END OF WAR WILL NOT
STOP FOOD PROBLEMS
Present Conditions VIII Continue un'
I'll Long After Hostilities Have
Ceased, State Marketing
Bureau View

The end Of the war will not end the
food problem. 1t will continue, per-
haps indefinitely, says the State Mar
kekting Bureau. The authorities IN
Washington have figured out that we
shipped an average Of 5,S33,OOo tons
of foodstuffs to Europe for the three
years each preceding the war. For
the year ending July l, 1885, we
shipped 11,S2O,OOO tons. The esti'
mate is that our shipments for the
year ending July 1, 1918, must be
1850 900 tons, or an increase OF
nearly six million tons more than last
year. That is vast quantity.
The burden Of supplying our Allies
with food falls upon America A
statement of requirements and condi-
lions as given out by the Food Ad-
ministration in Washington, In part,
is as follows:
Cereals for human consumption,
5OO,OOO,O0O bushels; fats (pork prod
ucts, vegetable oils), 1900, OOO,O 900
pounds; sugar, 100000 tons; beef
products for civilian consumption
9OO,O00,OOO pounds; in addition to this
beef must be imported for army
needs and oats for army horses.
"If this program is fulfilled there
will be no need for drastic rationing
of their food as during last year, ex
cept in beef and sugar. The worlC
shortage in these two commodities
makes it hopeless to satisfy thejl
whole need.
ut will be bad winter in Europe
because coal will be much shorte
than ever last winter, and the healtl
of their population cannot be main
tanned in their allowance of brea'
and fats"
The task before America is a sterl
one. This will not be accomplishe
off hand. There must be universe
effort in producing and conservs
ton Food problems will not sto
abruptly, like turning off light 0
stopping clock. A thousand thing
: take part in the matter, but simmere
down it resolves itself into more pr,
duction, preservation Of what is Or,
duced, judicious marketing and tn
"clean plate" in eating. There mus
be no waste.

Think it over. 1t is a good tnihs

responsibilities resting upon the

ADIEU TO THE aFLU"

serves that may be brought from else

on our laurels. We must stand united
in this fight as we have against the
Hun. Certain restrictions have been
removed, but other precautions must
continue. The first evidence Of a re-
turn Of the enemy should call FOR its
immediate determination. Check the
disease in its incipient stages and the
fight will be easily won. Have regard

NEW METHOD OF
TELLING OF WHETHER OR
NOT YOU CAN SING

A method of testing the ability Of
any person to sing, without seeing
him or even hearing him, has been
devised by Theophilus Fitz Of this
city recently director of music In the
State Teachrs' College and Colorado.
This method, which Professor Fitz
SAYS is his contribution to Science"
is based upon a series Of measure
ments of the head cavities that he
declares he has worked down to eS.
act mathematics. He does not find
it necessary to see. touch or hear the
subject, as his work which he terms
voice diagnosis" has become as def
mite to him as mathematics. All he
asks is that certain measurements oil
the head be taken correctly.
| After learning these measurements
and those of the subject, he makes bis
own calculation as to the size ant
shape of the head cavities and an
nounces whether the subject, if ;
girl is soprano or contralto, and i
a youth whether he should sing thu
role Of basso or of tenor robusto
| Mamie often sings soprano jus
because Susie does, although sh,
ought to be singing contralto", say,
Professor Fitz. "And Bill insists IN
on singing bass, because he thinks i
is manly when he really ought to b,
tenor"
Persons with round heads make til,
best singers, he says because thei
head cavities are the most symmet
rical those with long heads com
next and those with oval Uranium
