This was the outstanding

working in TIE war.
But this step has other advantages she
continued. at was an enormous saving Of SOL
der power. Also the women were immensely
more economical than the men.
AT the beginning Of the war the commits
,ariat was conducted on a most eXtravagant
scale. They still worked on the old idea of so
and so much bread and so and so many
ounces Of meat etc, per man. 1t was actually
given out that way, and the waste was terrific.
Il took them three years TO learn that women
could do better perhaps than dole out food au-
tomatically, according to schedule of mere
weight
aOn q journey through England two years
ago was amazed at the huge waste Of soldier
power everywhere. So many big. able bodied
men would look me over and decide whether
nv hair was black or gray before they would
sign my passport. The army bakeries in Eng
land and at the front employed Thousands Of
men who could have been released to 90 right

strong men performing tasks for which any
woman of average intelligence could have been
used.
But that is all changed now. One great
example of the power Of economic organization
shown by women is the war hospital in Endell
Street, London, run entirely by women. Here,
again. it took the women two years of plead
ing before they were allowed to show what
they could do This hospital was equipped by
women, organized by women, and is entirely
run bv women. All its officers have honorary

starvation, but like generous plenty. Three
meals day with no "piecing" is the diet rule,
and for the beginner a combination of foods is
chosen to meet whatever condition Of health he
is manfesting at the time. When he reaches
the normal condition, however, he is allowed
to make his own selections. Plenty of fresh,
pure water, except with meals, goes with the
diet. A little pure olive oil and fresh butter
are permitted. Coffee and tea are made
matter of personal preference. If one can do
without them, it is better, but if not they are
allowed.
These sample menus will give one fair
idea of vegetarian food combinations used at
different meals:

IN U. S. SERVICE
5000 Railroad Men in Topeka
Work for U. S. Now.
Government Control Goes In
Here Without a Ripple.

Nearly 5000 Topeka railway en-
ployes were automatically thrown into
federal service today when at noon
the government formally assumed
control of the American railroads.
That is the Interpretation placed upon
the presidents proclamation and
Washington press dispatches by Off
Gals here.
1t is also interpreted that workers
will be at the call of the government
should those in control see fit. Amy
steps toward putting this policy into
effect, however, are not looked for
Immediately nor for some time to
come. 1t is not thought that men en-
ployes of the selective service age will
be exempt as are those in other
branches of government service.
Kansas railroads went under
without a ripple. No changes imme-
diately are expected either in opera
ton or otherwise. Adjustment of the
solicitation forces, and possibly adver-
Using forces,> are the only changes
seen possible by officials here. Men
employees in these departments, how
ever, would be given places elsewhere
as there isn't a department in any
railroad offic here that isn't short of
help, and the changes necessary would
be few as only a small number of
men are employed in the advertising
and solicitation forces.

Get READY NOW
MOhler Advises Farmers To
Make 1918 Crop Plans Early.
New Parts for Machinery
Should Be Ordered at Once.

Secretary ]. c. Mohler, of the state
board of agriculture, today appealed
to Kansas farmers to make early
preparation for their spring work He
pointed to the necessity of early
overhauiing of all farm machinery,
prompt orders for new parts and strict
attention to future needs in view OF
TIE probable transportation troubles
of the nation during the next year.
Mothers warning to the Kansas
farmers is the first state effort to pro-
vide against machinery and probable
labor troubles during the 1918 crop
season. In his appeal to the farmer
Mohler said:
"One of the most important things
he can do is to have every implement
and machine on the place in perfect
order, with repair parts ordered and
in place at the earliest date possible.
I'm ordering repair parts for inn
plements most unusual situation
confronts us. In years past the post
office and express congestion in Kan
sas City and other implement dis
tributing centers was very bad in the
spring. frequently repair . parts
would be delayed for several days
express facilities. The result would be
that farmers would waste time that
they could use to better advantage
in the field.
THE conditions will be very grave
this year. Transportation of mail and
express is expected by all familiar
with the situation to be worse as time
goes on. insufficient trains. too few
cars, and the absence of drafted post
office and express employees all means
a serious slowing up this coming
spring.
I'm addition to the above reasons
the following considerations should be
sufficient to convince the farmer thai
he ought to order repairs early:
observation-disclosures can be repaired
during the slack season, thus better
use is made of farm labor.
"Second-No tedious delay waiting
for parts, nor time in repairing i'm
plements when weather conditions
permit working in the field.
'Third-Every minute of goot
weather in the spring should be util-
lied; there is little enough time a
best.
"Fourth-Fewer breakdowns in the
| field will occur if the implements are
repaired now while the farmers re
member to quite an extent what part.
are needed.
'Fifth-Late ordering of repairs oc
casionally means that the jobber mus
order the repair parts from the fac
tory. The result is loss of days OIL

GIVES $4,000 BOND
VAN Womer Gets Freedom Pending
Appeal of Murder Trial.

Don A Van Womer, convicted of
the murder of Martin f. Moore, sher-
if Of Morton county, has provided a
S25DO0 bond to insure his freedom
pending action on his appeal to the
STATE supreme court. The $25,OOO
bonn was certified to the supreme

Van Womer was a real estate agent
in Norton county. He killed Sheriff
Moore in 1916 following an attempt to
arrest Van Womer for disturbing the
peace. So intense was the feeling in
Morton county that a change of venue
was=secured and Van Womer was tried
and-convicted in the Hamilton county
district court. An appeal was taken TO

McAdOO To Trim OF Millions
"UselessIy Spent"
Duplication of r.. r. Executive
Dep'ts To Be Eliminated.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Direc9or Nc
AdoO of the United States railroad
plans to slice millions of uselessly
spent dollars from the payrolls of that
line. This is part of the general econ
omy program which he will eventually
put into effect. Every atom of extra
gliding on the railroad dollar sign will
be Clipped off.
Fabulous railroad presidents SAL
aries will come tumbling down or dis
appear altogether. Millions paid to
elaborate staffs of freight solicitors
ger 'traffic-tickling" departments will
be done away with. Duplication of ex-
pensiVe administrative forces at great
terminals will be stopped.
Don't Need Financial Genii.
Rigid economies will be effected
as soon as I get my hand more firm
ly on the problem" said the director
general today. "Untp then it is use
less to speculate on precisely what l
shall do further than to say that this
great enterprise will be run with a
minimum of expense and maNmu UNI
of adequate service.
Financial genii elected presidents
of railroads for their money getting
and money handling powers will be
useless now that government control
makes the roads credit perfect. Many
of these men either will step out of
the railroad game lOE lHG oul abAOlA "

men for the government. Other Off
Gals made unnecessary by govern
ment, later will drop out or be trans
ferred to other work.
Average $86S Per Year.
General and division officers OF
American roads during 1916 received
$4,000, 500 in pay checks, little
more than 2 per cent of the total OF all
railroad employees salaries paid during
that year All other employees received
SLAP, 579,190, or an average OF
SS6S.69 person per year.
Big railroad presidents salaries
range from $25, 900 to $4,000. Four
are reported to receive $3.50 each,
ten others $4,000 each and the re-
mainder on a scale down.
Several millions tied up in expen-
siye national railroad advertising cam
paigns and other millions spent by
the individual roads in merchandising
themselves to the public will be
clipped off when the director general
gets around to it.
Clerks Need Not Worry.
1t is not likely that any large num-
Der of clerks will be put out of jobs by
reorganization of the terminal admin
istrations under the government uni
fication plan, because office staffs
have been reduced by calls to war
service already. If additional en-
ployes are needed, women will be en-
ployed wherever possible to release
men for duty with the colors.
