event of the bombardment of the
Kngllsh coast by the enemy It Is In
teresting to Know the manuscript of this
compact Utile article came straight from
the British Isles tied with a bit of white
yum to aavn the paper clip!
WOMIIN SOtA'K ntOULi:.M
Miss Bird writes:
No general scheme from outside, fioin
the food controller downward, would
sufllcc; detail was Imperative, certainly
for us women, and to be dealt Willi and
mastered without inoro ado. In its ap
plication to every one tho situation was
new for this generation ; there was no
Precedent to fall back upon; we simply
learned as we went along, starting from
the home. To Instance an upper middle
class home, tho heaviest Items of house
hold expense arc these:
(1) Coal, 2) Food. (3) Laundry.
How reduce on these?
First. Coal. Use up small coal ami
dust hy sprinkling upon them otio table
spoonful of I'ommon salt dissolved In
one-half pint of water (to every scuttle
of coal), 'nils binds the (oaldust and
gives good heat.
Allow no laic baths dependent upon
the kitchen fire. During summer nlm at
one or two uncooked meals per week, and
cold suppers.
t.'rlddle cooking, for cakes. Is economi
cal, since no oen-heatlng Is required;
the top of the fire, a gas-ring, or paraffin
stove, will supply the necessary heat.
Second. Food must ho plainly cooked ;
aide dishes few; quality lather than
quantity the lule.
Margarine to bo used for cooking, not
butter. Fewer sweet bailees. .No alco
holic drinks.
If soup Is served before meat, less nf
the latter will be taken. Bread waste
to bo controlled. Potatoes boiled In their
skins retain their full food vuluc.
All vegetable parings, ot onions (but
not the outermost of theie), turnips, cjr
rots, potatoes and young gieen-pea pods,
ran be turned to nccouut. Boiled down,
they make a good foundation for soups,
and with the addition of lentils or even
rice, and eaten with bread, conxtltulo a
nourishing, cheap dish for the poor. In
the opinion of Doctor Hutchison, the food
uuthorlty, the gieat value of skimmed
milk In the dietary of those to whom
economy Is of Importance cannot be over
estimated. Not suitable for Infants, it
Is yet highly nutritious for older clilldien
and adults, and contains all the bod)
building material ot the whole milk
sugar and salts, minus only its fat. In
hody-bulldlng material, one pint of
skimmed milk Is equal to one-quarter of
a pound of meat.
Many people find It economical to
make their own bread, and wheaten flour
may be eked out with barley Hour, maize
flour, rice flour or oatmeal
Latterly sugar shortage has further
complicated tho food question, but among
substitutes condensed milk will effec
tually sweeten porridge, cofTee, cocoa,
etc., milk puddings; and less fresh milk
need be added.
In Jam-maldng, run honey Is an econ
omy, one pound of It doing the work ot
three pounds of sugar. Another recipe
said lo be successful Is one teajpoonful
of salt (a preservative) to every four
pounds of Jam. This reduces the quan
tity of sugar required.
To' glvo an exhaustive list of food
economies would be Impossible. The
above Is suggested merely.
It would be helpful to every house-

wife to keep n book In which she enters
practical war economies properly ar
ranged, tny, In alphabetical order, and
headed. Newspapers often contain sug
gestions and to Insert illpptngs taves
time. She would realize that what
seem negligible Items on would give
a big sum total.
Laundry. Large tablecloths are un
necessary ; tho size of tho table Is suffi
cient. If usage permit and there are no
stains, tablecloths may be damped down
and Ironed at end of the fltst week and
thus made to last a fortnight.
All sliott window blinds, toilet covers,
afternoon teacloths, hlouicd laces and
tight things may bo laundered nt home,
as well ns kitchen cloths, dusters, etc.
Soft collars may often bo worn In
place of stiff ones, but moil things can
be starched with the water rice Is boiled
In The things must be first dried and
the rice-water used before It Is cold. Ill
IhiKlatnl laundry prices have gone up 23
per cent.
Small household economies ate end
less. To single nut 11 few:
First. Bars of so.ui should he cut Into
takes and these stacked. In this forml
they dry more quickly If put for an hour
or two on the kitchen rack. Soap when
matured lasts longer and does Its ivork
better.
Second. Soap must not bo thrown Into
the pall when scrubbing floors, etc.
Third. Delicate china, when not
greasy, Is better washed without soap or
soda ; any color or design Is not Im
proved by these.
Fourth. Spills made fiom old letters
save matches, whlih ate now three times
what they were befote the war, and will,
"they say," In the near future, bo 1II1II
cult to get.
Fifth. A night light will orten suffice
to go to bed by. and obviate the danger
of being lined for showing too much
light !
Sixth. Paper Is scaice, and for short
notes letter c.itd.s ate useful, saving of
envelopes and private. In my house all
paper is sorted and stored. In some
places vans collect dally. My tins are
also kept, as of possible use to Oovern
ment. Seven. All odds and ends of soft
while mateilul may be washed, Ironed,
cut very small and put Into clean, thin
covers for splint pad?, or to make email
pillows for a wounded limb to rest upon.

