NATION TO Be
PLACED UNDER
RATION LAW
Compulsory Food Conservation
Urged by House Agriculture
Committee; Food Famine
Threatens Country.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Compulsory
food conservation is necessary in the
opinion Of members of the house ag-
riculture committee, which today sub
mitted its report on the bill giving the
president power to regulate public
eating houses and the distribution and
manufacture of foodstuffs. The bill
does not directly affect householders.
The report recalls that the presi-
dent has no power to enforce econ
omy in consumption under the exist
ing food law and that the success of
conservation plans depend entirely
upon the voluntary cooperation of
the people.
MANY SLACKERS.
The appeals to save food have met
with gratifying results, the report
says, and, adds "but there is a small
per cent of people who either will
fully or for lack of understanding
fails to respond to the call made for
patriotic duty"
"The food situation as it affects US
and our allies" the report continues,
"is becoming so critically serious as to
warrant the committee in the belief
that the necessity is upon us of adopt
ing compulsory methods of conserva-
ton in certain well-dehned directions.
1T would be foolish for us to shut
our eyes to the facts; it would be
cowardly in us to fail to attack the
problem of waste in foodstufs in the
most vigorous manner.
"The bill is designed to meet a sit
uation which is closely allied to con-
servation.
"If we ship to Europe all OF our ex-
portable surplus of certain foods,
there is never going to be more than
just enough OF such foods available
for consumption in the United States.

BREAD PRICE
IS DECLARED
TO BE HIGH
Chain Store Manager Testifies
Omaha Bakers Can Make
Fair Profit if Charge is
Lowered.

The testimony of w. D. Williams
general manager of the Basket Stores
in the food administration inquiry into
the cost Of making and selling bread
showed that bread can be made and
retailed for much less than the prices
held to be necessary by Jay Burns OF
the Jay Burns Baking Company,
Peterson and Pegau of the Peterson
& Pegau bakery, and a lot of other
bakers of Omaha, who testified pre-
viously.
| Mr.. Williams testimony showed
that his stores sell the bread at 71a
! cents retail. which is less than the
, other Omaha bakers are charging at
wholesale. -.- ., ....
Bakers Say 8 Cents.
The government is asking that the
! bakers wholesale, their brs4d at 71l
cents. The majority OF the Omaha
| bakers went before the food admin
istration with their records attempt
ing to show that they canrot whole
sale. it for less than cents.
Mr.. Williams was on the stand be-
fore Referee Henley in the office of
Attorney John w. Parish in the First
National bank building Saturday aft
ernoon. He operates a string of AZ
retail stores in Omaha, Council Bluffs
and Lincoln and testified that he re-
tails bread in these stores az 7R cents
per pound loaf. In Lincoln, where
the company operates its own bak-
cry, Mr.. Williams testified the COM
pany sells an average OF |, 500 loaves
per day.
Can you tell the cost of bread de-
livered at your stores in Omaha and
Council Bluffs?" questioned Attorney
Parish.
Eyes, sir" Mr.. Williams, "Six and
threefourths cents per loaf"
"And at what price do you retail
I'VE sell for 71z cents retail.
AT this price do you make fair
pro6t?"
Eyes, sir"
your company has bakery in
Lincoln?"
Eyes, sir"
Can you state the cost of produc-
ton at your Lincoln bakery"
"Yes, sir. Six and six hundred and
forty-six thousands cents per loaf.
This includes delivery charges"
Have you raised your price since
December?"
mo sir. We were retailing bread for
8 cents in December and reduced our
price to 715 cents in January"
you are now selling bread for "
cents?"
"Yes, sir"
"Can you tell the cost of production
irrespective of delivery?"
II can tell the cost of delivery and
it can be substracted. 1t cost $109.11
to deliver bread to II stores in Lin
coin"
What will that make the delivery
charges per Loaf"
"A small fraction less than one-half
cent per pound loaf"

to be examined during the investiga-
ton and the transcript of the testi-
mony will be prepared as rapidly as
possible and submitted to State Food
Administrator Wattles and be for

SECOND DRAFT
WILL Be CALLED
EARLY IN MAY
Unofficial News. From Wash.
ington Indicates That Prep
aratiions Are Completed for
Handling Another Army.

Washington, Feb. 23.-While War
department officials reiterate that no
date has definitely been fixed for the
calling of the second draft of the ma
tional army, all available outward in
dications would seem to point to
some time during the month of April
or at the latest early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equipping and
housing the men.
1t is no military secret that equip
ment and supplies for men Of the sec
ond draft will become available soon
after April |, and careful observers
look for the first increments to be
called soon afterward.
The number of men to be called in
the first increment has not yet been
determined because the question Of
housing them has not been disposed
Of.
There will be room for some of
them in camps and cantonments now
occupied by troops, and it is possible
that additional cantonments may have
to be provided.
1t is also possible that some of the
National Guard camps may be used
during the period. This phase OF the
subject is being given careful study,
but nothing has been dccided.

READY TO RETREAT.
1t is far in the rear and apparently
they are ready to fall back upon the
fortress of Metz from the St. Mihiel
salient this spring, as they did from
the Noyon salient, further west, year
ago.

The part of the line they would
give up if this maneuver is carried
out includes the sector near Xivray
and Seicheprey, held by American
troops.
The extreme depth of the retreat
on the center of the line involved
would be rs miles. The new line
selected, running from near Etain,
due east of Verdun to near the
Rhine Marine canal, where American
troops first went into action, would
be about 90 miles long, replacing
tortuous front about 20 miles longer.

of the front. From Verdun to Par
roy the French hold all the high
ground and look across the plains to
the east.
The German lines are in places on
the slopes of hills, and others in the
valley at the foot of steep declivities.
The correspondent was able from the

as new "Hindenburg line"

Proven Swamp-Root ,
Aids Weak Kidneys

The symptoms of kidney and
bladder troubles are oftcn very dis
tressing and leave the system in a
rundown condition. The kidneys
seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and
urinary troubles which should not
be neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to more dangerous kidney
troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which,
so many people say, soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys, is a splen-
did kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine, and, being herbal compound,
has a gentle healing effect on the
kidneys, which is almost Immediate
y~noticed in most cases by those
who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better get a
bottle from your nearest drug store,
and start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten certs
to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,
N. Y, for sample bottle. When
