    OVER THE TOP!
"Over the top!"
This mu9t be the battle cry in the
kitchen of every American home to
day, as well as the battle ery on the
fields of Europe.
"Over the top!"
When the soldier at the front hears
this cry he knows that all the hours
of training: and waiting are over. I
The hour for real fight has come.
"Over the top!"—and he goes over
the trench face to face with the en-1
emy.
And what does this b-itle cry
mean in the kitchen of our American
homes?
It means that the time of talking
:ibout food winning this war and
how we must save it, is past.
"Over the top!" Get into the real
fi;ht of saving food! Face the en
emy, Starvation, that is invading
tie countries of our associates in
this war, despite the efforts of their
brave women to check its advance.
These women have put up a splen
did fight. They knewthat their men
were putting all their strength into
beating back the enemy and they,
Iheir wives, sisters, mothers and
sweethearts, must face the great
struggle against starvation alone.
Toil and Sacrifice
The toil and sacrifice of this strug
gle no one but themselves will ever
know. Women whose nearest ap
proach to farm labor before the war
was to train their rose vines to grow
over their porches and pick fresh
sweet peas for their drawingroom
tables are doing the heavy work of a
farm laborer to-day. They are
plowing, raising crops, feeding and
tending livestock, keeping oattle
barns and farm machinery in re
pair.
Besides the farming, the women
are practically running the food fac
tories, keeping them going day and
night as long as they can obtain the
raw food products with which to
work.
Down to the last child these peo
ple have learned something that very
few people here in America have as
yet learned. It is this: The strength
of the first line trench depends on
the strength of the bread line. As
long a sthe women can hold the
bread line under the shock of war.
the men can hold the trenches.
AVlien the women fail, the men fail. :
In their hour of need, the wo- '
men of Europe are calling to you,
women of America. "Over the top!"
Into fight with us against hunger!"
If we are to help them, we must
save food as never before. Where

