Food Atrocities

The urgency of food conservation must not be

overlooked. Food is still a vital factor in this

war. irresrjective of the outcome of the great bat

tie which is now raging on the western front. We must fight the battle against waste at home as valiantly as our soldiers are battling against

the Germans on the field. The Indianapolis

News savs:

Much has been written about the German atrocities. Much more probably will be written

before the war has passed into history. Cutting off the hand of a defenseless child is an unspeakable thing. No American would do it. But many Americans who complain of the brutality of the Germans forget that they are guilty of certain atrocities of their own. Frequently a man rises when the national anthem is played or sung. He knows the first verse and he la la's the rest of it. He uncovers his head when the flag goes by even if a cold wind is blowing. He joined the Red Cross and

bought a Liberty bond. When the Y. M. C. A. fund was being raised he chipped in for that. Every time he shaves he stops, poises his razor in the air and looks at himself in the mirror. Yes, he admits, he is a regular fellow. He could not go to the front, but he has done everything else he could do to help in a time of great need. But has he? Some of these well meaning patriots wear their patriotism on the surface. They go home from the office and demand a big piece of thick, juicy steak, or a plentiful supply of bacon. When the coffee comes they place three lumps of sugar Un the cup because they like it sweet. They scorn "corn bread and demand nothing but smooth, white Vbread on their menu. Dishes that have been concocted in an effort to be saving of the vital food supplies are rejected and there is a demand "fnr "something fit to eat." These men are guil

ty of atrocities. They maim the food regulations

every, time they eat at home. Jn public they fear "to rvoice "thei innermost sentiments, but at

home well, that is different. Every man s home is his castle, argues the food slacker, and when he commands food from the kitchen he is going to get it or know why. Many men with finicky appetites learn to eat strange dishes when they are married. Still others have been

learning new things since the war began. Right

now they ought to resign as food dictators in

their own homes. Let the women decide what

shall be cooked, and when the food is placed on

the table it is the duty of the men to eat it wheth

er they like it or not. ;,' . v

No Opposition to Elliott . ,'

It is certain now that Representative Elliott will have no opposition in his candidacy for renomination by Sixth district Republicans. The withdrawal of the only candidate that opposed him leaves the field clear. Elliott's work in Congress has been of such standard that there is no need of change, and consequently no necessity for a dispute of his claims to the re-nomination. Events of the last week make it imperative that our representative stay at his post. Representative Elliott's declaration that he would not return even his candidacy were contested, precluded all thought of his coming back to make the race, but nevertheless the fact that the only man

who opposed him, gives him the assurance that the whole Republican party of the district is back of him and wants him to return.

As we understand it. the word "Junker" is an East Prussian corruption of jung Herr (which may be Englished Young Gentleman) and is applied to the scion of a nnh1 house which has always devoted itself to military

service. The ancestors of the modern Junkers were the feudal nobility of East Prussia, inhabiting lands not originally German. The military Junker nobility became one of the pillars of Prussianism, the other being the bureaucracy. Bismarck was a good example of a Jutiker. The word "soviet", (pronounced approximately "sovyet," with the accent on the second syllable) is equivalent to our word "counsel" (advice) and "council" (an assemblage of people, temporary or permanent, for consultation); but in Russian the same word serves for both. It was so as well in early English. The distinction between "counsel" and "council" in our-language is comparatively modern. "Soviet" means primarily "advice." It was the name of the old Russian Cabinet, and also of the upper house of Parliament under the old regime. The word "soviet." however, is not used in Russia to designate a town council or a zemstvo. The town council (meaning a board of aldermen) is always called a duma (from dumat, to think), and the word "city" or "town" is added to it to distinguish it from the Imperial Duma, or lower house of Parliament. Consequently there are many municipal dumas in Russia as well as the na

tional or Imperial Duma, the lower house of Parliament. Neither is the word "6oviet" applied to a zemstvo. "Zemstvo' 'is derived from zemlya land and means primarily' an assemblage of land "holders or owners. With these two exceptions the word "soviet" is applied to any body of men that we should call a "council," as, for instance, the Soviet of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates.

In, his earlier years Lord Morris (afterward lord chief justice of Ire

land) was recorder of Galway. . On one occasion the last case on the list a dispute over a few shillings was

areued before him at ereat length and

with much warmth. Lord Morris was

anxious to get back to Dublin, where the courts were in full swing and he

held important briefs, within a tew

minutes the Dublin train was timed

to start. The recorder looked at his watch, but the wrangle did not seem to be approaching an end. At last ho said to the opposing solicitors: - "See here, gentlemen, I must catch a train. Her is thn sum in disoute."

IT'S A MISTAKE Made By Many Richmond Residents. Manv npi-nlf in a miszuided effort

to get rid of kidney backache, rely on I lasters, liniments and other make

shifts. The right treatment is kidney

treatment and a remarkably recom

mended kidney medicine Is Doan s

Kidney Pills. Richmond is no excep

tion. The proof is at your very door. The following is an experience typical of the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Richmond. Mrs. O. L. Fisher, 424 W. Main St.,

Richmond, cave the following state

ment in September, 1915: "I know rvian's Kidnev Pills are a splendid

remedy for kidney trouble; they have certainly done a lot for me. I suffered

continually from oains in my back and

r-onld eet :io rest day or night. The

medicine I 'was using didn't help me and when a friend advised me to try

Dnan's Kidney Pills, they benefited

in my back were relieved and so were

the other sjmptoms of kidney trou

cETTiur. THE CLOCK AHEAD

They are going to set the clock ahead an hour everywhere to save daylight. But the only thing the average hired man on the farm will save

will be another chunk or aaritness. i ne average hired man, going to bed. meets himself getting up, even as it is now. With the new rule in vogue he will no more than get the second boot pulled off before it will be time to pull the first one on again. All of which is remindful of tne story of the farmhand out in New York who went to his employer and wantel to work for less money. He didn't believe he was earning the $15 a month. "Why," asked the farmer, dumbfounded. , "Because," said the hired man, "there are three hours of the twentyfour that I waste. I don't do a darned thing but sleep." A rabbit-raising club has been started at Parkersburg, W. Va. About the first thing they will have to do will be to enlarge the city limits if they are going to keep it a local affair. it has been suggested that maybe Jess Willard would be willing to take on Benny Leonard or some other 130pounder for an exhibition match if his Phare is guaranteed at $1,000,000. Well, anything for a little excitement. We still maintain that Jess is the prize pacifist. Charlotte Perkins Gilman says if all women died, men would get along without them. But not much further than one generation. Kaiser telegraphs Von Hertling that "ihe German sword has brought peace in Russia." All the peace the kaiser will ever have in Russia will not worry the allies. "Mv face is set toward the east," pays Ludendorff. Turn around, Ludie. There is somebody coming up behind you.
