FISHER WARNS OF FOOD CRISIS

America must be fed and something
must be done to replace the millions
who have left the fields for war and fol
making the machines of war, says Pro.
fessor Irving Fisher, famous political
economist, of Yale, in statement is
sued through the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.
Coincident with the statement of Pro-
fessor Fisher, the Department of Labor
gave out statement that showed the
cost of the annual grocery bill for the
average family had increased from 1888
in 1918 to $425 at the present time.
Professor Fisher cites the increase OF
food prices since the war in Europe be-
gan and points to the need of the people
planting food gardens in back yards and
vacant lots this spring as never before.
The statement given out by the commits
sion, which is sending free garden les
sons to more than a thousand news
papers, follows:
Retail prices of food had risen since
the war began up to December, 1916,
by about Is per cent. according to the
record of food prices kept by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics. In
Europe general prices have risen far
more. In fact, in Russia up to April,
1916, prices of goods in general had
risen, according to Professor Cassell. OF
Sweden, 165 per cent.
'In this great rise there is involved
dn exceedingly important monetary
cause-currency imitation. But there is
also another side to the question, that
is, the supply of goods especially food.
"The world is confronted with very
grave problem. Millions Of men in Eu-
rope have been taken away from the
production Of food to fight and produce
ammunition and other war supplies,
thousands of men are about to be taken
away from such production in America.
"Some great and unusual effort should
be made in America. The National
Emergency Food Garden Commission,
of Washington, has been organized to
meet that need. Its aim is to encourage
the making of food gardens for the pur-
pose of increasing the food supply of
the country.
1.-The example of the European coun-
tries, where the women and children
and the men unfit for service have liter
ally done the greater part of the pro-
duction Of the country, should show US
in America what can be done toward
solving the problem. The National
Emergency Food Garden Commission
should help materially"
The Wilmington Morning News is CO.
operating with the commission in fur
thering this first line of defense work"
by printing the planting lessons sent
out by the commission every day.
According to the report issued to-day
by the Department of Labor the grocery
bill of the average family in this coun-
t-y has jumped from $339. 81 in 1913 to
$425. 81 at the present time. The report
shows the heaviest increase has been IN
potatoes, which have jumped from
$1S 96 to S44 50. This is one of the
vegetables that can be planted with
good effect in the campaign for the
back ground and vacant lot gardening
now being waged by this paper and the
food garden commission, of Washing
ton. Everything else shows CORES
pon1ing increase all along the line.

WHEN THE TIME COMES

The best methods of soil man
agement are those which make
it possible to utilize the nitro
gen Of the air through legumes
and the insoluble plant food Of
the soil by making it slowly
available during the growing
season. When it is either i'm
possible or impractical to fur
nish from these sources Suffi-
cient plantfood for crop pro-
ductiOn, it becomes desirable to
make use of an additional
amount in commercial form. In
the case of virgin soils large
crops usually are secured with
out applying any fertilizing ma
terial whatever. But under such
treatment the richest lands soon
decrease in prOductiveness. Re
course is then had to clover and
farm manure to check decreas-
ing crop yields. However, a
time inevitably comes when
the resources of the farm are
not sufficient to furnish the prop
er amount of pIantfood for
most profitable crop production.
1t is then that the application of
commercial fertilizers becomes
desirable and necessary, if
permanent system of soil fertiI-
ity is to be coupled with a profit.

DO YOU BREATHE?- BREATHING FOR HEALTH
MEANS NOT MERELY INtIALING

BY DR.. r. n. BISHOP, JR.
cleveland Commissioner of Healthy
Breathing for health means more
than merely making the ribs work up
and down as you -inhale and exhaIe.
It means more than a big chest.
The diaphragm or midriff must be
made to work, too. Here is the rea-
son:
When you take a fun, deep breath,
slowly, you fill the lower instead of
merely the upper part of the lungs.
This gives the diaphragm a down
ward push which helps force the alb
dominal contents downward and out
ward. This aids the lower intestines

