WAR ON FAMINE
JUST BEGINNING
Hoover Says America Must Pro
; vide Supplies.
NOW AT THE WORST PHASE
Shipping Conditions Are Not Satisfac
tory on Account of Strikes In Many
Countries, and, as Result, There Is
' No Question That the Entire Amerl.
can Surplus Will Be Absorbed En
emy Countries and Neutrals Must
Pay Cash.
In the harvest year from August,
1018, to August, 1910, Europe must im
port 20,000,000 tons of food muffs from
overseas, and to meet this there Is
available a total of about 35,000,000
tons, Herbert O. Hoover, chairman of
the food section of the supreme eco
nomic council sold In Paris.
Shipping conditions are not satisfac
tory on account of strikes In many
countries and, as a result, there Is no
question that the entire American sur
plus will be absorbed.
"We ore at the worst phase of the
European famine that was Inevitable
after this world war," Mr. Hoover said.
The economic food council Is on top
In the light against famlno und food
distribution is organized to supply the
affected nrcns In Europe outside of
Russia, Mr. Hoover said. The Ameri
can relief administration has organ
ized the systematic feeding of the un
dernourished children, numbering be
tween 600,000 and 1,000,000.
The United States will supply to Eu
rope foodstuffs valued roughly at
12,500,000,000. Enemy countries and
neutrals will pay cash for what they
receive.
Will Not Raise Wheat Price,
The relief authorities are doing their
best to control the effect of the largo
demands on the American market Mr. '
Hoover said that a statement by him
on the possible price of wheat had
been misinterpreted. He had said that
In view of tho demands of the
world for food, the removal of price
control with regard to wheut, sugar,
pork products and cotton seed prod
ucts would be dangerous to the Ameri
can consumer. The control of tho pork
was removed, nnd, Mr. Hoover said,
had proved to be a disadvantage to the
consumer,
Mr. Hoover said he wished to empha
sise that the control of the price of
wheat would be maintained to the full
extent of existing authority and mat
the American consumer need not be
alarmed that there will be a material
rise In the price of that food essential.
America will soil more wheat thnn
she has, but the exports are being reg
ulated to reserve a sufficiency for do
mestic needs.
Purchases Army Supplies.
The American army stocks of pork
products In France, moro than 00,000,
000 pounds, had been purchased by the
relief council and should furnish a suf
ficient supply of fats until harvest for
liberated countries.
Oermnny Is being supplied with fats
without competing In tho American
market for pork, and tho European
draft on tho American pork Is limited
to the neutral and allied countries.
The administration Is purchasing In
the United States only wheat, rye, flour,
beans, somo rice, nnd vegetable oil
products, and In addition, condensed
milk and some other special foods for
children.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Both the Man and Woman Were Well
Advanced in Years.
Vlrglnlus O. Sounders, seventy-one
years of age, eloped with Mrs. N. B.
Bean, a widow, thlrty-nlno years old,
to Clayton, Mo., whero they were mar
ried. Saunders was formerly mayor
of Webster Groves, and is a retired dry
goods merchant.
Saunders met Mrs. Bean about a
year ugo when sho was visiting In St.
Louis, and after sho left they corre
sponded. Several months ago, Saun
ders suys, Mrs. Bean returned to St.
Louis and he proposed marriage. She
accepted, but no wedding dutu was de
cided upon.
"It was a lovo match from tho
start," Saunders told a reporter, "and
wo were only undecided about the
date. I met her at the stntlon, and
feeling romantic, we decided to elopo
to Clayton. Our friends will bo consid
erably surprised to hear what wo have
done."
GETS HIS FATHER OUT
Boy Shows Hla Savings Bank to the
Judge.
When Uurold Qorskl, twclvo years
of age, entered Judge Boyer's court at
Rvanston, 111., recently ho sounded llko
a walking savings bank. Pennies,
nickels and dimes Jingled merrily In
his pocket. Harold sidled up to Judge
Boyer:
, "My daddy hns been arrested," he
sobbed, "I don't want yon to do any
thing to him. Here aro my savings.
Please let htm go."
Harold then dumped the contents of
his pockets on Judge Buyer's desk. It
totaled $8.87.
