Control of i httt Of their ship
Food Problems. T nent food ahd bil i as re
ported from the House committee on
agriculture, gives the administration
adequate powers to deal with both.
The general Idea is to direct shipments
so that they will go where they are
needed. The purpose will be not SO
much as break up Gluts as to prevent
them For example, if Cleveland has
all the POTATOES it needs. there is moth
ing to prevent farmers who have al
ways used Cleveland as their market
from shipping still more potatoes TO
that point. so that some or them VIII
rot for lack of a market, while in chi
cago, perhaps. a potato scarcity is not
far off. food administration when
knows what the potato supply IS IN
each place. and has power TO regulate
shipment. will easily prevent these mar
ket gluts - .
In Germany it has been found posi-
BILE to regulate the distribution OF
foods except in SO far as the consumer
goes direct to the producer: lhat ls'
food which goes over railroadS' is
handled by commission men. Whole-
salers and retailers. is easily regulated
through these agencies. That does not
mean that their business Is seriously
injured: they are allowed TO exercise
their legitimate economic tunctlohs III
the distribution of foods. but their OPP
portunities for speculation are renueed
to minimum. 1t has been FOUND I'M
POSSIBLE however, to prevent the lai
mer from doing what he pleases win
what he produces. The result rs that the
only classes which have had more thah
the war ration to eat in Germany have
been the farmers who raised FOOD. ana
the rich people who bought it from the
farmers For example, German farm
ers. instead of selling their barley. ana
so putting it into the usual chahneis
of trade at the fixed price. have often
fed it to their geese. Geese in Germany
bring as much $50 apiece. ana are
sold by the farmers directly TO those
who can afford to pay for them

Effort to Regulate
Food Consumption.

food means the reduction of the diet TO
Effort to Regulate logical norm.
Food Consumption. im nat ii. Of
waste. In most Of the belligerent coun-
tries rationing has been adopted, so
that it is against the law for any one
to eat more than he needs to keep him
alive. This country is nowhere near
the condition that makes rationing
necessary. but the general purpose OF
the educational campaign which VIII
be directed to housewives by the food
administrator is the same as that of
rationing. Thus Mr.. Hoover breaches
1.-The gospel of the clean plate and the
individual service of the same" which
means that each one must be given
only as much as he will eat to the last
morsel, and that no more must be put
before him as a temptation. The heap
ed-up family platter and the steaming
vegetable dish from which each one
may take as much as he pleases must
from now on be considered unpatriotic,
for the sight of food tempts to glut-
tony.
This stfnting of the diet will prob
ably be a difficult thing to accomplish
by educational methods. but the food
administration may do a great work
by it's campaign to teach housewives
what foods to use at certain seasons
and how to prepare them, for American
women are both quick and anxious to
learn 1t is doubtful whether any one
in this country is eating any less than
he was before the declaration OF war,
unless he has to. but already the re.
suits Of the campaign for the use of
more cornmeal is getting results. The
trade has gotten behind it with dis
play advertisements of special brands
Of cornmeal, and advertising never
fails of it's effect in this country.
