summer campaign of 1919, the food
problem, the Food Administrator de-
clared, is no small part of the issue
The allied civilians and armies, the
American armies, the Belgian relief
and certain neutrals who are depend
ent on the United Stats will require
II, $4,000 tons Of food stuffs for the
year beginning July 1st. This in
round numbers will include Meats
and fats 100000 tons; breadstuffs,
10 100000; sugar, 1,85o,00O, and feed
grains, mostly army oats, 100000
No Food Rationing.
There will be no food rationing in
this country so long as the people
continue to conserve as in the past,
Mr.. Hoover said, nor viii it be nee
essary, he hoped, to resort to wheat
less and meatless days.
Products to be Saved.
%of our imports" Mr.. Hoover
said, I'VE shall apparently have
sufficient sugar to maintain the pres
ent consumption and take care of the
extra drain of the allies from our
markets, instead of compelling them
to send their ships to the far east.
We can secure in sailing vessels the
coffee we need if no one makes an
over-brew. Of our own products we
must secure a reduction in consump-
ton and vast in the two great groups
of breadstuffs and meats and fats
that is, in all bread and cereals,
beef, pork poultry, dairy and vege-
table oil products. The average con-
sumption of our people of bread
stuffs amounts to about six pounds
week and of meats and fats to four
pouds week for each person. A re-
duction in consumption of less than
one-half pound per week per person
in each of these two groups of foods
would accomplish our purpose. We
wish to emphasize, however, that we
do not want curtailment in the use of
milk for children.
ut is necessary that every family
in the United States study it's food
budget and food ways to see if it can
not buy less, serve less, return mo-
thing to the kitchen and practice the
gospel Of the clean plate.

70 GIVE OUR BOYS A VOTE


The following suggestion from
Mr.. w. E. Baker, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, is
worthy the attention Of every true
West Virginian; Mr.. Baker is aiming
to start a movement that will give
the boys the FRANCHISE rightly belong
ing to them; what the friends cannot
do in this respect Mr.. Baker is doing.

Gentlemen:- spas
After having given considerable
study to the act permitting regis
tered voters, who are required by
military duty of this State or to the
United Safes to be absent from their
voting precincts on the day of cleo
ton, to vote by registered mail, l
have decided this act is very imprac-
ticable
Section Is provides that this act
shall be literally constructed so that
full force and effect shall be given
thereto.
have been casting about for
some practical method Of insuring to
our boys in the service of their
country the rights contemplated in
the passage of this act.
This act was passed by the extra
ordinary session of our legislature
May, 1917 At the same session an
act was passed creating your body
and since which time you have been
very active in connection with war
work carrying out the spirit of the
law.
| now suggest a movement which
IN my opinion would insure to our
soldier boys their right of franchise
in the coming November election.
You send together one Democrat
ic and one Republican representa-.
tive to each cantonment, Naval
Training Station, Naval Base. ayi-
alton field or army camp where our
West Virginia boys are located for
the purpose of instructing and assis-
ting them in making out their appli-
cations for ballots. Provide such
representatives with the name and
post office address Of all registrars
IN each county in the state together
with the number and local name Of
the various precincts represented by
each registrar, and further provide
such representatives with applica-
ticn blanks for ballots, stationery
and postage necessary for each
soldier to apply for and cast his bal
lot.
| would further suggest that the
Chairman of the Republican and
Democratic State Committees each
be requested to recommend their
respective representatives for this
work.
| do not believe that there is any
thing for which you could expend the
same amount of money that would d,
more to concince the boys in our
army as well as their local ones left
behind that the State of West Vir-
glnia is determined to do everything
in her power to give to her soldier
boys their every right.
| most earnestly ask that you con-
vane at the earliest possible moment
and Az upon this matter.
Most respectfully submitted,

1. fbrohan's Call ". y.
The new era inaugurated with Noah
Mt its head ended in colossal failure.
In view Of such failure God turned
aside from the nation as such, and cali
ed Abram out from his kindred and
land, and placed him at the head of a
new nation which he would train for
himself. This call involved:
l. A call to separation. He was to
leave the place of his fond associa-
tions for land unknown to him. ODE
dience to this command meant the sew
erance Of three ties. IA
~ His country in the widest
range of his affections. (2) His place
of birth and kindred, which comes
closer to his heart. (3) His fathers
house, as the inmost circle of all ten
/ der emotions" All this must be cast
off before the Lord could get him into
the place of blessing. When kindred
and possessions stand in the way Of
love and service to Christ, one must
renounce them (Matthew 10:37).
2. A call to heroic tasks. For Abram
to go into strange land and take pos
session of it for God called for the
heroic in him. 1t costs much to live
the life of separation, but it is TIC only
/ way to have Gods favor. Those who
are children OF faithful Abram must
trust Cod. II
II. Goes Promise to Abram wv.
2:3).
Gods demand for separation was fol-
lowed by seven-fold promise--a gra-
4 clous engagement on the part of God
to communicate certain unmerifed IA
/ vors aud to confer blessings upon him
/ /. Il will make of thee a great ma
ton" ". D.. This in some measure
compensated for the loss of his coun-
| try, He escaped from the dedling in
| fuences of his own nation, and became
the head of a chosen nation. This was
| fulfilled IN natural way in the Jewish
nation and in Ishmael (Gen. II :aol.
also in spiritual seed embracing both
! Jews and Gentiles Galatians 3:7-S).

