increase their vigilance.
The squad was organized about two

FOOD WASTE TO STOP
AT OFFICERS CAMPS
Government, to Be Consistent, De-
mands Soldiers call In" With
Conservation Plans.

Gentlemen. there is evidence that
your eyes are bigger than your stom-
achs." remarked Colonel Fenton. at
Fort Myer. the other day.
Whereupon he paraded his soldiers
in front of the bullying garbage tins

Reports of food waste in United

The food administration has asked

Men Must Pay.

In this old world much is I'M
certain; tomorrow is behind a
curtain that hides it from today !;
one thing is sure, for all waytar-
ers: for all our follies and our er-
ror's, we'll sometime have to pay.
We trot along a course unholy !;
the day OF wrath approaches
slowly, and seems long versts
away: but Nemises is cutting
clover. preparing now to put one
over, and shortly we must pay.
In trifling matters and in greater
the truth holds good, and soon or
later, while young or when
we're gray, the captains office
we shall enter, approach the
wicket in the center, and shed
some brine and pay. | see the
blithe lads waste their money
in courses dissolute or funny, as
thoughtless as they're gay
and later on they will be yearn-
ing for dollar bills they now
are burning, for spendthrifts all
must pay. | see good fellows
soak their shanties, and borrow
money from their aunties, that
they may ride today, in gorgeous
cars with seats of leather, and
tenders neatly put together. and
some day they must pay. | sea
so many idly taking the road that
goes where hearts are breaking,
where all the Jonahs stay! Alas,
alas, they are not needing the
lesson l am daily reading, which
is that men must pay!

Did Not Know It Was His Son.

When Policeman Rout's attention was
attracted to the scene of the accident he
went there to detain the chauffeur until
he could investigate the affair Little
did he think the victim was his own child,
and it was not until he returned and saw
the PROSTATE form OF the victim on the
pavement that he learned OF his identity.
Grossman took the injured boy to the
hospital. the latter's father accompanying
him. Seven men were riding in the taxi
! cab, and the excessive weight of the
heavily laden vehicle probably caused the
| infiiction Of a more serious injury than
| thought.
Grossman Is held bv the police, to APP
pear at an inquest that will be held at
| the morgue late this afternoon.

EXPERTS OFFER
ADVICE ABOUT POTATOES
Declare That Home Storage Be Used
for Supply for Not More Than
Two Months.

Potatoes can be bought when cheap
and stored in the home.
But there are certain requirements
perts Of the Department of Agriculture
do not recommend that home storage
be used for a supply of more than two
months.
storage begin now. But those con-
templating storing can begin now to
prepare their storage facilities.
Reports received by the Department
of Agriculture indicate that large
growers of potatoes are building big
storage houses in increased numbers
this year. So the little householder
may be able to bat this apparent at
| tempt of the growers to hold potatoes
by storing up a little supply Of his
own in his home.
Some little corner in the cellar. large
enough to store an adequate supply,
may be set aside and boxed in. not for
getting the fact that a window Is need
= somewhere within the Enclosure.
This must be used to open and give
the tubers ventilation.
Room Must Be Cool and Dark.
The storage room must be cool and
dark and the potatoes must be kept
In barrels and crates, and not In bulk.
The potatoes have a tendency to heat
p. ana unless there Is a way VI SeH-
tilating at night. they are likely to
rot before they can be eaten. But,
light is the great destroyer in this
case.
Potatoes for the table deteriorate
very quickly when exposed to the light,
according to Prof. W. Stuart the po-
tato authority of the Department of
Agriculture.
Potatoes can be kept for a very long
time in cold storage, but. of course.
there are not cold storage facilities In
the home, and this means of storage
scale. Potatoes have been known to
keep in cold storage from June of one
year until the following March.
Large Crop Is Indicated.
Reports to the Department Of Asricul-
ture indicate that there will be a very
large crop Of early potatoes. and even
late potatoes. The early potatoes now
are coming on the market and will con-
tinue to increase. and the department
experts look for them to be as low as
80 cents a peck within the next ten days.
From then on they will be cheap. az
the facilities for storing these early po-
which goes into storage. The prices will
continue moderate until the last of Oc-
tober or the first Of November. it is be-
lieved. when they may begin to rise.
About that time Is when the house
holder should go in the market II he is
planning to store up supply. A two
month supply il great many people
store them will keep back the supply in
the big storage plants, and then when
these are released they may have to
down the price.
Where potatoes are not over so cents a
peck it is declared to be not advisable to
try to store them.
