THE POLITICAL. POT.

The new Nationalist party is
still in the throcs of childbirth
and until the midMlNes pack up
their kits and assure us that the
child will live, we are unable to

Chicago convention, one hundred
were from the Prohihitionist
party. which did not break up
without a good deal of resist

been SO thoroughly merged int"
the Republican party, or il YOU

The Socialists who have joined
hands, will represent numerical

Dickens Huge Bed

Charles Dickens. always fond of the
novel and grotesque, was the owner at
one time of the worlds biggest bed.
This was the very ancient Great Bed
of Ware in Herts. II is now in a
museum. The Great Bed was of II
size to comfortably accommodate II
people. and for centuries was an object
of curiosity in Ware. Many tales have
been told of the origin of the piece of
furniture. One is to the effect that
1t was built a dozen centuries ago by
a nobleman of a thrifty turn OF mind,
who believed that it would be saving
bedclothes to have his family of ten
children sleep in the same bed with
himself and his spouse.

Crowded out last week..
The Crescent Bowling league is
still going strong and the contest
for first place is growing hotter every
day. At the present time the All
Star (?) team seems to have the
penant cinched having a lead of lat
points vel its closest opponent.
During the past week three series
Of games were played, the first last
Thursday night when the Lewis

latter team taking three out of five.
Sunday afternoon the BARRIERS and All
Stars met in a "tooth' and nail" con-
test the All Stars winning out by a
very harrow margin for two games
out of three.
Monday evening the Mitfts and All
Stars played the hardest fought
series of the season and up until the
last frame of the last game it looked
as though the Mitfts would capture
the long end Of the series. However,
a strong finish by the All Stars put
them a few points in the lead for the
decisive game.

Unpatriotic to Serve Extra
Meal Under Any Pretext.

"The fourth meal, whether an after
noon lunch or midnight feed, has no
place in the present war crisis" says
Alfred Atkinson, federal food admin
istrator for Montana, in a statement
for the Montana press. "Much Of
Americas entertainment in the home
has been built around eating and the
refreshments have been the delight
full part Of the most social events.
This was not food to meet the de-
mands for nourishment, but was
offered for the purpose Of hospitality
entertainment.
"The present war crisis is employ
ing millions Of fighting men, and
these men must be regularly fed if we
expect to bring victory to our side.
The employment Of so many men on
the fighting lines naturally has cut
down crop production in Europe. This
shortage Of food must be made up in
America. There is the added sub
marine menace which makes the
transportation of this food difficult
The central powers expect to win this
war because of the food shortage
which they believe is impending in
the allied countries. This hope is not
entirely without foundation. We be-
lieve that we will win this war, but
the greatest care must be used with
food, since food will be the determin.
ing factor.
ut is clear that unnecessary meals
work against the American arms in
the same nature as the submarines
It is simply a useless waste of food
The American woman has ingenuity
with which to meet the demands Of
new situations. Now it is clearly uT
to the American woman to bring this
ingenuity to bear in planning her so
cial affairs. Social affairs should not
be discontinued, but the serving Of
food, aside from necessary meals
ought to be discontinued.
"This does not apply to food dem
onstrations for educational purposes
When one woman has found a methot
of utilizing some substitute, she ought
to tell it to her neighbors and friends
A good way to tell about it is to dem
onstrate it, yet the demonstration
should be on a small scale and with
out any intention Of feeding the aud
fence.

NO WHISKY BY
AUGUST /, 1919

Statisticians have figured out that
at the rate the United States supply
of whisky is going there won't be a
drop of whisky left by the summer of
1919; in fact, that by August I, 1919,
all the whisky left will be in private
hands and not for sale, and there will
not be much of that. When the pres
ident stopped the distilling of whisky
September 8, 1917, the supply was
presumed to be ample for a couple
of years. There r only about 157
million gallons left. Our normal con-
sumption of whisky is about 100 mil
lion gallons a year.

Food and Fuel Supplies are Short ir
Many European Countries.

A Swiss commercial paper states
that there is a great shortage in coal
of all kinds, an insufficient supply of
wood for fuel, and small reserves in
oils and grease throughout Switzer-
land. Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market. Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce. A project to
manufacture flour from potatoes had
to be abandoned because sufficient
supplies of potatoes could not be Sc
cured.
In Holland coal and coke prices
have been advanced. In American
