Proper Food Conservation.

AS 1t is right to conscript human life
for the nation in time Of war, so it is
right in the present crisis to conscript
not only food production. but also food
distribution. We can hope that 1t
will not be necessary in this great, rich
land for a food dictator to allot to
each individual the weekly amount of
food he may consume. But it Is nee
essary that the government, which
asks its citizens to aid In the war by
tilling the soil, should also see to 1t
that the product of this labor of pa
triotism reaches its proper destination
effectively, speedily, economically and
without inordinate profit to small
