Editorial

The Ladies' Aid of
CART Id Memorial
Hospital is going to .
sell tags tomorrow,
and the proceeds are
to be used in refur-
nishing and making
comfortable the home
of nurses at the above
institution.
These women say
that the more happy
a nurse is the better
she is able to serve the
sick. 1t is true in
business, and there is
no reason why it
shouldn't hold true in
nursing.
So, tomorrow when
you're asked to buy a
tag, pay all your coin
for it, and if you want
to have a good time
dig up a dollar and at
tend the dansant from
fout to seven in the
ballroom of the New
Willard Hotel.
We hope enough
money will be raised
to buy everything the
nurses need for their
home.

Then. Over 800 Were Examined in
One day-AIl Babies Present

The number of babies examined

only 50 babies coming before the
physicians who were on hand for
the work.
The examinations started at l
o'clock and continued throughout
the afternoon. The number turn
ing out yesterday was only a sixth
OF the number last year when over
300 were examined. Just what
caused this falling off in the num-
Der of entries is not known. but
one reason given by the physicians
is that the war is over and there
is more or less of a reaction shown
in all movements OF the sort at the
present time.
Practically all of the babies ex-
amined yesterday were in splendid
condition and a remarkable fea-
tCre was the fact that all of the
babies will reach. high mark

supposed to tell the man at the
check counter just what they want,
because there is a tax on some
drinks and none on others.
For example. according to the
law as interpreted by the internal
revenue bureau. there is no tax on
milk, buttermilk, coffee, broths and
tea.
And the soda fountain people are
undecided as to. whether a con-
glomeration of matted milk, not
taxed, and ice cream. which is
taxed, is taxable. And there are
other worries which promise to
bring confusion to the customer
and gray hairs to the clerks.
Many solutions for the whole
problem were offered by folks who
have run up against the new tax
laws.
why not raise an extra billion
or two in the Victory loan drive,
and make away with this tax" sug-
gested one customer.

WHAT Is "BREADY-

Before the war the term bread"
was understood to mean bread
made from ordinary -four During
the war it might have meant al
most anything on which to spread
butter or its substitutes. But what
does it mean now?
At the time the food administra-
ton called for the use CT substi-
tutes n the manufacture of bread
SO much publicity was given the
ruling that the chances of a pur-
chaser being deceived into believ-
ing that the article he CARED home
from the bakery as bread was made
wholly from wheat -four were
slim; and no objection was made
under the food and drug act to la
beling and sale of the product, con-
forming to the food administra-
tons rulings as bread.
The restrictions on the use of
wheat -four in bread have recently
been removed, and any product
now sold under or labeled with the
unmodified term bread" should. if
brought within the jurisdiction of
the act. be prepared from wheat
-four only. says the United States
department of agriculture. which
enforces the food and drugs act
If wheat -four substitutes are used
their presence should be clearly
stated on the label The same
principle applies in the case of
crackers.
