AS a result of the great war it looks
as If all the world will soon be on short

condition, England is adopting drastic
measures to restrict the use of foodstuns
and IL these prove insufficient the presi-
dent of the Board of Trade declares 1t
may be necessary to have recourse to
food tickets. as the enemy countries have
done. France, which already has taken
vigorous steps to prevent waste and reg
ulate food supplies. is increasing its re-
strictions and creating a national board
Of supervision, with sweeping powers, to
institute economies and regulate the dis
tribution Of provisions. With France and
England the latest measures are largely
precautionary and designed to impress the

Officials of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue apparently have been unable
to discover a method by which they
can escape levying an income tax
against the receipts of E. II. Sothern
from the performances of "If l Were
King" Therefore, it appears that Mr..
Sothern must give part of his pro-
ceeds from the play to Uncle Sam in
stead of giving every penny to the
British Red Cross, as he had planned.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
trainers of the income tax law had
no intention of taxing such charity.
If this supposition is fact, Congress
may see fit to amend the law so that
every penny raised for charity may
be devoted to the purposes for which
it is raised.

Sir Sam Hughes, who as Canadian Min
lister of Militia and Defense, raised an
army of 375 900 men out of a population of
100000 in less time and provided for them
better than England has ever done, has
resigned, by request, from the cabinet.
Before the war, Sir Sam was active and
popular in the Canadian militia, but, after
the breaking out of hostilities made his
office one of the greatest Importance. It
is charged that he became a military
despot.
His proclivity to order dress parades
on slight pretexts made him unpopular
with the army, which contained members
from nearly every family in the Domin-
ion.-Buffalo Times.

The largess of the orchard boughs,
The bounty of the fields,
The tuber-treasures that the earth
So generously yields
Are harvested from Eastport, Maine,
To San Francisco Bay.
And bursting barns and bins proclaim
1t Is Thanksgiving Day.
In every kitchen in the land
Enticing odors rise
From roasting fowls, and baking cake.
And mince and pumpkin pies.

The festal boards display,
Prosperity and Peace preside
At our Thanksgiving Day.
Rejoicing in its record crops
Unspoiled by fire and sword,
The nation. blest with happy homes,
Gives thanks unto the Lord.
Content and plenty crown the year
Now almost passed away,
Secure from Wars relentless toll,
We spend Thanksgiving Day.
Deserted farms and ruined towns
Are Just across the sea-
Con well the lesson, dark and sad,
For so our own may be,
FIVE neglect to guard with ships
And men In stern array,
The nag that makes It possi6
To keep Thanksgiving Day.
