CURRENT COMMENT.

There is no local issue so important
as that of preserving the vegetables
to be grown in amateur gardens this
summer, and no suggestion for meet
ing it so sensible as organizing small
local canning factories and school boy
and school girl forces, under supervi-
sion, to do the work. There is moth
ing in which the Commercial club, the
schools and other organizations can
be as serviceable as in promoting this
kind Of organization, placing the
canning factories near the producers.
If this is not arranged what will
happen is that for a brief period in
midsummer the markets will be glut-
ted with fresh vegetables, prices tenn
porarily will touch bottom, people will
have more food that they need, or else
vegetables raised will rot in the
ground because of the inexperience in
methods of the amateur city
farmers who raise them, and in a few
weeks the supplies will be gone and
the scarcity will be renewed, to con-
tinue all winter and spring. There |
is plenty of time for canning organ
izations to be formed in every local |
ity.

| Federal authorities at Washington
need no further evidence of the fore
stalling of markets by spectators and
middlemen in food products. The testi-
mony and evidence are overwhelming
What the federal authorities have to
consider is not obtaining proof of the
need for federal action, but simply
how to act. Public opinion stands be-
hind the authorities in any effective
action they conclude to take, but pub
lie opinion favors action without the
unnecessary delay of "a hours. Every
day that control of markets by mid
dlemen and holders of food products
goes on, the public pays many million
dollars of extortion. The big markets
are shown to be controlled by as das-
tardly, as reasonable and unpatriotic
a greed, as cruel an avarice, as hu-
man cupidity has ever exhibited in a
time of emergency. We denounce the
cruelty of Prussianism. The cruelty
of the food speculator and exploiter
is precisely of the same character. He
cars not how much suffering he causes
to the wage Garner whose family is
unable to satisfy its natural hunger.
If all food exploiters could be draft
ed and placed in the front line, they
would receive a needed lsson in the
of patriotism. The federal
government means to act in the most
effective way, confiscating stored
food where necessary and fixing max
mum prices. The sooner this action
$ taken the sooner the relief to which
he public is entitled. There seems no
'ther present cure for the greed of the
God spectators.

time? The young man who enlists
gives his all, for he puts his life up
as bulwark to be snuffed out in a
breath from an enemy's bullet. How
about the rich man, too old for ac-
tive service, sitting behind his pile
Of gold? If he should even give his
all in wealth would he equal the
sacrifices of the young man who goes
to the trenches? If wealth kicks on
the war taxes, how about the young
fellows who are taxed to their last
drop of blood? Who is going to pay
the war tax anyway?

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move
the bowels. They are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.

The other day mother was heard
to say should her son go to the war
"Oh, it would break my heart to have
him go, but if he is needed l can't
tell him to stay" There is the Amer
lean mother talking. She is not say
ing much, that mother, about war, one
way or another. She will wear lit
tie flag over her heart, and hang one
over her doorstone. She will be ac-
tive in whatever service happens to
fall to her share. She will pray with
out ceasing that the European horror
will end before it swallows up Ameri-
can blood and Drawn. But if her boy
is needed she will tell him to go. And
her heart will be breaking. That is
the kind Of mothers that America
produces.

ARGUMENT

poor Joe is obliged to sail without seeing his
sweetheart Nance.
Julia tells Nance of Joe's love for her and
Nance is heartbroken. The Barnstapoole
girls, having quarreled with the sailors, pre-
tend Indifference at their departure.
Act II. Takes place one year hence The
townfolks are waiting on the quay for the re-
turn of the Bounding Billow." The Barn
stapooe girls meeting party of artists down
from town for the day, take a malicious
pleasure in going to welcome back the
Bounding Billow" accompanied by the ar
lists. The sailors who during their long alb
sence from home had quite recovered from
their love for JULIA are much chagrined to
find that the Barnstapoole girls are ap-
parently quite Indifferent to their return
Even Julia will not speak to them.
Bill Salt has the unpleasant duty of ex-
planning his mistake to Julia and offering
himself in Joe's place. Julia at first spurns
him Indignantly, but afterward accepts him.
The happy return of Barnabas Lee releases
Bill Salt from the moose he had cast about
his own neck Joe soon finds Nance and ex-
plains the situation to her. The artists re-
turn to town and the sailors and girls become
reconciled. The scene ends with the promise
OF many happy weddings in the near future

Act l. Julia, the naughty belle of Barnsta-
poole, is as proud as she is beautiful. All the
sailor lads are hopelessly in love with her, but
she scorns them ALL On the eve of the de-
parture of the Bounding Billow" for years
voyage, Barnabas Lee wandering artist
comes to town and falls in love with Julia,
who returns his affection. The sailor lads,
driven to despair by their rivals success, plan
to kidnap Barnabas, stow him aboard the
Bounding Billow" and carry him to sea.
They are successful in their scheme and the
townfolk returning from seeing the ship sail,
announce to Julia that Barnabas was on
board her.
In the meantime, Nance-a gentle damsel
is loved by Joe Stout. Joe is as bashful as
he is honest, and fearing repulse he induces
Bill Salt to propose to Nance in his name
Bill promises to perform the task, but unfor-
tunately he meets Julia first, and, thinking
her the object of Joes affections, delivers the
bashful suitor's message to her.
Julia is great believer in the old saying,
Zone in hand is better far than two that in
the bushes are" She tells Bill to bid his
friend try his luck year hence. Bill, de-
lighted at his supposed success, seeks Joe
and informs him of the result, only to learn
of the sad mistake he has made. The whs-
tie sounds from the ship "All Aboard" and
