FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
LIST Of January, Hon. w. ]. Hanna, Can
ada's Food Controller, says
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage in Eu-
rope Is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve on the part Of the pro
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part Of all rs consumers, can pos
sibly ave the situation.
France last year had a crop be-
tween one-third and ohe-half that Of
a normal year. Women did the work
OF draught animals in a determined
effort to make the impoverished soil
Of France produce every possible ounce
Of food. They now look to US to make
up their deficiency of essential sup
piles.
THE harvest In italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
1T is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
fOOdstuf from India, Australia, New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering is to be avoided and the fight
ing efficiency of the armies maintained.
ION December /, the United States
had not a single bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis OF
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration is endeav-
Oring to bring about a reduction Of 70
per cent In home consumption OF wheat
and -four. This would release 100000
600 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly FIVE times that
amount before the 1918 harvest.
Canada is the only country in the
world, practically accessible to the Al
lies under present conditions of ship
ping shortage, which has an actual ex'
portable surplus Of wheat after allow
ance for normal home requirements
The surplus today is not more than
110,0O0,OO0 bushels. A reduction of 2C
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 1O,000,00C
bushels for export. The outlook fol
production Of food stuffs In Europe
next year is distinctly u~nfavorable.
"Such is the situation-grave beyond
anything that we thought possible 9
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means to us, to Oul
soldiers and to our Allies, and Of the
terrible possibilities which 1t entails
disaster is inevitable.
production, too, must be increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres
emit war conditions demand extraordi
nary efforts, and every man, woman
boy or girl who can produce food has
a national duty to do so.

oyster Fishing by submarine.

Mr.. Simon Lake, the father of the
modern submarine, has suggested the
use Of the submarine for polar explora-
ton, for ferrying supplies across ice
bound rivers, for seeking sunken treas
ure, and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated to
Mr.. Lakes satisfaction that when the
submarine is at the bottom of the
ocean, the oysters can be sucked up
into 1t on the cleaner prin-
clple. When traversing good ground,
the submarine will suck up 5000 bush
els Of oysters in an hour. This means
that in one hour a mass of oysters
will be collected which, If cOmpactly
piled, would require a cylinder one and
three-quarters mile long to hold it.
The idea should be particularly useful
to the pearl-oyster fishers, as of Cey-
Ion, for instance.

Copenhagen, Feb. A copy Of a
pamphlet issued by the Independent
Socialists, which reached Copenhagen,
shows that the strike in Germany was
prepared by them. The pamphlet
points out that the Pan-Germans have
brought the peace negotiations and
the future of Germany into great dan
ger.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, leader Of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declared
that he was satisfied with the govern
ment's plans concerning the east. Such
a declaration, says the pamphlet,
proves that the government is in col
fusion with the advocates Of violence,
and just at this moment the Reichstag,
the only place where the a%nnexation-
list policy could be attacked, is closed
and other means of criticism made i'm
possible by the government.
Our press is gagged, our comrades
are imprisoned, and the factories to a
still greater extent are materialized,"
continues the pamphlet.

classes, there is no time to lose! After
the horrors and horrible suffering we
have undergone, a new and frightful

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use Of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampo that we can
recommend to our readers is one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair and may be enjoyed at
very little expense, by dissolving a
teaspoonful of Canthrox, which can
be obtained from any druggist, in a
cup Of hot water. This makes a full
cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it
is easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just to the top Of the head.
This, when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand of hair, chemi-
cally dissolves all impurities. 1t is
very soothing and cooling in it's ac-
ton, as we'll as beneficial to both
scalp and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, clean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries quick
ly and evenly, developing a bright
luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy.-Adv.

GERMANS SHELL
u. S. SECTOR WITH
GAS EXPLOSIVES
tBy Associated Press

With the American Army in
France, April S.-Two German raids
on different sectors of the American
position northwest OF Tout were re-
pulsed this morning with enemy
casualties. The Germans were driven
off before reaching the American
trenches, by accurate machine gun
and automatic FIRE.
AT one point the Germans laid
down box barrage. As soon as
this lifted, the Americans came up
from their shelters and poured a
heavy fire into the advancing raiders,
who retired after a short period Of
close fighting with the American out
posts.
At another point the Germans
threw hundreds of gas shells before
advancing, but the Americans quickly
donned their masks and waited for
the raiders. These they quickly dis
persed by their fire.
