BREAD AND BUTTER

The laboring classes, the salaried
people OF the country, are the hardest
hit in the wild rise Of food prices. 1t
IN their complaint with which the ma.
! ton is having to deal in the matter OF
making readjustments which vitality
affect these millions. Years ago there
were troubles with credits in the
country, for example in free silver
days, At that time the farmers were
hardest hit and their complaint was
low prices. Now the complaint is a
price too high for the necessities of
life and the salaried man is hardest
hit.
There are economists who say it is
due to inflated credits. 1t is true, ere
dts are inflated. The man who buys
tNtI yIIlInG anu lIht9 VII Il SdIUl OWN
finds that out. But that gets us no
further towards an explanation. We
might as reasonably say prices are
high because they are high.
But profteering is not all that is
wrong. The cost of production always
has something to do with the price
that prevails when the consumer
finally gets commodity. And first
cost usually is not attended by such
unreasonably high profits. Inflated
credits have to do with first cost in
way. Take for example, the labor
figured in the production of com
modify. 1t costs twice that of 1914.
And so it goes. Where are we to start
to get relief?
We believe the stroke at the food
prices will bring us back to safer
values. Profiteering is more marked
in food commodities. For instance,
the Dispatch recited the other day
the fact that the city of Baltimore
had over half a million pounds of but
ter in cold storage. The hoarders
were then selling butter at double
normal price. If that proportion of
butter is on cold storage in the other
cities of similar size in the United
States, there is butter enough to run
the county full twelve months ahead
Every pound of it ought to be brought
out and required to be sold at a rea
sonable, living profit. Were chat re-
quired, the butter cost would drop
fifty percent before tomorrow morning
and normal consumption wiuld be pos
sible again.
1t is an Indisputed fact that the
food commodities sent from here to
Europe are sold in Europe at lowerl
price than the American consumer
pays. The English merchants are tel
ling us this thing right along. Evid-
ences gathered indicate that unreal
sonable profits are taken on food
products.
Much is being said about the de-
ponds of the railroad unions for in
creased wages. Based on the ever in
creasing cost of his food, how can
he do otherwise? He is already gone
far beyond his own expectations i'll

vide the food for the family, what
then? The working man is entitled to-

without breakfast, which they receive

At the close Of the morning session
the pupils are given revolutionary
pampnlets to take to their parents

"All history in the Boshevist

No division is made into nationalities.

"If a teacher questions the doctrine

Colonel Not Competent to
Get at the Truth of Sit
uation, Returned Army
Officer Tells Teachers
Merciless Rules Barred
Reds Blast Home Life, Turn
Universities Into Restau-
rants, Degrade Women

Colonel Raymond Robins, formerly
head of the American Red Cross in
Russia, was assailed yesterday in an
address before high school teachers
and PRINCIPALS at the Washington Ir-
wing High School by Lieutenant A. w
kiiefoth, formerly of the American In
telllgence Service in Russia. as incom-
petent to discuss the Russian situation
Lieutenant Kliefoth asserted that Colo.
mel Robins's Interpretation of Russia is
false, and charged that Robins. not
knowing the Russian language and de,
pending entirely on interpreters for his
information,, was not in a position to
get at the truth of the Russian stua-
tion.
Lieutenant Kliefoth also denied the
story told by Colonel Robins of a
mutiny of American soldiers at Arch
angel. for which Colonel Robins was
called to order the other day at a pub
lie meeting by American soldiers who
had served on the Archangel front.
According to Lieutenant Kliefoth he
was ordered by the American COM
mander at Archangel to investigate
the report of mutiny and that all he
found was a complaint on the part
Of company of American troops
against tne lnSulnclent heatlnE OF the
railway cars in which they were to
depart for the front lines. Lieuten-
ant Kiiefoth said that he submitted
such report to the War Department
at Washington.
Startling Facts Disclosed
A short time ago Lieutenant Klie-
foth returned from Russia, where he
spent three years. In his address he
dwelt principally on education in Rus
sia and narrated some startling facts
on the methods used by the Bolsheviki
in running the public schools. He said
that in n" country was education more
under the sway of governmental beauro-
cracy than in Bolshevst Russia and
that teachers in Bolshcvist schools are
forbidden to deliver lectures to their
pupils until these lectures are first
censored by the department of educa-
ton.
"All the freedom in Russian Schools ,
said Lieutenant Kliefoth, "is extended
to the pupils, but not to the teachers
AS consequence the school system has
virtually collapsed and most of the

tuted, in which the children sever all
relations with their parents, relatives
or guardians.
"The chief social value of women be-
tween the ages of sixteen and forty
eight is regarded in her reproductive
capacities. Therefore the Bolsheviki
contend women of these ages should
not be burdened by family or hus-
band, although there are no DEGREES to
put this idea into effect"
At the conclusion of Lieutenant Klie-
foth's address Associate Superintendent
Edward Shallow deprecated the attempts
to fight Bolshevist propaganda in this
maintained that the only weapon that
should be applied against Bolshevst
propaganda here should be education.
Associate Superintendent William A.
Tildsley presided at the meeting.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and ali our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cleudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
hthia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time.

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Secret of Sir Waiter Scott's Marvellous
Literary Achievements Told In
Few Words.

"Never to be doing nothing" was the
simple but effective rule that enabled
Sir Walter Scott to get done the enor-
nous amount of work for which he is
noted. A passage in Lockhart's life of
the poet and novelist reads:
"Those who observed him the most
constantly were never able to under
stand how he contrived to keep him
self so thoroughly up with the stream
of contemporary literature of almost
all sorts, French and German, as well
as English. That rapid glance might
tell him more than another man could
gather by a weeks poring may easily
be guessed; but the grand secret was
his perpetual practice of his own grand
maxim. never to be doing nothing. He
had no 'unconsidered trifes' of time.
Every moment was turned to account;
and thus he had leisure for everything
except, indeed, the newspapers,
which consume so many precious hours
nowadays with most men, and OF
which, during the period Of my ac
quaintance with him, he certainly read
less than any other man l ever knew
that had any habit of reading at all.
! should also except, speaking general
ly, the reviews and magazines of the
time. OF these he saw few, and of the
few he read little"

twenty to thirty feet from the
locations calculated by the
