STORE WINTER SUPPLIES
Fruits and Vegetables Required During the Non
growing Season for the Family.

A family of five, including two adults and three
children under II years of age, under ordinary
living conditions should have stored for each
month of the winter the following food
supplies / bushel of Irish potatoes; Il bushel
of root vegetables such carrots, turnips and
parsnips; rs quart of other vegetables and
20 quarts of canned fruit and preserves. These
figures are based estimates by the United States
Department of Agriculture, which adds that most
of this should come from the perishable products
of the many home gardens of this year.
With these figures basis, it is thought that
almost any family may calculate it's requirements,
taking into consideration the length of the winter
season in any given locality. Thus, in the South,
where food crops may be grown in the fall the
winter allowance may be less than for the far
North, where one must count supplies for sew

RAILROADS WAR
WORK DESCRIBED
|. C. C. Makes Report to Con-
gress-Needed Legislation
Is Suggested by Body.

The part Americas railroads have
played in preparing the nation for war
was related to Congress today in the
annual report OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission. While struggling
under unusual commercial demands.
the commission explained. the rail-
roads were forced suddenly to trans
port great numbers Of troops and huge
quantities Of cantonment materials.
The task was accomplished success
fully, but only by cooperation Of the
roads among themselves and with the
commerce commission.
The commission gave no specific
words of praise for the railroads, but
commendation was implied.
Looking ahead. the commission sees
that 1T Is necessary to develop to a
greater extent the principle of priority
sential to the conduct of the war, and
predicts broader action of this sort
In the near future"
No Hint as to Rate Action.
No hint is given OF the commissions
attitude toward the eastern and west
ern railroads. pending application for
ordinary expenses.
Mainly through new powers over car

nomic use Of freight cars Attention
IS called to the Esch car service act OF
last May. which some commissioners
have said they believe conveys ade-
Quate power to the commission to
virtually assume management Of the
roads.
This law gives authority whenever
the the commission shall be of the opinion
ina. mat necessity exists for immediate ac-
ton to suspend the operation
OF any or all rules, regulations or prac-
tices then established with respect to
car service for such time as may be
