TO PREVENT ADULTERATION

Federal food inspectors have been
instructed by the Bureau of Chemis-
try, U. S. Department of Agriculture,
to see that only shipments of oysters
free from adulteration enter interstate
commerce The most common way to
adulterate oysters is to soak them, say
the specialists. When oysters are
soaked in fresh water, they absorb it
like g sponge. The bulk of the oys-
ters, as well as their weight, is in
creased by soaking. Four quarts of
oysters can easily be made to grow
into five by giving them an opportun-
ity to quench their thirst for fresh
water They do not absorb an apprec-
liable amount of salt water. The ship
ment of soaked oysters into interstate
commerce is a violation of the Fed
eral Food and Drug Act. The sale of
such oysters is also prohibited by the
laws of many states.
Oysters should never be shipped
from beds which may be polluted by
sewage from cities, say the specialists
of the Bureau of Chemistry, who have
surveyed, in collaboration with the
Public Health Service, many of the
oyster beds on the Atlantic coast. Fed
eral, State and city food officials are
cooperation to keep of the market
oysters from polluted waters.

FLOWERS FOR WINTER

Women who love flowers are busy
preparing bulbs in bowls, which must
be planted this week if the flowers are
to be a-bloom by Christmas. The best
bulbs for early Towering are white
Roman hyacinths and the vivid scar
let dwarf tulips that look so gay in the
depths of winter. Mixed bowls of
these have very good effect, or bowls
of mingled pale pink and mauve tulips,
or of sulphur and lemon tints are also
charming. The special fibre is the
best planting medium and should be
kept well moistened but not wet.
Big. deep bowls or Jars are needed
for the tall decorative lilies that can
be raised so successfully in fibre, but
well drained flower pots and good
potting mould are best for crocuses.
These bulbs also do wonderfully well
in sunny window boxes, planted as a
border and between small hardy
shrubs, which serve as a protection to
them. Oriental bowls are prettiest for
bulbs, especially the new blue or green
Chinese patterns.

u. S. GOVERNMENT
MAY CONTROL PAPER
Regulation Of Industry And AllOca-
ton OF Output Likely After
December l

Government control of the news
print paper industry. by which paper
will be distributed to all newspapers
in the country TO protect the smaller
newspapers, Is being considered by
Chairman Baruch, of the War Indus
tries Board. December l is the date
the control would become effective
under the present plan.
A tentative plan has been worked
out by the Pulp and Paper section Of
the board for Chairman Baruch's ap-
proval.
Operation of paper mills by the gov
ernment IL not contemplated, but the
entire newsprint output of the coun-
try would be allocated according TO
each newspapers requirements. thus
assuring a supply to the smaller
papers, now said to have difficulty
in obtaining newsprint from the mills.
Chairman Baruch said that investi-
CATION of the newsprint situation dis
closed that some action by the gov
ernment toward equitable distribution
of paper is necessary. Some larger
newspapers, he said, nave been aDle
to purchase an ample supply, and in
some cases have more than their re-
quirements, while smaller ones face a
serious shortage, which threatens sus-
pension of publication.
1t is considered probable that the
new plan, if accepted, will supersede
the present restriction OF the use OF
newsprint, which reduced the news
space in daily newspapers Is per cent
and Sunday editions 20 per cent
Mr.. Baruch intimated he would be
in favor of alloting each newspaper so
much paper to be used in any way the
publisher desired.

