Have You a Little Pig? R. HERBERT HOOVER'S recent suggestion that everyone keep a pet pix for food con. servation purposes is worthy of more than passing thought. Mr, Hoover says that suburbanites in particular should adopt this custom. Mr. Hoover says nothing about Officers of the British, French and Allied Armies and Navies his would be a serious matter and were well acquainted with the superior durability of Fownes Cape gloves, before the War. Since then they have used “Capes” in even larger quantities. In America FownesCapes areof the same high Service standard —and are-also washable. Civilians, Army and Navy fficers, —if its a that’s all you need to know about a GLOVE. | The Iron Cross N Emperor placed it the Upon my breas This little bit of metal which I wear. And as he said: “For valor shown, For bravery true, for courage rare,” I bowed my head and prayed,— “Oh, God, forgive, Help me this cross to bear.” J. A. Shee USBAND: cook to save? Wire: What's the use? She will be gone in a day or so. “But consider, if you teach all the cooks we have, what an effect upon the country!” Are you teaching the HAT is home without a mother?” asked the sentimental orator, working on the feelings of his audience. “What is home without the weekly arrival of Lire?” asked a practical mother who knew the value of keeping the family cheerful. LESSON IN FINANCE HOW TO FLOAT ALONE the objections likely to be made by boards of health offer a vast ground for controversy ; for every board of health would contend that the keeping of a pig on the premises is a menace to health; whereas Mr. Hoover contends that the keep- ing of a pig would accomplish precisely the opposite effect. What would happen in these cir- cumstances? If Mr. Hoover prevailed, all boards of health would inevitably be discredited, If it could be proved on them that they themselves were an actual menace to the country by refusing permission for pet pigs to roam about one’s premises, this would call national atten: tion to their uselessness. The war certainly ought to accomplish some useful purpose. It will not be in vain if boards of health are put out of business.