waste material. Unless this function
is properly performed one cannot re-
main healthy.
Having learned to keep the body
free from poisons by expulsion of
waste material and foul air the next
step is to feed and build up the body.
This is done by keeping the blood
supplied with the proper amount Of
oxygen.
Breathing so the blood is purified,
then pumped to every portion of the
body will add 10 to IS years to ones
life. 1t will do-more. It will give the
person who has lived wrong for 20
or so years chance to come back

to be massive and heavy than the
pieces for the other rooms. Great
care should be taken in choosing
that the pieces are not too heavy for
the size of the room.
BEDROOM.-The bedroom needs
plenty of air, light and coIors, and
above all, order. The bedroom is
the place to indulge personal likes in
regard to color, pictures, etc., pro-
Yiding these personal likes are well
regulated and in keeping with the
necessities of the room.
If the bedroom is used for a sit
ting as well as a sleeping room the
furniture may be darker and heavier
in character. A bedroom is always
more CHEEKY with pretty Powered
chintz over curtains and chair cush-
ions. A great mistake is often made
by an oVer-indulgence of Powered
material
KITCHEN. - It was long time
after many labor and ti1ne-saVing de-
vices had been invented for mans
work before tightening woman's du-
ties was ever thought of. Now that
woman's time is valued as highly as
mans an effort to better her work
ing conditions is being made.
The old kitchen, usually one of
the largest rooms in the house, was
the center of interest and served as
DO YOU BREATHE?-BR
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-30

a place for not only culinary process
es, but washing and ironing and
churning, and often dining room.
But in the modern house separate
places for these various classes of
work are provided, and the use Of the
kitchen is limited usually to the
preparation and dispensing Of food.
It should not only be convenient in
regard to it's relation of other rooms,
but also in the detailed arrangement
of it's furnishings.
The walls of the kitchen may be a
neutral tone and still not a gloomy
drab or gray. They are best painted
or calcimined.
The ideal kitchen floor is yet to be
discovered. Inlaid tile and cement
are sanitary, but very tiresome to.
stand upon for any length of time.
Maple or hard pine are satisfactory
woods and should be treated in hot
Hnseed oil and rubbed down, but not
vanished.
The linoleum-covered floor is
about the most satisfactory at pres
ent. 1t may be given a thin coat of
varnish for protection from hard
wear.

Maxwell Car Leads
in State of Michigan

Prophets may sometimes be without
honor in their own country, but from
report received by the Pacific Auto
company yesterday it would seem that
the Maxwell automobile enjoys a great
er sale in its home state of Michigan.
whore so many thousands of other low
priced automobiles are made, than in
any other section Of the United States
Southern California, where people
believe in getting out into the great
outdoors, and where nearly everybody
has an automobile, comes second in
the number of Maxwell owners, tho
Lord Motor Car company having sold
more Maxwell cars during the past
year in Southern California than any
Maxwell dealer in the United States
with the single exception of the dealer
in Detroit, whose territory is the state
of Michigan.
"While the Maxwell has always en-.
ioyed an immense popularity in its
home state the sales almost doubled
this season after the record run of
stock Maxwell had been made across
Michigan and back to Detroit in nine
hours,' said Mr.. Halvorsen of the
Halvorsen & Burns auto company.
fThis record was as convincing
proof that the Maxwell utility point
motor has lot of speed built into it,
as the nonstop run was proof of the
Maxwell's endurance and staying quail
tiles.
"The run across Michigan was made
by Ray McSamara, the intrepid driver
who has travelled farther than any
other human being. Mcnamara made
the run when the roads were in ter
rible condition, but averaged better
than thirty-five miles, including the
stops and slowdowns necessary in pass
ing through large number Of Mich
igan towns and cities.
"This run was made after chal
lenge to all other low-priced cars foI
a compction run dcross the state had
been been unanswered, and the sales Of
the Maxwell in Michigan increased
rapidly after the Maxwell had thus
proved itself the state champion Of
ow-priced ears.
"Thousands OF Miehiganders have
been through the Maxwell factories
and have seen just how carefully and
conseientiously the staunch winner of
records is manufactured. This makes
the immense Michigan sales record all
the more gratifying, for these people
have ample opportunity to observe
the methods employed in many other
factories"