we have had one wheatless day in
our week, we must put two in now
—or better still three or four. We
must remember that every ounce of
food saved is just that much food
sent to our soldiers and the allies.
Boy on "Scooter" Is
Killed by Truck
Burnaby, B. C.—Robert Courte
nay, the ten-year-old son of Sapper
R. and Mrs. Courtenay, of Four
teenth avenue, was instantly killed
while playing on Kingsway, near
the corner of Britton street.
The lad was riding on a "scooter"
and propelling himself with one foot
when, in trying to avoid being run
down by a large truck that had come
up to him,- he shot out in front of
a jitney driven by Clarence Reamy,
of South Vancouver. The car ran
over the boy, killing him instantly.
The father of the boy is overseas,
having gone to the front, with the
Forty-seventh battalion, but being
transferred to an engineering corps.
The mother is prostrated with grief
over the accident^
Clarence Reamy is the driver who
had the misfortune to run into Judge
Howay's car a little over a week
ago.
THE FLOUR
OF THE ARMY
Wars are no longer all bullets and
blades; they arc also bread and beef.
It has been tlie business of an army
to lead in lighting and the business j
of civilians to lead in supplying food.
In this war, especially, it is the
proud part of the men and women
at home to lead in food conservation.
We know as never before that the
soldier cannot light unless he is well
fed; that people cannot support all
the abnormal conditions of war un
less they are well fed.
Bread is the foundation on which
we all rest. The most insistent drive
of the food administration has been
"save the wheat!" We must send
100,000,000 bushels of wheat over
seas before the first of June. It. can
not coine out of our surplus, because
there is not any. It must come out
of our saving.
Who is helping to save it? Are
you? You used to consume 215
pounds of flour a year in pre-war
days. The food administration wants
you to consume only 150 pounds a
year now, so that this imperatively
needed wheat may get to the war
workers and fighters in Europe.
One hundred and fifty pounds of
flotir per person a year! But you
must look to your laurels. Our brave
army is leading you on your own
field. The soldier boy in the thirty
two camps and cantonments of our
country is getting .361 pounds of
flour per day. This is at the rate of
131 pounds per person a year. He
is 19 pounds ahead of you, stay-at
homes! Salute the soldier who is
leading you, but make up your mind
that in this which is particularly
your job, he shall not continue to
stay 19 pounds of flour ahead.
Advice to the Lovelorn
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A young gentleman has been call
ing on me for two years and has of
ten told me he cared a lot for me.
He simply raves when I have an
other fellow. So I try to be true and
really am true to him. But the
other week, a certain girl came
home from school, and I heard that
he has been going with her and try
ing to keep me in the dark of it.
Now Dear Miss Fairfax, what I
shall I do? Shall I give him the
sling? Or shall I not say anything
about it and have him the same as
ever?
Sincerely,
, Worried.
My dear girl, by no means give
the young man the "sling" as you
call it, until you have had a friend
ly talk with him. Ask him frankly
about the other girl, and her stand
ing with him. Explain to him that
you have always been considerate
with him in regard to his wish that
you do not go with other fellows, and
explain that you expect fair treat
ment from hint. Remind him that
it is a poor rule that will not work
both ways. If he has come to dis
regard his liking for you because
of the other girl, he should be frank
and tell you so, in order that there is
no misunderstanding.
I wonder, Worried, if you are old
enough to be devoting all your atten
tion to one young man. Remember,
until you are of proper age, it is
I better always to be a friend to all
j the boys, rather than too devoted to
I just one of them.
j Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am going with a young man and
i I love him very much, and I think
I he cares a great deal for me.
But on the other hand, I go with
1 a girl who is very funny in some
j ways.
When this fellow asks me to go
i for a walk, she seems as though she
does not want me to go. If I stand
! around on the street talking, when
I T am with her, she always wants to
go. When she is standing talking
I with him while I am not with her,
she doesn't mind. She is always
acting soft in front of the boys and
makes me very cross.
I know I am very jealous and is it
: wrong for me to stop going with her
on account of this? If it is just
j because I am jealous, please tell me
how to overcome it. I have tried
so hard, but can't.
Heartbroken.
| Dear little Heartbroken:
i Jealousy is merely a form of sel
j fl! hness, and therefore should not
be allowed to creep into the charac
ter of any of my strls. Do not mind
the actions of the girl friend you
| sp jak about; if the boy of whom you
are so fond really loves you, he will
dislike the other girl for her un
ladylike actions quite as much as
you do. The only way to overcome
jealousy is to exert all the force of
your will. Remember to be selfish
ly jealous is small, and you must
not tolerate such feelings in regard
to the man you love or the girl
whose friend you are supposed to
be.
Don't let the girl friend influence
you in your treatment of the man
you say you love. He can not help
any of her actions. If necessary,
tell her frankly about her actions,
which you do not like, and see if
she can not explain those acts of
hers which meet with your disap
proval, or at least try to overcome
them.

"Mary, I don't want you to pre
pare them the old way, you needn't
make a cream sauce, just peal them
and cut them up and fry them in
butter."
"Yes, ma'am."
"And broil the chicken and have
the new potatoes just boiled in their
skins. 1 have tried to make it a
dinner that Mr. Curtis will thor
oughly enjoy."
"It's like a party." said Mary,
grinning good naturedly.
"Yes, it is," agreed Helen. "I'm
going out now, so I'll just leave the
rest to you."
Helen went out for the afternoon
and returned certain that everything
would be all right at home, and it
was. When she returned about five
thirty there was a delicious smell of
mushrooms in the hall, and Helen,
conscious that Warren would appre
ciate her extra efforts In the plan
ning of a dinner, went on into the
living room and dropped a kiss on
the top of his head.
"Hello," he as usual.
"Tired dear?"
"Nope, not very something smells
pretty fine out. there; I'm hungry!"
"That's good, everything is about
ready. Here's Mary now," as Mary
appeared in the doorway and an
nounced dinner.
The cream of tomato soup, which
came first was delicious, and when
Mary brought the rest of the din
ner Warren whistled.
"Why all the fuss and feathers?"
"I wanted to have a surprise din
ner for you, dear. You know Louise

