TALK INSTEAD OF DEEDS.
COXOTiEKS is prompt in (ensuring the food specula
tors and decrying their activities, hut slow to provide
a remedy long on talk and weak on action.
Since the first of April, senators and congressmen
have denounced the food gamblers and suggested hanging
to lamp posts as a remedy for the "pirates" and "rob
bers" who have taken advantage of the war to reap un
earned profits at the expense of the people.
But since the i'ii-st of April, congress has been in daily
session and not yet passed any of the great war measures
necessary, if the United States is not Kointf to be the war
joke that Germany regards us. So far it has all been brag
and bluster I rom congress.
We are actually at war with the greatest military pow
er the world lias ever seen, yet congress litis not authorized
the gathering oj an armv delaying it to wrangle over the
petty side issue of whether Teddy should be sent to Francuj
to show Jot I re and Jlaighow to do it.
Meanwhile, as congress talks, the food manipulators
are busy marking up prices and pocketing prohts. The
.iovous iob of fleecing the people goes merrily on. Cost of
living is advancing by leaps and bounds. Speculation has
readied such unreasonable heights that the gamblers in
self protection have had to close the Chicago board of trade
temporarily to prevent bankruptcy of half their number.
Congress is giving a remarkable demonstration of the
weakness of democracies in war or when war is first d(
clared. Democracies do not believe in war, unless forced
upon them, hence do not prepare for war, and i is not until
the danger becomes great, until realization is general that
the existence of the democracy itself is at stake, that gov
ernment wakes up. If the United States had been an au
tocracy, like Germany, till these military measures would
have been enacted over night by executive decree.
The United Slates should profit by the experiences of
the belligerents. All of them have found it necessary to
exercise national control 'of food products and supervision
of prices, and such action should be one of the first supjects
onsidered. .Hut the capitol is invaded by lobbies or rood
gamblers, and every little backwoods congressman feels
called to consider himself most seriously and waste golden
hours in brassy talk. And the nation at war, marks time.
in prevent, iood gambling and insure a good ' victory
crop," authorities and students are agreed that it will be
necessary for the federal government to take full control
of the food situation, close the boards of trade and all ex
changes dealing in food product futures, establish at once
nuiunuim prices guaranteed by the government to the
farmers for 1917 crops of staples and livestock, and also to
establish maximum prices on all foodstuffs as a protec
tion to armv and navy.
Amcreia is at. war and must win the war in the shortest
possible time and the longer congress delays the solution
of war problems, I he longer the war will last and the more
American lives it will sacril ice.
SOCIETY SHOWS THE NEWEST STYLES
Canning and Drying Beans and Rhubarb
Whenever practicable, the house
wife sliold dry lier winter supply of
fruits mid vegetables ami the follow
ing suggestions mny be of nssislance
ill two very valuable articles of food
that are usually canned.
String benns should lie prepared lis
for cooking nnd then dried in the sun
or n warming oven. They will keep
nicely nil winter mid are very deli-
ious, but they must be soaked over
night before using. Ity parboiling the
beans before drying, they require less
choking iifterwaril.
K I in lu lil should be cut into short
lengths and dried in the sun or a
wnrming oven.
For canning Vlinlmrh, cut into
pieces inches long, scald 1 to 2
minutes and cold dip, then pack tight
in sterilized jars. Three pounds will
fill a punrt jar. Make a syrup of
one cup of sugar lo j. enp of water.
This will be sufficient for one iiiart.
Kill crevices with syrup, put on cover,
partially tighten, and sterilize '?) min
utes. When rhubarb, lute in the season,
becomes tough and fibrous, the juice
may be extracted for jelly milking
