ONIONS GREEN AND RED PEPPERS, _ PRESERVING PEARS "Crawford's Grocery, "Good Things To Eat." ~ \ } s ee THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917. FOOD MEETING IN CITY HALL Judge Huycke, of Peterboro, Urges the People to Conserve. AL CAN DO SOMETHING TO SAVE FOOD THAT WILL WIN THE WAR. Pringipal Golbdon Also Spoke--~The Ladies Are to Canvass the City to Get the Food Cards Signed. "It has been-said that a crust of bread wasted is a bullet wasted, and it is true, A crust of bread may de. cide this war against us." "In a newspaper I picked up on the train to-day, I read the follow- ing: 'Don't stuff your husband, but husband your stuff.' I think this is a most timely topic for my address here to-night." It ig certainly good advice for the ladies." "When" you are asked to conserve {the food, it does not mean that you are to starve your children. Give {them plenty to eat. I do not think we will suffer if we are put on ra- tions." "There are no exemptions in this war everyone, both young and old, can do something to win the strug- gle. If a person refuses to do some- thing, he is just as much a slacker as the able-bodied man who knows that it is his duty to go to the war, and does not go." "We may be facing a world fam- in& The men who aré fighting our battles at the front, are not in a po- sition to help raise the food, nor can they save it. It is up to the people at home to see that the men in the trenches are provided for." "It is the highly concentrated food that we must save--the 'food that can be shipped to the front in good condition." - "Is this to much to ask the peo- ple to do? I§ there any sacrifice un- der Heaven too great to make to help the boys who are fighting our battles?" Sign the Service Pledges. The above are some .of the pointed remarks of Judge Huycke of Peter- boro, "who on Tuesday night, made a stirring appeal at the public meet- ing held in the City Hall, on behalf of the conservation of food, in con- nection with the local campaign for the'saving of the food supply, which Is to be carried on by the special committee of Kingston women, Mayor J. M. Hughes presided at the meeting, and nearly every seat in the spacious hall was filled, showing the interest the citizens of Kingston are taking in this campaign. The ladies will start out immedi- 'ately and make a canvass of all the home in the city for the signing of the food service pledges, when every woman will have an opportunity of signliig, so as to be in a position to do her "bit" to help win this titanie struggle. In addition to the address of Judge Huycke, who was listened to with in- tense interest, and who is a most en- tertaining speaker, there was also an ECZEMA CURED FIVE YEARS AGO A Treatment Which Has Proven a Wonderful Healer of the Skin-- Certified Evidence of Lasting Cure, Jordan, Ont., Sept. 19.--The old notion that eczema is a disease of the blood is refuted time and time again by the cures that are daily be- ing effected by Dr. Chase's Oint- ment, The problem of school shoes will be". : Sconomically solved if you will let us outfit ungsters. cofe le lasts, : rt to protect 8 rt growing foot muscles. * : evidence of oes worn by wx childve is' 3 1 Sand judgment : w 1 your own taste I 311 Princess Strent. i Sa 2 Fol a boys and girls, * | legs. fall and winter with it, and could not {work for days at a time.

One day he tried Ointment, and it gave al- instant relief. address by Principal Gordon of Queen's University, who set forth the importance of the campaign in a forceful address, Bishop Bidwell and Dean Starr occupied seats on the platform with the speakers, Judge Huycke's Remarks. In his opening rémarks, Judge | Huycke referred to the part the wo- men were taking in the campaign for the conservation of féeod. They were about to have food service pledges signed by the housewives of the city, and he appealed to all the women to sign them. One of the chief reasons for doing so was be- cause of the King's command. "I picked up a newspaper while on my way down in the train," add- ed the speaker, "and I read some- thing 1 regarded as a good text for my subject here to-night. The item read as follows: 'Don't stuff your husband, but husband your staff.' (Laughter). This perhaps, is some- what blunt, but I think it is geed advice for the ladies. When we ap- peal for the saving of the food, we do not mean that you shall starve the children. They should have plenty te eat, but I do not think it would hurt some people to be put on rations. I am sure that any restric- tion placed on us will not be harm- ful, Everyone Has a Part. "Our Allies are all engaged in the same line of work. Everybody can do something, both young and old. If a person refuses, he is just as much a slacker as the able-bodied man who knows that it is his duty to go to waw and does not go." Judge Huycke, at this stage, spoke of the work of Hon. W. J. Hanna, the foad controller. Mr. Hanna was mak- ing an appeal to the people to save the food supply. There was no com- pulsion, but the people were being asked to volunteer for the work. The speaker said Mr. Hanna was to ibe commended for his action, In this way, he was appealing to the loyalty of the people. And surely the sac- rifice was not too great, Owing to the fact' that so many men were at the front, we were unable to get all the help necessary for the raising of crops. Men at the front could not do work of this kind, and ey were also unable to save food. herefore, it was up tp the people at home to play this part in the war, . Save Coneentrated Food, The speaker pointed out that there was no use in saving all kinds of food. The food to be saved was of the kind that could be shipped to the front in good condition---the highly concentrated food. Wheat, meats, fats and sugar, were the main food- stuffs to be saved for the men in the trenches, "It has been said that a crust of bread wasted, is a bullet wasted, and it is true, for a crust of bread may save the war against us, Some may say it is too much to ask the people to save food, Is it too much? 1s anything too great a rifice to help the boys who are ting our bat- thes? 1 say that mo sacrifices is too great. 3 ? 4 ' » Do Your Duty, "I say that in this great struggle, we must put first things first. De not shirk your duty. Some people may say that they would do this and do that, if the authorities would keep the men at the front from getting their supply of rum or deprive the boys from smoking cigarettes. Never mind all these things. These are questions to be discussed after the war. You will have plenty of time to take up all these questions after the war has been won, AlN questions of politics, and methods of admin- istration, can be taken up them, do not bring all these things up just now, at a time when the fatg of the Empire and humanity hangs in the balance. 'All these things are too small t6 talk about now. Get at your duty, and do it. No matter if you do think the present Govern- ment is a weak Government do your duty, and encourage the Govern- ment to do its duty too se that in the end, we may be successful in this war.
