Food.

London.-A dispatch to the London
Times from Petrograd says:
1.-THE famine in Petrograd Is becom-
ing positively alarming. There is prac-
tically no food in the markets or in
the shops. Two-thlrds, If not more, Of
the latter are permanently closed for
want of goods of all kinds besides food
stuffs. There is no flour, no sugar, no
potatoes, cheese, or milk, no grain or
greats, and very little meat. All Is
under control unless accidentally or
privately obtained. The principal nee
essaries of life have to be got when
possible through friends and chance
acquaintance at enormous cost if you
have money to pay for them, or as
meager rations doled out by the au-

PLANT FOOD DISEASES

You know something Of how
the United States department of
Agriculture protects Americas
100000 consumers against
diseased animal products.
Do you know that the depart
ment is just as vlgilant in pro-
tecting the same consumers
against diseased vegetable prod
ucts?
That, anyhow, is true.
But do not be too conceited
over what the department is do
ing for you.
The department is interested
in the consumer as an individ-
ual-in his personal welfare, In
seeing that he has good, whole
some foods.
But it is also interested in the
population en- masse-in seeing
that everybody gets ENOUGH
food.
Diseased vegetable products, Of
course, are not good for the In
dlvidual. But there is another
element. When vegetables are
allowed to become diseased, in
transit or otherwise, and have
to be thrown away, the total sup
ply of available food Is reduced
by just that much, and some
body has to d0 some more
scrimping.
Those are the two reasons
why the United States depart
ment Of agriculture devotes a
good deal of attention to pro-
tecting vegetable foods against
diseases found at markets.

Famine Stalks in Petrograd

thoritles, and absolutely inadequate
for subsistence. The present ration of
indigestible black bread, half baked,
with as much moisture as possible left
in 1t to increase its weight, is one
eighth of pound per day, and often
that is not forthcoming on account of
the hopeless disorder and universal
thlevlng habit.
Rob Without compunctlon.
Relatives and dependents rob one
another of food without conjunction.
Hunger has no conscience. If morsel
of anything is left on the plate for
later consumption it will disappear as
soon as you turn your back. Every
scrap has to be put under lock and key
after each meal. In my own case, the
house committee which receives flour
from the town authorities for distribu-
ton to us tenants could not account
for nine pools 1924 pounds) of -four,
so that we all had to 60 without any
bread for two days.
an spite of special commissions and
stringent measures against boarding
and speculation, profteering goes on
to a great extent among all classes.
In fact, food is a far more valuable
commodity than paper money and Sc
cretly circulates instead Of it. All con-
versation indoors and out is about
food and how to get 1t. Half the
working day is wasted In pursuit Of
sufficient to eat.
"As an illustration Of how far dis
organization and greed can go, / may
mention the fact that no fewer than
fifteen carloads Of rotten hares were
recently brought into town and several
attempts made to foist them on the
municipal executives; but they were
finally rejected and condemned. Good
hares are being sold at e. 10 shilllngs
apiece (nearly $3.50, according to
the rate of exchange before the wary
Hams at $500 Each.
'Prices of other articles are quite
fabulous. Hams are offered at f40 apd
EGO each. Butter costs AZ shillings a
pound; cheese, shillings a pound;
white flour 80 shillings a pound eggs,
3 shillings apiece carrots, 5 shillings
a pound; potatoes, 6 shlllings q pound.
With the exception of occasional lin
tied sales most of these articles can
only be obtained privately.
"In these circumstances the British
community in Petrograd, which is now
reduced perhaps to about 500 persons
who are unable for various reasons to
leave Russia, felt obliged to induce
the British consul and the incumbent
OF. the English church to wire to Lon.
don for a few edible supplies to help
US tide over this serious crisis. l am
told that a telegram to this effect has
been sent to the foreign office, but so
far no assistance is Forthcoming. We
do not want luxuries, but few cases
of crushed oats, for example, some
sugar, margarine, and flour, would be
a god-send.
'There has been no essential i'm
provement of internal affairs here. On
the contrary, the situation in many
respects has been going from bad to
worse .

Your County Accent.

