SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of selling foodstufrs
owned by householders. Nor 10 there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls Of rumors that the government
intends Communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by prot German propagandists and part
ly by conscienceless grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.

is not justified. This practice may
eventually lead to harm as the vision
is not clear and objects may be mis-
taken as has proven in the past.
One of our men while out some few
days ago in the village during a
moonlight evening thinking he saw a
rabbit took aim and fred and upon
investigation found the object killed
was only bottle. The aim was good
and it sure got the full load. To be
on the safe side practice little safety

do same in daylight and if the game
becomes interesting that is to say
killing bottles why more can play at

Washington, Feb. 7.-Complete re-
organization Of the army and navy
medical departments and the public
health service, to bring the three
branches under the general direction
Of Surgeon General Gorgas, is con-
tcmplated, Secretary of War Baker
stated to the senate military commi-
tee Wednesday.
Baker favors this plan, he said. aud
It has been Endorsed by the surgeons
general of both the army and navy.
Startling disclosures of sickness
and neglect throughout national army
and national guard camps this win
ter is believed to have prompted the
proposed coordination of the three
great national health services.
Questions Bring Revelations.
Bakers revelations OF the impend-
ing movement was brought forth un"
der sharp questioning by Senator J..
S. Frelinghuysen as to health condi-
tions at environments.
Freylinghuysen also charged there
is widespread apprehension over pos
sibility of malaria and other fever
epidemics at the southern camps
should next summer prove unusually
hot.
Principal Point Untouched.
But, the principal point of tho
whole controversy-the question of
where the army is going to get ships
to transport million men to France
this year-was left untouched, partly
because Secretary Baker did not
have the detailed figures to show the
committee on what basis he made
mis- assertion and partly because the
committee got into squabble over
whether it would be proper to have
the secretary of war disclose the fig.
uses in public. The upshot of it was
that the question of ships was left to
be presented in detailed exact state.

session and the cross examination
went on to other subjects of a gen.

Work Ahead Of Schedule.

Was begun by Senator Weeks in con
ncction with the number of troops to
be sent abroad this year.
ION Jan. L." Secretary Baker said
more troops had been transported to
France including both noncombatant
and fighting forces, than had been
planned"
Secretary Baker and Senator Weeks
agreed that it was improper to dis
close the number of American troops
now in France.
Senator Weeks asked if it were
true that the war department had 1911,
900 tons of ships available for trans
porting troops Feb. 1. Secretary
Baker did not know, but thought taat
an underestimate.
Magazine Article Up.
The much discussed editorial in the
Metropolitan Magazine of which Col
osel Roosevelt was associate editor
attacking the war department prep
arat,ons to send troops to France
came up again. Secretary Baker had
replied to the editorial IN his first
statement by saying the war depart
men had done more than the maya
zi1e contended it should.
