WHY NO HELP FROM ALBANY?

nAEAGRAPts from the food Law Of tho state Of New York,
rejected aud printed by Tho Evening world to remind the
State Food Commission what II CAN rather than what 1t can't
do 20 protect New York consumers from the continued raids OF retail
food proh'co-s, have produced encouraging results.
Following Tho Evening Worlds lead, oven the Federal Food
Board suddenly bcgns to quote from Federal and State Statutes 20
provo that food administrations arc not 10 povefless hs they have
toomel 10 MISUNDERSTANDING the food administrators Themselves.
Nothing could be more promising than a timely resolve on the
u1rt Of food regulators TO find out what is in the laws behind them
Srj how much those laws give them the power to do rather than the
excuse for not doing.
For food administrations TO begin to declare and define their,
powers Is the fret hopeful step toward exercising them.
The strange thing about the Food Commission Of this State lie
that although the act which created il was demanded, shaped (o far
as might be- and driven through n special session of the Legislature by
the present State Administration, there has Of late been little effort.
from that quarter to keep up its momentum.
What the New York State Food Commission has badly needed
and still needs is-push.
Why is none applied from Albany? What has happened to
Gov. WlatmsD'S earlier zeal for a programme of genuine food control
in the State Of New York?

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

a TIMELY example of practical patriotic service comes from
IA TIE headquarters Of the United Mine Workers of America.
Ordinarily it has been the custom to quit work in the
coal mines during the entire week Of Christmas holidays because the
market fer fuel could be met without working during that period"
BIT ths year the situation is very different. Striving to keep
up with tie first demands Of war, the country is overtaken by a coal
famine. Suffering in many sections is acute. Industries will have TO
close thtir plants and throw thousands out Of work unless coal sup
plies arc forthcoming. The Fuel Administration declares the Nation
needs at least 5~0,o00,00o tons OF coal over and above the normal
output tor the year.
In this emergency "the coal miner is being looked to to do his bit
10 keep too factories and railroads in operation and the householders
and public institutions warm"
Therefore" concludes a statement issued yesterday By the
officers OF the miners organization "out OF consideration for
the public need W are calling on the United Mine Workers Of
America TO take only two holidays, Christmas and New Years
Our patriotic duty demands that this be done. II viii no a
service the people Of the Nation will appreciate. We earnestly
urge local Presidents, Secretaries and Mine Committees very.
where to SCI that this holiday request Is fulfilled"
Let Labor unions in other industries throughout the country
chow, when occasion arises, the same spirit Of duty to the Nation first
and it will be not only "a service the people of the Nation will appre.

relating 20 my vocation
The whole course OF my llfo was
changed by n few words SPOKEN 20 mo
by our family doctor When as II small
boy ! was attending one OF the print
tive "~deestrict' schools In Alburg.
VT. We lived n mile away from the
red school house and three miles from
the Post Once.
In this iBolated section my parents
owned II forty-acre farm. and with
the exception OF u little tea and at
rare intervals Il little sugar IN place
OF maple sugar. which was home
grown. We 'livod on tho land" What
we called coffee a made from
parched wheat or corn.
Our winter clothing was mado
from wool supplied by a dozen sheep.
first spun and then woven by hand.
Flax from our garden was converted
into summer garments. The spinning
wheel was rarely silent day or night,
for even the thread We used was spun
at home. The FIRST time my father
exchanged his wool for cloth seemed
to us an advance 10 q higher state OF
civilization.
Our homo life was that OF self-re-
spectlng. honest, religious, hard
working people, very confined and
narrow, with no leisure for my
parents 10 think beyond tho task OF
| Keeping their i've children clothed
| ana fed. There was little time FOR
reading 80 we had few booze.
Raised IN such u~n!nspirlns Bur.
| roundings ! did not visualize life be-
vond our " narrow world.
In the district school there was N.
tie thought OF higher education. How
ever, one day, my friend, the family
physician. who had a wider expert.
enee than the rest OF US. advised N.
70 keep on With my education and
