There are 10,(MM),000 unmarried
men in the I'nit eel States between
the age of 18 and 44. This is 45
per cent, or nearly half of the
total of 22,000,000 men in this age
periml. There are about 9,000,000
unmarried women. According to
a bulletin issued by an old line life
insurance company, of the 10,000,-
IHH> unmarried men a vast number
are of sound health and financial-
ly able to marry. The editor of
the bulletin says for the safety of
the .state and of the race, Amer-
ica needs not only more soldiers
but more fathers and mothers. He
finds that the development of ex-
pensive* tastes by the young wo-
men of America and the high
of living, or rather the cost
high living, furnish excuses
y oung men to remain single,
result of men remaining single a
vast number of young women ate

TEACHING THE AMERICANS
A LESSON.
The present high cost of living
is due the American people. It
will teach a lesson that is neces-
sary at this time. For years the
American people have been living
a life of extravagance and waste-
fulness that borders on sin itself.
The time is here when the aver-
age American family must hedge
—economize, anti make one pound
of sugar sweeten where two
potnnls has been doing the work.
Herbert U. Hoover, chairman of
the food committee of the national
council of defense, and the man
xvho handled the Belgian food pro
position, says that the Germans
are consuming food on a strictly
scientific basis, while the Ameri-
cans are trying to eat themselves
to death. Mr. Hoover says the
idea that the Germans are going
to starve to death is false, ami that
nothing short of a crop failure in
Germany ean keep the Germans
from supplying themselves with
all the food they need, and tha’
they can live mi a much more lib-
eral scale than at present and
have enough food for two years.
The food expert says that Amer-
ica has as well prepare for a war
that will continue until 1919 or
1920. We must learn a lesson in
economy and the sooner we learn
it the better it will be
