‘WITH. VICTORY. IN THE BALANCE KAISER'S FRIENDS CONTINUE CRIMINAL WASTE. ARE AID TO HINDENBURG Is Congress Nursing: Hun Helpers— Patriots. Should Wire Their Con- gressman_ Before It Is Too Y. Late For Action. S “Next in importance to the brave stand being made by the Allled armies against the onrush of the Hindenburg- horde is ‘the unioa of the patriotic peoplg of the United. States to stop wastage of food. Both are essential to victory. Therefore I urge that as many patriotic Minneapolitans as pos- sible attend the Food for Victory mass meeting at the Auditorium Tuesday night, and I especially urge that the men come and find out what splendid work the women h#ve been doing.”— A, W. Wiison, State Food Adminis- trator. 5 Patriotism Demands It. How any man with an ounce 'of patriotism in his body can see this preventable waste and fail to do all that is in his power to stop it is be- yond comprehension! An Insane Risk, A Criminal Folly. It is sheer insanity on the part.of Congress to face the risk of failure through the waste and destruction chargable to the liquor traffic. Think of it. Enough .bread to ra- tion our army and navy and millions of our fighting allies; sufficient coal to have averted the heatless days which caused the natfon a loss of two billions of dollars; and two billions of dollars in cold coin represent only the larger items of waste that are charg- able to the trafiic. It could all be saved by war-time prohibition. Add to this the uncounted and uncount- able value of the man power wasted, the hundreds of thousands of cars and the locomotives required for the traf- fic, the moral and the money cost of the vice, and crime it breeds. In con- sideration of these things the inaction of Congress assumes the aspect of criminal folly, At best it delays vic- tory and at worst it may spell defeat. Is Congress. Criminal? Are the people culpable? ‘With tragic monotony the Huns have been pushing us, with our: allies back and literally pinching the Bri- tish between the Hun devil and the deep blue sea. We have not been- winning the_ fight. Would it haye hélped it Congress-had passed.war time prohibition; and *saved the daily loss .of five and a half millions’ of “loaves of bread? = Would the tables have been turned if our ships had not rocked idly at their anchors delaying shipments of food and war equipment for lack of the coal and transportation that the breweries had consumed tn- 11 the government had to shut down industry at a loss of two billion dol- lars? Are the people culpable for not demanding that congress act, and act now? To Prove Our Patriotic Loyalty. Every loyal patriot should slice his bread the thinner, should recuce hig food portions and save, save, save to help win the war, and the Safety Commission and _the President and the Congress should stop the waste, waste, waste of the breweries. There is an old-fashioned story in an old- fashioned book that runs something on this wise: “Why beholdest thou the thick slice in thy brother's eye when behold millions of loaves are in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! First cast the millions of loaves out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly . to cagt the thick slice out of:thy brother’s eye.” If you believe In immediate war- time prohibition—the only way to let the Congress know it is to say so. Why not wire the U. S. Senate in care of Hon. Knute Nelson and Hon. Frank B. Kellogg and wire the House in care of the representative from your dis- trict to stop this waste and win tife war? exhaustion seemed near, i Eggs Have Hatched—Guard o Against Lice and Mites.
