AS to Shavino,

When it comes TO shaving we have
the word of Pliny for it that Scipio
Africanus was the first man who ever
shaved everyday. Whether Mr.. Afri-
canus shaved himself or was shaved
by a barber. Pliny does not say, but it
may be gathered from certain remarks
of Talleyrand that this is an important
point in any mans habits. Asked If
Napoleon cut his own whiskers, the
great French statesman replied:
Yes Ono born to be a king has
someone to shave him, but they who
acquire kipgdams shave themselves.

Byfeld and Miss Elaine V. Rosenthal,
embryo motor mechanics who were fit

motoring along and had to stop be-

chewing gum would stop the leak, since

OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICE
sources to Feeding Hungry Ma
tions Of Europe, He Declares.

The people OF America have con-
served. to win the war; they must now
conserve to save the world, r. B.
Mumford, federal food administrator
for Missouri, declared In a message to
the county food administrators and
chairmen Of women's committees. We
must now attempt TO develop among
our people a world conscience in place
of war conscience, he said. Our con-
servation slogan from now on must
be world relief.
"The work Of the Food Administra-
ton is not yet ended" said Mr.. Mum
ford. I'VE have still to protect our
own people and the helpless and des-
titute peoples Of Europe from the sor-
did and conscienceless conspiracies of
the profteers. We must not relax the
efforts which have been so successful
in accomplishing this desirable result
1T should be a matter of the utmost
satisfaction to all who have had a part
In the administration Of the food prob
lens of America, that they have been
able not only to protect our own peo-
pie from suffering, but that we have
provided sufficient supplies of food for
all our Allies. This is in marked con-
trast to the food conditions Of the Cen
trail Powers and their allies. In all
the countries directly allied with the
Central Powers, food conditions have
been extremely serious from the be.
ginning. If the food policies of the
German empire had brought misery
and suffering only for their own peo-
pie, who are responsible for this war,
we would not be materially concerned
but the German empire has not only
reduced its own people to starvation
but millions of the inhabitants Of in
nocent nations bordering the German
empire have died of starvation; they
have been destroyed because Germany
has stolen their food supplies and left
them destitute.
1T is our duty from the standpoint
or humanitarianism alone to continue
our efforts to relieve the suffering OF
the world until such time as nations
can be re-established and the normal
industries Of the world again put in
molten.
"The conservation measures of the
Food Administration have made pos
sible the successful feeding of our
army and the civilian population of
the Allies and neutrals. America is
now presented with the still greater
opportunity to demonstrate her un.
selfish devotion to the cause of free
dom and human happiness. We must
now direct our vast resources to the
feeding of the world. Our response to
this plea must be instant The food
Is needed now. We must export great
quantities of food supplies before the
next harvest if we are to prevent the
starvation of peoples with the conse-
Quent anarchy which will follow. Star
walton is the mother of anarchy. We
have conserved to win the war; we
must now conserve to save the world"

Abnormal drought last summer seri-
Ously injured the French harvest. A
warning has been issued that further
sacrihces, more stringent food restric-
tons, may have to be imposed.
France, facing the winter, is looking
to America to feed its people. Approx
imately 100.O00,00O bushels of wheat
are needed for daily bread rations.

from the Puy de Dome region. "All
the harvests have been brought in and
we are in position to measure our
needs.
Production this year has been sadly
deficient. Despite our expectations last
spring Of bumper crops, the deplorable
dry weather has ruined many rich agri-
cultural districts of France.
"There has been almost no fruit.
Vegetables are few. Cereals are poor.
Potato crops, on which we based our
hopes last year, are 80 per cent less
than in 1917.
'Only the wheat crops have given
any satisfaction at all. There has
been some improvement in them,
thanks to the awakening of the agri-
cultural movement in the abandoned
regions.
"But if our daily bread rations are
to continue throughout the winter we

hectoliters (between 100000 and
100000 bushels) of wheat.

the initiative. They must be willing
to make more sacrifices. They must
not be afraid of further and stricter
