CONSERVE FOOD SUPPLIES.
Now that our entrance into the
great war has created a pressing
need for food conservation it is advis
able that the people of the United
States should commence to seriously
study not only the great necessity of
conserving the equally important mat
ter of finding the most practical
or achieving she desired re
sult.
We would suggest that one of the
most obvious means is to take ad
vantage of the immense food re
sources of the deep thereby lowering
consumption c: i adm ts of tat 'ana.
As one ot the largest items of food
in America is meat the adoption of
"meatless" days such as have been
instituted in Germany.Engalnd, France
n*. .1. Ot... . ..i itigi. c... .. . Is
one ot the most imminent prospects
of tho war situation in this country.
It may, therefore, be well to cora
oience consideration of the food con
servation question by a brief study of
the most practical means ot reducing
meat (consumption. In Alaska and
elsewhere along the Pacific coast reg
on there is an abundance of food fish
of many varieties so that there is no
logical reason why tncr. could not
bo many “meatless" daps in every
calendar month without i.ny person's
sacrificing anything in the wav o'
a daily portion of lie si fooo, by sim
ple substitution of fish.
Not only would the substitution ot
fish for Cosh foods relieve the strain
upon the national most resources but
would also tend to conserve other and
equally important food elements.
Flesh production, under present day
methods, means grain consumption.
The beef or mutton or pork that
comes to us from the butcher shop
means that a certan amount of grain
—which might Itself otherwise have
been human food—has been fed to
animals. And it must not he for
gotten that the present world famine
is to a great extent a grain famine.
Sea foods, on the other hand, rep
resent absolutely no drain whatever
on other lines ot food and it may,
therefore, be said that their consump
tion In lieu of meat represents a clear
net gain.
Recent improvements in marketing
and handfing methods have tended to
greatly improve the quality of tho
fish sold in the fish markets in places
quite remote from the sea coasts so
there appears no logical reason why
inhabitants of a large irortion of the
country could not adopt any desira
ble number of “meatless” days during
the year.
And us the war goes oil there will
doubtless be still greater Improvements
In the facilities through which th
inhabitants of the country may drav
upon the almost inexhaustible fooi
stores of the sea.
i Considering the imperative need fo
saving all the food supplies of th
nation as far as possible, it wouli
appear that to cat fish instead o
steak at frequent intervals Is reall;
a patriotic duty.
ARE YOU USING YOUR WILL?
: What you do in this world you dt
through the power of your will. Thi
• I
brain Is merely the machine thn
r works. The will is the dyanmo.
A man of middle age sat on tin
beenh in a public park the other af
ternoon. He was out of a job. His
^ clothing was frayed. He needed r
I shave. His shoes were run down, hi
I hat begrimed. About him was r
Ustlessness that gave to him the ap
1 pearane of being lazy. You would
1 have said liis face lacked ambition
and strength of character—and so it
did.
This man didn't have the will to
resist temptation! He said so him
self, and that was the only excuse
for his condition He admitted he
once had a good job that he fell into
wrong ways because he couldn't bring
himself to say no to his companions.
You’ll find a lot of these men on
the park benches -and they’ll tell
you the same story. They have brain,
for the most part, but they haven’t
the will power!
They know perfectly well every
hour of every day what they ought
to do. They knew, too, they hadn’t
done it.
Between doing the things you know
you ought to do and having not done
them stands will power. If you are
successful, It Is your will that con
trols. If you are a failure, It is your
appetlie and your passions that con
trols you. In all your life there Is
but one thing that counts for success
In every meaning of the word.
That Is the power of the will!
The man on the park bench let his
appetite and his passions control. He
had the machine to do the work, but
he failed to use the dynamo- and so
ho was a failure.
There never was an animal that
showed the sligthest inclination to use
the will power. Man from the begin
ning is a creature ,an an'unnl like the
others, except that in his brain he
has a will. The exeriese of that will
determines what kind of a man he
shall be.
This will slioivn in organization,
preparation, in absolute, un iuestion
Ing obedience to the things which
make for sucess. The will from
above becomes th" will of those belo-v
—and this will makes of seme men
the leaders of ihe nation.
Rach of ns possesses ar. ecu rs" 1
animal inheritance of idle! ess, self
indulenee vanity shifting interest.
I.eft to cursclvcs without guiding
will, v c are worthless and despicable
ns an i n less monkey in a cage or a j
creature of the lowest kin I wandering
about tie earth. We art baeic from
where we started in this Darwinian
progress!
Rife is a stream and we seem like
drifting chips. We go with the cur
rent and our journey ends in the
ocean that we call death. Most of
us really do drift—and we drift witli
a rudder, too—a rudder we fail to use.
Tha rudder is our will. We even have
a captain. That captain Is the will.
Take no stock in that old theory
that man or woman fulls because of
j’impefect temperatment or character."
Man and woman fail because they
■ have not he strength of will to over
come temperament—not because of
temperament. We all have tempera
ment, and the most of it is imperfect.
We all have character, too, and the
most of it is imperfect.
Napoleon said no man could change
his temperament, but Napoleon
didn’t know. Men and women do
change their temperament—and they
change it often. Napoleon died a
miserable, diseased prisoner on a
lonely island because all his genius
: das devoted to self-gratification and
! egotism, and none to strengthen'ing
I the will which should have controlled
him while he was devoting his time
on the attempt to ontrol all otheiu.
Napoleon had intelligence but intel
ligence the animals havp. Reason, in
i the highest sense of s ic control or
Will power, they have no? With ria
! son goes language, the tool of
| thought. And in reason, in language,
in thinking. In comparing and deetd
I ing, with the help of will, man has a
s'-eond life. That is the life wj-l.i
living.
Book into the glass while your
! brain forms the thought, "I will n..i
; fail," and you will see yourself with
\ a new face. The light of determina
! tion Is a beautiful thing to behold.
! Knowledge of right and wrong is
! horn in the front of the brain nnd
I'it shows in the face. It is the index
[ of the will. It is a part of the brain
that belongs ot man alone.
3 It is your duty—your duty with the
r brain of man—to make a reality of
1 the inspirations and good thoughts
that come to you. Your will docs
p ttiis. It is the duty of this same will
• to control the energies, the passions,
I the ddiving power to be found In the
[ other part of the brain. If the will
■ par^ of your brain is not driving the
other part, then you are falling in
your duty as man. You might as well
be a lower animal.
, Encourage yourself to do good
i thinking is sufficient. When you think
■ a good thought make your will the
servant of that thought. Then you
can make the thought a reaftty!
You can climb every day of your
life a little higher, a little nearer to
the life which Is governed by reason
ami conscience if you will.
You can avoid failure, the dismal
old age of the man who is nothing,
if you will.
Are you striving to do these things?
It Is for you to decide. The will Is
the dynamo that does the driving—
