The SPIRIT THAT Wins.

In a recent speech on Americas
spirit in the war, DR.. Ray Lyman vii,
bur quotes France and England as say
ing to Germany: "n The Nation
that has sent the type of men that
America has sent to France will never
go back on them or go back on the
soldiers and people fighting with those
men"-upon which DR.. Wilbur com
ments as follows:
THAT is the spirit we have put into
this war. That is tbs spirit in these
noble men who have gone to France
the men of the Army and the Navy
Faith in those men has given the PEG
pie over there faith in us, so that they
are willing to go on"
But they cannot go on without food,
This year America sent II, 500, 900 tona
OF foodstuffs across the Atlantic. Next
year she is pledged to furnish 1850,
600 tons. In normal pre-war times the
figure was $3.50 900 tons
To be ready to meet this increased
need, food conservation must be- in
tensiied. Every individual must keep
within his sugar ration, must eat only
Victory bread, must follow each sue
ceeding regulation of the Food Admin.
<istration faithfully and periodically,
and must eat not morsel Of food that
he does not need, In order that Amer.
lea may continue to show to the Allies
the spirit that wins.

SOAP FROM FAT SCRAPS.

Economy is developed to its fullest
extent by the armies in France and
Flanders. In connection with the COM
missariat Is a department for the elm
nation of waste, and each soldier, e1-
cept in the very front trenches, where
It would be impossible, is compelled to
scrape his plate for the purpose. This
refuse is gathered up and collected at
certain points behind the lines, where
1t is sorted and put to various uses,
not the least important Of which is the
soap used by the Army and Navy.
The art of soap making, which a
hundred years ago was known to al
most every household, has never quite
died out, and could very proftably be
revived at the present time. Full di-
rections for it's making aA given with
the various brands Of I've upon the
market, and the aggregate saving
achieved in the thousands of homes on
this North American continent would
be little short of marvellous.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

Perhaps we think we are learning
something new in learning cornmeal
cookery, but we are not. Aside from
the fact that we use gas and electric
ovens or coal ranges and that they
used crude wood fires, the dishes we
make Of corn are much the same as
those learned from the Indians by ouI
ancestors centuries ago. In fact, they
were familiar with the knack of max.
ing bread of mixed grain and there
was quite vogue for a bread called
rye and injun," which was not IN.
like some Of the Liberty breads of the
present time.
And so our lessons from Colonial
days might be extended. They pre-
served the summers abundance OF
fruit and vegetables for winters use
and preserved it without sugar, anG
this is the very latest demand of the
food situation in this country. They
dried vegetables and fruit and We
cannot do better than to dry fruit and
vegetables in much the same way that
they did. They knew a scarcity OF
wool and they conserved wool, anC
we are asked to do the same They
made soap from drippings, and We
are asked to save every bit of fat
either to use ourselves or to sell te
soap makers.

Friday, November LIST, 1918
SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT.

President Wilson has become
the leader of all the allied nations.
To no one else does the world
listen with such respect. He is
even, cheered in Germany and
Austria. He is recognized as a
far-sighted statesman OF dlsln-
terested purpose and high ideals.
He will come very near to settl-
ing the terms at the peace table.
We must fight for a decision,
yet not for revenge. We want
to get a settlement that will last,
yet not one that will create per-
manent hatred and lead to other
wars.
President Wilson is a safe man
as a leader at this time. He is
thoroughly committed to push
the war until the democratic ma
lions are safe from the aggress-
ions of the beastly Hun. But ne
would not 60 to the length OF
revenge that some would urge.
When he sees that the real aims
and ends of the war have been
achieved, he will stop right there.
We can safely leave to him and
his advisers the decision as to
when the time has come. We
can be sure that he will not sac
rifce thousands of lives and bill
ions of treasure, merely out OF
anger and desire for reprisal
There being then this world
confidence in Mr.. Wilson, it is to
be hoped that all his countrymen
estimate him at his right value.
Furthermore at the approaching
Congressional elections, we must
provide him a Congress that Will
most readily follow his leader
ship. The Republican candidates
are seeking election on the
ground that they will support the
war better than a Democratic
Congress.
If Mr.. Wilson wanted Repup-
lican Congress elected, we should
listen to him. But he does not.
He can work best with Con-
gress of his own party, pledged to
support him as leader. Therefore
why not give him the kind of
Congress that he feels would
help him the most?