"I won't tell on you," Harold whis
pered as Judgo Boyer seriously re
minded htm of the graveness of at
tempting to bribe the court.
Joseph Gorskt, Harold's father, was
charged with violating a health ordi
nance. He was released on probation.
POISONS IN COMMON SALT
Deadly Chemical Elements, When
United, Form 8ubstance Beneficial
to All Animal Life.
When a native of the suvage tribes
of Africa happens to find a piece of
rock salt he considers himself most
fortunate. Often he will Invite his
friends to a party and serve this piece
of salt as the refreshments. The
guests seut themselves In a circle and
take their turns at licking the choice
bit, passing It around In much the
same manuer as the Indians pas
around their pipe of peace. Salt
seems to be necessary for most forms
of animal life. Cattle will travel for
miles just to get a taste of It.
Few persons realize when eating
tills substance that It is composed of
two deadly poisons, the metal sodium
and the gas chlorine. Sodium Is one
of the most active metals, while chlor
ine Is a gas dangerous to breuthe even
In small quantities. If a piece of so
dium Is placed on water It will react
violently. For this reasos It Is al
ways kept under kerosene to keep It
from reacting with the moisture In the
air, and it Is always handled with
tweezers, as It will cause a severe burn
If allowed to touch the skin, espe
cially If the hands are damp. The poi
sonous nature of chlorine is generally
known, as it was one of the first dead
ly gases used by the Germans during
the world war.
When these two chemical elements
unite each loses Its poisonous nature
sod the salt which Is formed Is an
entirely new substance, having none
of the properties of either sodium or
chlorine. Nevertheless salt is com
posed of two desdly poisons, but chem
ically combined we eat It every day,
as It Is both harmless and necessary.
MARK TWAIN "TURNED DOWN"
Popular Writer's Report on City's
Religious Condition Failed to
Appear In Print.
When Mark Twain was a reporter
on the Virginia City Enterprise he was
given an assignment to report the con
dition of the churches in Gold Hill.
The next day he turned in .the follow
ing, which the managing editor de
clined to print:
"Your reporter had some difficulty
In securing an Interview with the pas
tor of the Baptist church. He found
him pushing an ox cart on the dump
pile of the Overman mine. He snld
Ihut he was doing this not merely for
exercise but for $3.50 a day. He snld
that his clerical salary was nominally
60 per month, but the Irregularity
with which it was not paid was very
distressing. The butcher, he said,
had been very kind to him, but his
patience hnd limits, and lately when
called upon for a beefsteak he had,
In an ahseut-mlnded way, cut off a
piece of liver. Ills congregation had
dwindled to 14 hearers, and the col
lection for the previous Sabbath
amounted to but 40 cents. He had
made one convert, but had been un
oblo to baptize him, for the water
company had refused to supply the
wator except for cash In advance.
"On the whole," reported Mark
Twain, "the condition of the cause of
religion In Gold Hill seems to leave
vory much to be desired."
The Man Who Overcame.
Men with weak eyes will remember
that Theodore Itoosevelt had weak
eyes all his life and became a success
ful hunter, an omnivorous reader and
a keen naturalist. Men with defec
tive hearing will remember that Thco
dore Itoosevelt lost the use of one of
his ears und could still distin
guish tho calls of birds and lead
a people magnificently. Men strick
en with pain will remember that once
Theodore Roosevelt worked at his
correspondence until he fainted nnd
tho couch on which he lay was
drenched with blood. Cripples will
hear the word that Theodore House-
velt spoke when a physician told hhn
In the last month of his life that he
might be conHned to his chair the
rest of his days, "All right! I run
live that way, tool"
The millions will remember the In
spiring lender; but a few with ter
rors to fuce will ulways cherish most
the man who overcame. Iloruinu

Ended With a Solo.
It was Sunday morning In the choir
of a large church. I was slllglug so
prano In a quurtet. At the end of the
selection I was under the impression
that we were to sing "Amen," but, not
noticing closely thut the other mem
bers lu tli quurtet had seated them
selves, I remained standing nnd started
with the "Ahnien" ringing out in the
silence of the church, without eveu
the support of the organ. With the
eyes of tho congregation all turned on
me, I Bat down, amid the smiles of my
fellow singers, wishing the floor might
open up and swallow me. Chicago