Do not forget that there is a sort
of deputy secretary Of agriculture who
is always ready to help you with your
poultry problems. He is the farm
demonstration for the United States
department of agriculture. He is COM
monty known as ''the county agent"
If there are young people in your
household he would no doubt like to
enroll them in the clubs for poultry
raising which are carried on in most
of the states. He is a good man to
get in touch with-and to keep in
touch with.

Christian Temperance Union.)
NAM DRINKERs FoR pRoHIsI.

MANY DRINKERS FOR PRoHIRI.
TON.
As an example Of nquor-users who
acknowledge the evils OF drinking and
are helping to vote out the traffic is
the millionaire packer, Patrick Cud-
ahy. He is doing fine antlliQuor edu-
catlonal work in his packing plant at
Cudahy, Wis. In an open letter pub
nshed in the Milwaukee Times he thus
describes some Of the effects of a
worldwide prohibition as he sees
them: IT
IF some all-powerful person were
to appear at the present time on earth
and perform a miracle, changing all
the booze in the world back to water,
and Issuing a decree that any person
who attempted to make another drop
OF 1t would be struck dead by an cleo
trio bolt from heaven, just imagine Il
you can the change that would take
place in the world, say ninety days
after this event. See the red noses
changing to white; the fat beer bloats
shrinking to their natural size: the
man whom alcohol made a brute of.
returning to his normal condition; his
wife, whose life this alcohol brute sad
dened and almost destroyed, returning
to her normal condition; the wrinkles
and tear burrows In her face being
smoothed out the color coming back
to her cheeks; her eyes becoming
bright again; her saddened and
wretched face becoming joyful and
happy.
'In short, the home that alcohol
made wretched is now joyful and
happy.
1--WE also see the saloons changed
into places Of usefulness-some Of
them ice cream and soda water par
lors. A great many of them are used
for book stores, for the men who spent
their time in saloons are now reading
books.
"The saloonkeepers themselves have
gone back to their trades and are now
useful citizens. And by doing away
with alcohol we do not need nearly
so many policemen. About seventy
per cent Of the policemen have been
discharged and are engaged In other
employment in the shops, and on the
farms, changed from idle men to use
full producers. The prisons, such as
our house Of correction, are changed
from prison to recreation halls. The
grounds about them are converted
into beautiful parks. People are now
saving the money formerly spent for
booze, Savings banks are sprlnglng up
all over the country. In short, the
drunkards and criminals Of the world,
made so by alcohol, Of all classes, are
now industrious people and living
happy lives. What glorious change,
if this could be brought about, and
it may be partially brought about some
time by prohibition"
Mr.. Cudahy confesses he drinks both
beer and whisky, yet seeing the evils
Of intemperance he uses his influence
against the saloons in his own town.
A friend of his, Mr.. J. P. Benscher, In
a letter published by the same paper.
says:
II am not prohibitionist. I drink
beer, although ! have never touched
whisky, but I have seen the misery
which it has created, and / shall do
everything within my power to wipe
out the thirty-eight bum factories
which we now have in Cudahy."
Many drinking men, rich and poor,
are taking the same attitude.

during the next II months, they will
help great deal. If their patriotism
is at all manifest, not to say militant,
they will help a great deal. For the
nation to mature a wheat crop and
then fail to harvest 1t would be exactly
as bad policy as for the government
to mobilize and train an army and
then poison 1t.

"No one understands the saloon bet
ter than those engaged in the business.
They live as far from it as thelR
means will allow; they know that DO
saloon can live except as it draws
money to the bar that is needed by
wives and children round about. They
know that the saloons in the city can
be traced by the raising death rate
among little children that die from
neglect because the money to which
they are entitled is squandered at a
neighboring bar. They know, too, that
when the alcoholic habit is once fast
ened on man or woman, 1t travels
in the blood and that little children
have the door of hope shut on them be-
fore their eyes have opened to the
light of the day.

NINETY PER CENT DROP IN
DRUNKENNESS.

Drunkenness in Ogden, Utah, during
five. months of prohibition decreased
approximately 80 per cent. During
the first seven months of 1917 there
were GIG arrests for drunkenness as
against 60 since August i, 1917, ac-
cording to the report of the police de-
partment. The Salt Lake City News
records the fact that more Of the stock.
men than ever before brought their

Of the family with them to the conven-