As regards economy In dress, this can
be disposed of in few words. According
to occupation, abstain from what Is
unnecessary. Fitness, above all In war
time, has an attraction of its own.
Garden economies supplement those of
the household, and may be dealt with
sketch lly.
First. If the wasteplpe from the bath I
bo fitted with an arm to which a tap Is
attached, soapy water, with Its stimulat
ing properties, can be drawn off for the
garden, a cap being screwed to the end
ot the wasteplpe while drawing from
the tap.

part of the year a deeply dug pit wi'l
contain all tho vegetable lcfusc of the
garden with spi Inkling nf soil, and all
tho us'.dun of bonfires. In summer this
becomes a marrow bed. Mine, Ihls
season, has nqulred virtually no
mnnuie, only a small amount of patent
fond, Tho mat tow plants are strong,
healthy and productive. Marrow time
past, tho pit Is thoroughly dug over and
tho contents of It, If sufficiently matured,
used for the benefit ot the garden. Then
wo begin filling It up again. Being he
low the level of the ground, there Is no
unslghtllnesa about It.
Third. It has proved profitable, and
no great trouble, to save the large
vegetable seeds, such as peas and beans,
that provided a good harvest last year;
this year there was a scarcity of them
In tho market.
Fourth. Broad beans, after the first
crop, may be cut down by half when
they How er again and produce a second
cron.
Fifth. I am growing sugar-beet, one
or two tows. Boiled to n pulp and added
to slewed fruit or' jam less fruit Is
needed, and no sugar with very sweet
Jfrults (a little only with others), pin-
vlded that tho jam Is well boiled and
not kept too long. The proportion of
pulp to fruit varies from one-half to two
thirds. Tho mixture must lie oiled until
It sets and then tied down while hot and
made perfectly airtight, or the Jam will
not keep, Sugar-beet. If stored until Hie
following year, becomes richer In sugar
Sixth. Fruit bottling without sugar Is
being extensively done and with fruit,
vegetables and grain thousands of addi
tional acres are now under cultivation
It was Interesting In springtime, when
going from one part of tho country to
another, to set- what numberless allot
ments had snruug Into being even nil
along the rallwavs. and were worked by
white-headed men mid women, as well as
th merest children.
Seventh. Medicinal heibs have been
collected : common ones, like foxglove
and dandelion (digitalis and taraxacum)
and herb gardens ale talked of, possibly
have been stalled.
Ill Infant life economy murh Is being
done. We are building up the taco to
defeat that aich-lconoclast, the Hun. nt
home and abroad.
At least the great war more and more
develops In us adaptability and resource
fulness, while It shows up badly our
previous Ignorance and blind waste we
knew not nt all what stuff we wire

THK secret nf fatigue Is to bo 'fund In

of matter that forms the unfit of the

Tho nerve cell that has used up I
store of energy so that I s outpi t Is
verv small, or ba ceased "'t0Selr,er;
Is in 11 state of partial or complete ex
haiistlon, . . . .,,.
When fatigue Is the result of won.,
rert Is demanded. If one continues to
work when tired a wasteful ex end
turn of energy occurs. A (lerman phjsl-
an L. Zuiita, showed a few years age
that' when one Is fatigued the amount
oenergv required for tho performance
of a given task Is greatly Increased,
For example, If one walking at the
rate of three miles an hour expends
seventy-live units of energy for each
mile when fresh, after walking for
some I lino and becoming wary tlu
energv expended per nine "" -
ty ca'loiles, or even more ,
The explanation of Ihls Increased en-1
orgy expenditure Is found m u. "
that when one becomes tired he uses

a nerve center known as the fatigue
center' When work Is performed pols
oiih accumulate In the tissues, and when
the poisons have accumulated to n. suf
ficient degree they excite the fatigue
center and thus call attention to the
fact that the body requires rest, rlicsc
products nre known as fatigue poisons.
I'roper rest, especially If accompanied
by sleep, quickly relieves fatigue by giv
ing the blood nn opportunity to wash
out poisons from the tissues and also the
liver nnd kidneys to destroy and remove
them.
The poisons that give rise to chronic
fatigue are the result of the putrefac
tion of undigested and unused foodstuffs
In the colon, and particularly undi
gested ifmnaiits of flesh food. Tills ex
plains why one feels languid and tired
when toiistlpnted, even when ho has not
worked It Is also the cause of tho great
exhaustion and weakness In a person
sufJVrlng from diarrhea, or looeness of
Hie bowels.
Neurasthenic are often continually
tiled, frequently to the point ot exhaus
tion when they have done no work. In
such cases thn fatigue Is due to the
poisons resulting from chronic colitis or
other Infections nf the colon.
Constipation Is a much more common
cause of fatigue than Is overwork. Many
neurasthenic business men Imagine that
they are being worn out by buslnes
caies and labors, because they are tired,
wheieas the real cause of exhaustion la
an overloaded condition of the colon.
