Pressing his hand, he said: You got there linn

Salvation Army in France.

The acid test of any service done for our SOL
diers in France is the value the themselves
place upon it. No matter how excellent our inten-
TONS cannot be satisfied with the result if the
soldiers not satisfied. Without suggesting any
nvidious distinctions among organizations that are
working at the front it is nevertheless pleasure to
record that the Salvation army stands very high in
the regard of American soldiers
The evidence of the Salvation army's excellent
work comes from many sources. One typical tribute
is printed editorial in the Stars and Stripes a
published by the soldiers. and its evident sin
cerity makes it worth quoting:
We'll, we are all homeless over here and every
American soldier will take back with him new
affection and respect for the Salvation army
Many Will carry with them the memories of cheer
ing word and a friendly cruller received in one of
the huts nearest of all to the trenches There the
old slogan of soup and salvation has given way to
pies and piety.' 1t might be doughnuts for dough
boys.
These huts, pitched within the shock of German
guns, ramshackIe, and bare, and few for no or
ganization grow rich the pennies and nickels
that tossed into tambourines at the street cor
ners Of the world But they are doing a work that
soldiers themselves will never forget and it is an
especial pleasure to say here because the Saliva
ton army being much too simple and old fashioned
to know the uses of advertisement, has never asked
us to-"
These words are significant not only because they
are a encomium of the work of the Salvation army
but because they give us the key to the sue
cess Of that work The Salvation army huts are
the nearest huts the firing lines there within the
shock of German guns, the Salvation army girls
serve our boys with coffee and crullers and dough-
And it is all done in the simple old fash
toned way which is characteristic of the Salvation
army.
In the matter Of funds, the Salvation army seems
to have been the Cinderella among relief organza-
tons Just the army is trying raise S. 900 900
in Chicago. and too little attention is being paid to
that effort. General Pershing cables his approval
TO Commissioner Esti. and the fact is hardly noticed
Well. It ought not TO require great advertising
campaign to raise tho money If the people come 10

THE RASPBERRY.
(By Olive Kennset.)

When Blair Tuttle's sister Maud
came home from finishing school
she unquestionably had been thor
oughly finished"
Maud had always been content
to wear hats that came from Mrs.
Crindle's, but since she had
brought home two hats from Mad
am Roses in New York she hadn't
any use for Crindle style.
Isn't that the most impossible
hat you ever saw" she said one
day when she was passing Mrs
Crindle's with that big, good
hearted brother OF hers, who was
now in the graduating class at
Truxdale. captain of the football
team and one of the most popular
men.

and absurd"

expected.

Submarine and the Food Question.

In the opinion of Harry A. Wheeler. state food
administrator, serious shortage of the things we
eat faces this country in July and August Meat
is becoming scarcer and everybody knows what the
situation is with reference to breadstufs. Bringing
of the submarine to this side of the ocean will
not help any. Whether the U-boats accomplish fur
cher material damage not. they have become a
factor in the food situation in this country The
difficulty Of getting ship bottoms to transport sugar
and tropical fruits from the West Indies and wheat
and meat from South America will be increased and
the shortage of these things will be even more
marked than it has been in the past.
The deeper we become involved in the war the
greater must be our effort to conserve foodstuffs
We should try more and more to subsist upon those
things which produced in our own country and
in our own community.

WE MUST Do EVEN
MORE!

