nalstgh. Notwithstanding It's Oft.
ssSsAtsd AAd proven assertions that
ia attitude toward all dealers In food.
stuhs Is first Of all friendly, and that
It Is DESTROYS Of cooperating with all
handlers Of foodstuffs, rumblings Of
impotence at petty prohteering are
beginning TO be heard around the
quarters Of the Food Administration
In this city.
That Food Administrator Henry A.
Page has at heart the interests Of the
producers and handlers Of foodstuffs
has been demonstrated by his action
In Strengthening out the wheat situa,
ton In the state and by his attitude
toward all wholesalers and retailers In
their respective conferences here; but
Mr.. Page is not famous either for his
patience N the face of injury, nor for
his forbearance when laws are be-
Ing violated and people oppressed
through the greed Of grasping or un.
patriotic dealers.
Offenders to be Put Out Of Business.
Where wanton violations OF the
law and policy Of the Food Admins.
rstion are found, 1t is anticipated
that the offending dealers will be pun
ished BY the simple procedure Of put
ting them out Of business. Where
profteers are shrewd enough to stay
barely within the bounds they will be
put In class Of suspects and watched.
In order to give the consumer bet.
ter protection and to secure from the
consumer more effective cooperation,
the Food Administration contemplates
offering to the papers throughout the
state occasional price lists showing
the average cost Of staple food com
modities to the dealers and the price
at which dealers should be able to
buy. The publication OF these prices
should be Of inestimable value to the
people Of the State.
What's In Store for Hoarders.

reached II from two counties In the

under present conditions.
Consumers Of food commodities as

provisions Of the Food Control Law

or both. and in addition, the commod

Large Purchases lnexcusabIe.
State Food Administrator Henry A
Page points out that there is abso
lutely no excuse for purchasing food.
stuffs in large quantities. because
1) prices have been stabilized and
are no more apt 10 advance than they
are to decline. and (2) the Food Ad.
ministration's first concern is to sup
ply our own people with foodstuffs and
It will not permit the expectation OF
such an amount Of any commodity as
will endanger the supply necessary for
home consumption.
The great injury that would be
worked by this practice is clearly
pointed out as follows:
a. II would add to the burden OF
the railroads, which are already
strained to the breaking point.
(2) II would tend to advance
prices and thereby work an injustice
to all consumers Of foodstuffs.
(3) It would deprive our own sol
diers, the soldiers Of our Allies, the
civilian population Of our Allies and
the hundreds Of thousands Of STARv,
ING WOMEN AND CHILDREN In
Europe, OF foodstuffs which are need
ed not only to help win the war, but
to save innocent people from actual
and certain starvation.
In the face Of these facts Food Ad'

Little Women to Tag.

The United States Fuel Administra-
tion announces that January 80 next
will be National Tag Your-Shovel day
The 21,350, 900 school children of the
country will perform the patriotic work
of tagging the coal shoyels in Ameri-
can homes
In this extra effort to save coal for
war purposes the government seeks the
tion Of the daily. weekly and periodical
press, motion-picture theaters and in
dividuals.
Tag Your Shovel day falls on We'd
nesday. and it is expected that gov
ernors, mayors and teachers will unite
in arranging for a school holiday-one
of the few special national school holi-
days ever proclaimed. Two great print
ing plants are now turning out the tags
and posters. and it may be taken for
where, except those who are unfor-
tunate enough to be down with measles
or mumps or something. will be On the
job January 80 for Uncle Sam.
The Fuel Adm mnistration points out
that this tag day is different from all
other tag days. Instead of asking for
cash contributions the school children
will demand that householders save
money-saye money for food, for war
savings stamps, for liberty bonds, and
ment's coal pile.
The school children will not neglect
any coal shovels. no Inatter how humble
or how exalted they may be. President
Wilson's shovel at the White House
will be tagged. as well as the shovels
of governors. mayors, millionaires and
wageworkers.
In the minds of the Fuel Administra-
the schools Tag-Your- Shovel Day will
be a serious occasion. Its main purpose
is to help supply the machine power to
help the man power win the war.

More Nurses Needed.

Thirty-seven thousand five hundred
nurses will be needed in the Army
Nurse Corps OF the medical depart
ment. according to present estimates
based on an army OF 100000 men.
Daily numbers of nurses are being
called for to meet immediate needs in
Army hospitals In the United States and
for duty overseas The present rate of
enrolment does not meet the demands.
Hospitals at National Guard and Ma
tional Army camps still need 371 nurses
to bring the quotas Of all up to the
minimum considered necessary SIS
each.
Since the Army Nurse Corps made
public, early in December, its urgent
need for more nurses. 1903 requests for
application blanks have been received
and the blanks forwarded. During the
same period ISL nurses have applied for
enrolment and many of these already
have been accepted. In order to get the
enrollments UP to the needed number
some of the requirements heretofore
imposed are being waived. Just as soon
as immediate needs Of cantonmsnt hos
pitfalls have been cared for a reserve of
100 nurses will be organized for
emergency service in the United States.
