WHEN th
the ho
tlie food control bill passed
ouse nnd tteuate and wbh
signed by the president It mark-
the completion by congress of all im
portant war legislation under consid
eration wkh one exception the reve
nue bill. Leaders assert that when the
revenue bill is finally passed there will
be nothing to prevent congress from
adjourning. However, tlie debate on
this measure is expected to require a
long time.
The passnge of the food control bill
was another victory by President Wil
son over his opponents In both the
house and senate. , In its final form the
bill embodies practically everything
that Mr. Wilson asked for and omitted
all features which he objected to.
Provisions of Measure.
Tlie measure carries drastic prohibi
tion features. Summarized, It makes
these provisions:
Forbids government agents from
using their influence In letting con
tracts to concerns In which they are
interested.
Declares it unlawful to destroy,
waste, permit preventable deteriora
tion, hoard, monopolize, discriminate,

spect to necessaries.

der regulations to be made by the pres
ident...'': Provides that hoarded necessaries
may be seized and sold by the gov

tion supplies for the army and navy.

.Authorizes the president to buy nnd

tion nnd operate uny factory, packing

to the president's tlLscret ton the quan
tities to be used in beer and wine.
Authorizes and directs the president

or bond for military needs.

tion of the act, $10,000,000 Is for pur

is for sundry expenses.

hall be exempt from military service
under the draft law.
Requires a detailed report from the

proceedings under the act.
Authorizes the president to assume
control of coal mines, fix the price of
roal nnd coke and take charge of and
sell tho same.
Forbids manipulation or destruction
of necessaries to limit the supply or
affect the market price.
Makes the act cease to bo In effect
upon proclamation by the president at
the end of the war with Germany.
In establishing government control
the bill authorizes the president to en
ter into any voluntary arrangements,
create or use any agency or agencies,
to accept services of any person with
out compensation, to co-operate with
any agency or person, to utilize any de
partment or agency of the government
and to co-ordinate their activities.
To Name Hoover.
In pursuance of such authorization
President Wilson plans to appoint Her
bert C Hoover food administrator.
Control of other necessaries named
may be accomplished through other
agencies. The house provision for an
Individual food administrator was en
acted only after the president had pre-

enue Measure This Is the Last
Important War Legislation Be

Act Occupied 100 days.
railed upon the senate nnd house con
ferees to eliminate a senate amend
ment, Inserted by two overwhelming
votes of 03 to 19 and ISO to 23.
Comprehensive iowers are given in
the bill, passed as a war measure, to
assure adequate supply and equitable
distribution of the named necessaries,
to facilitate their movement, to pre
vent, locally and generally, scarcity,
monopoly, boarding, Injurious specula
tion, manipulation or private control
affecting supply, distribution and move
ment. ,
Smoot Amendment Edited.
Other provisions of the bill fix a
minimum price for wheat beginning
next year at not less than $2 per stand
ard bushel; provide for coal and cok
price fixing, commandeering and gov
ernment operation of factories and
inines producing necessaries; for gov
ernment purchase, sale and requisition
of various necessaries aud for federal
licensing of agencies producing and
handling them.
The prohibition provisions, a compro
mise for "bone dry" prohibition pro
posed by the house, prohibit manufac
ture aud Importation of distilled liquor
for beverages during the war, author
ize the president to suspend manufac
ture of malt, fermented and vinous
liquors or to limit their alcoholic con
tent and "authorizes and directs" the
president, in his discretion, to com
mandeer distilled beverages in bond or
stock when necessary for redistillation
lng and there would be grave food
' riots next winter unless conditions
i were changed.
' Examination of the measure as it
has passed congress leaves no ques
tion that it conveys powers which, If
exercised, will redound to the public
benefit. At the same time It is im
fiortant to remember that the countrj
this year has a tremendous crop of
foodstuffs In the aggregate much more
than it needs and thnt if this is not
wasted nor manipulated and Is wisely
distributed there will bo enough for
home use and enormous quantities for
the allies and American troops abroad.
Need Not Be Disappointed.
If the profits on distribution are
held down to moderate figures there Is
reason to believe that the two desir
able results of large shipments abroad
and reasonable prices at home can be
achieved. '
That Mr. Hoover Is sincere in his
desire to achieve these two great ends
is not doubted by those who know him,
despite all the attacks made and the
current talk that the food control
measure will be a . disappointment to
the people. .
The government, by the strict en
forcement of the anti-loarding pro
visions and by exercising its right giv
en under the bill to buy and sell fuel,
wheat, flour, beans and potatoes, to
regulate simulation and to license
agencies engaged in production, trans
portation anu distribution or necessa
ries, can undoubtedly revolutionize the
cost of living in this country, to say
nothing of other broad powers which
are granted.

