WASTING FooDsTUFFs.

The following editorial recently APP
peared in one Of the leading dailies of
the middle West under the caption of
"Foodstuffs."
"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. If 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-

While some boys in. Somerville,
Mass, were playing in vacant lot,
one of them found splendid place in
which to hide from his companions.
1t was an old boiler and in II he

scrambled out and ran to give an
alarm, for in that hiding place he
stumbled over something that had
been man.
Beside it was whisky bottle.

to the success Of prohibition In his
state:
'The common masses Of the people are
the beneficiaries of prohibition. They

liquor to pay rents, buy clothes, shoes
and groceries, send their children to

lay in her room with all the windows

When Miss Castle told her that Mr..

Crawford sat motionless for long

over his eyes, leaning forward and
looking into her face.
"I'vc simply got to be honest with

He dropped his arm on the back Of

Presently he laughed uncertainty,
