AS TO BAKERY INSPECTION.
ICedar Rapids Republican,

One man whispered to US the other
day that Cedar Rapids Il moro In need
OF a bakery inspection than It is Of q
moral inspection. He intimated broad
ly that he had seen some bake shops
from which he would hate to eat
either pies or cakes or bread. Think
OF pies being made In surroundings
that are somewhat less than spotless
But he described one place that made
US shudder And pies from that place
are said to be served in the best places
in town because their pies are cheaper
than other pies more properly made.
This question is somewhat import
ant nowadays for due to the shortage
of domestic help most Of the people
are compelled to rely upon the COM
mercial pie and bread makers. The
making Of such food stuffs has every
where become a matter of the strict
est regulation and Iowa is no excep-
ton and since we have very alert
food commissioner in this city We can
hardly believe what We have heard
and yet we can not refuse to believe It.
for the reports are very direct and
from reliable sources.
How would IL do for COMMITTEES
Of the woman's club to go Summing
thru the bakeshops? That might be
doing something sensible and prac;
tical and they will be welcomed. we
are sure, by every baker who has his
premises in proper condition and
those who are not in such condition
are not entitled to any consideration.
Mr.. B,ttner might act as An escort
%or s,ch q oonpntffoa n IN pnaSible
that by taking such measures the
bakers win all wake up and at least
the women will find out from which
places they want to buy their baked

is best or what u even sanitarily

REMEMBERING WAR slAcEEss.

Individual war slackers may note
with peculiar interest 10 themselves
an incident which suggests that the
memory OF the Stacker and the war
opposer will not fade early. When the
itinerary Of the Belgian ruling family
was made out Chicago and Milwaukee
were deliberately and with intention
dismissed from consideration.
Chicago reelected Thompson In the
face OF conditions as they were. Not
that Chicago was not in the war with
regiment upon regiment Of brave SOL
diers: Chicago bought her bonds and
paid her way. Her group of slackers
and her various affiliated interests.
unpatriotie and sordid and criminal
joined hands to elect q mayor who
would have been showed under had
the fghtIng men been In Chicago in
stead OF on the Aring line. Milwaukee
had its Berger and its pro-German
sympathy and its socialist groups.
Both cities were full Of loyal Ameri-
cans. But Thompson was elected
mayor and Berger elected to congress
by the voters Of those communities.
And the fighting Belgian would be out
Of place n either town.
1t IS just a straw showing the way
the wind blows but the wind will blow
from that quarter while those who
suffered and sacrificed in the war live
and have influence. A city may live
down its slackerism by repudiating its
slackers. The individual Stacker must
carry his burden thru life. He earned
the contempt OF Aght!nS men anG
patriots. It will follow him to his
grave.
1t is hurlil:ating TO a great city to
be branded with a marx upon it's fore
head. AS a whole Chicago does not
deserve It in a strict manner OF speak
ing for the mass in that city was loyal
The shame that came to tina, city came
because Americans failed to vote as
they shoot There were not enough
disloyalists and slaekers to elect q
mayor except as loyal voters failed to
poll their protest or suffered them
selves to be led against their Ameri-
canism by the nose Of selfish interest.
And that fact stands out in every
town at almost every election where
the issue stands between the higher
and lower citizenship. II the majority
votes. usually the right prevails. It is
not the lower citizenship that wins on
bad issues. II Is the eo-cailed higher
citizenship that stays at home or lies
down which swings the balance.
We may strive to forget the war.
We may neglect the men who fought
it and who held sacrifice az an oppor-
tunity: but the mass will never en-
tirely forget the Stacker Individual or
community. In times OF stress memory
will stand like . lighted torch to sx-
pose a shameful record written i'm
perishably for the eyes OF men to see.

or to survey the situation and decide
upon the desirability Of entering the

During the last few months an un-

been authorized to do business here.
These include not only companies or
Sanized In Brazil with both local and
foreign capital, but also many organ
lied and financed in the United States
and Europe.
The new enterprises will cover wide
fields Of activities. ranging from bank
ing. insurance and shipbuilding to the
establishment OF seaside resorts. The
greater number Of them, however. will
engage N tho business Of importing
and exporting. One Of the new COM
panies is organised with Lisbon ana
