FOOD CONSERVATION HINTS

The following is an excellent article

One ounce of sugar less than usual
q day would not be much of a sacri.
flee, but 1t would mean much of a
saving. One ounce less a day would
save 1,1S5,000 tons a year, and that
would keep sugar plentiful and cheap
for US and our Allies. Remember,
and save your ounce. 49,.
This is a short year for wheat and
a good one for potatoes. A baked po-
tato equals a slice of wheat bread as
food. Therefore, eat the baked po-
tato and save the slice of bread.
America and her Allies must not
run out of wheat, meat or fats. II
they do the war is lost. ConseIva-
ton in America will save starvation
in Europe.
No diminution, but substitution
that is all food conservation asks
Bran meal mullins for breakfast and
corn meal bread or johnny-cake for
lunch will send wheat to the men in
the trenches.
Two meatless meals each day
would be good thing for many and
no injury to any. ~.
Foodless and less food are two very
different things. Some of us can af-
ford to eat less food in order that
none may be foodHess.

to win the war and save our liberties

There are two great classes OF
foods: First-Those that supply fuel
or energy, and. second, those that are
for bodily growth and repair. If the
food conservation propaganda can
lodge this idea in peoples minds and
along with it the knowledge OF a welt
balanced diet, it will have conferred
lasting benefit upon the American

THE fundamental limitations Of the

THE aeroplane possesses potentialities
of offensive in the air. on the sea sur

they can attack submarines. The

Madrid, June ia movement for
radical rebuilding Of the whole politi-
cal edifce in Spain is gaining adher-
ents everywhere. Discomfort with ex-
isting methods has been long general
among the most advanced liberals
and reformers of other parties Of the
Left Internal and external difficult
ties arising from the war have served
TO heighten and increase II, and II has
gained among other parties. Even
former Premier Maura, leader OF the
conservatives, agrees that there is
ground for dissatisfaction.
Senor Romeo, editor Of the Core
spondence de Espana, summed up the
general grievance in a forcible arti-
Gle recently. He wrote:
I'VE ought to sustain the soldiers in
refusing TO be downtrOdden d moment
longer. The soldiers have shown us
the only way possible, an organization
our point regardless OF sacrifice.
The whole of Spain, with the eX-
ception of a thousand families who
monopolize the sweets Of office, Is
sick to death Of the fsvoritism which
condemns the country to external
signal to rise like one man and to do
away with il forever. Favoritism is
the canker which is killing Spain and
will put an end to her unless We put
an end to it."
The officers defense committee de-
mand briefly that rewards should be
proportionate to service, and that pro-
motion should be by merit, with due
regard to the claims OF seniority. Their
action was on the whole well received
by the public. and brought about the
downfall OF the Prieto administration.
Defense committees of all sorts OF
professions and trades, as well as OF

In the meanwhile there is a growing
movement in favor of the reopening OF
Parliament. Three Liberal Deputies

the senators and deputies protesting
against the closing Of the cortes under

|OIL AND COAL
| MONOPOLY HIT
nWarningAbout Extortion-
ate Prices Navy Depart
ment Sets Figures.

The Navy Department yesterday
moved with a strong hand to prevent
the men in control of oil and coal
naval necessities. reaping extortion-
ate prices through the nations wal
needs.
Secretary Daniels. in a form letter
that they will have to supply the
navy with coal at S2.33 per ton. the
government to pay freight charges tc
seaboard. The conference of coal
operators had been holding out fol
$2.95 per ton. with the navy facing ar
immediate demand for $4,000 tons
Oil operators were told that theiI
product will be paid for by the gov
ernment at 50 cents per barrel, the
last price paid. Since war was de.
clared the operators had boosted the
figure for the navy from Sl.5S to SIS
per barrel.
In announcing his action in the oil
stated that the Federal Trade Com.
mission will Immediately undertake
an investigation to determine IL the
prices set by the navy are equitable
II they are found to be too low the
government will reimburse the pro,
ducers for the amount between the
price set by Mr.. Daniels and that
agreed upon by the Federal Trade
Commission.
The action of the Navy Department
in dealing with the coal and oil fac.
tors is only subsidiary to the action
which the governne ent Is taking with
regard to steel. In connection witt
the Goethals-Denman controversy, Il
was learned yesterday that the Navy
Department forced steel mills to re,
duce their price on armor plate far
below the figure originally asked. In
the same connection it was discovered
that, making hay while the sun shone
the interests which had opposed the
government armor plate plant, now
building, made a last effort TO clean
up big profits on war orders before
the national factory should be in
operation.
Secretary Daniels declined to com
ment on the Goethals-Denman row
but told his own experience.
To carry out its vast building pro
gram the navy needed thousands oi
tons of armor plate. The steel man
ufacturers demanded $3.50 a ton
When the navy refused to pay II they
reduced their price to $3.50 a ton. Sec
retary Daniels and his experts fig
ured IL out and set $3.50 ton as the
figure they would pay.
And that leaves a very nice profit, y
said Secretary Daniels yesterday.
The cost of production with a reas-
enable profit should be the basis or
which all government contracts are
filled. No consideration should bt
given the current market price of any
necessary commodity"
