CONTROLLING FOOD CONSUMPTION.

The difficulty of controlling food consumption in individual homes are numerous and sometimes insur- mountable.
 Sincerely working according to a food pledge is all right, but it isn't always done, particularly if tabooed food is left over from a previous day and will be spoiled tne next.
 For instance: A woman in town was confronted with a meatless da5. But she had meat left oves from the previous day. which would he spoiled the day following. What was she to do? Let the meat spoil?
 This is only one of the problems.
 But the new method of controllins the consumption of food at the source of supply is far superior. In the long run. it would seem not to matter so much on what days person eats certain foodstuffs so long as his net consumption throughout the week is according to government specifica- tions.
 The food administration. through it's subsidiary state and county or izatiops, now has firm srip upon both wholesale and retaN food dis pensers, and there is no reason why consumers cannot be held in perfect check, pledge cards or no pledge cards.
 Rules curtailine the amount of sugar, flour and other essentials that a person can buy, and the insistence that other grains be purchased wits flour-this is THE efficiency method that brings results.
 And if little more efficiency is needed, the card system will produce it.

, The war has changed the outlook quite bit, and the uncertainty exist ing is not conducive to peace of, mind
 There is a feeling-or rather, wa one-that the output of passenger cars and trucks not used by the gov ernment would be reduced Later re- ports have it that there will be no interference so long as the work of the government is not retarded.
 Uncle Sam has a director of steel supply and government gentlemen operating the railroads; the ono cao say who is to have steel, the others can direct where it is to be hauled. It is needless to say that the prob abilities are that the passenger car business will get the leavings and the drippings.
 But cheer up The leavings and the drippings, in this great country, may be an ample sufficiency" to supply the demand for new autos. We hope so.

BUMPER WHEAT CROP IN FRANCE EXPECTED

Paris, Feb. 1.-The condition of winter wheat in the departments of France which give the largest yields is reported by an expert, who has just finished a tour of inspection, to just ifv fully the most optimistic hopes fo1 the 1918 crop.
 Prospects are good for greater crop per acre than in any year since 1914.
 Preparations for spring seeding arc we'll under way and it is probable the acreage will exceed that of last spring by nearly one million. There is an equal increase in the acreage of win- ter wheat over 1917.

CUTTING IMPORTS TO SAVE
 SHIPS.

Cutting the volume of imports to the United States 50 per cent is one of the measures under consideration by the administration to make avail able more tonnage for transportati;a of troops and supplies.
 There is no reason why neutral tonnage cannot be utilized to attend to our import needs. With only A. 900 O0O tons of our own shipping to rely on, and 100000 tons of this engaged in bringing us articles re quired in our industrial life, it would seem that our entire shipping should be devoted to the army and supplying it as much as possiblei. and that neu- trad ships could well take the pNace of the 1,0oo,O00 tonnage we need for merchandise.
 It takes from four to seven tons of supplies in continuous transit to su2- ply one soldier at the front, and the more troopers we have on the west ern front the greater wlli be the strain on our shipping facilities.
