Haig in Flanders.

Haig in smashing assault in Flanders has brought
forth what is generally credited the greatest victory
OF the war. Germany in desperate attempt to stem
the irresistible British machine is sacrificing
in wholesale lots But their resistance has crumbed
them the point where another strategic retreat ap
pears imminent
With such news resulting America can we'll forgive
the ban from the war front that existed sew
era days prior to the dispatches telling of the Haig
victory.
Superiority of men, guns, numbers and morale is
slowly, but surely beginning to tell on the Teutonic
forces The British commander-in-chief is demonstrate
ing that the touted German line is not mpregnable as
told by some excited American officers
short while ago.
And there is twofold victory in the success of
Hag. for by his intensive attack he is preventing the
Kaiser from sending re-enforcements brace up the
faltering Austrians the Italian 'front.' nor can he
help stop the steady Russian offensive behind Riga
The Kaiseris facing critical situation and stopping

much in favor of the English leader.

viii We Go Back to the Dinner Pail1

Washington needs a 1000 oictator
And the lack of one is going to force us back to
those days when we carried lunch to work with
u.s. in a dinner pail.
The American people are VIGOROUSLY lazy Not
the laziness that is born of the hookworm for Amer
leans are live enough for the big things but in the
little incidents of everyday existence, we are
prone to let George do it." .t ..
That is why during the past twenty years, we have
grown more and more accustomed to depending on
the dairy lunch or restaurant for MONDAY snack
rather than botherng with the parcel of sandwiches
and home decaces put up by the wife or the mother
That is why lunch rooms have sprung up in every
block of the downtown section. And why most of
them have enjoyed prosperity
But unless they are careful during this hectic furry
of price raising, the days of good many of them
numbered
Prices have advanced considerably during the past
year because of increased production costs We have
got to accept such increases. But the lunch room
is only adding the original increase but is
'tacking on a much larger one of his own.
Several days ago We were told that the milk pro-
ducers and dealers had agreed price of 50 cents
gallon and have expected and accepted this raise
down the line to the consumer.
A number of lunch rooms however, have raised
the price of glass of milk to cents There is about
half of pint of milk to the ordinary lunch room
glass. This means that for gallon of milk they
receive sIa8 Thus between the producers price to
the there is profit of o5 cents, nearly 800
per cent above production cost.
Are the people going to stand for this sort of
price boostingl
One lunch room in the downtown section at one
time cut its pies into FIVE Slices each slice selling for
Now the pie is cut into eight slices for
the price.
In the nationally famous Childs restaurants, sew
era months ago veal outlets listed at cents.
Then they raised to quarter, which the people
paid. But this not enough They have now sub
sttued beef for veal with reduction in the price
These instances are but typical Of others
The people are being gouged There may be remedy
Prices are high enough in the grocery stores but the
difference between home buying and lunch room buy
ing is great that the most logical remedy is to
GO BACK TO THE DINNER PAIL.
