Setting the Example for Food Economy.


II we are in for an indefinite period of still
higher living cost-as a~result of the war, the
sooner we adjust ourselves to requrments, the
better, and to this end the example that is being
set in Washington official circles ora return to
the simple life is both timely and salutary
At the latest cabinet dinner, attended by the
president, the menu was, we are told, limited to
three courses and it goes without saying that
none of the guests suffered from lack of variety
on the table OF went hungry On the contrary,
it is reasonable inference that the three-course
dinner is quite sufficient to satisfy all the inner
wants, and to do so in a way to avoid the after
effects of ovefeatng and also to put brake on
the too common waste of food.
The example set by the higher ups" however,
will be useless If it is not followed in degree by
our people all down the line. 1t is accepted al
most as an axiom that large part of the high
cost of living is the cost of high living and that
the food that is removed from the table, uneaten,
in the average household, would easily more than
suffice to keep another person well-fed.
These food economies have been forced upon
the inhabitants Of all European countries, neutral
countries as well as belligerent countries. We
must not delude ourselves that we can take part
in the war without feeling the necessity of hus-
banding the food supply and making what we eat
count for nutrition rather than for simply tickling
the appetite

Opium Throttled in China.

An event Of great Importance to the Orient
and world, at large signalizes the advance of
democracy in China. The young republic has
definitely throtted the opium business, virtually
thrown off white mans burden" imposed and
perpetuated by greed. A report to the state de-
partment from Consul General Anderson at
Hong Kong records the end of the infamous
trade in the Far East The government of China
has taken over all stocks Of opium in private
hands, which will be converted into medicinal
extracts. Cultivation and importation are also
forbidden, thus bringing to close struggle of
"a quarter of a century to rid the people of a
frightful European curse. The beginning of the
end occurred some fifteen years ago. when an
international agreement was made, gradually re-
ducing cultivation and exports from India. China
entered into the compact with outward zeal, but
the greed Of the Manchu dynasty prevented prac-
tical results. Power exercised from above gave
help to the needs of the multitude below. Not
until the republic became living force was the
voice from below needed and restricted cultiva-
ton and use vigorously enforced. The gratifying
result officially announced constitutes a mighty
uplift for China and distinct triumph for celcs-
tia democracy. .s##

Storyette Of the Day.
HERE AND THERE.

An English inventor has patented device
to push a printers hands out OF danger
while feeding a platen press.
A man who boasted he could 'blow up
anything from a tin can to a battleship'
was accepted at Chicago for the marine
corps. He is a professional dynamiter.
The Aero Club Of America recently ac-
quired control of $4,000 to be offered as a
prize to the discoverer of a fuel more suit
able for aerial navigation than gasoline.
Bullion to the value Of s15,s90,7s2 was
invoieed at the American consular agency at
Cananea, Sonora. Mexico, for the United
States during 1915, compared with ss,32s,S5o
worth in 1915.
The total of gifts to Belgium from this
country has amounted to about 80, 900 900.

Repurchase of Foreign Owned Securities.

Some extremely interesting figures are given
in the monthly circular issued by the National
City Bank of New York. bearing on the amount
of foreign-owncd American securities that have
been repurchased and brought back to this coun-
try snce<thc beginning of the war.
So far as they relate to railroad stocks and
bonds, these figures are compilation made by
President Loree OF the Delaware & Hudson COM
pany, who has been conducting continuing in
qury into the movement of railroad holdings, and
indicate the cash values of these securities rcpur-
chased to January 81, last to be about 81 100000
00O Further data has been obtained from the
books of the United States Steel corporation, the
industrial concern having the largest hotatons
abroad, disclosing that in all more than $l25000-
900 of the stocks and bonds of the corporation
have been returned since the war began. The con-
cluson is that the repurchase Of the industrial Sc
curitcs municipal bonds and foreign property
holdings other than railway securities may be
reasonably estimated as not less than 5000 100000
Net gold importations, furthermore, during the
same period, have been about 81 0000000O and
the net amount of foreign loans publicly issued
in this country reaches almost $2,sO00O00O0. The
autHOTUy quOIcu, lHelcloic, HBuics 'hc totai
American securities repurchased, foreign loans
and net gold imports as, in round figures, $s,275,-
100000, and the net trade balance on merchandise
account, In round figures, $57s0,0Oo,0oo.-
These tremendous totals, to be sure, are hard
to grasp, but they may conduce to faint idea Of
what has been happening. The United States has
practically paid off all Of its debts owed in Europe
and at the same time, has taken Europe's surplus
gold, and become creditor Of Europe in the
huge amount of the foreign bonds taken here.

War Opens Way for Woman.

Over in Europe war opened the way for
woman, through which she sprang, eager to show
her ability and capacity for matching man on his
own ground, and well has she taken advantage Of
it. Will we not have the same experience here?
In field and factory, in city and country the
British and French and German woman has
donned the trousers and taken up the tools the
men laid down and with them she has wrought
out for herself new place in the scheme of
things. Tramway conductor, railway porter, post
man--s that right? And now she has scaled the
last wall of medieval prejudice and ranged her
self in the last trench wherefrom egotistical mas
culinity had banshed her. English churches,
finding their chors disrupted by the call of Mars,
first had recourse to the aged and decrepit, but
the cracked and cacaphonous voices of the sub
sttutes produced stch dissonance that 1t seemed
better to go without the vested choir at all Yet
the service required something Of the sort and
finally rector less timid than the rest ventured
to admit women into the professional She must
wear the surplice and otherwise demean herself
as II she were really not woman, but the an
thems Of the church now swell up on the sweet
soprano or mellow contralto tones of clear-voiced
women and nothing Is left for her to conquer in
England save seat in Parliament The last
barrier Of prejudice, corroded by the biting acid
OF war, has given way and woman sings as we'll as
works for Europe's safety
