TO LIVE TWO WEEKS
ON Is CENTS A DAY
Chicago Diet Squad Must Work All the
Time-High Prices Due to
the Public

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. = Six, men and
and six women, employees of the city
health department, ate their Thanksgiv-
ing dinner yesterday and thon gave
their solemn words to eat nothing for
two weeks, but the scientific diet pro-
vided by public economy commission.
They VIII attempt to demonstrate the
theories OF the commission that the
high cost of living is due largely to
the apparent willingness of the public
TO pay any price demanded for its lux
uries and that the public health as well
as its purse should be improved by an
intelligent diet.
John Dill Robertson, health commits
sloner, says he expects to feed the IL
for $40 week or at a trifle more than
eight cents meal or % cents day,
The squad weighed in at $50 this
morning. Their weight will be care
fully watched each day of the two
weeks. They viii be given three care
fully prepared meals each day and will
be required to do their regular work
end will be permitted to drink only
water between meals.
a big commission merchant, who adj
mitted he had profted by high prices,
today attributed the increase to the
supine public. 'eIn former years, if
housewife was asked to pay 40 cents
pound for butter, The said =" she re-
volted and used a cheaper substitute
This year she pays so cents
''Therein lies the secret of present
high prices. There are liberal stocks of
butter and eggs in cold storage, and the
! holders have made more money than
| they ever expected to make. Still
there is no way to make them sell a
product for 80 cents if they can get 80
for it, and as long as buyers will pay
the advancing prices, the price is going
up. -

STATEMENT NOT
BASED ON FACT
Salvation Army Captain Says Bellows
Falls Correspondent Bases Infer
ence on Prejudice.

Editor of The Reformer:
Your letter in Friday S issue from
your special correspondent in Bellows
Falls makes it quite apparent to me
that a certain class in that locality
does not want the Salvation Army to
make any inroads into their ecclesias
teal lethargy.
The charges attributed to me, as be-
ing untrue, and need of salt as SAVIOR,
are only based upon observation and
evidence, but the statement that there
were only 80 people present at our
opening rally in Banquet hall on Fri
day is not based on fact. It was a
representative gathering. Almost every
Protestant church in Bellows Falls had
representative there to endorse the
work of this worldwide organization.
as an officer of this body have been
intrusted to wage war against sin and
crime by the preaching of the gospel
of God in the whole of Windham coun-
Ity. / am determined to my last breath
to press the battle to the gates.
The statement that not within the
memory of man has such a crowd
sought entrance to any meeting, relig-
ious or otherwise, does not bring any
real credit upon the young manhood OF
Bellows Falls, and the inference drawn
that there is no desire on the part of
the inhabitants to have an army corps
in Bellows Falls is based on prejudice
and not fact. If Your correspondent
knew the facts his mind might undergo
change, or become more bitter than it
is now. for the public men and women
we have already interviewed have
pledged their support and will, ! be
lieve, stand together behind this great
and noble cause.

WILSON REFUSES
TO GIVE ASSENT
TO ARMY BILL
Objects to Provision Ex-
empting Retil ed Officers
From Discipline, Duty.
MEASURE REINTROOUCED
Bitter Conference Fight Is Expected
On New Bill Drafted by Chairman
Hay, With Reference to Articles of
War Eliminated-VetO Holds Up
Big Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S,-Wilson
has sent a message to congress Veto
ing the army appropriation bill. He
objects to the provision exempting
retired officers from discipline and
duty under the articles of war Will
son declared such exemption was un-
constitutional.
The message said: with genuine
reluctance the president returns the
bill which wisely and generously pro-
vides for national defense. The exist
ing articles of war are undoubtedly
archaic. They have not undergone
revision for over a hundred years.
Therefore the president more keenly
regrets he is unable to give his ap-
proval to this revision of the articles
of war"
He declared the retired officers are
rot mere pensioners He upholds the
presidents right to summon them to
duty in emergencies.
The veto holds up the two hundred
and seven million dollar appropria-
ton and delays the general military
reorganization.
An hour after the veto was receiv-
cd Chairman Hay of the house mill
tary committee again introduced the
bill, eliminating reference to the ar
ticles of war. A bitter conference
fight is expected on the new bill.
