HELENS A HEAL HIIOE KIIIN8 CHILDREN'S HAIR CUTTING A HMVinlljr striking explanation of the part that food control plays in war. Ho said that European nations went into the war giving little thought to the subject of food. Even Germany with all its preparations had not foreseen the significance of this factor. With millions of men taken from production, and thousands of square miles of fertile fields laid waste by armies, the world's cup board quickly began developing a barenness like that of Mother Hub bard. Country after country went to tho cupboard to get a bone, and found a diminished supply. This made it necessary to organize food supply and dlsti ibutlon, and the various countries tried various meth ods. They fixed maximum prices and minimum prices, regulated the pro duction and distributing trades, and put their people on rations. Those countries which established tho earli est and best methods of food control necured the greatest efficiency in war. The best system, on the whole, is still that of Germany, and she has been able to maintain efficiency with a food supply which in some of her enemy countries might be most em barrassing.

And by these same safe guards, thrown round the food sup ply, the consumer is mr.de willing to economize in food, and is al",o able to purchase the necessities of life at prices which are at least reasonable, and what is more important, do not suffer wild fluctuations. This is food control in a nutshell. Whatever fear or hostility there may be in the country over food control arises entirely from misunderstand ing of what food control really means, why it is necessary and how it is being carried out. In no cuxe does this feeling persist after real food control has been explained. ty Abstract Company, Oregon. St. Helens, 4 5-tf For Sale Milk cows and O. I. C. pigs. C. J.
