' Out West" conditions, as w knew ! them a generation ago, prevailed. The usages of the fathers hud been allowed to slip away. The Jews who : v ere dealing with the disturbed con- j tilt ions of the old city had been so 1 bent upon "practical" questions that they had permitted the Institutions fur which Jerusalem peculiarly stood t i lapse; while they borrowed freely f ' the laxer customs of the surround ing people. Amid an environment largely heathen, the sons of promise forgot "their inheritance.

Big Men For Hord Times Something like the hard senso of j ehemiah is needed, in this time or j -ansformation, and obscuration of ] loral values, to save to civilization' s Christian Sabbath. With a sud pnness for which most of us were ot prepared, our very life, as rcpre- ; ;nted by our choicest young men. as been thrust into the midst of | idical conditions, and Into contact I ith environment wholly different •om those amid which they were •and. All the old order is being lallenged. There are no sanctities eyond the pale of the question , ark In a soldier's life little is; iken for granted, except military , ity The conventional world of tens t thousands of young soldiers is dling about their ears. It is not isy for them, in this crash of con >ntionaliti"s, to distinguish between ie essential and the nonessential. Therefore the compulsion is strong ?on all who see clearly and think inely to save the tested integrities, ►cial and personal. Some lessons hich the world has been long In arning should not be. forgotten in j lis day when men go to war for j lirtual values. While we fight for Serty and Justice and democracy, . e should not become blind to the rces which underlie these, and have , ade them realities in the history j the race.

The men whose religion is perfunctory, und acquired, like a suit of clothes, in a theological shop, can have small part In this rennalssnnce. Illiberal and Intolerant folk, whoso creed is a sot of rules ond negations, are like wise unfitted for this greatest ot tasks Imposed by the war. It needs cosmopolitan men, of a charity like unto that of Christ, and with u meas ure of His own passion for right eousness, and able to see beneath the overlay of the centuries the es sential principle, to nrouse the world to an appreciation of the heroic pro portions of the religious task that lies before the Church to-day. Clearly, we cannot have back the Puritan Sabbath. Nor do we want It. It savored more of oldJohn Milton than of the Bible. It was a darksome thing, with little of the sweetness and joy of even the Jewish Sabbath about it. Who can tell the tale ot the children whose lives have been shrouded by the gloom of this un scrlptural institution, with its heaped up rabbinical rules, all imposed in the name of the Lord who broke old bondages on that day of Resurrec tion. The Sabbath of infinite restric tions Is gone. , But in its stead we do not want a Sabbath that is a mere holiday. For whac in only a holiday far some is like!;- become a workday for all. Brlsaths has learned, during the stress of war. that it is economically un sound to attempt to increase a manu factured output by seven-day-a-week labor. The principle of a Sabbath was written in the nature of man long before it wis written on tables of stone. The sacred first law of a rest day underlies ail true Sabbath lieeping. , If it may not be a mere holiday, it surely must be a holy day, a day with a divine stamp upon it; a day which comes whispering softly, like a summer breeze, "I am not like other days."

Mrs. A. A. Kshner presided and Professor Charles H. Hawaii de scribed the food situation, and gave an unulysit) of the activities which had been suggested to promote the saving of food. He then told of 'he relative merits of the ordinary foods. He contended that most people oat too much, and that in the choice ot' their menus they disregarded the necessary combinations, eating too much of some things which they lik ed and disregarding other things which were essential to the health of the body. He mentioned some of the most nutritious foods which are tlio cheapest on the market, and which should be used now In the effort to conserve food. He gave government data on the relative value of some kinds of fopd as follows: One package of prepared cereal Hakes contains 575 calories,while one package of rolled oats contains 1,- 800 calories; one can of lima beans contains 350 calories and one pound of dried lima beans, 1,200; one pound of steak contains only 500 -alories, as compared with one pound of cheese, which has 2,000; one quart of oysters has only 450 calories, as compared with one quart of milk, which has 2,000. Coffee, ho said, had no nutritive value tft all, v.'hile one pound of cocoa contains 3,000 calories. A pint of pickles has only 100 calories, while a pound of candy has 1,750. One dozen of eggs have 950 calories, while a pound and a quarter of bacon has 2,000 calor ies. Mr. Lawall said that of all the foods that whichcontained most of the necessary constituents and was the cheapest by comparison on the market was milk, and next to milk all the other dairy dishes. Mrs. Lawall spoke at some length of the need of every woman feeling the responsibility of saving food, and mentioned particularly the great economy in making bread by mixing cornmeal flour with wheat flour. Twenty per cent, of the cornmeal flour made a dough, she said, which tasted the same as all-wheat bread, ( and which would be an Immense sav- 1 lng in wheat, if the housekeepers j would only use it in their homes. OIL KEEPS SIGN ON BROADWAY ] Owner Complies Willi Coal- Saving Demand by Use of Kerosene New Yerki N, —lf you will stand ttt Broadway and Forty-seventh! street at 11 o'clock to-night and look' up at the great electrlo sign atop the Pekln Restaurant you will noto that. Its myriad globes do not fade out as the hour strikes, as required by Federal regulations, The sign pro-' claims the qualities of a certain j brand of underwear, and for ton days past, In apparent defiance of the luting of Dr, Qarfield, Fedeml Fuel Administrator, Its lights have boen twinkling from sunset till 1 a. in., although all other display signs In the city have been extinguished two . hours earlier, The answer Is—kerosene. Curtail ment of lights was ordered from Washington to save coal. Kerosene is not coal. So, when Washington cried "lights out" on Broadway, Wal ter J. Balmon, a real estate oporutor Interested In electrical display hit on the Idea of providing his own current without the use of coal. In the basement of 1572-1576 Broadway a 60-horsepower kerosene engine waß Installed, at a cost of $12,000. It worked fine. Current, previously obtained from an electric | light company, was dispensed with, but the sign continued to herald tho merits of the underwear, and to Its letter scheme this announcement was added: "Help conserve coal. Kerosene generates all current used on this sign." "We haven't tried it long enough to know how efficient the plan is going to be," Mr. Salmon said last night. "Perhaps it will be 'hat the current will cost us more In the long run than under the old plan. But the point Is, we are keeping the sign going, and we are not using coal." Reeve Schley, county fuel adminis trator, said yesterday that he had re ceived no word from Washington : about the proposal to further restrict electric signs at night. It Is known,. however, that for some time the fuel administration has felt that the coai saved by restricting signs to certain hours has proved neither entirely practicable nor thoroughly effective, and it is accepted as a foregone con clusion that "lightless nights" on Broadway willsoon be in evidence.

The members of the board of education are opposed to the plan to close tho schools as one means of conserving the coal supply and distributing the large stock on hand In the school buildings for more urgent needs. Because some of the schools are reported to have been ex tremely cold, due to the poor quality of coal furnished them, the board de cided to endeavor to get a better grade of fuel. , That the schoolteachers of the city who are receiving the minimum sal ary allowed by the board of educa tion are unable to live on the money they receive on account of the unusu ally high cost of living, is a declara tion of Superintendent Scott to the board. He recommended some sort of a war bonus for these teachers. The members of the board, however, found that all their funds are appro priated and that they could not grant a bonus without further financial as sistance from council, although all the members farored some aid at oncei SCANT ALCOHOL FOR lIKIQB President Will Probably Set Limit nt 24 Per Cent Washington, Dec. li.—When Presi dent Wilson's order reducing the al coholic consent of beer Is Issued, It probably will specify 2% per cent, instead of 3 per cent., as was first contemplated.
