LIVING ON ELEVEN CENTS A DAY
Fbrget it. The IL C. L. is a thing of the past, j
It is classed with the fall of Babylon or any other ancient news.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley says that eleven cents a day is enough to
live op. A short time ago he stated that thirteen cents was ample
to provide all the comforts of a full stomach ; but on closer investiga
tion he finds that he was grossly mistaken.
Eleven! cents is enough and don't let 'eni advise you differently.
Dr. Wiley doesn't say that he lives on eleven cents' a day, nor
does he say that he wants to.
But he says it can be done.
'. It's like this. Get a bushel of cornmeaL If you pay the current
price of $1.50 a bushel all you need is a pound a day. Then purchase
eight cents worth of milk each morning.
Your cornmeal costs you three cents for the pound and with the
milk the total is eleven cents. ' -

have your cornmeal and milk. Tomorrow you can put the milk on the
meal nd the next' day ,the meal on the milk. And for Sunday you
might 'mix the two. Should you become tired of this diet you might,
jusut for variety's sake, have milk and cornmeal. The possibilities
are really unlimited. ; .. " : .
The Oregon Legislature is to .be called in extra session. It may

CONGRESS CAXT EXD WAR.
Abrogation of war legislation and
the exercise of war powers, together
with resumption of international re
lations, are urgently required for the
country's good. The 1 proposal to
bring the war to a legal end by a
congressional resolution is open to
grave objections. Such a method
of doubtful legality and would result
in the delay incident to an appeal to
the supreme court for final decision.
Article I of the constitution gives
congress the power to declare war,
but nowhere does it say anything
about ending it. Oppenhelm on In
ternational Law lays' down the prin
ciple that "It is not at all necessary
that the power of declaring war and
making peace should be vested in the
same hands." Congress has only
such powers as are vested in it by
the constitution, ' and the power of
making peace is not among those that
are enumerated.
If bur. constitution specifically gave
any person or body the power to end
war that person or body would be
the one to do It. As it does not,
then naturally peace should be de
clared by the one recognized by in
ternational UBage and law as the
proper authority. This is the treaty
making power.
