war BREAD COSTLY To
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays 200,OOO,OO0 toward the cost OF
that nations war bread. That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
British bread Is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price. and all imported wheat
bought In markets OF the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over 10
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at rs cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents. and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more flour Is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is com
pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 60 per
cent. pure AT It's best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar hut with larger extrac-
ton. the four pound loaf sells for 10
cents.

WAR AND PEACE CASUALTIES
More Spectacular 20 Lose Limbs IN
Rattle Than In Factory, but Re
Education Ia Necessary.

George Edward Barton, author OF
~Re- Education," recently gave out
most interesting interview in WASH
ington, where he had gone to sec the
secretary Of war, the French ambas-
sador and the heads Of several de-
partments Of the surgeon generals
Office on the subject Of the re-educa-
ton Of MANNED and crippled soldiers.
Mr.. Barton, who is head Of Consola-
ton House in New York, said in
part:
"The needs Of the re-education Of
cripples are not made by war, but are
only intensified by il; we draft a
whole army Of industrial eripples
every year. The federal commits
sion on industrial relations gives the
annual list Of accidents, approx
mately, $4,000 fatalities and 200, 900
injuries involving disability Of over
four weeks.
"That these figures would be
equaled by the casualty list in our
army overseas is improbable, and
while it is perhaps more spectacular
to lose ones arm or leg in the din
the turmoil Of battle than il is "a
lose the same member in that Of a
mill, factory or foundry, the resultt
so far as the individual is con.
eerncd-are practically the same
and the needs Of society for the re
education Of that man are identical.
Mr.. Barton's book formulates ,
plan whereby disabled soldiers ma,
be made almost or wholly self-sup
porting.

MINOR SCRIBES
TO. ORGANIZE
Call Is Sent Out for Them to
Gather at Peoria.

Efforts will be made at the owen
tios Of the minor leagues in Peoria this
month to effect an organization Of
minor league sport writers, similar to
that now existing in the major leagues
and there Is a hope that If the organi-
zYtion Is perfected that 1t can coop
crate with the Baseball Writer'S asso-
ciation, the present union of major
lesg u scribes, though the primary OBJ
ject Is to benefit minor league writer's
in their own field.
r. B, Smith, of the Peoria Star, who
Is active in the movement, has sent
out a number of invitations to sport
writers in minor league circuits and
believes there will be enough response
10 permit first steps to be taken at
least. Never was the time more pro-
pitious, he says In his invitation to the
sport writer's, for them to assert them
selves. The reorganization of profess
sional baseball a not be effected I'M
less the press gets behind and boosts
the effort, and Smith thinks that man
behind" should meet with his fellow
scribes and decide on some definite
program Of action.
Baseball writer's In various minor
leagues In the past have had their or
wanizations, with much mutual benefit
resulting, but this Is the first effort
TO form a general association of minor
gcribeg,
