Plea of EUening World That Won
Cheaper Army Food for NeU York
new YORK Can GET Benefit
Of BIG army FOOD SURPLUS
BY EVENING WORLD PLAN

IT. HE successful night which
The Evening World has
waged 10 gain for the peo-S
pie OF New York n part OF the
huge surplus OF amy food to be
distributed to consumers at cost
was begun three weeks ago. II
was waged and won In the face
Of many obstacles, chief among
which was the fact that the city
was without available funds TO
purchase the food.
AS n direct result OF The Even
ing Worlds campaign. the sue
cess OF which was announced to-
day IN dispatches from Washing
ton, a severe blow has been dealt
70 the food profteers. The release
OF millions OF pounds Of army
bacon. canned meats. cereals and
other products u expected not
only to bring Immediate relief to
the poor. but also to cause de-
cided drop in retail prices
throughout the city.
When The Evening World first
called the attention OF the public
TO the great surplus stores Of army
food in warehouses in this vicin-
lty It's market expert, p. q. Fay
undertook to interest city oficials
in the plan TO purchase this food
from the Government and have II
distributed TO the people at cost.
DIR. Jonathan Day, Commls-
sioner OF Markets. was tho first TO
whom the plan was outlined. The
Commissioner gave the plan his
approval but said the city was
powerless 10 act, having no funds
available 10 purchase the food.
He said, however. that the city
might be able 70 help In distrib-
uting II.
The plan was next presented by
The Evening World representative
TO Edwin O'Malley and Miss
Cauble, Deputy Market CommIs-
sloners. Both were enthusiastic,
but again the lack OF funds was
emphasized. Mr.. O'Malley held
out the first encouragement when
he said he thought 1t might DO
possible to get the Government to
consign the food 70 the city as its
agent.
Next the Interest OF Capt. A. A.
Stewart was enlisted In the plan,
togethers with that OF Lieut.
Frank A. Dee. These officers be-
long 10 the Quartermasters De-
partment and have charge Of the
warehouse at No. 46i Eighth Avo-
nue., where samples OF the Gov
ernment's surplus food supplies
are stored, Both Capt. Stewart
and Lieut.. Dee fell In with the
plan. but they presented another
obstacle. They said they bad
orders from the War Department
10 receive bids for the food, but 70
make no sales. They didn't see
how the food could be consigned
70 the city as agent.
In the meantime The Evening
World continued It's fight, and
other cities became interested.
These included Newark. Hoboken,
Paterson. Nutley, Mount Vernon
and New Brunswick, N. ]. Re
ports were received that these
cities were to participate In the
distribu tion.
Why can't New York also reap
the benefit OF cost prices7 was the
question put direct to Mayor Hy-
Ian last Friday. The Mayor re-
peated that the city was without
funds or power to make the pur-
chaSes. But The Evening World
kept on lighting. So, too, did

WASTED HOT WATER
is so MUCH COAL
THROWN OUTDOORS

Almost without exception domestic
water is provided in the cities Of the
east by pumping plants which burn
coal.
Therefore, any Of the hundred ways
in which we habitually and commonly
waste. water is a direct waste of coal
So far as cold water is concerned,
this is very small waste indeed, but
it is much more serious matter where
hot water is concerned, the United
States Fuel Administration points out
A leaky tap on hot water pipe will
waste several gallons Of water-and
several pounds of coal-in an hour.
SEE THAT ALL YOUR WATER
PIPES AND FAUCETS ARE WITH
OUT LEAKS.
A little careful supervision in the
kitchen will often cut in half the
quantity of hot water used, with an
obvious saving n~coal.
Likewise, many of us are spend.
thrifts when we get into bathtub
and use two or three times as much
water as necessary for perfectly
good bath.
Don't let the water run after you
have enough in the tub for bath.

MEADOWS AND
PASTURES
The Healthy Growth Of a Variety
of Plants Furnishes a Better
Forage for Animals and More
Lime for Bone Building.
The Growing Herd Requires .
Nutrient Quality of Grass.

Lime is essential to the growth of
luxuriant pasture. 1t does much to
improve the stand and increase the
variety of grasses and clovers. The
effect of lime on pasture soils is to
sweeten it and encourage the growth
Of grasses and clovers not only more
abundantly, but in greater profusion,
and 1t SO happens that the plants
which are encouraged to grew in sweet
soils are-the ones which naturally con-
, tain more lime In their composition.
Lime is needed by animals quite as
much as it is needed by plants, espe.
cially by young animals which are
growing and need it in the formation
Of their bones and somewhat in the
formation of body tissue. The Food
Administration calls attention in one
Of its circulars regarding the use Of
milk, which contains more lime than
any other food in children's diet. It
says: 'There must be plenty of lime
in children's food, for a great deal Of
it is needed for their bones and teeth,
and little for their blood and all
other parts Of their bodies. Big boys
and girls and grown people, as well
as children, need lime, because the
bones are constantly wearing away
little by little and must be replaced"
1t is therefore very important that
pastures used for grazing should be
well lined to furnish variety OF
plants, so that animals may be well
noyfished with luxuriant growth Of
plants, thus supplying an abundance OF
forage containing lime for building
bone and tissue. Lime may be applied
to pastures any time during the year,
but it is best to prepare now to make
fall or winter application.

PRICES AND PRoFlrEERs.

