Beds.

Beds.
The bed was originally designed as
soft spot for the tired man to lie
on.
Most hotels and some private
houses have utterly missed the idea.
The average hotel bed is either hump
backed, sway-backed, suffers from
Jumps or is otherwise deformed.
Next in point of atrociousness is the
sanitary couch. 1t may be sanitary
but it doesn't even possess the advan
tages of that old-time instrument OF
sudden death, the folding bed. The
folding bed would occasionally serve
to shut mans wife up when nothing
else could, but the sanitary couch can't
even do that.
Then there's the narrow, hall-bed-
room bed. This type has to be fitted
with stirrups before you can clint

FOOD PROBLEM
Is SERIOUS
TO NATION

Sacramento, May 12.-Crop data Sc
cured by the State Council of De-
f2nse from the United States De
partment of Agriculture shows that
unless great care is exercised the
ration will be facing actual want be-
fore the crops of 1918 can be har-
vested. This opinion is based on re-
ports of present wheat conditions, to-
gether with statistics already gath
ered, showing the stocks of food now
on hand. According to data secured
BY the state defense organization, the
worlds food situation in brief is as
follows:
There has been wheat failure in
Argentine, to the extent that an en-
largo has been placed upon the eX-
porting of wheat from that country.
Pussia will not have more than nor
NAL supply of food products. Eng
lend has already requisitioned the
Canadian harvest. The Australian
wheat crop can have out little effect
uron the world supply because Of lack
of transportation facilities.
The winter wheat crop of the Unit
ed States is estimated to be 100000,
eco bushels short. The weather con-
d;tions of the United States are such
that the probability is that there will
r. a shortage of most other crops
this year. The acreage of potatoes Is
srbnormal because of the high price
Of seed.
The stocks of meats of all kinds IN
storage are II per cent less than at
the same period last year.
In the United States the production
o. wheat in 1915 was ten bushels Pc
capita. The consumption during the
year 1916 was six and one-half bush
els, while there was exported two and
one-half bushels per capita. The re-
serves of wheat are the lowest in mod
cln civilization.
AS a result of the information sup
piled to it by the United States De
rartment of Agriculture, the State
Council of Defense is endeavoring to
impress upon every householder the
reed of the utmost economy in pre-
vertion of waste in the use Of food
5. uffs and to secure the cooperation
of every farmer in the state in the
state wide plan for increased produc'
ton.

CHICAGO PAPERS
ADVANCE PRICES

Chicago, May 1.-TWO more Chi
cago newspapers have advanced prices.
The Chicago Tribune announces a
new rate of 2 cents a copy this morn
ing. Yesterday afternoon the Even
i.e American announced an advace
t. 2 cents, effective May IA. The
Tribune this morning says:
"Undoubtedly every reader of news
papers is aware of the shortage Of
news print paper and of the fact
that the price per ton has virtually
duobled:
"The peril Of this situation lies not
SC much in the increase in price per
ton as in the fact that the production
cf news print paper may actually not
be sufficient to supply the demands
Of all the newspapers in the United
States. For any considerable num-
Der of newspapers either to suspend
publication or to curtail materially
rews and comment in these times
would be little short of a disaster.
"The limit arbitrarily the number
Of pages in each copy OF the Tribune
CT the number of copies printed eacf
DAY would mean, in the first in
stance, curtailment of news, and, IN
the second, an unfair Discrimination
against those who wished to buy the
Tribune, but who might find the sup
ply exhausted.
consequently, it is our decision
reached only after careful thought
end some reluctance, that the only
fair means for US to employ to par
ticipate in the movement to conserve
the news print paper supply OF the
United States is TO increase the SELL
ing rice Of the Tribune to cents III
the territory where it has been sell
ing at ] cent.
ain addition it may well be argued
that it is uneconomic to sell any
product at price that nets material
ly less than the raw material tha'
goes to make it. For a long time the
rrice received by us for each copy
of the Daily Tribune has been consld-
erably less than the actual cost OF
the white paper alone upon when II
was printed. In recent months, also
the cost of other raw materials mas
advanced from Is to 300 per cent.

ready have announced sn advance III

JAPAN FEELS TOUCH
WORLDS DEMOCRACY
By Ralph H. Turner

! United Press Staff Correspondent
Toxic, April 2 (By maiD-Japanese
Ieople have seen within the past few
DAYS considerable advance in the
constitutional history of Japan-the
establishment of regulations by which
the Japanese people may appeal direct
u the throne.
The subjects of the land of cherry
blossom for the first time in history
find themselves with power to inform
the emperor direct of their opinions
concerning the rul eof the country.
Means by which the Japanese may
communicate direct with their SOW
ereign were provided at a recent meet
ing of the privy council an advisory
body to the throne. His Majesty him.
self attended this meeting.
Those seeking for an explanation of
this unexpected action have pointed
significantly to the Russian revolution,
protesting to see here a touch of the
world tendency toward democracy.
The new regulations, which have
been approved and published in the
Official Gazette, provide for the es-
Establishment of an office under the di-
rection of the Lord Keeper of the
Privy Seal, who will receive any sug-
gestions or grievances which the peo-
pie may wish to express. These will
be forwarded to His Majesty, who, If
they deal with state affairs, will re-
fer them to the government. If the
appeal is one involving court matters,
it will be handled by the Minister of
Household Affairs.
The Japanese constitution grants the
throne, with due respect and through
tie proper cannels, but heretofore
these channels have been lacking and
there has been no ruling to guide such
an action.
As a result, the ancient custom o.
"jikiso" sprang into being years ago.
Dropping letters into the emperor S
carriage was form of. this practice.
This was considered an objectionable
crime and the offender often met with
severe punishment. In the old days
the guilty person was beheaded. Re-
Gently "jikiso" incident occurred and
dozen officials, feeling their laxity
had been responsible for the affront
to the emperor, rendered their resig-
nations. They were not acceptd, how
ever.