INDUSTRIAL DESERTERS.

The time has come when the man
who leaves his post in American in
dustrial life for technical enforcement
of his prerogatives must be branded
as traitorOus industrial deserter. We,
the people of the United States, through
our government, are employing mil
lions of men in the most eXacting sery-
ice that involves risk of life itself for
many and unimaginable hardships for
all, and their maximum pay is $50 a
month and board. National self sacri-
fee and cooperation should be our
watchword Every man who does not
help binders the victory of democracy.

CHURCH SUPPERS.

Church suppers can be very good
things from a food conservation stand
point Perhaps the least waste Of food
is accomplished by the cafeteria sys-
tenn where each helps himself to the
food which he desires. By this time
most people are pretty well trained not
to take things which they will not eat

ministration may be helpful:

RED CROSS WANTS PEACH
STONES

A further plea for saving peach
stones for use in making gas masks,
Is made by the American Red Gross.
1t is pointed out that to make 100000
Of the best gas masks needed for the
Army, Navy, ambulances and hospital
service, will require 35,000,000 pounds
of peach stones.
The Federal Government has asked
the Red Cross to use its organization
for collecting these fruit stones.
Stones Of apricots, prunes, plums,
olives, dates, cherries, walnuts, Bra
lillian nuts, hickory and butternuts
are also of value for providing carbon
for the gas masks and should be saved
with the peach stones. Italian cherry
stones are not to be saved, as they
have no value compared with native
cherry stones.

DIVIDENDS FROM PLEASURE.

Somehow or other it is hard for
some of US to realize that work IS not
q curse; that the man who would find
real happiness can find no better place
to seek it than in his work Work is
play when approached in that manner
But we have been making ourselves
believe that work is unpleasant merely
because it is work. We can never reach
that bright place in the sunlight of sue
cess which we call the top of the lad
der" as long as We persist in adopting
that attitude. Nobody ever has, and
nobody ever will.-Industrial Conser-
walton, New York.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.

We desire to call the attention
of the Democratic voters of oul
county to the Congressional cleo
ton to be held on November 9Th,
That it is necessary to give some
attention to the election should
appeal to every voter. The Pres
ident is DESTROYS to have a Dem
ocratic Congress to aid him in
not only carrying out war meas
ures, but also to cooperate with
him in reconstructing affairs
after peace has been declared.
The registration held on October
LIST and 9Th, and the revision on
October Is, show conclusively
that little interest has been mani
tested in politics. No doubt the
terrible scourge and war condi-
lions have diverted the minds OF
all from political issues, however,
we should at least devote a small
portion of our time to the election
which will play no small part in
placing the conditions of our
country on a firm-footing after
post bellum days.
The Maryland Democratic
State Central Co mmittee has re-
quested us to impress upon our
readers the Importance of the
election on November 5th. A
Democratic victory Throughout the
State would mean greater aid to
President Wilson in still further
promoting a successful Admins
tration, and the same support
should be given him by electing
a Congress controlled by his own
party as was given President
Mckinley when confronted with
the problems of the Spanish
American war. In this connec-
ton former President Benjamin
Harrison (Republican) pleaded
for the election of a Republican
Congress to support Mckinley.
He is quoted in the Philadelphia
North American of November l,
1898, as saying:
If the word goes fourth that
the people Of the United States
are standing solidly behind the
President the task of peace Com !
missioners will be easy, but if
there is a break in the ranks-if
the Democrats score a telling
victory, if Democratic Senators,
Congressman, and Governors are
elected-Spain will see in it a
CLEAN of hope, she will take fresh
nope, and a rem eWal Of hostilities

Fair Price List.
Fair price list issued by the Food

Fair price list issued by the Food
Administrator. October 10Th, 1918.
The fair price list sent out to the
County Administrators and the County
press from Baltimore City, is based
each week upon the wholesale prices
charged in Baltimore City and the
prices accepted by the retail dealers of
Baltimore City as showing fair mar
gin of profit. In applying these prices
to County stores, the fact should be
kept in mind that the County dealer
who purchases supplies from Baltimore
City must add to the price which is
charged in Baltimore a transportation
cost, in many instances, to his place of
business, including freight and, in
some non-railroad or wharf points,
truck or team transportation. Where
these differences exist, they must be
recognized in the retail price, and the
dealer allowed to add this cost to the
price paid by him in Baltimore City.
