WASTING FooDsTuFFs.

The following editorial recently ap-
peared in one of the leading dailies Of
the middle West under the caption Of
"Foodstuffs.'
1.-THE time Is here when farm crops
must be used for food when the prod
ucts of the land will not suffice to feed
the people of the world. To use for
making liquors the grain which is need
ed to feed the people is an economic
crime and an offense against humanity.
This is the broad view Of the beverage
liquor question. 1t is outrageous to
think of hundreds of thousands Of hui
man beings being insufficiently nour-
ished, scantily fed, while the crops are
being taken for the manufacture of
booze. II the people will think of
the liquor question from this point of
view there will be small delay in bring
Ing about the adjustments which shall
not only cut off the evils Of the liquor
traffic, but also will stop the misappro-
priation of the foodstuffs Of the people
to stock the saloons with poison

DESTROYED STOCKS OF FLOUR
How New York Mob Dealt With
Food Spectators Some Eighty
Years Ago.

These times of corners on eggs and
-four by spectators and owners of re-
frigeratOr plants recall the days Of
panic In 1S36-37, when banks closed,
and even the government was unable
to meet its obligations. Coal was $40
a tor and flour $12 barrel, and SO
great was the distress that meeting
was held in City Hall park, the no.
tice reading: Bread, wheat, rent,
fuel! The voice of the people shall
be heard!"
Eli Hart, in Washington street, who
was holding 10000 barrels of -four for
higher prices, was denounced and a
mob attacked his warehouse and de-
stroyed much of his stock after he
had refused to sell to the people at the
old price.
Then when the militia arrived the
crowd visited Herrick & Co.'s ware
house, and there they were outwitted
by very smart clerk, who said:
Don't destroy the flour, but let every
one who can, shoulder barrel of -four
and take it home to his family" To
this all agreed, and hundreds of homes
were Immediately amply supplied.
Herrick saved much of his stock, and
quiet was restored to the town.-New
York Tribune.

WINTER THE TIME TO WALK
Exercise In the Cold Air viii Be Found
Both Enjoyable and Bene-
fetal,

"Winter weather diminishes greatly
the time spent In the open air by those
who ride In motorcars. 1t comes near
putting bicycles out of use. From
steamboats, to canoes there Is almost
entire cessation of water outings.
All of which means that more walk
ing instead Of less ought to be done
In cold weather. There is no other way
Of moving about In the open air, which
keeps a healthy persons feet so warm
and brings such glow of warmth from
the body itself. If the pedestrian is
properly clad, especially in respect to
keeping dryshod, all Of the effects Of
winter walking should be beneficial.
With little care and discretion such
exercise can be made as agreeable as 1t
Is wholesome. Rightly timed and kept
within bounds, winter walking is a
good precaution against the i'll effects
of sedentary life and too much indoor
air.

An officer of the American jewelers.
Protective association recently had an
Interesting talk with gem expert Of
the United States geological survey. AS
q result of this talk, according to the
New York Times, movement is to be
started In the jewelry trade that will
have for its object the passing of
law which will govern the interstate
shipment Of reconstructed, synthetic or
scientific gems.
The principal object Of the proposed
measure will be to prohibit the inter-
state shipment Of these "gems," in ad-
dition to Japanese culture and other
manufactured pearls, except under con-
ditions analogous to the restrictions Of
the pure food law. Such legislation Is
required, 1t Is contended, for the pro.
lection Of the public.

SAFETY IN A DRY STATE.

:
Ragged and unkempt, George Mertz,
miner and self-styled prey of liquor,
walked into the Office Of the Associat-
ed Charities in Pomona and begged
for pair of shoes so that he might
walk to Arizona and "get into dry
state"
Questioned by Mrs. w. ]. Rogers,
In charge of the Office, Mertz brokenly
told her that he had gone to Los An
geles from Globe, Ariz, and a few
days ago was sent to Jail here for
drunkenness. Released, he started to
walk into "dry" country.
Everywhere I turned in Los An
igeles saloon reached out for me-"
said Mertz. 'They took every cent /
had. simply could not resist"
"Why don't you take cure?" asked
Mrs. Rogers.
"There is no cure for man whose
will is gone" replied Mertz. "Just
give me pair of shoes so that can
get to Arizona. I was all right there.
i had not had a drink since prohibi-
lion became a law"
He was furnished with the shoes
and resumed his journey.-Los An

PRIVILEGED.

While some boys in Somerville,
Mass, were playing in vacant lot,
one Of them found a splendid place in
which to hide from his companions.
1t was an old boiler, and In II he
scrambled. But more quickly he
scrambled out and ran to give an
alarm, for in that hiding place he
stumbled over something that had
been a man.
Beside 1t was whisky bottle.
If 1t had been thug or a gunman
that had done the killing, with what
zeal would the officers have pursued
him, and how securely the authorities
would have locked him up!
But whisky bottle-that is priv
ileged slayer! That is permitted to
go scot free, although its killings many
times outnumber those of all the thugs
