towns and villages and many
prominent representatives of
commerce and business. The
fundamental purpose Of the con-
clave, it is announced, is not to

jects, but to plan how the vari-

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS MINI. 1918

The statement that there is plenty
Of rye and barley in France, which has
been given wide publicity in this coun.
try, is fatty refuted by Pitney, who
said:
It Is not only wheat that is short in
France, but all cereals. According to
official figures, the annual consumption
of barley in France before the war was
approximately 1,25Q,000 tons, Is per
cent Of which was imported. Produc-
ton has fallen off 50 that nearly one
third Of the barley had to be imported
in France last year.
"The normal consumption of rye is
about the same as for barley, but nor.
NAL imports are only about 8 per cent.
In 1915 the production was about 40O,-
OOO tons under normal and no imports
were available.
Italy Worse Off Than France.

Broad general statements have been

Shortage OF Milk
One OF Disastrous
Results OF The War
Lives Of Thousands of Babies
Threatened il: Supply of Milk
Sis Not Kept Normal.

Washington. March .2o.-one Of the
most disastrous effects which can
come from the world war and =. one
which threatens the future life, of the
nation is the curtailment of the milk
supply for children, says a bulletin
just issued by the children's sbuFteauio of
the United States department OF! labor.
MIX is described as the Indispensable
food for children and. whenever the
milk supply Is limited the life and
health of the people is imperiled.
The probable effect of the war on
the health and welfare Of our children
lis best learned from the experience
Of the European countriesi 1t is to
avert such conditions as now exist in
Europe that the children's bureau of
the labor department is pointing out
the necessity of increasing and con-
serving Jul milk supply.
this country must prepare to feed an
ever increasing number. This can be
done in two ways-by increased pro-
duction or by decreased use of food.
Food may be saved by eating less, by
substitution, or by elimination of
waste. None of these methods will
impair the health Of the adult. But
the child cannot have its food cur
tailed. Neither is it wise to attempt,
e%xcept<in the case of cereals, substitu-
ton of foods, asserts the children's
bureau. e.
Before the war the United States
imported large quantities of milk pro-
ducts from the northern European
countries. Likewise our allies and
particularly England and Belgium,
depended to a large extent for dairy
products from these countries. Now
this supply is completely shut off. The

the new creature against the weak
ncsses Of the flesh, and are not in any

These sentences occur in a book,
entitled, THE Finished Mystery: a

principally written by the late Rev.
Charles Taze Russell. and peddled in
this city by J.. H. Berg, who now is
lodged in the county Jail charged by
the federal authorities with aiding
and comforting the enemies by cir
culating the book. in which these and
other similar passages occur.
From the imprint it is learned that
the book is published by the Interna-
tional Bible Students association at

vertising pages at the end of the
book it appears hat this publishing

fences in different parts Of the coun-

or directly inspired the greater part
OF the work. 1t contains numerous
quotations from the bible, and many
Of the symbolistic interpretations
placed on these are Ear from being
unbiasedly religious.
On page 248 appears the following
statement: 1.-The most virulent and
devastating disease Of humanity now
raging on earth is militarism." And
on the following page the militarist
is described a being comic in his SER

writer strives to give an impression of
being impartial as he denounces war
madness appearing in Germany as
we'll as in allied countries, and he
then continues:
"War is in open and utter violation
Of Christianity. If war is right, then
Christianity is wrong, false, a lie"
