The BREWERY THEFT FROM SOLDIERS

Nhile the brewers and distillers are
'o@1Fing congress desperately and pay
ing huge sums for fun page adver-
tisements to those who will accept
them attempting to show the food
values Of intoxicating liquors. that
noted food and nutrition expert. Prof.
Irving Fisher states that the food
waste in fermeuted and distilled
liquors is sufficient. If conserved. to
supply a pound loaf Of bread every day
to 1000, 900 men. And the professor
credits the booze manufacture with
the food value which it is able to pro-
duce from its waste by feeding 20
cattle, etc. The net waste IS 1900 900
loayes a day.
The brewers in their advertisements
and thru their supporters make the
statement that the grain or food values
thus wasted are less than per cent
Of the total grain crop. But Prot.
Fisher asserts that:
The truth is that 1900. 900 laayes Of
bread is y per cent Of the total food
values consumed ny human beings il
the United States. over 10 per cent Cf
the total consumption OF ,breadstuff.; in
the United States. l3 per cent OF the
wheat consumed N the United states.
p per cent Of the wheat exported from
the United States IN 1915
The food waste would give every
French and English soldier a pound
loaf Of bread every day. And we are
beng urged to produce desperately
that we may furnish those fighting men
food.
Now comes Elizabeth Tilton in the
Survey with the statement that the
caIories, food values, IN the foodstuffs
destroyed annually in brewing and dis
tHins are sufficient TO support an
army Of over 100000 hardy men for
seven years The food values de-
stroyed IN breweries alone would feed
the 100000 coo people Of the United
States for twenty days
Somebody is i%i1g, trying 70 get BY
with something. Do you honestly thin.
that Prof. Fisher and Elizabeth Tilton
with the statistics before them and the
trained skill to understand and apply
them are trying TO put something over
or do you conclude that a. destructive
business is endeavoring to keep it's
profits at the cost Of vast food de-
structi9l in time of national and in
ternational food emergency?
Which shall congress and the admin
istration in power do as your repre-
sentat!ves and servants, feed a world
with bread or fuddle it with booze and
beer during the terrible times that
have fallen upon the world?
Hadn't you best let your representa-
| tives know directly and emphatically
what your best thought and conciu-
sion is on that very vital matter?

EDITOR Is GAME.

Congratulations, Old Sport, is what
We want TO say TO Editor Hulse of the
Tama Northern, printed at Gladbrook.
The Gladbrook editor was in Marsh
alltown and loaned his car 10 a man
who drove it in front Of theater
which is dangerous 10 a crowd rushing
out in case Of fire and which Is against
the city ordinance. The car was taken
by the police and Editor Hulse had to
fix things with the chief of the blue
coats. Some editor might have Como
nome and written mean editorial
about the Marshalltown police But
Editor Huise TOOK his medicine grace
fully and Landed the MarshaIItOun pol
ice Tor the act. That is what a newspa-
perman ought to DO. When he violates
the law and is arrested he ought to
write about himself as he does about
the others, for he Is very human, very
often in error and ought 10 obey the
laws. Our hats off 10 the Gladbrook
editor who writes the story up as fol-
lows:
We drove over to MarshaIltown Sat
urday evening and loaned our car to a
driver who did not know any more
about road law than we do and after
sky-larking around town for a few
hours he left the car parked in front
OF moving picture show while he
made a small purchase in nearby
store. When we went after the car a
few minutes later policeman had
played tag" with it and on Monday
we visited the chief of police and
squared things." We are still in favor

purpose. The word must is used ad-
ViSedly. 1t is compulsory. 1t includes
sound between the ages specified. The

The burden is upon the citizen. He

although have had new piston
rings fitted, the cylinder IL not per-
ceptibly scored and do not carry

Answer: Although you have new
rings in this cylinder. we strongly
suspect that they are not well fitted.
Try removing the spark plugs from

over compression on this cylinder

BRITISH CLAIMS

SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON Mar 6.-British
claimants to the German prize ship
Appam at Newport News, won their
suit in the supreme court to regain
possession OF the vessel and cargo.
The supreme court annulled the
tariff law clause granting five per
cent discount In duties to Imports
brought in American ships or ships
OF nations with favored treaties as
unconstitutional The court held
the clause imperative because 1t
conflicted with existing treaties.
The supreme court sustained the
Judgment in the suit by Thompson
& company, New York shippers,
against Sir Charles w. Cayser and
other British ship owners, for treb-
lie damages under the Sherman law
for an alleged combination OF steam

keep on talking. There has been no
caucus among opponents of cloture,
but Republicans in the cloak rooms
predicted that the minority party
almost to a man would oppose such
a rule, and openly declared that

The biggest present asset Of those

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. e.
With President Wilson's demand for
a change in senate rules to make
impossible in the future such a fill
buster as the one by which hand
full of members defeated the armed
neutrality bill fresh in their minds,
Senate Democrats caucused today
on problem for the special ses-
sion.

pass upon appointments to office,
got down to business today

proponent of limited debate rule
for many years, is prepared to bring
the subject of cloture before the

agreement to support the rule he
proposes. II the caucus decides to

Germany or to pass the armed neu

franchisement and that fact never
has been forgotten.
Some senator's do not regard
fight over the rules at this time
as particularly opportune, because
they say there is no one in the
senate who actually can lead a ma
jority, no matter what title may be
given him and whether or not the
president puts the power of his
backing behind him.
There are 16 new senator's and
how they will stand on a cloture
rule nobody knows. It is regarded
as probable that for the time being
they will for the most part line up
with their respective parties and
apparently their coming will make
little difference in rules fight.
Unless the rules of the present
comes up at once the senate will
probably proceed as usual with con
firmation of the 1400 names which
failed last year Few of them will
lead to long discussion except oi

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. e.
1t is announced that the president
will do everything possible to find
way to arm ships. The legal de-
cision is still pending. An extra
session before July 1st to pass ap-
preparations seems uncertain. II the
senate amends the rules so prompt
action can be taken for armed neu-
trality, a session is expected within
three weeks.
Messages, apparently spontaneous,
came from all parts of the country,
criticising the senators who filibust-
cred. Senators Vardaman and Ken
yon, included in the group the pres
ident referred to as "a little group
OF wilful men," who rendered the
country contemplate before the
senate they had not been in com
plicity to prevent vote.
Senator Williams, in replying, de-
clared the president right in his
criticism and whatever was their
motive they, and not Congress. were
responsible for the United States
being helpless and contemplate.

hope that a break with Vienna will
