Save the Nations Food SIpDIy

HE educational campaign to induce the
people TO conserve the nations food sup
ply to enable MS TO win the war has been con-
Quoted long enough TO have impressed its
Importance upon every individual consumer,
and now that the President has issued his
appeal to the nation TO make response in
such substantial way will show results in
hgurcs indicating decrease in the volume of
consumption, the question Of patriotism Is
forced upon each Of us individ ually. Is the
PATRIOTISM OF which we boast in wordy way
OF that type which is willing to make in
dividual sacrifices for the cause of human
frcedom-for the safeguarding of our own
national welfare? Are we willing to limit
and scarce. to the actual necessary require
ments OF an intelligent health ration. that
our soldiers at the front and the soldiers OF
our allies in the trenches and the civil popu-
lations OF these countries may have food to
eat? Unless we are willing to do this in
dlVldually and collectively, we are lacking
not only in the essential quality of true pa
trlotlsn, but in ordinary business sense and
prudent foresight as well
The question of conserving the food SUNNY
is one that addresses itself directly to the
individual only by individual initiative in
seit-denlal can desired results be attained
III thls particular instance. ii is not what ones
helshbor is going 10 do, but what you YOUR
sell 40 IN the way OF reducing consumption
or inc scarcer foods at your table The sue
cess or failure OF the movement to reduce
national consumption depends altogether
upon the hcartineSs that the individual nuts
INTO 1t. and its momentum will be regulated
entirely by the force which individual effort
contributes to accelerate the mass movement.

The Income Tar.

T. A. NJ. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in
tercst ordinarily would not be inclLd-
cd in income TO be taxed. though I'M
der some circumstances ii would be
included. There are two income tax
laws. The act of September s. 1916
provides for exemption from taxation
on $4,000 in the case of single mau.
and $4,000 in the case Of Il married
man. That law still stands. In add
tion to it, the war income tax law
of October 3. 1917. exempts from tax
alton only $1,000 in the case Of single
man, and $4,000 for n married man
living with his wife. A widower or
widow Ia In the same class as n single
person except that he or she ia en-
titled to additional exemption Of 5000
for each dependent child.

..WHATEvER YOU WANT To kNow.r


In voting to submit a prohibition
amendment to the federal constitu
ton to the states for ratification the
senate has done an unusual thing.
Warrant for such action is not found
in the national platforms of either-of
the great parties. 1t is not recalled
that any member of the senate was
elected on a prohibition issue. The
cause for the senate's sudden and
hasty course is reported to lie in the
fact that both Republicans and DEM
ocrats feared the issue. They had a
suspicion that it might be injected
into the next platform of one or the
other of the parties and neither dared
go before the people as favoring d
bone dry country. When prohibi-
ton is an issue in a political cam
paign there never is room for any
thing else. Probably the senate did
well thus to take the whole question
out of the national politics at once
and for all.
