Five Des Moines bakers were fined
a few days ago for not using the
proper amount of substitutes in max
ing bread. They contributed all the
way from $25 to SAG to the Red Cross.
Two druggists at Salem were fined
SIS each for selling tee cream cones
on Mondays. 1t is up to the dealers
to obey the regulations of the food
administrator or suffer the conse-
quences. The people are back of the
administrator and have no sympathy
for those who knowingly violate the
rules laid down.

Yes, prohibition would throw a lot
of fellows out of employment, but
there was never time when their
services were needed in legitimate av-
enues of endeavor more than now. 1t
would help in the harvest of the
crops if the million men engaged in
making booze and selling lie across
the bars of the country would quit
tomorrow and tender their services
to the farmers of the nation. OF
course a saloonkeeper would not be
worth much on tie farm, but he
might be able to make his board
while at the same time doing some
thing worth while. That would be an
economic saving to The nation.

PROSTATE upon the ground and let

the extreme penalty, if necessary, to
preserve the liberty of the world?

Miss HUFF Joins Singing Orchestra.

Miss Hester Huff left last night for
Chicago in response to message from
an entertainment bureau Offering her
a position in a singing orchestra made
up of young lady musicians. Follow
ing a weeks rehearsal in Chicago the
company will start on six weeks tour
in the west, through the states of

one and the trip to be taken by the
troupe will undoubtedly be a very in
teresting experience for her.

The Hon. Jeanette Rankin is a car
dida.e for the United States senate
from Montana. She was elected to the
lower house of congress two years ago
and has made a record fairly satisfac-
tory, though she went wrong on the
resolution declaring that state OF
war existed between the United States
and Germany. Miss Rankin had taken
seriously the talk about ''him keeping
us out of the war" and seemed to think
that he could and should do it just
as easily after being reelected as be-
fore. But Jeanette was new in poll
tics then. Possibly she now has q
different view of things in general and
the duties of representative in con-
gress in particular. Here's hoping
that the Hon. Miss Rankin may win
the senatorship-if the people of Mon
tana want her to-.

ed. Later, every woman in the unit
was presented with the Russian mill
tary cross by the Russian government
in recognition of this deed of bravery.
Thru all these difficulties the
women doctors were handicapped by
an even greater obstacle-the general
lack of sanitation in Servia. DIR. Caro-
line Matthews describes one hospital
in which eats frisked about the
kitchen with their young, crawling
under the feet of those who went to
pay the cook a visit; untidy orderlies
ate at the tables and soldiers broke
the great pyramidal blocks of Russian
sugar with Ratchet on the far from
cleanly floor where many feet had
passed and repassed." Later, when
cholera followed typhus in Servia,
Doctor Matthews says it was prac-
tically impossible to keep the patients
isolated. The peasants would not
realize the danger and in the general
confusion resulting from too much
work for too few hands, they sneaked
in and out among the cholera patients
without the doctors seeing them
Thus it is not surprising that CRATE
full recognition has at last come to
women doctors all over the world.
For no man who reads Sthe records
of these heroic women working in the
danger zones of Europe during this
war could ever raise a dissenting
voice against the woman doctor.
