Hollis, secretary Of the American le-
cation at the peace conference, who
represents US upon the subcommit-
tee on arbitration, came in with
most discouraging news. 1t now
appears that the German emperor
is determined TO oppose the whole
scheme Of arbitration, and will have
nothing 10 do with any plan for a
regular tribunal, whether as given
in the British or the American
scheme. This news comes from va
rious sources. and is confirmed by
the fact that, in the subcommittee
one of the German delegates, Prof.
ZOrn Of KonjEsberg, who had be-
come very earnest IN behalf Of arbi-
tration, now says that he may not
be able TO vote for it. There are
also signs that the German emperor
is influencing the minds of his al
lies-the sovereigns of Austria,
Italy, Turkey and Roumania-lead-
ing them to oppose it."

What to Eat in
War Time
BY G. KAY SPENCER.
BUYING FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.


Before your prospective food
reaches the retailer it has passed
through a series of transactions and
shipments which are always under
the eyes of the constituted officials
TO safeguard the health of the pub
lie. Generally these officials are able
TO keep a good check on the de-
cency of the handling and refriger-
ating of the food while it is in the
possession Of wholesalers, and gen.
orally the food reaches your retail
er in a very near perfect condition
or he, of course, would refuse 70
accept it, looking out for his own
interests.
But once in the possession Of the
retailer there are many vicissitUdes
through which the food may pass
which may or may not leave il fit
for human consumption. If. in the
retailers hands, the food becomes
contaminated, dirty, rancid, putrid
or unwholesome, then the consumer
and the consumer only, can ex-
ercise the censoring influence that
Will remedy conditions.
First of all, be convinced that a
store overrun with vermin, a store
whose bins are uncovered. a store
whose refrigerator goes unclaimed