Three months have passed since
Lord Rhondda sent his emergency
call to America for wheat. Accord
ing to the cablegram sent the 25th
of January a minimum of 100000
| bushels Of wheat was called for,
over and above the amount already
exported to Jan. !. II this was
not supplied, the British food con-
trolier announced, he could not be
responsible for the consequences.
Everyone knows what the result
of that call has been. No task has
ever been so generally undertaken
as was this by the rank and file of
the American people. Depending
upon the support of the people the
food administration answered Lord
RhOndda's cablegram as follows:
We Will export every grain that
the American people save from
their normal consumption. We be
lieve our people viii not fail to
meet the emergency"
The cry Of need from across the
water. raised in behalf of the
French, English and Italian govern
ments, was like an electric current
in millions of American homes.
Even more drastic conservation was
put into effect in the homes. The
$3.50 rule-an equal amount of sub
stitutes for every unit of flour sold
by the retail trade-Was instituted.
Surveys were made of the wheat in
the hands Of the farmers.
Many consumers have gone be
n ha
ment has asked. IN some states
whole communities adopted the
idea of total abstinence. Whole
sections of the country have gone
wheatless." We now find 1926 fed
eral, district, county and local food
administrators meeting in confer
ence and pledging 100000 Texans
to total abstinence From New York
spreads the idea of volunteer "a
tioning on the part of the well-to-
do.
Wheat conservation has had to
fight against many odds. Nature
was not kind at first. Transporta-
ton was held up. Much of the corn
upon which We depended for wheat
substitutes went soft And II took
time TO adjust the mills to the
grinding of corn meal and corn
-four in the greatly increased guam
titles.
Against all odds. conservation
won the day. BY March l the in
creased supplies began to flow to
the allies. Not as rapidly as we
could wish, and yet more rapidly
than might have been expected. We
sent in March | 500 O00 husbaIS ne
wheat 10 the western allies. This
was more than flve times as much
as had been sent the preceding
March, when fear of submarines
had kant ths RhiDments down.

T'IHIIE DAILY SHORT STORY

acterS is young gawk Of cOun-
try girl, and her part calls for Just
the kind of thing that you seem to
think that raspberry-sundae hat
stands for. 1 was thinking maybe
I'd get you to trim up something
for me, but / guess you couldn't do
any better than that hat"
Oh, Blair, it would be the hit
of the show"
Maud agreed to buy the hat for
her brother.
Caste lines were but loosely
drawn in TruXdale. The minister's
daughter had felt no hesitency in
marrying the son of the grocer
on the corner, the young doctor
felt it an honor to know the
daughter of old Dobbs, who drove
the station wagon.
So Clarice higgins came in for
her share OF the college fun-littIe
bright-eyed, slender Clarioe, who
had been known to every sweet
toothed boy in college as the dis
penser OF his favorite brand of
soda water or sundae.
But Clarice had cherished ambi-
ton. There was not enough scope
for her imagination in the task OF
soda dispenser. So when an ap-
prentice was needed at CrindIe's
millinery shop she left the foun-
tain on days notice. Blair Tut
tie could but feel a satisfaction in
knowing that hereafter those
bright eyes of hers would shine

War and Racial Deterioration.

war and Racial Deterioration.
Recently l have received many
letters from a class OF defeatists
who insist that militarism is an i'm
portant cause OF epilepsy Here is
such a letter:
you say that you do not under
stand militarism as a disease of
eptleptfc nature. Perhaps you have
never reviewed II from a medical
point of view as | have. War is
either crime or insanity or both
combined. l claim that he who
manufactures munitions of war
manufactures the germs of militant
epilepsy. The world is becoming
very badly diseased with epilepsy,
from the manufacture of unneces-
sary articles and articles of no food
value"
Rather a queer letter, with queer
reasoning, but a fair sample.
War is unquestionably one of the
greatest factors of race deteriora-
ton, of insanity and of epilepsy
But only in an indirect way. War
takes away the choicest men. The
physically sound, the brave, the
best type of young men go away to
war. The coward, the weakling,
the degenerate, the diseased, the
mentally warped and the physically
defective remain behind to pro-
create their kind. Insanity and
epilepsy are VIGOROUSLY more fire.

Another factor of insanity and cpl

must be sober, they must be free
from the handicap of venereal dis
ease. The kind of men that stay
at home is the kind of men that
have strong convictions about per
sonal liberty" and the right to use

Neglect Milk Tests.-With baby
week almost half over, the board of
health was startled Tuesday when
informed that no milk has been
tested by the city since DR.. Freder-
lex H. Lamb entered military ser
vice last August The old board,
it has been revealed, neglected milk
examinations completely after the
departure of DIR. Lamb, who had
been doing the work. DR.. George
Middleton, city physician, said yes
terday that some action would be
taken by the board at its next meet
ing on June IS. Thorough examin-
ations of the milk probably will be
instituted then. A complete set of
apparatus for making the tests WAS
purchased by the city several years
ago. The old administration
"scrapped" 1t for $3.50. 1t Is pos
sible that the board may decide TO
purchase a new set, and that the
city physician will take up the
work.