Questions Fired at Men.

The governments division Of psy-

Yerkes. who makes his headquarters in
Washington, now has q personnel of
more than $50 specialists. A list of
questions has been worked out much
on the same plan as used by big BUSH
ness establishments who have occasion
to hire as many as 500 or moro ON
ployes in q weeks time. BY these tests
the examiners are able to test the men
in detachments Of 200 or more at a
time, and thus reach quick and fairly
accurate decisions as to their avail
ability for the various branches of the
service. The tests are Of great assist
ance in rating the men. and as many
as 1900 men can be examined in q
single day.
The actual test in the case Of even
a large detachment of mon takes less
than an hour. as the questions asked
are of simple nature. To test mental
alertness, a select may be asked to re-
peat the digits forward or backward.

DIET IS PELLAGRA CURE.
Public Health Service Prepares
Menu to Halt Fatal Disease.

Pellagra may be prevented and in
some cases cured by a well balanced
diet. according to a pamphlet being
circulated by the United States public
health service. 1t is said that pei
lagra. which was unrecognized in this
country until ten years ago. had be-
come a serious disease in some COM
munities. It is estimated that it caused
the deaths Of more than 5000 people
last year.
The paper. which is published in a
current number Of the public health
reports. says that pellagra is not COM
municable and that 1t is caused by an
unbalanced diet, consisting mainly Of
cereals. starches and fats, with but
little of the animal flesh foods or milk.
To prevent the disease. the diet should
include sufficient quantities of milk,
lean meat. beans. peas and green vese-
tables.
The public health service has prepared
a bill Of fare which. 1t says, will pre-
vent and will cure pellagra.

Sidelight. on the War
OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Although tho kaiser boasts Of his in
vincibility and certainty OF winning
the present great struggle. it never
| theless is true that he has made prepa-
rations to escape from Germany in
case his plans collapse and his people
seek . forcible reckoning. A super
submarine has been built for the kali
ser's special use for just such contin-
gency. A naval engineer who worked
in Germany and later escaped tells Of
this, the kaiser's craft in the follow
ing fashion:
II hoard much-concerning this won

'"rhe boat took long time to con-
struct, and SO far as was possible the
work was kept the closest Of secrets.
1t was built to special designs. and not
a single inch of it is standardized. As
you know, the ordinary U-boats are
flung together by the score from parts
turned out with amazing rapidity. But
such an arrangement would not be
good enough for his majesty of Ger

a popular description of its appear
ance. A German friend who had work.
ed on it. however, supplied me with
full details.
1.-THE exterior is not unlike the ordi-
nary U-boat, only 1t is larger and
more graceful in outline. The princi-
pal difference is in the capaciots inte-
rior. Here luxury is observable every
where. The cabin, which is for the
exclusive use Of the all highest, is the
last word in comfort and luxury. The
walls are paneled, and there are easy
chairs, a bed and a stout oak table.
But what is perhaps the most inter-
esting feature of all is q small safe

committee Of Americans is to be or
ganized to cooperate with the 1ega-
lions and their consular offices.
Secretary Lansing's Announcement.
Secretary Lansing announced the ar
rangement in this statement:
"In the interests Of the safety and
welfare of this country it has been
found necessary from time to time to
restrict the movements and fields OF
employment of enemy aliens. In some
cases these restrictions have worked
hardships on enemy aliens who In all
respects have shown themselves friend
ly to the United States. but who, owing
to the accident of birth and war con-
ditions, have been unable to change
their status as such and have of neces-
sity become objects Of charity. Like
wise the families of those enemy aliens
whom the government deems 1t advis-
able to intern are often deprived of
their means of livelihood, and they also
become dependent on the charity of
others.
"In order to meet this condition the
legation Of Switzerland and the lega-
ton of Sweden, in charge. respectively,
Of German and tro-Hungarian in
terests in the United States, have. with
the approval and cooperation of this
government, undertaken to systematic
and supervise all the relief that may be
given to needy enemy aliens, wherever
and however situated throughout the
country. In the case of the informed
enemy aliens and their families the le-
cations have agreed to supply all the
relief from their own funds, limiting
such relief to what is found after care
full investigation to be the essential
minimum.
1.-The case Of the law-abiding enemy
aliens has presented a more complex
problem. This it is proposed to meet
by the formation of a national COM
mittee composed Of American citizens
which, in cooperation with the lega-
lions Of Switzerland and Sweden and
the consuls under their jurisdiction.

among their class and will control

Mental and Nervous Tests.

: Many of the selectives. some of whom
have been discharged from the mill
tary service, have already undergone
tests for mental and nervous diseases
at the psychiatric ward of the base
hospital. which is under the direction
of Lieut.. Clarence Patten. Maj. Ray
ners assistant; but the tests which
are to begin today are Of a different
sort. They are intended to analyze
and weigh the mental capabilities of
large bodies of men in a short space
OF time.
1t has been proved in previous tests,
military exports say. that the psyche
logical examiners get as good line
on the mental capacity and adaptable
any rate, reach pretty much the same
conclusions in that time. as it might
take a company commander q month
to do.
These conclusions are reached by
means Of a system Of examination de-
vised by the Army's board of psycholo-
gfsts, which have not heretofore been
available to company commanders. but
are said to be Of great aid in sitting
mentalities.
