WHY FOOD REGULATIONS DIS
CONTINUED?

Last year, under special rules and
regulations, the country savcd 112
million bushels of wheat. Only few
days ago we were notified that the
observance Of these "dnys end meals"
was no longer necessary.
Now, the authorities say we must
continue the food sacrifice of last
year. However, in the absence of
positive specified rules it will be diff
licult to get the people to fall in line
again, unless it ia known that every
body is doing the same, because ev-
crybody must. Something else be-
sides "oratory" is needed to induce the
people to take up agnin for year or
so an unpleasant and somewhat diff
hcult task, particularly, as the war
has closed, and the apparent neces-
sity no longer exists.
Unless explicit directions shall be
given as TO just what we shall eat,
and the suggestion of IL penalty for
nfraction Of the rules, there is not
likely to be "much doing"

1t is one of the miracles of financ-
ing that this war was financed with
billions ut home and abroad and left
the people who furnished "the sirens"
richer than they were at the begin

known or heard of heretofore. There
are few families out of the twenty
million in this country who did not
buy either Liberty bonds or War
Stamps and these prudent people now

Many OF the fumilos whose sons
were in the war profted financially
by allotments made under Govern
ment regulations, and in many cases
the boy in the army contributed more
to the support of his folks than he
did before. In many instances, by
far too many, advantage was taken
OF war conditions" to put up prices
and extortion upon the consumers
but it is also true that the people
who have accumulated money did SC

proves a blessing or a curse depends
upon the uses made OF what we ac-
