WASHINGTON NOTES
Common Sense Needed

Before spreading broadcast somC Of
his publicity idiocies it is suggea ted
that Food Dictator Hoover consul Il
good cook book, or add a graduate Of
a domestic science school to his huge
staff of assistants, and seek her co un-
sci daily. With a sugar famine 81 ip-
ping the country Mr.. Hoover adviI es
all of US to buy and consume pie n
teously of cranbcrrics. Every hOG u
wife knows that cranberry sauce is
rendered fit TO eat only by cookGa z
with sugar, pound for pound. Hoove r
suggu sted that cranberries be mixet
with the preserves put up this year
which, if anyone were senile enough
TO follow such advice, would ruin both
the cranberries and the preserves.
This month we are to go on war
bread diet at the command of the
food dictator. The papers announce
that by curtailing the amount of sug-
ar and lard used in bread making Nj.
Hoover estimates that an annual saw
ing of lOO,OOO,OOO pounds each viii
be effected. Bread Is made OF hour,
salt, water (some use potato water)
and yeast, kncaded and baked. Sugar
and shortening arc used in certain
kinds of biscuits, little, if any in
bread. This may be news to Hoover,
but it is not to the lady who presides
in the kitchen.
The public is with Mr.. Hoover in the
desire to conserve food. We have
been prodigal in the past and the
kitchen economy of the French and
Germans comes hard to us at first But
some of the arrant nonsense spread
out for the people to read and credited
to the man who has been picked to ra-
tion the nation, causes us to lose faith
in his capability to. handle the job.

CANDIDATE FOR u. S. SENATOR
Hon. {. W. Waterman Announces Can
didacy for Republican NOmina-
tion

The announcement from Denver that
.C. w. Waterman of that city will be
a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for the Senate seems TO please
most every one in this secticn. The
general impression is that there will
be uD-primary contest, since there is
hardly man prominent in the party
who will care to contest the honors
with Waterman, and that Waterman
will be easily elected. Democrats as
well as republicans are impressed with
his statement Of position. The fact
that his ability at this time will be Of
great service to the nation, for his
loyaly is unquestioncd, will result in
thousands Of democrats voting for
him. Shafroth has played the part Of
a cheap politician rather than
statesman. When Waterman announc-
ed that if elected he would introduce
a bill providing for national prohibit
tion, Shafroth hurriedly introduced
such a measure. Having been five
years in the Senate the people are
naturally going to ask why Honest
John" did not think Of this before.
Waterman is precmincatly the man
for Colorado in the Senate.

1t is the opinion of all the officers
that the troops are bearing up ex-

in the trenches.
So much shrapnel has fallen since
the battalions of the sedond contin-
gent in the trenches entered that the
men have ceased to worry about it.,
hardly paying any more attention to

entered the trenches mumps has
caused more of them to 60 to the

The firing in this battalion's sector
has been rather more intense than Is

from Florida this season, ending on
Nov. 7th: SIG cars grapefruit. 90
cars of oranges.
The shipment of oranges up to the
present time has been very moderate,
and the trade has been taking them
at very satisfactory prices. While
most of the fruit up to this time has
been poor color, from this time on
tl.ey will show much better :ol and
be more satisfactory to the trade and
consuming public.
California shipments Of Valcen
have been much heavier the last two
weeks, owing to more cars being
available for the shipment Of this
fruit. 1t is probable that they will
wind up the shipment of California

as 500 to 600 cars were moved out

by a submarine the morning of Aug.
6, one hundred and forty-three miles
seven survivors reached land in safe
ty. 1t is believed that the captain
of the steamer and four of the armed
guards are prisoners on board the
German submarine"
For military reasons further de-
tails of the sinking were withheld by
the navl department. 1t was stated
that nothing additional to the offici-
al statement would be given out for
the present at least.
II 1t is true that five Of the COM
pany of the Campana are prisoners
on the submarine they represent the
first naval captives Germany has TAX

despite the methods OF attack with
out warning, the imperial admiralty
has held that any defensive measures
in advance which merchant ships may
use are crimes punishable by execu-
ton.
Washington believes, inasmuch as
the Campana had an armed guard.
that she was not sunk without re-
sistance. The state department to-
night is awaiting news from Germany
giving some hint Of what happened
to the captain of the Campana.
There is no method by which this
government can make an effective
protest to Germany. She can threat
en- reprisals.
The question Of reprisal was
brought up in the state department
when the men of the crew Of the
Belgian Prince were stripped to the
skin and drowned from the deck Of
the submarine which captured them.
At that time Secretary Of State Lam
sing said in answer to question
about reprisal:
What would you have us do?
Can we take the interned Germans
we have here and send them to sea
and drown them?"
1t is nevertheless expected that
there will be radical change In the
kindly treatment which the United
States has meted out to all the ma
tlonals of Germany in this country IL
