A mil lion American women, it wa; announced today, have signed pledges to follow the food con servation directions of the tood administrator. All will be en rolled as actual members of food administration and from time tc time will be sent instructions or household economics. Within the next three weeks the admin istration hopes to enroll virtual ly every woman in the United States. The first list of direction* were sent out today to be pasted in the kitchens of women whc have joined the administration They tollow: "One wheatless meal a dav Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barle\ bread and non-wheat breakfasi foods. Order bread 24 hours iri advance so your baker will noi bake beyond ins needs. Cut the loaf on the table and onlv as re quired. Use stale bread foi cooking, toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry. "Beef, mutton or Pork noi more than once daily. Use free ly vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portion! and steak instead of steaks Make made dishes of all left overs. Do this and there will bi meat enough for every one at i reasonable price. "The children must have milk Use every drop. Use butter milk and sour milk foi cookinj and making cottage cheese Use less cream. Butter as usual but not in cooking. Other fat are as good. Reduce use o forced foods. Soap contain fats. Do not waste it, Mak< your own washing soap at hom< out of the saved fats. "Sugar is scarcer; we use to dav three times as much per per son as our allies. So there ma: be enough tor all at reasonabh prices, use less candy and swee drinks. "Coal comes from a distance and our railvvavs are overburden ed hauling war material. Hell relieve them by burning few? fires. Use wood when Mou cat get it. "Fruits and vegetables \v< have in abundance. As a na tion we eat too little greer stuffs. Double their use and ira prove your health. Store pota toes and other roots properh and thev will keep. Begin no\> to can or dry surplus garder products. "Patronize your local pro ducer. Distance means money Bu> perishable food from tin neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation. "Buy less, serve smaller por tions; preach the gospel of tin. clean plate; don't eat a fourth meal; don't limit the plain food of growing children; watch oul for the waste; full garbage pails in America means empty dinnei pails in America and Europe; it the more fortunate of our people will avoid waste and eat no more than they need, the high cost of living problem for the less fortune will be solved."

When a man shows a Christian spirit in an argucmvnt tiling* m coming his way, I Germany's Waning Fortunes Who can doubt that the for tunes of Germany are on the ; wane? The renewal of the fighting on the east by the Rus[ sian Army and the v manifest success attending it, coincident 1 with the arrival of American * troops to take part in the light 1 ing on the west, are in them 1 selves circumstances which are calculated to cause despondency [ among the German people, but in connection with this must be ? taken the progressively crush ing defeats which have been ' inflected by the British and French in recent weeks. The official reports now made pub lie show that from the middle of April to the last of June the 1 Allies on the west front have 1 taken over 63,000 prisoners, [ among whom more than a ; thousand officers are included, together with an enormous equipment of war material, in; eluding 2,330 cannon, trench motors and machine guns. An 1 Armv must be invested with a little more than human strength J and courage to be able to long 4 resist such onslaughts as these captures would indicate the Germans have been subjected to -To this is to be added the vast 1 number ot German soldiers killed in battle since the war began. The figures were made up in March, last, and in these ' are not included the casualties just enumerated. The German ' loss in killed amounts to the high s total of 1,500,000. ''Attrition,' so much talked about in early s days of the war. must now be ~ making itself on the German 2 Army. Those who have been standing by their calculations for the war to.be a thing of the past by or during 1918, are, in ' the opinion of The Observer, J standing on firm ground. The 1 ring of steel which has surround ed Germany since her dash through Belgium was stopped early in fhe war, has become ' much more restricted and is ber ing drawn closer day by day 1 ?.:.K i - vviui an acceleration movement. It is now a question of German 2 ability to delay the process. Her Government is one of ad1 mittedly great resources, but it is a poor military student who may weigh the events of the past few weeks with all the ac' cumulating odds against Ger1 many and not be able to figure out the beginning of the end. Its coming may be starved off ' longer than there is now reason to '.I n t t/M r??l f o lirhiln ?W ......Y>puiv, nunc VII IIIC UlllL'l hand its development may he of a more precipitate nature than could at this time be considered 5 possible.?Charlotte Observer. i ' Monroe Citizen Killed By Train t ; Monroe, July 7.?Charley La. ney was killed earlv this morning at Lafayette, Ind., by a rail, road train, the particulars of this , tragic death not being communicated to his many prominent , relatives in this county and Mecklenburg.
