WILL MAKE 1T HOT
FOR GREEDY ICE MEN.

A committee of experts was recently
assembled by the Food Administration
to consider the special physiological
problems involved in the general prob
lem of wheat conservation. This com
mittee was composed of the nations
foremost authorities. DR.. Raymond
Pearl. of Johns Hopkins University,
was the Maryland representative,
The question most seriously asked
of this committee by the Food Ad-
ministration was: To what extent can
the wheat to which we are now ac-
customed in our diet he reduced with
out injury to the health of the indi-
viduals of the nation?
The answer was direct and unequiy-
ocal. 1T is the scientific opinion of
the committee that in mixed diet
wheat may be entirely replaced, with
out harm. by other available cereals,
namely, rice, barley, oats, and corn:
However. we should not recommend
this except as an emergency meas
ure."
The report then explains that the
particular reason for not recommend
ing this apart from the fact that wheat
is perhaps the most convenient cereal
for use because of its special qualities
connected with the making of bread in
loayes that will stand up and remain
sweet and palatable for several days,
is that going without wheat would be
n psychological, though not physio-
logical. deprivation. We are accus-
toned as nation, just as most of the
nations of Europe are, to the use of
wheat bread, and a sudden break in
our custom would have for some peo-
pie a psychological significance more
or less disturbing.
However if these people could well
understand the emergency leading TO
the change. and then could recognize
that they were aiding their country in
the great emergency by making the
change this psychological disturbance
would be much reduced
Ii is the belief of the Food Admin
istration that most of the people in
this country who can dispense entire
" with wheat from now until the
next harvest will be glad to do it for
the sake of maintaining the wheat
bread supply for the armies and civil
ians of our fighting associates in Eu-
rome as we'll as our own soldiers in
France.

After Income Tax Payers.

Joshua w Miles,, collector of inter
nal revenue, for the district which in
cludes Annapolis aud Anne Arundel
county. has his force working over
time in order that he may get out the
notices to all persons who are to pay
income tax to Uncle Sam. The stipend
Gus character of the work can be best
appreciated when it is known there
are more than a million perons in this
district to be notified
The tax must be paid not later than
June Is. Collector Miles. in discuss
ing the law, said he was strongly in
| favor of abolishing the collection of
income tax from persons who pay
taxes on incomes of 81 900 and $4,000.
The tax derived from these small in
comes hardly equals the cost of col
lection. The tax averages from Is
cents to 81. and the cost of collection
of it is as great as that of collecting
81 900 or more.
The proposed new revenue law, Mr.
Miles says, should be passed at once
in order to give those persons affect
ed ample time in which to get their
returns in shape

Tobacco Warehouses Hit.

The high cost of labor has hit the
state in aother spot-a spot which will
react upon farming interests of Anne
Arundel county. This time it is the
state tobacco warehouses which are
affected. Until recently screwmen-
the men who open the hogsheads at
the warehouses-have worked for 50
a day Now they are to get 81, an in
crease of 100 per cent. The new scale
goes into effect June l.
The humble hop pole, which cir
Giles the slaves and holds the hogs
heads together, which formerly could
be bought at a nominal price. now
cost SEQ a thousand.
Because of the slackness of the ex-
port tobacco market the warehouses
are crowded with tons of tobacco. The
new crop is beginning to arrive and
the warehousemen fear they will have
TO engage room in storage warehouses
to care for part of it.

Cut Your Living Cost.

There is waste of S700,000,00
worth of food in the homes of this
country every year, the greatest pro-
portion of it being caused by careless
handling and improper cooking. The
Department of Agriculture lists the
five principal causes as the the garb-
age pail habit; allowing it to spoil in
the home: running it by careless cook
ing: wasting it by careless pairing
and trimming; serving too much at a
meal
If each one of the country's 100000
600 home wastes on an average only
one slice of bread a day. the country
is throwing away over 100000
ounces of fiour-over $4,000 pounds,
or enough flour for nearly a million
one-pound loaves a day. For a full
waste of over 319.000,e00 pounds of
year at this rate there would be a
four, $685. 900 barrels of flour
enough TO make S65,00O,000 loaves.

WHAT AMERICANS MISS
Without Having Bamboo Filipinos Use
Ii For Everything.

Our little brown brothers in the
tropics cannot understand how citi-
zens of the United States get along
without bamboo, according to United
States Marines, returned from the
Philippines.
The Filipinos use bamboo for every
thing. They build their shacks from
this material exclusively, using stout
poles for the supports, fiattened-out
bamboo for the sides and floors, and
bind the whole together with tough
bamboo fibre. 1t is also used for the
construction OF barrels to carry
water. and green bamboo, followed
out, is used as a receptacle in which
the natives cook their rice. The
friction caused by rubbing together
two sticks cut from this useful tree
will start a fire in less than three
minutes.
The u. S. Marines have convinced
the Filipinos that America is a very
wonderful place, but when told that
we do not cultivate bamboo, the
islanders are inclined to be bit
skeptical

STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC
Refined Sugar To Be Sold Domestic
Trade By Firm-NOt Through
Broker.

Earl D. Babst, President or The
American Sugar Refining Company,
has made the following statement:
This company has announced that
ii will hereafter sell refined sugars
to the domestic trade by means Of its
own selling organization. instead of
through brokers.
1t is like using our own trucks in
stead OF hiring from an. express COM
pany. The sugar broker Is nom
essential middleman. He neither
buys. sells. produces nor manu-
features.
The announcement that this COM
pany would deal direct with its GUS
toners has had the widespread ap-
proval of the trade We have as yet
to receive a single letter of protest
from a customer or consumer.
The efforts OF myself and of my
associates have been directed against
speculation. manipulation, boarding
and wastefuI practices in the sugar
business. In wartime stress we have
sold our sugars al a lower average
price than any OF our competitors: at
times as much as a cent per pound
below them
We have no quarrel with the brok-
ers personally. We regard the system
OF brokerage as non-essential 1t is
wholly incompetent to provide an
equitable distribution Of sugar.
Sugar Is too important staple TO
feel the pinch of the unnecessary
middleman.
At the present time there are be-
tween four and five hundred persons
in Duh selling organization. The
change announced will affect but CO
hundred and forty-five sugar brokers
out OF the seven hundred in business.
Obviously it is an economic waste for
double machinery to be used in per-
forming the same purpose. The
policy stated in our public announce
ment was inaugurated several years
| ago. It has been effective in New
England since the organization of the
company In the year 1917 it was ap-
plicable to about one-half of our
business
In dealing directly with our own
customers, without the intervention
OF third parties. this company is car
rying out the policy of President VIII
son promulgated under the Food Con-
troll Act. ITO keep all food commodi-
ties moving in as direct line and
with as little delay as practicable to
the consumer"
