Don't work in heavy, leather boots this summer. Wear
"Fleet Foot" Shoes. They are honest aid sturdy
enough to stand the farm work.
Easy and comfortable—light—sensible—and so much
cheaper than leather.
When you go out in the evening, wear "Fleet Foot"

FOOD SHORTAGE IS
A REAL MENACE
WHAT WE ALL CAN DO TO
AVERT FAMINE.
Upon the Farmers of This Continent,
in Large Measure, Rests the
Fate of the Nations.
The British Efmpire is calling you.
forservice on the farms of this coun-
try, Every one is needed—father,
mother, sons, daughters, hired men.
Each can do hisor her share toward
the welfare of the country in feeding
our own people and in supplying the
needs of our soldiers and of our allies.
Now the question is, What things
can'you do for your country to -day,
this week, this- very month? And
here are the answers:
What Father Can Do.
Crops lie can still plant: -Beans —
navy, Lima and soy -beans; buck-
wheat; corn—entilage, fodder, cab-
bage; carrots; cow -peas; millet; late
potatoes; pumpkins; rape; squash;
tomatoes.
Important things he can do: Push
the crops already planted—spray, cul-
tivate, fertilize. Harvest the hay with
unusual care; let none in fence corners
go to waste. Build a silo—it is not
too late to grow the stuff to fill it;
produce milk and beef more economic-
ally by feeding less grain ,and more
silage. Use more forage in producing
porlc. Thin the corn to three plants
per hill; replant missing corn hills;
and give the corn field an extra culti-
vation—just for Belgium.
Now is the best of all times to buy
labor and time -saving implements, ma-
chinery, gas -engines, tractors, etc.
Modern appliances will help you to in-
crease the area, production and con-
servation of your crops.
What not to do: Don't butcher cows,
heifers, sows, ewes or good young
hens; keep them for breeding.
Don't become panic-stricken and
needlessly tight with your purse -
strings. "Business as usual, only more
so," is a good slogan for these times.
Produce all you can, buy all you need,
save money wisely but not foolishly—
thus the wheels of Canada's industries
will keep moving, and business will
not become paralyzed by abnormal
hoarding.
Things Mother Can Do.
Canned goods will be scarce next
fall and winter, There already is a
shortage of tin cans, and canners have
on that account been obliged to cancel
some contracts with growers. Also,
sugar is high and likely to go higher.
So mother should lay her plans to use
more glass jars than ilsual—for toma-
toes and things do not require sugar.
She should carefully look over her
stock of jars, tops and rubber rings,
see what is usable, and order the ex-
tra supply at once, for she may not
be able later to get the kind she
wants.
She should evaporate (or dry in the
good old-fashioned way) cherries, ber-
ries. and fruits, so as to save sugar;
and she should evaporate corn, peas,
beans, and save anything that might
otherwise become a waste product.
An evaporator costs from $5 up. Can-
ning outfits can be had anywhere and
come in all sizes—there will be a big
demand for these labor savers, so the
wise woman will order early.
She can -likewise save food supplies
by Keying the family meals as large-
ly vegetarian as father and the boys
will stand for; and she can substitute
home -ground wheat for store break-
fast foods, and use more cern-meal.
Labor-saving devices and a simpli-
fied scheme of living will lessen the
tension and allow more time for the
conservation of food. A few dollars
spent on good kitchen helps now will
bring in good returns later,
What the Girls Can Do. -
Help mother to conserve food. See
that cherries, berries, early vegetabres,
etc., are gathered before they spoil.
Take extra good care of the hens. Ga-
ther eggs daily; keep them in a cool
place. preserve some of them in wa-
ter-giass for next winter. Keep nests
and coops clean. Sell surplus roost-
ers. Find stolen nests, Set all the
broody herks. Plan to save gardeli and
flower seeds whenever possible; we...al-
ready havrword that some seeds aro
likely tp cost twice as much next
811thig. What the Boys Can Do.
Kelp father push field crops. Gtow
a good garden. Take extra care
the orchard and berry patch. Protect
the birds and they'll help to win the
war. Strip all the inilk out of the.
cows. Stay with father and your jog
he needs ' you, the Empire needs you,
Canada needs you—right where you
are, doing your work nobly and pa-
tlentIY.
What the Hired Man Can Do.
Work loyally. Use head work as
well as hand work. Keep the weeds
out of growing crops, Spray the po-
tatona for bugs and blight. Muzzle
the horses when cultivating corn. See
that nothing goes to waste, Telco ex-
tra, good care -of the tools and machin-