told me the other night that new
I receipt for mushrooms and I thought
I'd have them to-night, and the rust
just planned itself out."
"What did you have to pay for
mushrooms?"
"Ninety cents a pound."
Warren looked up. "No!" He said
incredulously.
"Why, yes, dear, I did."
"Well, then, all I have 1o say is
that you are the most extravagant
woman I have ever heard of. Don't
you know times are serious and we
could very well do with less?"
Helen who had imagined that
Warren would bo delighted with ev
erything, flushed with vexation and
disappointment. She ate the crown
ing glory of Mary's strayberry short
cake in silence, and felt like crawl
ing off in a corner somewhere for a
good cry. Warren having had his
say was finished, and was much sur
prised when his efforts to clear mat
ters up afterward met with little re
sponse.
Two nights later Helen met 'War
ren downtown for dinner, and they
went to a hotel at Warren's sug
gestion. The very first thing that
Warren said on picking up a menu
v.'.is to remark that it was ridiculous
to limit each person to two wheat
rolls.
Helen's mind jumped back imme
diately to her home dinner, but she
said nothing, and as the waiter came
up for their order, she looked
dreamily about the dining room
content to have Warren order what
he liked. She was brought back sud
denly to a consciousness that he was
having an altercation with the
waiter.
"It's against the rules, sir."
Well, it oughtn't to be," Warren
growled.
"Warren," expostulated Helen,
"you couldn't possibly eat more than
two rolls, dear; you never eat much
bread at home."
"But it's ridiculous to come to a
place where they charge as they do
here and to be limited on everything
if one has the money to pay."
Helen, with flaming cheeks, waited
till the waiter had gone off to exe
cute their order before she re
marked:
"I think it is a very small matter
to make so much fuss about."
There was an unpleasant silence,
and when the dinner was finally
brought Helen was feeling misera
bly unhappy. She reflected bitterly
that Warren made a great deal of
her time with him unpleasant, if not
actually unhappy. There always
seemed to be something for him to
find fault with. Helen wondered
vaguely if he were ever contented
with anything.
She watched the waiter serve the
meal and compared the price with |
that of the surprise dinner. The dif
ference in favor of Helen's dinner
was almost staggering, and if she
had not been afraid of prolonging
the discussion she would have re
arked on it. As it was, she ate in
silence.
But when she saw Warren finally
lean back in his chair with still one
of his rolls untouched, she could
not refrain from remarking;
"I should think you would be
ashamed to have the waiter take
that roll away, Warren." She said
it with such an air of disgust and
the rebuke was so richly deserved
that Warren actually had the graco
to look sheepish.

CALF'S EXCITING RIDE.
Runaway Team Carries It a Ivong
Distance
When George W. Evans started to
town hauling a cow and calf in a
stock wagon, the calf became fright
ened by an automobile that ap
proached from the rear and jumped
over the driver's seat on to the
horses' backs. The horses then had
a turn at the fright and ran away.
Evans was hurled from the wagon
and the team raced three miles with
the calf clinging to the double tree
and bawling in fear, the cow bounc

Finally the wagon skidded, struck

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
Manufactured From a Tree Tlutt
Grows in California
Many thousands of the men
maimed on Europe's battlefield of
all races and. climes will wear arti
ficial limbs manufactured from fi
tree that grows in California. It is
known as the yucca, or Joshua tree,
and is especially suited for this pur
pose because of the toughness and
lightness of its wood.
The yucca tree Is a produce of the
desert and thrlevcs in places where
nothing else will grow. Ordinarily
it reaches a height of from fifteen
to twenty feet, and has great limbs
out of proportion to the trunk. Tts
wood not only is light in weight
and tougli of fiber, but can be easily
shaped. Surgeon's pplints also are

Courts Adjourns So
Juror May Milk Cows
Eos Angeles, Cal. —In these days
of conservation a man who owns a
herd of cows and is drawn on a
jury is divided between his duties as
a citizen and his duties as a food
producer. It thus came to pass that
F. E. Saxton was drawn as a juror
in Attorney Rupert Turnbull's $50,-
000 suit against C. D. Hillman or
Pasadena, on trial in Judge Monroe's
court. Court time is ordinarily up
at 5 o'clock, but as Mr. Saxton has
to travel to Artesia, and the cows are
waiting to be attended to. Judge
Monroe,2who has the true war spirit,
adjourns in time to enable the ranch
er to reach home in time to super
intend the milking.
