Wlagn she addressed the convention of Woiz en's Institutes for the Province 'of New Brunswick on' the subject of Food Conservation The fo•Ilawing are the percentage re- ductions in the consumption of beef and bacon reported for the month of August 117 to September 17, as com- pared with the consumption in the safne eatingplaces during the pre- ceding month: City Percentage Saving • of beef • of bacon Quebec 29.82 29.01 Montreal 25.30 26.112 40.48 79.84 Toronto, 47.08 (1 1, Winnipeg Calgary 63:04 28.35 28.47 44,81 52.67 30.87 75.32 65.00 84.80 34.10 40.93 iteports are not complete for the ontirc Dominion but those already re- ceived indicate that the saving is all parts of the country has been large as 'measured in percentage when con- sidered in the aggregate of pounds. Four establishments in one city re - ;ported that the consumption of the previous month has' been reduced by the following •atnount.s (1,)• 1.5 tons 1 ton (2) 0.68 tons ;1,53 ton t3). 1.64 tons 0.12 ton (A) ! 5.66 tons h.58 tbn The combined saving for the month in these four: establishments alone amounted to 9S tons of beef end, 3 and 3-5 tons of bacon. What Can- ada's united effort will amount to is }tut direly foreshadowed by the per- formance, ' of these four establish - merits. Arid these to the number of other places in the same city and then add all from other Canadian cities and you can easilysee how great has been the suing in con- sunrption of these two commodities, Mrs. Muldrew explained that in the present critical situation as regards the food supplies of the world, those who were responsible for the feeding of the family had am, especial opportunity for effective patriotic service, hi. order that' Canada might send to the Allied countries .its share of the enormous amolmt of wheat required, the normal Consumption here would have to be reduced from 6 to 4t. bushels per 'capita. This meant that where we were accustom- ed to oat four slices of white bread we must now eat only three, and for that other slice eat a bread made fromi -sonic other: cereal, such as rye, barley, corn, or eat its equiva- letiiL of barley, rice, oatmeal or ether cereal food. Moreover, the present Consumption of beef• and bacon in Canada must be reduced by one third. Mars. Muldrew explained the pur- pose of the Jlousehold Food Pledge. "In order," she said, "to early out to the Bull the requests of the Con- troller no privation .is:exacted of any ono; there is nothing that any one with an intelligent understanding or food values and of simple methods of cooking cannot carry out and do much more and still have her family well nourished," The speaker, also declared that much food was still being wasted in hotels and restaur- ants because too large portions were served." "The , services rendered by the )touseleeeper though very real is not dramatic as is the work of the nurse with her attractive uniform," said Mrs. Muldrew, "but the kitchen sol- dier in her uniform is necessary to win the war.

Jr. ist-,Stanley Reid, Mary Wool- ly, Dorothy ,Swan, 1Vt; X2fliott, Teacher., This, the most tremendous question in Canada's history, is to be answered within ten days. Our answer involves Canada's honour, her freedom and her future. Old-time party questions, are being advanced to obscure the gravest issue ever placed before a nation. Canada is' in real danger. The clouds that obscure her vision rn.ust be brushed aside ,so that the great issue stands forth clear and distinct. "Is a United Quebec to Rule x.11 ea To -day, in our national crisis, Quebec alone among all the Provinces stands more united than ever before. She knows what she wants: (1) Withdrawal from the war. e(2) .Bilingual schools everywhere. (3) Weakening of the ties of British connection. (4)` Political control of Canada. From the. Ottawa River to Labrador and the Gulf, a com- mon purpose actuates Quebec in:, her determination to profit by the factionali divisions of Canada"and to impose her will upon all the people of Canada. Within the last few weeks, Quebec has mobilized all her forces to dominate Canada under the unified leadership of Bourassa And Laurier. Canada knows that these two men in their earlier edays were personal friends and political associates. Canada knows how in recent times tlieygradually drew apart—until in 1911 Bourassa opposed Laurier and helped to bring about his defeat, at the polls. Canada knows that from that time forward. until a few weeks ago, the breach between them steadily widened until envy and hatred, each toward the other became the possession of both. Bourassa and his followers were anathema to Laurier.. Should not the people of Canada ask themselves, before it is too late, why these two men have suddenly agreed to bury the past, why this sudden embrace each of the'other?. If we will but let the scales drop from our eyes the answer is obvious. The all r.ntnpelliil� influences of Quebec have combined to force the union of Laurier and Bourassa in the common purpose -of French Canadian dom- ination. We concede the right of French Canadians to make com- mon cause of anything they think it is in their interests so to do. ,This is a free country. But as the French Canadians have already combined to assert their views, it is the duty of the hour that we English-speaking Canadians get together and present to Quebec a united front in the defence of our rights. This is imperative. With sixty solid seats Quebec is about to accomplish her designs. Bourassa„ the real master and idol of Quebec, is in sight of his goal. To attain her purpose, Quebec has not scrupled to ignore British traditions and to suppress freedom of speech. So thor- oughly organized is her campaign to prevent even the discussion of the war that Unionist candidates are prevented from holding ado'?" public meetings throughout that Province. The Unionist minority, in Quebec are the victims of organized obstruction. ' To be successful in her determination to rule all Canada, Oucbec has but to secure a few seats in each of•thc other Provinces. •Quebec leaders no w'•seek to divide the rest of Canada into factions by insidiously bringing into political discussion old-time party ques- tions, to divert the public mind from Quebec, her purpose and her ambitions. United in her determination to quit the war, Quebec would compel a divided Canada to do likewise: By union only can the Lnglish-speaking people prevent this calamity. However well-meaning Laurier candidates in Ontario may be,,they will be helpless against a united Quebec. Apart from the splendid work of the small English-speaking population, Quebec has failed the Red _ Cross, , has failed the, :Patriotic Fund, has failed in recruiting and has failed in tlia4 Victory Loan. Dare we trust otir soldiers, their wives, their children, their pensions and their allowances to Quebec, that will neither give, enlist nor invest; and which will resist taxation for the support of our men and their dependents? Canada must decide whether she will become a deserter and quit with Russia, or fight to the end for liberty with Belgium, This decision must not be dictated by tfie only Province which has shirked its obligations throughout the war. All Canada knows that Germany has been working through agents, spies and bribes in every country in the world. The latest evidences are the revelations recently made to the world by Presi- dent Wilson. Do we Canadians think the Kaiser has overlooked Canada? If we do, what a fool's paradise! Germany benefits by division among her enemies. Upon whom would she look in Canada as furthering her designs? Not Sir Robert Borden, Mr. Rowell and their colleagues in the Union Government. That is certain. But can the same be said with respt -Co the leaders in the Province of. Quebec whose attitude in this war is against Canada's continuation in the war. We regret to be compelled to say these things, but we must not shut our eyes to facts. The; Citizens' Union Committee, anxious for the maintenance of British ideals and traditions, views with alarm the menace of French-Canadian domination with its inevitable influence upon the home, the school and the state. We, therefore, call upon all English-speaking men and women to realize that—Canada, divided by political factions and old-time party questions, is at the mercy of a united Quebec. Union Government alone can save Canada from the menace of French-Canadian domination. i The Citizens.' Union Committee A Non -Partisan War -Tune Organization to Support Union Government , J. W.