Not all high prices are evidence OF
profiteering. Says Herbert Hoover,
eve cannot raise wages, railway
rates, expand our credits and currency
and hope to mainsain the same level Of
prices Of foods. All that the food adj
mnistration can do is to see as far as
humanely possible that these altera-
tions take place, without speculation
or profteering and that such readjust-
ments are conducted In an orderly
manner. We are In a period of in
dation, and cannot avoid the results !"
There are, however, cases that have
required stern measures and millions OF
dollars have been refunded in one way
or another to the public. The number
of firms penaNzed is proportionately
not large to the total firms engaged.

PURCHASING LIME
FOR FARM Use
The Form, Concentration, Fine
ness Of Division, and the Con-
dition of the Soil Are Factors
Requiring Consideration.
Study Of the Soil Neutralizing
Power of Lime.

The chief point to be observed by
the farmer in the purchase of lime is
the form. The action Of each form
must be known under each Of the
many. varying conditions. Lime and
limestone are 10th mineral products,
but the former is product of manu-
facture treated in manner to make
it concentrated, which means that it
contains only the elements active in
correcting soil acidity, whereas the
latter contains carbon dioxide amount
ing to approximately one-half its
weight, besides any impurities Of the
original rock from which it is ground.
While there is no organic fermentation
in the case of mineral materials, yet
the concentrated forms are acted upon
more readily by the natural soil SOL
vents, air and water, and other solvent
substances of soils, and, furthermore,
they are more, readily and evenly dis
tributed throughout the soil by the soil
moisture.
Regardless of the form, fineness of
division has an important bearing upon
ffle greater will be the surface area
exposed to the natural agencies which
cause disintegration. The particles of
slaked or hydrated lime are infinitely
small and there is no question of their,
soluhility on this score. With lime
stone it Is a question of grinding pure
~ mechanical in nature. The applica-
ton of coarsely ground limestone,
coarser than 100 per cent. through a
10-mesh sieve, may not show any re-
suits the first or second season, while
the same substance pulyerized to an
extremely fine powder, 100 per cent.
through a 60 or so mesh sieve, will
show results during the first season
THAT is, its fineness permits of the
;solubility of considerable portion of
Jits lime.
4 The kind of soil to which the lime or
Limestone is applied influences the rate
Ut. which they become active in the
Il. A soil which is open and porous
d thus permits the flee access of air
circulation of water, and one
which contains large portion of or
ganic matter capable of decay, apimal
Tor vegetable, presents more favorable
conditions for the solubility and activ-
lily of lime and limestone titan one
which is close and compact in texture
and purely mineral in it's character,
thus preventing the free access Of air
and water, and In which no organic
changes are taking place. In the one
case the conditions are such as. to fa-
vor the action of natural agencies,
and In the other they are such as to
retard their action, even though the
latter type Of soil may be more In need
Of lime than the former for the indl-
rect advantages which may be Sc
cured.

A Soil Treatment for the Tomato Crop
Lining Not Always Beneficial.

There has been much discussion re-
garding the use of lime on land prior
to planting tomatoes. The best infor-
nation obtainable seems to point to
the fact that there is point close to
the neutral line at which tomatoes
grow best just where this point Is no
one seems to know, but it is clearly
understood by most growers and Elk.
pertinent Station workers that it is so
near the neutral line that lining is al.
most always beneficial except when
the soil is known to be alkaline, in
which case the lime is known to do no
harm.
The use Of lime in growing can-house
tomatoes has other advantages than
the mere increase of crop. 1t creates
soil condition favorable to a healthy
growth, making strong plant far more
capable of resisting the ravages of dis
eases which are so prevalent today.
This will no doubt help to hold down
the cost Of spraying.

SITTING FURNACE,
STOVE, CRATE ASH
SAVES MUCH FUEL
U. S. Fuel administration Urges
Reclamation of All Waste
to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands Of tons of coal can be
reclaimed and proportionate dollars
saved in fuel bills If the house,
holders Of the nation will adopt the
simple, homely method of sitting
their ashes. About FIVE bucket
fuls of coal are thrown away in the
ashes each week by the wasteful
householder. Each bucketful weighs
about nineteen pounds, and fresh nut
coal sold by the bucketful costs about
l6 cents each. If this coal is reclaimed
by sitting the ashes, It would repre-
sent saving of 80 cents week and
conserve just SO much coal for the
dealer to supply other householders.
The United States Fuel Administra-
ton gives the following directions for
retaining coal from ashes:
How to sift Ashes.
Shake the sitter until all the dust.
like particles fall through. You will
then have left in your sitter mix
ture of black and white-covered pieces
of coal and probably few clinkers
and pieces Of stone.
Pick out and throw away all stone.
Do not throw away clinkers unless
they are thoroughly burned. Coal
will often fuse in such manner that
the part in the center is not burned.
Break clinkers apart, and If there is
any black substance in them 1t is
carbon, and they can be burned over
again.
White chunks generally contain a
large amount Of carbon, though their
covering might be soft and have the
appearance Of ashes. Do not throw
them away.
Coal thus recovered should be
spread on the ground and sprinkled
with water. This will open the seams
in the coal, and when 1t is placed in
the heater the fire will reach and Ig-
mite the unused carbon.
1t is better not to mix the coal thus
reclaimed with fresh coal. Keep it in
separate pile.
Reclaimed coal; should generally be
used on a red hot, fire, although it can
also be used in banking fire at night.