tient strength by building up the con
stitution and "assisting nature to do-
defense purposes or to conserve food
stuffs. . .
Congressional lenders understand the
president does not intend to comman
deer distilled spirits or to curtail their
consumption unless military exigencies
require. The so called Smoot amend
ment, directing federal purchase of dis
tilled beverages In bond at cost plus
10 per cent profit, was eliminated.
Will Control Coal. ,
Sweeping powers to control coal
prices also are provided. The bill au
thorizes the president, through the
Federal Trade Commission or other
agency, to fix coal aud coke prices at
the mines nnd among wholesalers and
retailers, to regulate methods of sale,
shipment and distribution among deal
ers and consumers, and to requisition
and operate mines or other coaling fa
cilities. A system of federal licensing of all
agencies related to the production,
transportation and distribution of the
designated necessaries also Is provid
ed, nnd rigid provisions against board
ing, speculation and monopolization es
tablished under heavy penalties. Farm
ers are exempted from the hoarding
provisions,
lng its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in the curatve powers
of Hall's Catarrh Medicine that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that It falls to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

Cat's Standing In Rome.
In Rome the cat gave the first evi
dence of predatory instincts and his
value as a mice destroyer. Agathicus,
whose pet partridge had been killed
and eaten by a cat, denounces him as
one of the devouring dogs of Actaeon.
I Pliny and Palladius praise him for his
destruction of mice and rats, while
Caesar's soldiers carried the faces of
cats emblazoned on their banners.
INCREASES THE STRENGTH
AND ENDURANCE
Of weak, nervous, care-worn, haggard-looking
men and women in a re
markably short time. Thi8 is fouml

The bill also authorizes the presi-j combination, Hood's Sarsaparilla
dent to requisition for military or puh
lie defense needs all necessaries named
and, to guarantee reasonable prices te
producer and consumer, to buy and sell
fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans and po
tatoes. The bill also authorizes the
president to requisition and operata
any factory, packing house, mine or oil
pipe line, at Just compensation, for
military or public defense uses.
Regulation of grain and other food
stuff markets to prevent injurious
speculation or undue enhancement of
prices, is another power conferred upoi:
the food administration through the
president.
Another clause, Inserted by the sen
ate after much criticism of alleged kale
by members of the advisory commis
sioners of their own products to the
government, prohibits federal agents
from soliciting or Inducing contracts
with the government In which they are
interested.
Herbert Hoover and his aids are es
tabllshed at their new quarters In the
notel Gordon, Washington, and Mr.
Hoover soon will make public the
procedure which he has decided upon
Enough is known of Mr. Hoover's pur- j
pose to warrant the statement that he
is not going to be content with any
merely perfunctory enforcement of the
law..
It Is palpable that if the law Is car
ried out with the exercise of even half
the authority conferred by congress the
noover food administration soon will
find Itself battling against the tremen
dous opposition of the great special In
terests which so loug have fattened on
food distribution and manipulation.
Also It Is obvious that If the public Is
to get relief the opposition of these In
terests must be expected, and It would
be a waste of time to try to get along
with them peacefully.
PuMic Must Help Out.
Mr. noover Is going to do a great
deal, as he has already done, through
the voluntary efforts of the people to
conserve food and prevent waste. He
also Is going to rely to a large extent
on the force of public opinion to back
him up In the enforcement of the new
law. It will be with this In mind that
he will give out before long a series of
statements covering his plans.
One thing which cannot be overlook
ed Is thnt while the bill was pending
leaders In congress were told repeat
edly It must be passed and something
must be done to effect lower llTtn
cost, because the unrest among tht
poorer families In the cities was grow-
