 It is easy for interested groups of citizens mobilize many thousands of their own kind and. by invading Washington, produce impression variance with the general state of public opinion the matter issue That very thing done lately under the stress of feeling.

cALoRY LABELS ON CANS.

According to Dr. Graham Lusk of Cornell University the food problem of this country is greater than the railroad problem. Yet the railroads regulated while food conditions are left unregulated.
 Dr. Lusk urges the formation of commission to in- vestgate the food situation and suggest simple and practicable food policies to the government One sug- geston which he makes is the marketing of values all canned and package foods This would enable the housewife to know how much energy she getting for her money in any package of food.
 may be possible insist much upon food values So far however they have not been emphasized enough he believes. Calores ought be accepted scientific standard of measurement. Proper cooking and balanc ing of foods important But with the food values marked canned food it will be easier for the part ally trained housewife to plan her cash expenditures wisely She will be helped by very direct method to select cheaper and more nourishing foods.

BLOWING OFF THE LID.

Our home and foreign politics have suffered ship wreck. We demand immediate armistce for the pur- pose of bringing about peace without annexation on either side without war indemntes, and on a basis of self-government"
 When such utterance be made, it recently, in the German Rechstag, it must be admitted that Ger many is moving. The speaker a Socialist deputy, and the Socialists, happens, have precious little to do with the German government in spite of their num- erical strength it's significant thing that Der of the Recsag should have been permitted to speak and that his words should be permitted to circu late within Germany and to reach the outside world.
 Evidently the Prussan lid isn't tight usual The government is still sitting it; but the govern ment weights less than did and the pressure from within it greater. That lid may be blown off yet.
 The pity of it is that the lid didn't blow off long Such a peace this Socialist deputy proposes would have been possible two years and perhaps year ago. Today it seems no longer possible. Germany her self might acquiesce-and that would big retreat from the tentative peace she has put forth hitherto but it isn't likely that the Allies would They have suffered much from the crimes of the imperial German government to be content without infict ing any penalty the form annexed territory and indemnities
