URGE PROHIBITION
AS WAR MEASURE
Congress Asked Through Big
Petition to Stop Liquor
Traffic

Washington, April 24.-When the
history of the passing of alcohol
shall be written, the 1917 memorial
for national prohibition presented
yesterday to Congress will be given
IL place among the most important
documents of that movement
This memorial asks for nothing
less than federal action looking to
the prohibition in the United States
of the manufacture, sale, import, ex-
port and transport of alcoholic
liquors. The form of the memorial
to which the signatures are attached
follows:
I'm view of the scientifically prov
ed unfavorable effects of the use of
alcoholic beverages even in small
quantities:
And in view, therefore, of the
colossal, physical, mental, moral,
economical, social and racial evils
which the manufacture and sale of
alcoholic liquor entail;
And in view fthe inadequate
ness of all methods hitherto employ
ed to check or regulate these evils:
"And in view of the great and
rapid growth of public knowledge
and sentiment on this subject as
shown by antialcohol agitation and
legislation through most of our ma
tional area;
1.-The undersigned believe the time
has come for the federal govern
ment to take steps looking to the
prohibition in the United States of
the manufacture, sale, import eX-
port, and transport of alcoholic
liquors. with the understood ex-
oeptions for medical, sacramental
and industrial purpoSes.O.
1t bases its appeal on the colossal
injury drink is doing the country,
on the failure of all forms of regu-
lation and on the ripeness of public
sentiment for drastic action. Rare
ly if ever has a petition attracted
more varied and more representative
signatures.
The thousand come from places of
leadership in all walks of life. Scien-
fists, railroad presidents. university
leaders, capitalists, socialists, men of
letters, big industrials, leaders at
the bar and in medicine are all to
be found in the list. Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, Princeton, Johns Hopkins,
Michigan, Chicago, Leland Stanford
and almost every other important
university and college in the coun-
try contributes each its quota. Prac-
tically every State in the union is
represented.
The collection of signatures was
made by correspondence, without or
ganiZation and in but a few weeks.
1t was carried out under the direc-
tion of a subcommittee of the COM
mittee of sixty, led by Ex-Governor
Foss of Massachusetts, and Profess
sor Irving Fisher, of Yale.
The following names from this
document give some indication of
the extent to which the public mind
is turning to national prohibition for
the solution of the alcohol question:
Giffcrd Pinchot, president of the
M G;.unal Conservation Association;
DR.. w. j. Mayor, surgeon; Warren

CORN SUBSTITUTES FOR HOGS

generally used as a protein supplement when usual prices exist.
 Pea meal can be substituted for corn when costing one-twelfth more than corn. It needs no protein Supplement, but, ow- ing to it's close nature, should be fed with bulkier feed It is best used as partial substitute. fine quality of pork is produced by pea meal.
 Broomcorn waste or the tops of broom corn can be fed profitably to hogs and have about the same feeding value as millet.
 Weed seeds from grain elevators can be substituted for two-thirds of the corn in a ration. They should be ground and cooked before feeding.
 Cracker wastes can be substituted as one-half the grain ration. It can be fed dry or moist, but, owing to it's salti- ness, the hogs require more water. It is constipatng and should be fed with oil meal or bran when in dry lot, while green forage crops will counteract its costiveness during the grazing season.
 Bakery wastes and Ice cream cone wastes can be substituted for corn when available at reasonable prices.
 Garbage is well utilized by swine. Care must be used in feeding to remove soap, washing powders, glass; etc, which may kill the pigs.
 Blackstrap moasses when two-ffths cheaper per pound, can be substituted as one-third of the corn in a ration. Its usual value commonly will prohibit such substitution.
 There are many wastes and by-prod- ucts from other industries, such as can ming factories, which are of feeding value to swine. It should be remembered that, with bulky by-product feeds such as dis tillery grains, brewers grains. and pea cannery refuse, the hog, owing to his digestive system, cannot utilize these as we'll as cattle and sheep.
 When the prices of corn and of ni- trogenous by-product feeds such as bran. peanut meal, soy bean meal, velvet bean meal tankage, fish meal. etc, are rela- lively close, larger amount of these concentrates high in feeding value can be fed and partially substituted for corn. This will naturally increase the percent age of protein in the ration.

VALUE OF POTATOES

There is no food which exactly takes the place of the potato when one is ac- customed to it, says a statement issued by the United States department of ag- riculture, urging an increased consump- ton of this vegetable now that the mar kets of the country are well supplied. Tt has come to be such part of our dinner that we miss it when it is not served. Besides, any leftover potato car be used in many very palatable ways for breakfast or supper, and this is convenience from the housekeeper's standpoint, since it helps her to make palatable meals. Not only is it useful from the ease with which it can be pre- pared and the number of palatable ways in which it can be served, but it is very important for the food material it sup plies It is one of the most whole some sources of starch and is also fairly rich in the mineral matter which the body needs. Of the mineral salts one must not overlook the importance of the mild alkaline salts it contains because these are greatly needed by the body to coun- terbalance the acid salts which meats and eggs produce when assmilated. In this we have a justification of the use of potatoes in the diet in liberal quanti- ties and of our common custom of serv- ing them with meats. When the price permits, potatoes should, by all means, be made part of the diet"
