Beware the Alien Enemy.
(Rutland Herald.

Foul Il. Adams citizens made atidavits
declaring that Siegmund Bloch, an alien
enemy. should bc released and permitted
to 20 MS ways under surveillance Whie
nothing has been shown indicating that
Bloch activities were Of a dangerous
character, the time Is coming when We
can be - lcnient only al tic expense Of
our national safety
Probably the least dangerous enemy is
the alien who betays his sympathics and
pIciudlees by open statements. The more
obvious and stupid ol eur national one
mics alone fix public attention On them
selves by such deeds / i. the chap who
makes public protcstation> &c loyalty ald

the youthful contour and velvety
SmOOthness of complexion. Every
woman hates to see her face wrinkled

has experimental with some sort of
patent remedy in the effort either to

As a matter Of fact, the most Cf-

Let her take one ounce of pure pow

U. S. WILL FEED

Each Soldier Receives BIZ
Weekly Ration-Ger-
mans Agree to Plan.

!. The United States has forehandedly
'srepared for the adequate care Of
tie prisoners taken by Germany In
the trench raid Of Saturday morn
ing. Each man will receive q bi-
weekly ration for which he will per-
scnally receipt. In thls way the
United States will not only know
that their men within the enemy's
lines are well fed, but will know
that they have not been disposed

OF the prisoners of other nationalities.
These ARRANGEMENTS were completed
months ago through the Red Cross
and International headquarters at
Geneva. The Germans have agreed
rthat packages OF definite siss and
keight. and containing a definite and
varied ration sufficient to sustain
confined men In good health will be
sent through to the prison camps
every two weeks. An individual pack

all OF them In the most comforta-
bic surroundings, reprisals could easi-
ly be taken for any undue hardships
inflicted IN our own men.
No further news had been received
az the War Department yesterday
with regard to the first skirmish of
the war. Secretary Baker again re-
iterated tho statement that the trench
held was used for instructional pur-
poses only.
In view of this fact Il is consid-
cred not unlikely that shift may
be made in the location OF the Amer
ican faIces. According to the in
formation at hand here few OF the
men abroad have yet been subjected

BAKERS UNDER
FULL CONTROL
OF FOOD LAWS
Hoover Now in Position to
Start Price-lowering
Drive.

Decision that a baker is a manu-
facturer will. it was learned at the
United States Food Administration
last night. give Herbert c. Hoover a
weapon with which to beat down the
universally high prices of bread.
Classification of bakers as manu-
facturers puts them under the law
with regard to licenses, and a procla-
nation is to be made within a few
days declaring bankers must be
licensed.
Once licensed. the thousands OF
bakers OF the country will come under
full control Of the Food Administra-
ton. and prices can be regulated
arbitrarily. Thus far. the only con-
troll over bread prices has been an
indirect control through regulation of
wheat and flour prices. This has not
served to lower the cost of bread to
the consumer, as extensive research
by the statistical division of the
Food Administration has shown.
While waiting for the licensing law
TO come into effect on November ].
the Food Administration made some
experiments with a new brand of
bread. which was expected to be just
as nutritious as the present wheat
bread. but much cheaper. 1t was
found impracticable. under present
conditions to produce a cheaper loaf.
Not on War Bread Diet.
Bakers in this country almost uni
versally make their bread of floW.
yeast. water. sugar, salt and lard.
As recently as five years ago, six
teen ounce loaf made of those in
gradients sold wholesale at four cents.
and retail at five, in moderate size
cities. Now the same loaf costs from
nine to eleven cents.
Hoover has said publicly that he did
not believe it necessary or advisable
to put the country on a war bread
diet. BY war bread. he meant the
bread that England and France are
eating.
If bakers are making more profit
than seems warrantablP. prices will
speedily come down, it was predicted
last night by Food Administration Of
fiCials. II the bakers. on the other
hand. have to pay so much more than
formerly for their flour. yeast. sugar,
salt and lard that present prices al
low them only a fair profit, action
will be taken toward lowering the
prices Of bread ingredients. and bread
prices lowered later.
With bread under control the last
basic foodstufr will be in the hands OF
the Food Administra ton. Il was said
last night the administrations is now in
position to start a general price-low-
erinS drive all along the line.
