of legislation during the present
administration. 1t had to do with
the rate increases asked by the
trunk lines, the eight hour law for
railroad men, the various and sum
dry laws regulating and otherwise
affecting railroads and transporta-
ton companies and every commod-
ity of life and business that is car
ried by the railroads. Lastly, it
handled the war risk insurance
bill that is to be the last important
enactment of this session of con-
gress.
I'm assuming the Craftsmanship
of this committee, the Eighth dis
trict congressman begins bis work
With ripe experience and valuable
information, and he is regarded as
well poised and equipped for the

seamen and for our valiant allies.
No one is expected or asked to
eat less, but more wisely. These
things are needed and will be
needed in increasingly large
amounts for shipments over seas
If we are to win the war. The
American housewives are asked to
substitute potatoes and corn for
flour bread as far as possible, leav-
ing larger quantity of wheat for
export. They are asked to substi-
tute beans and peas and other por-
items for meats and to use more
poultry and less bacon and beef
and mutton. Sugar is scarce ia
Europe. For months, the French
and. British hage been on allow.
ances4 that is.less than One-6fth of
the normal consumption per capita
Of this country. The people are
asked to use more sorghum and
syrups and less sugar.
This is a movement that should
appeal both to the patriotism and
the spirit of thrift OF the Ameri-
can people. The more fats and
sugars and bacon and beef saved
the better off they will be financi-
ally aud at the same time they will
be just as healthy. Not only that,
they will be rendering an inestim-
able service to the nation and to
the heroic allies, who have for three
long and desperate years been
fighting ocs battles. the battles for
civilization and humanity.
Reports from III over the state
indicate that The movement is

however, to provide them 10 suf-

will, therefore, be necessary, be-
ginning November 9, 1917, when
