Of the healthy men who are engaged in the military service in France, practically all are engaged either in transportation or in the manufacture of munitions, leaving the agriculture absolutely to the women. Not only this, but they hare stepped into the place of work animals; you can go into any section of France today and see women of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the plow and cultivating the .soil All of the agriculture rests upon their shoulders. The home, always an extremely efficient home, maintains a feu old men. the wounded and the

Now, conditions being as they are, docs it lie within the heart of the American people to preserve and bold to every convenience of onr life at the expense of adding an additional burden to the womanhood of Fiance? This is the axact question that is involved in our submitution of other cereals in place of wheat. The women of France must be enabled ‘o hold up the morale of the French soldier until next spring. Tbe morale of the house decides the morale of tbe soldier in the fighting line. We can do this by giving to them the greatest possible freedom in their food supply, and of this, wheat is the chief factor.
