.Food, More Food, Still More
Food" is Canada's after-war slogan.
Public and private corporations have
worked out and set in motion great
programs for increased yields Of
farr products.
Canadian farmers are increasing

iasner holdings or by more intensive
cultivation Of their present arreag<s.

agent to that end. For scme tisae

Every well-ordered home should be
operated on the budget plan. There
should be definite apportionment
arranged for the various items Of
household expense with provision for
systematic savings
The question often is asked: "How
much money should / saver" This
is a problem that can be solved only
by the individual. Experience has
shown that those who earn large in
comes are no more inclined to save
money than the earners of smaller
>am0unts.
Saving money is more a matter of
,wll power than of income.
1t has been my observation that
those who do not save while earn
ing small salaries do not improve
in this regard with increased incomes.
So the amount to be apportioned
in your household budget for savings
is question that you must determine
for yourself upon honest and sincere
Thought.

In statement in the morning paper few days ago
Mayor Keyes made the amazing confession that the town
closed up in order to prepare for effective quaran
time measures. This means that after three four
months of epidemic which had cost many lives the city
officals had taken effective steps to combat tand
the results Of such neglect of duty apparent in Salem
today 1t illustrates the evils which may follow the pac
ing of weak incompetent men in public places should
emergency arise during their term Of office 1t is no
time however, to indulge in recrminatons such as the
ex-mayor ndulged n and we are not inclined to retor
in kind The epidemic must be checked that is all there
is to it. Salem escaped lightly the initial epidemic and
the health authorities no doubt underesmated the dam
ger because of this fact What the people of Salem, or
any other community should do in like this is to
refuse to become panicsricken square their shoulders
and face the situation like and women profitng by
the experience of other communities. Strict quarantine
isolation of every is regarded practically the
only effective weapon against this epidemic 1t has been
found impossible to prevent people from congregatng
though all probable places closed and business
houses shut up Communities which have gone the limit
in this direction have good results follow Many
eminent health authorities and the health officials of
many large cities have srenuousy opposed the closing OIL
public places Of recreation the theory that peopel

the proper frame of mine to combat disease Strict iso
laton of patients and mpressng upon the individual to
take care of his health by keeping his system in order
and taking prompt against nSplent colds are
methods universally agreed upon. In Oregon and some
other sections of the country is admitted that unna

IRISH INDEPENDENCE.

The flambryant announcement of an 1Irish Repub-
lie" in various parishes throughout Ireland does not
greatly impress the United States This country former
y warmly in sympathy with Irish political ambitions,
has not ndorsed the course of the Irish people in general
toward the war; Had they thrown themselves whole
heartedy into the fray in behalf of the Allied cause in
stead of seeking to take advantage of Great Brtans
plight and giving open aid and sympathy to Germany they
might have had anything within reason they asked for
now In large this country has lost patience
with them.
The American people favor the principle of "home
rule as much as ever but it begins doubt the capacity
of the Irish people for any such degree Of autonomy as
they have come to demand
If Ireland had republic what would she do with it :?
republic is based on selfcontrol. It implies mutual
of sections and parties for the sake of work
ing agreement in public affairs 1t requires willingness
of mnorities to acquesce in the decision of maortes
and willingness of majorities to deal justly with minor
tes First of all it calls for agreement, for compromise
Early last summer a convention met in Dublin to
frame government for the island 1t had virtual
charter from the British government to establish any
workable system Of home rule that the Irish factions
could agree on short of absolute independence SEEM
ed the most promising outlook that Ireland had in
centuries That convention labored and argued for
months---and accomplished nothing Ireland could not
agree with herself about her own government.
In the present situation there is good reason to fear
that Independent Irish republic would straghtway end
in confusion, and even in civil war.

have. High priced commissions now in

state house radiators vying with one
another over the easy and luxurious po-

The announcement that Pershing is to be proposed
for promotion to the rank of full general Of the Unit

The civilian public has taken for granted that the head
Of the American expeditionary force general all

ohgher rank than Generals Bliss, Wood and several
Others Most of the officers loosely designated
ais are merely brigadier generals.
The United States government is notorously stingy
in the matter Of comforting titles fact which is shown
in the navy no less than in the army It is still well
membered what struggle it required to have Dewey

Since his death we have had no admiral. Even SIMS who
has much distinction in this war; bears the mod

Theodore Roosevelt died today and in his passing a
great American character removed from the stage OF
action Like all strong characters he had host OF loyal
followers and many bitter enemies BY some he was re-
garded the greatest statesman of the age while others
branded him spectacular demagogue. These differ

since death has intervened Roosevelt was admittedly al
loyal American and whatever faults of character or dis
position he may have had will be forgotten by all The
nation will mourn sincerely the death of one of its strong
historic characters.
