The food administration Is pleased to pieces with the New York hotels for saving more than a thousand barrels of flour a week and some 17 tons of meat a day by these wheatless-meatles- s occasions that are so popular now, a writer In Colliers observes. Provision dealers report a falling off In sales, and fill Is lovely and statistical. 'TIs a fair picture to gaze upon, but honor whete honor Is due! That patient hero, the hotel patron, ought to come In for a few kind words, since he pays the full price and eats the half portion. Save wheat use corn bread Is 10 cents, corn bread Is 15 cents. As a transient consumer, the other noon, we paid 90 cents for a slice of beef as large as a postal card, plus one of creamed potatoes, plus a bit of Yorkshire pudding about the size of a watch. No doubt It was all that was good for us, but the price was more. If the widely known principles of economics are still working, we helped make meat and bread cheaper and paid as much as If we were making them dearer. A patriot Is a noble thing, but Isnt It better to be one than to trim one? The hotel keepers of Manhattan are playing both sides of the game and the food administration furnishes a Jazz band of statistical admiration for their efforts. These bonlfaces who are shrinking the meals and swelling the prices need something all right, but not encouragement. governmental Meanwhile the hotel user can feel sure that the war has not changed his function at all hes the paying goat now Just as he used to he. table-ppoonf- ul Experts May Be Drafted.

But the postman was late and breakfast lagged. Once or twice Mrs. Mun-ao- n had thrust her sharp nose Into the room and had even asked Mr. Root If there was anything more he wished. Second helpings of anything being rare at the Munson table, Mr. Roots fellow boarders grinned appreciatively when Selma thudded heavily in with a second cupful of a muddy mixture, politely called coffee. Expecting a valentine, Mr. Root?" asked mischievous Ethel Raymond, the little stenographer, who was to be married at Easter. Mr. Root blushed furiously and looked Into his coffee. I am looking for an important letter, he said severely. Valentines are important, teased Ethel, for she liked the quiet little gray man who had been bookkeeper for twenty-fivyears in a downtown warehouse. Mr. Roots bachelor quarters at the top of the house had been spoken of as a model of comfort by the men of the Munson boarding house but the women would have it that the little man must be lonesome, and among themselves they had secretly decided that It would be a fitting romance If Mr. Root married Miss Ida Wingfield, the schoolteacher who sat at the end of the table. Miss Wingfield, once pretty, now pale and tired, with rather a distinguished air lent by her abundant gray hair, always played Mr. Roots accompaniments when he brought his violin down to the parlor. Theres the postman cowl cried Ethel Raymond eagerly. A loud knock came at the basement door and Selma plodded slowly to take in the handful of letters. Ida Wingfield picked up her valentine, broke the seal with a reverent finger and pulled out a charming concoction of lace paper and golden hearts and flying cupids. There were roses and arrows scatand tered everywhere. Ah!" breathed the excited table as I Q V e forget-me-no- ts Convert. at work on nny spring po- etry? Cr Didnt know you like spring poetry?

Mrs. Munson came into the dining room with Importance written on her sallow countenance. Miss Wingfield, Im dreadfully sorry but Im afraid that valentine you got this morning Isnt for you, after all. Along about noon a lady came In from next door and said that her name was Wingfield and wanted to know If any mail for her had been left here by mistake. Said her name was Inez Wingfield so I guess, maybe, that valentine was for her. Ida Wingfield suddenly looked 111; all the light and color died out of her face. Slowly she took the envelope from her bosom and passed It to the woman beside her. There was silence around the table for an Instant. Then before Mrs. Munson could move away Asa Root got up and held out his hand. I will take that letter, If you please, Grape-NutMrs. Munson.

It takes from fifteen to thirty days to get letters from th6 United States to the soldiers In France, according to their location and the condition of ocean transportation, PostMail ; ! Great Britain, $1,703,642 ; other foreign countries, $2,636,300; American soldiers who may be taken prisoner, $343,627. The foregoing appropriations are from the time the United States entered the war until April 30, 1918. For the United States the Red Cross has appropriated $2,612,532.60 and the reason this sum Is not larger Is because the government provides nearly everything our army and navy needs, and besides, there is no civilian distress In this country of any considerable proportions. The great variety of the military and civilian relief work being done by the Red Cross is Indicated briefly In the following list: Canteens that afford food, baths and sleeping quarters for men at the front; rest stations and recreation centers for soldiers in transit and at port of arrival in France; care of destitute children ; furnishing supplies to 4000 hospitals; teaching mutilated soldiers new trades; reconstruction of villages ; bringing together families of soldiers scattered by the war; farms for convalescent soldiers; sanitariums for tubercular and other patients; food, clothing, medicine, and shelter for the homeless and destitute ; and other activities too numerous to mention. It is stated by the national war council that all salaries and administrative expenses are paid out of membership dues, so that every penny given to the Red Cross war fund has been spent for relief. This answers the rumors that have been circulated about the expenses of operation. Out of 255 executives in the fourteen divisional offices of the Red Cross la the United States, 59 per cent are women.