THE REPUBLIC MONDAY

1t is an interesting narrative which
is enclosed within these five reels of
THE Girl From Bohemia" Alice. the
heroine of the story (played by Mrs.
Castle), is Bohemian residen. of the
Latin quarter of New York city
which we may add for the benefit of
the uninitiated is situated within the
confines of that old world section of
the worlds most modern city known
as Greenwich Village and Washing on
Square.
Alice thinks she is sculptress, and
she also thinks she is a Bohemian
But when a legacy in the shape of a
moiety of the ircome upon $4,000, 90
is bequeathed to her on condition she
shall jointly keep house wi h her
maiden aunt in the country, it does
not take Alice long to make up her
mind that rural life plus very COM
Portable income has charms which
transcend those of Bohemia sans a
bankroll
OF course her advent to the sleepy
country community of Maytown,
causes considerable perturbation,
especially as Alice brings along many
of her Bohemian dresses, and all of
her Bohemian ideas and ideals, and
she manages within a short time to
arouse not a little scandal
OF course, as in all good screen
stories, everything comes out right in
the end. After many adventures,
some of which are thrilling enough
for a Pathe serial, including an excit-
ing swim in a rough sea in order to
save the child of the village saloon
keeper, averting strike in the ship
yards by making rousing speech to
the hands and waving "Old Glory" in
their faces, after all these happenings
Alice and the right man are 'irised
out" as their lips meet at the end.

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Danny Lila Lee in her first screen
story, THE Cruise of the Make Be
heves," delightful picturization of
the famous novel. will be the extreme
ly enjoyable attraction at the Colon
lal this evening. The story of 'The
Cruise OF the Make Believes" has to
do with little Bessie Meggison. who
lives on Arcadia stree, in the poorer
section of New York. Bessie has a
ne'er-do-well father, and lazy broth
er, but she manages to keep the home
together by renting out part of the
house TO lodgers. When she becomes
unhappy she goes 10 the back yard of
her home where she has rugged UP a
ship of make believe out of old chairs,
canvas, and odd pieces of lumber. She
is often visited by Gilbert Byfield, a
young man who lives mex. door. and
together, they go on long and wonder
ful imaginary trips to foreign lands.
Byfields is apparently poor, but real
ly is wealthy and is living in
the slums to write book on social
conditions. Wishing 20 make Ressie's
life happier he arranges with her
father to take her to his (Byfields)
country home in Dream Valley, for a
months vacation. Meggison is not TO
tell her that it is Byfield's home, ac-
cording to the agreement and Meggi-
son carries out this schedule with a
vengeance by telling Bessie that
Dream Valley is his, and that he has
suddenly become rich through wise
investments. The deception is finally
shown up, but Byfield and Bessie, who
have fallen in love with each other,
are reunited happily.
Lila Lee makes Bessie Meggison a
humorous, imaginative and lovable
figure, and her acting is always sure
and vivid Raymond Walton as
Bessie's father, does some of the best
comedy character acting of his career
Sis Meggison is always true to life,
yet laughable all the way through.
Harrison Ford gives a very delightful
Interpretation of the role of Gilbert
Byfield. "The Cruise of the Make Be-
lieves," is just the sort of story that
is needed nowadays. 1t is clean spir-
tied, and humorous, and will prove
extremely pleasing and entertaining
throughout Don't fail to see this fine
picture for you will truly be delight
fully pleased with the captivating lit
tie star Pathe News also.

LEARNING TO LIVE
WITHOUT WASTING
How England is Increasing Her Pro-
ducti0n OF Food. America
Not Working Hard

A grabbed and skeptical citizen with
naturally bad disposition, or a sly
German propagandist may be heard
to ask, why does America have to
work so hard to feed Europe? Why
aren't they producing their own food ?
Not much of their land is in the hands
of the enemy. What is England do
ing?"
In the first place, America is not
working hard. We are only learning
to live without wasting. We have no
serious deprivations, and Europe is
producing food. Every bit of land in
France and England that is tillable
is now used for raising grain or veg
etables.
But we must remember that we
have taken over the responsibility of
feeding Belgium, which would actual
ly starve without us, and that there
are two millions of our men in France,
England and Italy, and even in Rus
sia, to whom supplies must go from
home
As to what England is doing, we
have only to read in the War Cabinet
much more food now than she did two
years ago. There are now about 270,-
900 women in agricultural work in
Great Britain. An active recruiting
campaign was undertaken and provis-
ion was made for the training of
workers by means of short courses at
colleges, Institutes or on the farms.
Before the war there were about
$4,000 women employed in agriculture
in England, Scotland and Wales. The
great expansion was due largely to
the work of the volunteer organiza-
tion of the Women's War Agricultural
Committees, Village Registrars and
District representatives.
There are 100000 more acres un-
der cultivation now than before 1916.
Some of this land, under the Defense
of the Realm Act, was cultivated un-
der orders from the government BY
law the government could enforce cul-
tivation of land when it was discov-
cred that it was not properly titled.
Steps have been taken TO survey
areas of land which could be improved
by drainage. In Scotland survey was
made of deer forests with a view to
Restocking tracts of land with sheep.
Other districts which have never
before been used as agricultural lands
are now producing vegetables and
grain The government has taken
possession of unoccupied land, and al
lotted it in sections to city residents
who would cultivate it in their spare
time.
The Allied food administrators are
in touch with the food situation of the
whole world, and the program they
have outlined is for the good of us
all. America is not doing more thar
her share. In fact, the burden of wal
has fallen most lightly upon us. We
do not expect to be rationed by com
pulsion, as the British, French an(
Italians are. Our sugar ration of two
pounds month, for instance is pure
ly voluntary.
But we are asked, as patriotic cit
izens of a great republic, fighting will
worthy associates at our side, in th'
war, to conserve all food by eatinl
| less. and to waste nothing

