STRIKING FOR HIGHER SALARY

The Capital Journal asserted that the strike of those
working in the shpyards of the Northwest reason
able. It strike for increased wages and closed
shop and was settled with the increase of wages The
Capital Journal is not in the habit of making flesh Of
and fish Of another and hence insists that in principle
there difference between the strike of the shpyard
workers. and the demand Of President Kerr of the O. A.
c. that his salary be increased he will quit Indeed
his action would be than that of the striking ship
yard workers. for they paid wages that left but lit
tie surplus after their families were taken care Of
President Kerr is not situated since he has salary Of
$1,000 year. He may hold that his duty is pointed out
by the salary offered, but is it?
President Kerrs salary should not be raised at this
time if for other reason because he asks under the
conditions existing He paid the highest salary of
any state offocal employe He receives $500
than the governor who has to look after the whole state
$1,000 more than the justices of the supreme court the
secretary of state state treasurer Does it require
more ability to college than state? Is it true
that only high salaries good men? If why
not raise the salaries Of all the state officials? If Pres
dent Kerrs salary is raised to prevent him quitting his
ob then it necessarily follows that every aborng man
who demands increase of pay should receive it, to pre-
vent his throwing up his work.

tomb of Samuel being bombarded by the Turks. In
Samuers DAYS nothing heavier or deadly than a
spear or sword was used as war weapon. Now it is
different and Samuel if he could for few moments come

Pure Food Expert Tells How to
Reduce Big Waste.
Would Make Everybody Eat
Whole Wheat Flour.
HAVE TWO MEATLESS DAYS
Doing without Potatoes and
Vegetables Poor Economy.
Grain Used for Booze Would
Keep Thousands.

Washington, April 21-Establish i'm
mediately two meatless days a week.
Prohibit use of grain in the manu-
facture of whisky and beer.
Prohibit milling of white flour or
refined cornmeal.'
Compel use of whole wheat flour
and whole cornmeal.
Taboo polished rice; substitute the
unpublished.
These are, epitomized, some OF the
hints in the war diet which DIR. Harvey
w. Wiley original pure food exponent,
gives to the nation. Such a war diet
as Doctor Wiley proposes would not
only conserve the nations food supply
immeasureably, but it would result in
a far healthier nation, Doctor Wiley
contends
White Flour Wasteful.
I'm milling white flour" Doctor
Wiley said, I'VE throw away nearly
one-third of the grain. By milling
whole wheat we can turn two bushels
of grain into as much flour as three
bushels now make.
Whole wheat flour is far more
wholesome than white, for it contains
all the vital elements that have been
taken from white flour.
I'VE eat meat to supply the vital
elements which have been thrown out
of our bread. If we will keep them in
the bread we can get along with less
meat.
American distillers and breweries
use enough grain every year to feed
twelve million people-one-eighth of
Americas population.
Manufacture of white flour and re-
fined corn meal wastes enough to feed
twenty-five million more.
Reduce Meat Needs.
"Those who eat whole grains, such
as oatmeal, wheat and corn, don't need
so much meat.
It's poor economy to do without
potatoes and other vegetables, even
tho their price may be high.
Its mistake to eat rice as a sub
stitute for potatoes. Polished rice is
little better than poison, and in many
cities it's impossible to buy unpublished
rice.
Il urge every one to eat less sugar,
because sugar is a fuel that only those
working at day labor can use without
harm.
And above all, 1 advise p1enty Of
pure milk for the children of the ma
ton. There is no better food than
milk"

SOME BENEDICTS STAY
If Married Guards Can Support Fam
lilies Too, They Can Remain.

Washington, April 21.-Discharges
from the National Guard will not be
granted enlisted men solely because
they are married, according to in
structions sent out to adjutant gen.
erals by the militia bureau. Where a
soldier has independent means which
will prevent his family from becom-
ing a charge on the government he
will not be mustered out.
The war department has been
flooded since the original order was
issued with inquiries and protests
from both officers and men off the
National Guard many of whom have
been discharged against their wishes
because they were married men.
A supplemental statement of policy
was necessary as in numerous cases
National Guard regiments are being
reduced to mere skeleton organiza-
tons by the rigid application of the
dependent family rule.
The war department is resolved
however, to relieve the government of
the necessity of taking care of the
families of men who join the colors.
More than 100000 was disbursed
in this way as a result of the Mexican
border mobilization.
