FAMILIES ARE LIVING
BELOW FOOD STANO,RO

New York, Feb. 26.--Four causes
of present food crisis are set forth
in report issued today by the de-
partment of health of the city of
New York. 1t was prepared and sign
ed by DIR. Haven Emerson, commits
sioner
DR.. Emerson declared that the de-
partment has found many families
living below food standard which
will maintain health. He urges the
extension Of the school lunch system
as means of supplying nutrlment TO
children from homes where insult
ficient food is provided for growth or
even the maintenance of weight.
First in the list of the causes OF the
crisis, Commissioner Emerson placed
1.-The increase in the expectation OF
staple articles from 1914 to 1916"
Nearly five times as much fresh beef
was exported to Europe last year as
was sent abroad in 1914. The exports
of cheese were nearly fourteen times
as great as in the first year of the
European war.
This enormous increase In the ex-
portation of staple articles, without a
corresponding increase in the produc-
ton of food in this country" the re-
port declares. rs probably the chief
reason for the gradually rising prices
of food IN this city
Second in Importance in the inves-
LEGATIONS on which the report was
based was placed the amount OF per-
ishahle food held in cold storage in
New York city.
Third in the list was placed the
difference between wholesale and re-
tail prices for the prime necessaries
or life In this city. Wide divergences
were shown
Finally. nr Emerson reported that
hablt has played large part in i'm
peliing the enormous population of
New York city to pay high prices for
potatoes, cabbages,S onions and other
foodstuffs, instead of turning to
cheaper foods. which would provide
the same nutriment.
The Investigators found 373 families
living ON smaller wages than were re-
ceived last year. while 1855 families
were receiving the same or higher
wages In one-sixth OF the families
investigated some unemployment was
found In almost all cases 1t was due
to sickness or physical unftness.
In 1892 families there was no COM
plant of want In S13 cases there APP
peared to be need of assistance.

ioo week according to Judge Scully.
After an examination in the psycho-
pathlc hospitals they are committed to

proved of plan for q private car for
melancholy patients to run from the
psychopathic hospitals to the asylums
at Dunning, Elgin and Kankakee
without charge and free from obser-
Vation from the over-cu-ious. The car
would cost $4,000 and the track for

Wayne r. Wheeler. attorney and
general counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League OF America, at mass meet
Ing in Sharon, Pa. replied to the
wet leaders claim that the bone-dry
amendment eliminated the necessity
for national prohibition.
Brewery agents and liquor lobbyists
are trying to extract a little comfort
from their recent defeats. When the
supreme court sustained the Webb
Kenyon act. the wet publicity head
quarters started the argument that
there was no need now of national
prohibition. To those who could rea-
son clearly It was amusing. When
the supreme court consigned liquor
TO the class of disease infected rags
and rotten meat, it failed to impress
thinking people that this presented
an argument in favor of retalnine
liquor anywhere within the United
States. In fact. that decision was the
blow that almost killed Father
Barleycorn. 1t practically served no
tice on the liquor interests that liquor
has no constitutional guarantees. 1t
is hobo and a fiec-bitten cur on the
highway of public life. 1t Is dis
credited and disowned by almost
every respectable factor in our civ
iliZation

material and spiritual announcement
Of our war-weary, war-stricken allies.
The first pressing work of the Amer
lean Red Cross, as planned by the war
council, will be to look out for our
sailors and soldiers abroad and at
home. A moments consideration gives
a notion, however vague, OF the tre-
mendous scope Of that task. We must
plan for the material and moral well
fare of millions of American troops, no
less We must plan on the assumption
that millions Of American soldiers are
going to fight at the side Of our allies.
That is big Job in itself. Wholly UNI
exampled stores Of medical supplies
and equipment must be assembled.
Thousands Of surgeons and doctors
must be enlisted. Shipping must be
found to take care of our end OF the
war labor. Problems never before con-
sidered must be solved, some of them
having to do with keeping our troops
in mental as well as physical health,
with affording them opportunities for
rest and relaxation, with interposing
