turned forward one hour. They were
turned back on October 81.
On May 81 Director General McAdoO
issued an order raising railroad freight
and passenger rates from 20 to % per
cent to meet higher costs of operations
resulting largely from increases in
wages aggregating approximately $780,
100000 annually granted to railroad
employees.
Government control of the railroads

One of the most impressive war
measures adopted by congress was the
man-power bill, placing the draft age
at from eighteen to farty-five years.
The measure was introduced on Au-
gust 5, was passed quickly by both
houses and was signed by President
Wilson on August 81. On September
II nearly 100000 Americans regis
tered for military service under the
new law.
In connection with the working Of
the draft machinery Provost Marshal

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Practically every phase Of American
life felt the dominating influence of
war throughout the year 1918.
In the field Of national legislation
wonans suffrage and nationwide pro-
hibition were urged as war measures.
The woman's suffrage amendment
was defeated in the senate October /,
after having passed the house. A
nationwide prohibition measure, to
become effective June 80, 1919, was
enacted by congress and approved by
the president November %. On Sep
TENDER 6 President Wilson had or
dered the manufacture OF malt liquor
stopped on December /, as a food
conservation measure.
The government, early In the year,
began to tighten It's control over indus
try and business for the purpose of
furthering war efforts and protecting
the public On January 16, to relieve a
serious coal shortage which threatened
to delay the shipment of war supplies
to France, Fuel Administrator Garfield
ordered general shutdown Of indus
try and business in all states east of
the Mississippi river for period of
i've days and ten succeeding Mondays.
On February Is the order for heatless
Mondays was rescinded.
Congress increased the safeguards
thrown about war industries by pass
ing the Sabotage" bill, carrying pen
aItinc of S10 On0 fine and 20 yparS' i'm
prisonment for destruction of war ma
terials or interference with war indus
tries. President Wilson signed this
measure on April 20. The government
also prosecuted vigorously many per-
sons accused of violation of the espion-
age act. On August II, 100 members
Of the /. w. w. were convicted of dis
loyalty in the federal court at Chicago,
after a trial lasting several months.

More history has been made in the
year 1918 than in any year that has
passed since time began. This mo-
nentous twelve months period comes
to a close with the world at peace aft
ter more than four years of the most
aanguinary fighting of this or any
other age.
During the year great nations have
crumbled, new nations have sprung
into being, thrones have tottered and
fallen, monarchs who once ruled hun-
dreds Of millions of people with an
iron hand have fed for their lives or
have fallen victim to the wrath of peo-
pies intoxicated by their new-won
freedom.
The coming Of peace finds America
and her allies strong and fully, able
to meet the responsibilities that come
with victory. On the other hand 1t

world catacIysm exhausted and torn
by civil disorders that are born OF de-

The end of the war finds Russia in
the throes of civil war The world gets
only fragments of news regarding the
real situation in the land Of the former
car, but these fragments have told
terrible story of anarchy and class
strife in which thousands of persons
have persisted, slain in bloody riots or
ruthlessly executed by the bolshevik
leaders who control a large part of the
once great empire. Peace finds the
menace Of autocratic militarism sup
planted by the menace of bolshevisrn,
which is attempting to extend its an
archistic propaganda throughout the
world.
But, amid all the uncertainties that
peace has brought, the world rejoices
that the last citadel of autocracy has
been swept away before the rising tide.

the millions who died upon the field of
battle did not die in vain. Brighter
days for all mankind have dawned
with the passing Of the year 1918.

WHISPERING PROPAGANDA.

In a booklet entitled .sThe German
Whisper" issued by the committee on
public information of the federal gov
eminent, through its associate chair
man. Harry O'Higgins, we find this
statement
"As matter Of fact, no liquor RAJ
ton is served our troops either here
or abroad No army canteen sells ale
coholic liquors. BY General Pershings
orders, our soldiers in France are for
hidden either to buy or to accept as
gifts from the inhabitants, any alco-
holic beverages other than light wine
or beer AS there is little beer sold
in France, General Pershing reports,
Men who drink are thus limited to
the light native wine used by all
French people. Even this is discour-
aged among our troops in every way
possible I hope to secure the coop
Grafton of the French government to
prevent the sale of all liquors and
wines to our troops. Personally. /
favor prohibition in the army, but it
is impracticable and inadvisable to
issue orders that cannot be enforced
without the cooperation of the French
government ."The charge of drunk
enness among our expeditionary
forces" asserts Mr.. O'Higgins, lis a
pro-German lie designed to alarm the
mothers and fathers of the boys who
have gone to France. The stories OF
immortality consequent upon drunken
ness are equally baseless."

BEER AND BILE.


Prof. w. A. Osborne. distinguished
chemist, explains, in q very illuminate
ing way. that the liver is especially
susceptible to alcohol poisoning, be-
cause the alcohol, before it is eliminat-
ed from the body, repeatedly assaults
that organ. Every one knows" said
Doctor Osborne, that the liver forms
bile, and that bile is poured into the
bowel. Now, when alcohol Is taken it
passes into the stomach. and from
there to the bowel, or small intestine,
and is absorbed there. Everything
that is absorbed from the stomach or
the bowel has to go to the liver. and
nothing is allowed to enter the gen.
eral circulation until it has been prop
erly sifted and treated in the biggest
organ we poSsess-the liver. 1t has
been found, in the case of alcohol. that
when alcohol has been absorbed in the
bowel it reaches the liver, and the
liver really does not know what to do
with it. There is practically no pro-
vision in nature for the utilization OF
alcohol "a very significant fact, | may
here parenthetically remark).
when alcohol reaches the liver the
liver manages to destroy some, but
great portion of it is turned out in
the bile, and once more reaches the
bowel, and then the liver, and this
cycle of operations goes on for hours
and possibly days, until the alcohol
is gotten rid Of. All this time it is
constantly irritating and injuring the
liver, and this explains the fact which
medical science has known for long
time, namely. that the liver is one of
the organs of the body which Is singu-
larry susceptible to alcoholic degen-
eracy, and this is the reason why"

commanders and must guarantee the
continued supremacy of the allied
arms.
The answer Of ehe allied armies to
the German peace proposals was to
deliver still harder blows at the retir-
ing enemy. In the north the Belgian
army. led by King Albert, co-operat-
| ing with the British, began to sweep
! the Germans from the Belgian coast.
ON October II the Germans were driv-

British occupied Lille. The whole

swept eastward through Belgium and

Meats in Storage"

SAy W1hHiS Gay Oh tne year
$4,000 900 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts mist be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June l, 1919,
there were l,348,OOO. OC0 pounds of
meats In cold storage. If the meat m
storage was placed on the market It
would only be 20 days. supply.
This meat is not artifcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
~os per cent (approximate) hams, bacon ETC..
IN process OF curing. 1t takes 80 to 90
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process
10 per cent Is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
per cent Is lard. This Is only four-ffhs
OF pound per capita, and much of it will
have to 60 to supply European needs
10 per cent Is frozen beef and lamb, part Of
which is owned by the Government and

tic trade channels, Il would be only

From this il will be seen that meats

finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
