Need Food Control at Once.

The same day that brought TO the
American people the glad tidings of
bumper crops, production of food sta
Piles far beyond expectation, saw in the
Senate in Washington the agreement
reached yesterday to end debate on the
food control bill on Saturday and to put
that vital measure TO vote.
The news of the food crops is the best
news the people could have. Early in
the year there was fear that the product
of 1917 would be little above that of
1915, if as good Costs of seed and fer
ter was followed by backward spring.
Now it appears that the staple crops
this year will exceed by l,0o0,000,000
bushels those of last. OF wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye and white potatoes, the
July estimate is 5977 100000 bushels, as
against 4,9ss, 100000 bushels in 1916.
In the past five years, only the record
crop of 1915 exceeded the present one,
and the average of those five years, in
GLIDING both 1915 and the other bumper
crop of 1912, was 500,000000 bushels be-
low the 1917 estimate.
These crop figures mean that the farm
ers the country over have given heed to
the appeal of president and people; that
they have increased their acreage and
have labored to secure the utmost from
each acre. They mean that we shall be
able TO do much TO relieve the world |
wide food shortage, which is the grav-
est problem of worldwide war.
But that we have the crops is not |
enough 1t is our duty now to see that
they are not wasted, either in the indi-
vidual home OF through the failure or
of the. complex machinery of
1t is our duty to see that
Every bushel is utilized, is eonscripted to
10 its full work of sustenance.
That duty will be pre-eminently in
he direction of Mr.. Hoover and his food
staff To enable them TO
perform it the prompt enactment of the
God control bill is necessary.-Boston

The elbows and the throat were excuse

the pantry, even without the spice cook

instance, there was the chin above the
throat, a rounded chin that was browner
than the throat and just where the
