England Worried
By Discomfort of
Laboring Classes
Aid Of America,
Britain Smiles at
Starvation Threat
Baron Rhondda Declares He
Will Work with Hoover to
Conserve Supplies
tBy Cable 10 The rnbunel

London, June 22.-As food control
ler Lord Davenport was a failure be-
cause he was only able 10 envisage the
problem with the utmost complexity
and with the mind of successful null
tiple shopkeeper. While he was very
we'll intentioned, the orders he made
with the idea of increasing supplies
and diminishing prices happened to
have the unfortunate result of decreas-
ing the supply and enhancing prices.
The new Food Controller, Lord
Rhondda, better known as d. A.
Thomas, is a different type. His ideas
Of business are commonly described
here as "Napoleonic" While there was
distinct regret everywhere when he left
office as President of the Local Gov
ernment Board, where he was dealing
with the question of the nations health
as a whole, especially in regard TO chill
dren's mortality, there IS general com
fort over his new duties. 1t is felt that
he is not likely TO be impressed with
the natural craving of the middlemen
and professional proiiteers for making
capital out of the nations food neces-
sites and shortage.
Baron Rhondda said to-day that he
wished to work in the closest CO.
operation with Herbert c. Hoover, the
American Food Administrator.
The United States and Great
Britain, working together on the food
supply problem" he declared, "can
smile at German threats TO starve
England"
The new food controller continued:
IL ony assumed office a few days
ago under exceptional pressure, and
so far | have been entirely occupied
in examining the position. Two points
impress me most.
"The first is the food question, which
is mainly a woman's question. Their
influence ultimately controls the sit
uation. | admire and welcome Mr.
Hoover's idea of Housewives League.
II the women of both countries act
together they will be able 70 influence
the situation enormously.
"The second point is that the only
way of controlling prices Is by piac-
ing a monopoly in the hands of one
man only. We must defeat the nat
ural laws of supply and demand for
the time being. That is the only way.
"Under the Defence Of the kealm
act | am given the power to control
the entire food supply OF the country
to fix prices and to requlsition any
thing. l hope Hoover vii be given tne
same mowers and that we may be able
10 work in coordination.
81 mean TO eliminate all middlemen'
especially the food speculator. Our
motto will be The fewer people
handling the food supply, the better
for the nation This has already been
done in some directions. We have
requisitioned all the farmers supplies
of hay and wool, while in the gram
trade there is only one hand between
the government and the consumer.
II am only beginning this job, but
my business is TO reduce prices on all
necessary food commodities, such as
bread, milk and meat. am cortident
the government will give me al tho
powers required"

Home Protection
Is Now Demanded

"The Asquth government failed from
weakness and ineptitudc. The Lloyd
George government will have to make
way for other men II it cannot defend
our women and children. / warn the
Prime Minister that the country is
thoroughly aroused. After three years
Of war we have a right TO claim suffi-
cient protection for our homes. The
man who thinks the nation is prepared
to suffer the killing and manning Of its
infants and mothers while departments
consider and officials confer is living
on the edge Of revolution"
And again, on beer:
"The deprivation of beer plus the ex-
poitation by the brewers who are chsrg-
ing champagne prices for stuff not dis
tinguishable from 'swipes,' will cause
serious and calamitous trouble unless
the Prime Minister has the common
sense and courage to turn deaf ear
to bigots and concede TO the man who
works the right TO food and drink that
are good in quality and reasonable in
price. This nation is fighting for life
and sacrificing everything that its wom-
en- and children may be spared. IL de-
mands that these sacrifices shall not
be made in vain"

Largest Sums Cut
Two subscriptions of 25,000,000 each

The pairing down process thus will

In cases where large subscriptions
have been reported TO the Federal Re-
serve banks as consisting of number
OF small subscriptions provision has
been made for allotment in accordance
with the several amounts of the
smaller subscriptions.
THE figures as 10 the number of
subscriptions are estimates" Mr.. Nc
Adoo explained, because the returns
respect are incomplete, but when final
ly reported they will exceed the num-
Der stated (4,000,000J.
"One of the chief purposes of the
campaign was 10 distribute the Liberty
Bonds widely throughout the country
and place them. as far as possible. in
the hands of the people. This was i'm
pCrtant, because the strength OF gov
ernment finance, like the strength of
government policies rests upon the
support of the people. The large num-
Der of subscribers. especially the large
number of small subscribers, is most
CERTIFYING, and indicates that the in
terest of the people was aroused as
never before in an issue of bonds.
Public Feeling Shown
THE widespread distribution OF the
bonds, and the great amount Of the
oversubscription constitute an eloquent
and conclusive reply TO the enemies OF
the country, who claimed that the
heart of America was not in this war.
The result, OF which every citizen may
well be proud. reflects the patriotism
and the determination of the American
people TO fight for the vindicstion of
outraged American rights. the speedy
restoration OF peace and the establish
ment OF liberty throughout the world.
"The Congress pledged all the re
sources of America 10 bring the war 10
a successful termination. The issue just
closed will serve as an indication o. the
temper and purpose of the American
neople. and Of the manner in which they
may be expected 10 respond to future
calls of their country for the necessary
credits to carry on the war.

The abolition of the German titles Of

something is fundamentally wrong with
the country when, TO quote a worker,
"it took the bloody war to get one a de-
cent living, though labor is just as val
liable to the country in peace time as it
is now" Then there is increased oppo-

which the country is run.
Besides these questions, confined

I shall not soon forget the benefits derived

Godfrey. Forest Grove DRAGON

Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as filter
and remove from the blood poison GUS
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
md women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize tn at rheuma.
tism, diabetes or even Brfght's dis
ease may result.
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys arc weak, disordered or
inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
~ and surely and have given relief
in cases OF ten years standing.
