' - Get the Facts : Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in a state
ment on the food situation in the United States
issued today, admits that prices are high, but finds no justification for hysterical thinking or
action. ,
:The secretary, believes in obtaining facts regarding production,: distribution, storage . and
retailing of food products before corrective legis
lation is applied. We concur in his argument for
a thorough survey and investigation of the
problem.
Hundreds of elements enter into the High Cost of Living, and before these have been stud-
ted and their relation to each, other is established,
It is foolish to try to remedy;' the situation.
Says the secretary:
"Tho Mice of foodstuffs are htth. A fall and satto-
fastocr explaaattoa of prwraJllnr price is not possible oo the basis of existing knowledge. It ia only recently that
agencies hare been created la the outstay to itody food 'dlatribmtion, and wo have not an tho necessary facta to enabl as to atrhre at tho truth. Where tho food supply ria located, who owns it, wnat may bo the difSoclties of 'seetntor it, -whether the local market condttiona are due 'to ear shortage, whether there fa artificial manipulation or control, no one can atato with certainty. "It Is essential that .we hare tho facta not only because of the light they night throw on present conditions ,'bot also because they are prerequisite for tho working 'oat of a permanent, fast, and economical aystem of marhketing. There fore the investigation, directed by the President ought to be made promptly, and Congress ought i to gite the Federal Trade Commission and the Depart ment of Agriculture the necessary funds. "Certainly such an Investigation can not furnish' im
mediate relief, but it would be absurd to oppose it for this reason. It does not stand in the way of any other measures that may be wise. It does not prerent any
constructire action on the part of any municipal or local agencies. We must have the facts and the sooner the Investigation is undertaken the better. It is . highly probable that as a result of it large permanent improve
ments may be made."
Secretary Houston's plea for food conserva
tion in our homes is worthy of the attention of every housewife. Europeans for many years have accused us of-being profligate with our
resources. .
The secretary rightly says: "As a' nation we
seem to have a disdain for economizing. In many
homes there is a strong feeling that it is 'only
decent' to provide more food than will be eaten
and that-it is demeaning to reckon closely." Isn't his indictment true? Doesn't the average American believe in load
ing his table with food that will not be eaten and
that ultimately finds its way into the garbage
can?
Do we pride ourselves on trying to throw as
little as we can into the garbage can. or do we
recklessly throw away parts of vegetables, meats,
fruits and breadstuffs that are edible?
You will find the answer in our garbage cans. Collectively . we Americans throw away SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS worth
of food every year.
That is simon pure waste. That represents
monev which we should have saved. That factor
helps swell the increased price for food products Experts of the department of agriculture es
timate that we throw away twenty per cent of the edible portion of every potato that is served
on our table.
Waste in carving, waste in preparing, waste
in cooking, waste in serving, waste in throwing
away meats, vegetables and fruits, all help to
send the prices of commodities skyward.
Even if farmers plant greater acreages, the
result will not be an increased supply that will
meet the demand. We create a greater demand every year for a supply that remains practically
the same, because we throw away instead of con serve the amounts we purchase.
One reason for the increased cost of living is
to be found in our own kitchens and in the gar bage cans at the alley gateN . .

She rose and going to the book-caso took out a large) heavy relume. : It was the latest published on the brain, by Otto Steinins,. the eminent German mental specialist' Sister Henderson, who in all her spare moments read largely, quickly found the chapter she wanted. A little, intent, puzzled frown appeared on her face as she read. Her absorption was so great that she started violently when the door opened. A smart little woman, with beautifully dressed hair, rustled in, followed by the maid bearing tea. She was the eldest Miss Henderson and supplied the material needs of the home, while the sister attended solely to the nursing. When the servant had gone the sister told her about Captain Fane. "It was such a slight operation," she explained; "merely the replacement of a very small bone. That sort of operation is performed daily, and " in two weeks tho patient is well again. I have never, either here or in the hospital, known a case like his one." Miss Henderson listened gravely. "Has Captain Fane forgotten about his marriage?" she asked. "My dear Sarah, he cannot even remember his own name. At first, when I began to talk to him, I thought he was perhaps a little dazed, or that I had awakened him from a deep sleep; but when suddenly I discovered that
he did not know me I felt aghast. It
is so dreadful to see that puzzled, va
cant look in his nice, straightforward
eyes when one asks him the simplest question on any subject which hap
pened previously."
"When'B his wife what's her name
the actress coming to see him?"
"She was to have come today, but when I found out this about Captain Fane, I rang her up and told her, that
as he was still a little feverish, I
thought the visit had better be post
poned. I shall have seen Sir Maine then and heard his view on the case." "Such an oddllooking . man," Miss Henderson interpolated. "Sir Maline? He's a brilliant surgeon." "He makes me feel nervous to look at him," Mis3 Henderson declared, rising. "There's his car," she added, glancing out of the window. Sir Maline came quickly into the little room. In his big fur coat he seemed almost to fill it. Miss Henderson, after saying "Good
afternoon," went quietly out. "Won't you have a cup of tea, Sir Maline?" the sister asked. "Thanks," he said, "I should like one; I have been working incessantly since ten o'clock this morning." He absently watched the sister pouring the tea out of the little silver pot; his eyes wandered round the room. Suddenly the absentness vanished from their gaze as they rested on Professor Steinius's book lying open on the couch. He looked quickly at the sister. "So you read Steinius, sister? he asked, with a smile. "I try to read Professor Steinius," she answered; "hut I find his phyothe-
Bes rather, unintelligible, I am afraid
"Have you been looking up Captain
Fane's in this volume?" he laughed.
The sister blushed slightly. Sir Maline could not possibly . know her
reason for reading Steinius, but she
felt a vague sense of disloyalty in hav
ing wished to glean surreptitious evi dence, as it were, about his work.
"I find the lapse of memory very in
explicable," she confessed.
Sir Maline, thoughtfully studying
his tea, did not reply for an instant, then he said in a very assured way: "I feared it from the first."
He fixed his eyes piercingly on the
sister as he spoke. It was as though he expected his remark to affect her. She looked, however, still and composed. He put down his cup. "I will go up now," he said, "and perhaps you will follow me in a few minutes, sister?" "Certainly, Sir Maline," she replied. The procedure was somewhat unusual. Almost always the sister entered the patient's room with the doctor. Possibly the recognition of this fact occurred to Sir Maline. To be continued
EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts if your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.
The American men and womed must
guard constantly against Kidney trou
ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled vith uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elim-
inatlve tissues clog and the result is xidney trouble, bladder weakness and
3 general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps cf lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; it you suffer vith sick headache or dizzy, nervous t pells, add stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad.
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a taoiespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys v in then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush tind stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is tt source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

Editor Palladium: "v The notice in last evening's paper stating that the bill covering' the socalled hour more of daylight, is dying and we now hope that it is dead was received with great joy among Richmond laborers. Please pardon we laborers for not mourning its early departure but upon remembering those years gone by of tossing, tumbling, rolling and kicking all through a sickly hot night, until the wee hours of the night and the approach of the early dawn brought forth the cooling zephyr only then did we catch that short nap in which to recuperate strength for the next day's toil, sadly remembering this we drop a tear of joy over the grave of tho employer's fondest hopes that he might gain for himself that hour which the laborer needs the most I am a laborer, I work with them associate with them entirely, I know
