FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANADA GIVES WARNING
bVo'od Production Should Be In
. creased at All Cost.
’ '--to bis letter to the public on the
» 1st of January, Hon. W. J. Hanna, Can
ada’s Food Controller, says:— -
"Authoritative Information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu-
I rope Is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve on the part of the pro
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part of all as consumers, can pos
sibly save the situation.
“France last year had a crop be
tween one-third and one-half that .of
a normal year. Women did the work
of draught animals In a determined
effort to make the Impoverished soli
of , France produce every possible ounce
of food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency of essential sup
plies.
"The harvest In Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
"It Is Impossible for the allies to
spore many cargo carriers to transport
foodstuff from India, Australia, New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub
lic. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering Is to be avoided and the fight
ing efficiency of the armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United States
hgd not a single bushel of wheat for
agport, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration Is endeav
oring to bring about a reduction of 20
per cent In home consumption of wheat
and flour. This would release 100,000,-
000 bushels for export, but the Allies
wUl require nearly five times that
■mount before the 1918 harvest.
Canada Is the only country In the
world, practically accessible to the Al
lies under present conditions of ship
ping shortage, which has an actual ex
portable surplus of wheat after allow
ance for normal home requirements.
m>e surplus today Is not more than
110,000,000 bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent In our normal consumption
would save an additional 10,000,000
bushels for export The outlook for
production of food stuffs In Europe
next year Is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such Is the situation —grave beyond
anything that we thought possible a
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means to us, to our
soldiers and to our Allies, and of the
terrible possibilities which It entails,
disaster Is Inevitable.
"Production, too, must be Increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres
ent war conditions demand extraordi
' nary efforts, and every man, woman,
boy or girl who can produce food has
a national duty to do so.
"I am confident that when the people

of this country realize that the food
situation Is of utmost gravity they will
willingly adjust themselves to the ne
cessities of the case and make what
ever sacrifices may be required. The
call which Is made upon them Is In
the name of the Canadian soldiers at
the front, the allied armies, and the
civilian populations of the allied na
tions who have already made food sac
rifices to an extent little realized by
the people of this country.”
Here Is an appeal made by a man,
upon whom rests the great responsibil
ity of assisting In providing food foi
the allies and 9ia soldiers at the front,
who are fighting the battles in mud
and blood. It cannot be Ignored. At
home we are living In luxury and ex
travagance Inclined to Idleness and for
getfulness . This must cease. We must
save and produce. Our lands must be
tilled no matter where It may be, In
Canada or the United States. It Is
our duty to cultivate. Splendid oppor
tunities In the United States are open
for further cultivation of lands. West
ern Canada also offers opportunities In
high producing lands at low prices.
Decide for yourself where you can do
the most good, on land In the United
States or In Canada, and get to work
quickly.—Advertisement.
Oyster Fishing by Submarine.
Mr. Simon Lake, the father of the
modern submarine, has suggested the
use of the submarine for polar explora
tion, for ferrying supplies across Ice
bound rivers, for seeking sunken treas
ure, and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated to
Mr. Lake’s satisfaction that when the
submarine Is at the bottom of the
ocean, the oysters can be sucked up
Into It on the vacuum cleaner prin
ciple. When traversing good ground,
the submarine will suck up 6,000 bush
els of oysters In an hour. This means
that In one hour a mass of oysters
will be collected which, If compactly
piled, would require a cylinder one and
three-quarters mile long to hold It
The Idea should be particularly useful
to the pearl-oyster fishers, as of Cey
lon, for Instance.

Washington, Feb. 5. —Provost Mar
shal General Crowder announced that
the movements of the men selected in
the first draft will begin on Feb. 23,
and continue for a period of five days.
This will complete the operation of
the first draft, as all states will have
furnished their full quotas.
The movement will bring the
strength of the National Army up to
the 686,000 men contemplated in the
first draft.
The number of men which will be
started to the cantonments on Feb. 23
are: Camp Devins, Mass., 6.575; Up
ton, N. Y., 7,500; Dix, N. J., 7,000;
Meade, Md., 6,090; Lee, Va., 3,000;
Jackson, S. C., 3,363 (negroes); Gor
don, Ga., 2,000 (negroes); Grant, 111.,
5,000; Taylor, Ky., 6.284; Dodge, lowa.
14,984; Funston, Kan., 2,332; Travis,
Texas, 7,558; Pike, Ark., 2,000 (ne
groes).
Besides the regular portion contrib
utory to Camps Devins and Upton,
New York will send to the former 2,521
men and to the latter 4,287 men which
were to have gone to Camp Dix. The
reason given for the change Is that
there is more rooip for them at Camps
Devins and Upton.
West Virginia will send 1,520 men
to Camp Meade instead of Camp Lee.

HASTE IN WAR WORK NEEDED.
Washington.—America must quick*
en its army preparations —not slacken
them—in the face of the reported la
bor disturbances in the Central pow
ers, Secretary Bakor declared.
In his weekly war review he said:
“While dissatisfaction is no doubt
rife in Germany and strikes of In
creasing seriousness have occurred,
we must not allow any reported dis
turbance to affect the effectiveness or
speed of our armed preparations.”
Baker warned that despite her
troubles “Germany is stripping all
other fronts for the coming struggle
in the west”
In the face of this crisis the allies
are preparing, he said, “having numer
ical superiority both in men and
guns.”
Reviewing operations for the week
ending Feb. 2, Secretary Baker said
that American troops which have now
oompleted their training are occupy
ing a portion of the actual battle
front. The operations in which our
troops have so far been engaged were
of a minor character.

JUST WHY IS A GUINEA HEN?
Question Is Asked by Writer Who Evi
dently Has No Orest Liking for
the Breed.
Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vocal
organs must have used a rasp for a
tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike ;in appearance;
when you've seen one you’ve seen the
other. Their plumfige is of one and
the same piece of goods, like the Quak
ers’. If ever you have indulged in fil
ing the teeth of a cross-cut saw, you’ve
heard the synonym of her melody.
Nature did herself a dreadful injus
tice when she produced this variety of
fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging Is no good Chris
tian. I say this because any man who
sells you a guinea hen as youthful and
tender has designed to skin you. I
have a dim recollection of tasting one
many years ago, and I will say this —
the gravy was quite tender.
A group of guineas running to keep
out of harm's way resembles a streak
of 10-cent calico of somber hue with
polka-dots. The guinea hen lays a
very small egg with spots on it simi
lar to those we see in cheap grocery
stores In fly time. The eggs have no
rating In the commercial world. They
are used exclusively for hatching more
trouble. —Cartoons Magazine.
RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.
To half pint of water add 1 or. Bar
Rum, a small box of Barbo Compound,
and 34 os. of glycerine. Any druggist can
put this up or you can mix it at home at
very little cost. Full directions for mak
ing and use come in each box of Barbo
Compound. It will gradually darken
streaked, faded gray hair, and make it soft

sticky or greasy, sad does not rub on. Adv.