EMPTY STOCKING CLUB

There will be children this year, al
though not to such great numbers as
formerly, who will have empty stock
ings unless the Empty Stocking Club
comes to their relief.
Some of these children are among
those whose fathers are in the war, or
have died, and whose mothers have a
great struggle to take care of them.
To these and other needy ones, the
Empty Stocking Club desires to take
cheer and comfort at Christmas, and
the following committee is preparing
to fill stockings at Christmas time:
Miss Adele Randell, chairman; Mrs.
Edward d. Johnson, Miss Nellie En-
mis-, Miss Sara V. Sutherland, Visiting
Health Nurse, and Miss Isabelle Nc
Nasty.
The Committee desires dolls, toys,
children's games, books and money, to
be sent to Miss Adele Randall, Ran

MILLION CATHOLICS IN

TWO HOUSEWIVES
WHICH IS RIGHT?

Martha plans her meals week in
advance. Every Monday morning,
when the children have gone to school
she sits in a quiet corner where no
one will disturb her and makes out
complete menu for the week.
First she reads in the morning paper
the list of foods and prices published
by the food administration This she
consults to see which are the abund-
ant fruits and vegetables. and which
are scarce. and how much the retail
er should charge her.
Then, beginning with Monday din
ner, she writes the menu for every
meal until the next Monday, and
makes a copy for her maid.
She is a proficient housekeeper who
plans carefully to avoid all waste, to
get the most out of what she can af-
ford TO buy and to make into attract
i've "lef-overs" for the next day what
ever may remain from the days meals.
She prefers to have two or three
wheatless days a week. and meat on
only three days, with fish, fowl, or
delicious egg dishes on the other four.
She goes to the shops early every
morning, and consulting her little
menu book buys quickly and, on ac-
count of being there early, gets the
best vegetables and fruits.
If she is Unexpectedly called away
at any time during the week her maid
follows the schedule exactly.
Emily, her next door neighbor, on
the other hand, never knows what she
is going to serve until about an hour
before each meal. She thinks she is
patriotic for she works all afternoon
making surgical dressings. Then she
hurries home at 5 o'clock, runs into
the butchers shop, buys some chops
without asking the price; to the gro
GERS and takes whatever he has left
She complains because the corn is not
good, and he says
"Well, Madame, the best of it was
taken by the customers who were
here this morning." So she buys the
last of the string beans, although she
knows that her husband dislikes them
and thatlmost of them will be wasted
Hurrying to her apartment, she
finds that she has forgotten that there
were enough tomatoes left from yes
terday, so she did no need the fresh
ones she bought. Well, she will use
the new ones anyway The others she
will have to throw away in the morn
ing.
She has to go away on Wednesday
Unexpectedly. The maid, left to her
own devices, orders what she likes,
and will not use the left-overs.
Which one is doing her duty as an
American Observation-Disclosures, who
plans her meals a week in advance
and makes every penny and every
calorie count, or Emily who buys
planlessly at the eleventh hour, vast
ing time, money and food?
