The Germans in internment
camps are better off as regards
food than the civilian population
at home if the following list of
bizarre food stuff issued by
the kaiser is considered.
Concentrated straw fodder
and ground grape pips are sug-
gested for table use in Germany.
In a published list of new food-
stuffs, with description of use,
the following are also found:
Rhubarb leaves, seaweed,
straw meal, crushed and ground
maize ears, heather stalks,
ground sugar-beet seeds, pars-
ley seed, wild radish husks,
bran, wine yeast, beechnut cake,
fish meal and various mixed
foods.

portant single act of his life;
that it marked the beginning
of a habit and a course of con-
duct to which he attributed his
success.
Something very analogous to
this, it is believed, is going to
be the effect on the American
nation of the war savings cam-
paign. Not only are millions of
individual citizens going to be-
gin to save but this habit of
economy and saving is going to
be a collective movement, a
movement not of individuals
alone but of the nation.
The habit of saving formed]
now has a deeper incentive than
ordinarily. We are saving now
not alone for selfish reasons, we j
are saving now from patriotism,
saving not alone for ourselves
hut for our country. The com-
bination of patriotism and thrift
is, indeed, going to make the
war savings campaign an epoch
in our nation.nl life. It is not
only going to be a thing of tre-
mendous benefit to millions of
citizens, it is going to be a
thing of tremendous advantage
to the nation as a whole, and
affect our whole national life.
It marks the beginning of a new
era in American life, an era of
economy, good sense and pat-
riotism.

Tremendous as is the present activity in the marshaling
of men, food and munitions for the conduct of the war,
the placing of the Bell System unqualifiedly at the dis-
posal of the Government has relieved one paramount
factor of preparedness.
The Canadians who have
elected the unionists to office
for another five years have rati-
fied by the vote of the loyal
population the conscription
measure of Sir Robert Borden.
This draft measure was aim-
ed at “slacker provinces”, the
French speaking population not
responding to the call for volun-
teers and the rest of the nation
voted to equalize the enlist-
ments.
The women in the western
provinces were the determining
factor in the voting being solid-
ly for conscription.

Yet with the growth of our military establishment, the

more need for telephone service by private business.

of the two.

The Tribune force, from the
“galley slave” to “pencil push-
er,” wishes you a Happy New
Year. May the year 1918 open
auspiciously, continue to your
pleasure and close to your
profit.
May your shadow never grow

and financial wealth, may you
enjoy physical health and may
you safely pass“the lions in the

better—for your having lived

association of these citizens
German aggression is a mat-
ter to be combatted during the
war, German transgression of
the entire decalogue of decency
is warfare, (the policy of
“frightfulness”) will be com-
batted long after the war is
over. “Made in Germany” will
be the most trade killing mark
that can be placed on a com-
modity. Germany’s place in
world-wide commerce in the fu-
ture will be restricted to a de-
gree that merchants of that
country will sincerely wish the
kaiser and his "bloody band of
child killers” had never led a
with the’ir government, and the
effect of this association is
going to be of great value to
these citizens and of great value
to the nation in making them
more personally interested in
their government and more
active and alert in the exercise
of their duties and rights as
citizens. Every Liberty bond
holder is going to be an active
champion of wise and economic
legislation and administration.
The Liberty Loan is not only
a great financial transaction; it
is a great national force, a
national bond between the bond-
holders and their country, a
great influence for better gov- j
ernment and better citizenship.

Each issue is complete in itself
and when delivered from the

return from left-over space, if
not sold before publication, the
space is a dead loss. If this un-
sold space is too great for profit
there is a deficit and the rate
must be made higher on the
sold portion. A newspaper
must be self-sustaining to be
respected and the commercial
returns should be such as to
make the paper pay a decent
margin without the necessity of
pandering to influential poli-
ticians for patronage.
A newspaper should be given
munity on a business basis. It
should not be forced to sell its
commercial columns at a ruin-
ous rate, that it may devote its

mothers, the rape of the grow-

German treatment of the popu-

one that might be expected of
the “Unspeakable Turk”. It is
not strange that the "Armenian

world in past times now is the
daily policy of the Turks’ Chris-
tian allies, toward Belgium or
Italian civil population.
The Prussian idea of destroy-
ing a village and murdering its
population because some crazed
unfortunate fired upon a Ger-
man does not seem to be effect-

beyond which no further out-

to know the exact amount and loca-

At no time in the history of this country has there been such a
demand for farm lands as now.
As the years go by the demand will be greater. We have a good
list of farms that we can sell at reasonable prices and on liberal

All meats and meat products for
the army and navy are obtained only
from inspected establishments and
bear the government stamp “Inspect-
ed and Passed.” This stamp means
that every step in the process of pre-
paring the meat has been under the
constant supervision of trained In-
spectors. At the camps all products
are re-inspected and laboratory an-
alysis made to show that the foods
have not been made injurious by tam-
pering.
Throughout the country there arc
2,600 inspectors engaged in this work.
