CONSERVATION IN CIVIL WAR REAL
S. U. I. High School Instructor Writes of Sacrifices of South in Sixties

"Starvation clubs," homespun clothing dyed with butternut, tumblers made from glass bottles, butter at $8 a pound are a few of the things the Americans escaped during the great war due to Mr. Hoover and government supervision in general. These sacrifices and hundreds like them were the lot of our grandfathers in Civil War days.
Miss Bessie L. Pierce, teacher of history in the University of Iowa high school has made a study of thrift in the south during civil war times and notes some interesting instances of unreserved sacrifice on the part of the southerner back in the sixties.
The civil war "meatless day" came oftener than once a week. Even pigeons vanished, and an ounce of meat daily was considered "an abundant ration for each member of the family.' Salt became so scarce that as a final resort the earthen floors of smoke-houses, saturated by the drippings of bacon, were dug up and boiled.
"In 1863," writes Miss Pierce, "a member of the Georgia legislature appeared in a coat made of common wire-grass rolled in cotton. Women's dresses sometimes had a skirt of one color, coat of another, and sleeves of another. Even some of the wealthiest were unable to purchase any new clothing for three years. Sandals, sabots, or moccasins were used as shoes, and the family purses of leather were often contributed to the shoemaker for a pair of shoes."
"The Japanese effect in china" was commented upon by Miss Pierce in her article. Old cups and saucers when broken were mended with white lead in such a way as to produce this effect, and tumblers were made from clear glass bottles by cutting them with a heated wire." During the war General Lee's table service was of tin."
Other examples of southern women giving up their kitchen utensils to be made into plows and spades, their gold and silver to be made into instruments of war are numerous.

Mrs. S. A. Swisher spoke to Prof. F. E. Hayne's class in war relief yesterday morning, on Home Service work.
