If the war is to be long drawn out, certainly we may look | for still higher prices Ii it is imperative that Great Britain take drastic steps to provide against the ab . e starvation of the poverty-stricken, when bread reaches approximately four cents my America should surely arouse to the seriousness of the situation when the t 3 san costs us seven cents same identical proposit confronts both mtries. Just so long as the F British nation has access to the same source of supplies that we have, it matter 4 not whether the war, the cause of the food shortage, is there here The pinch Be is as tight at one end of the line‘of food supplies as at the other as long as the line is kept open. The only difference is that the bulk of the available supply is at this end and that this government has the power to close the line and relieve the distress which is sure to come If conditions were reversed, do you suppose Great Britain would drain her arteries ure than his successor can hope to enjoy, at least at the af Pbeginning of | Ss reign oe ; The « \ t WY CH AHIES Mo DHIse ons ‘Nonpartisan Day!

' The modem Pullman car contains everything essential to cleanliness and sanitation which the best experts upon these subjects have been able to devise. After every trip each car is thoroughly cleaned and at frequent intervals fumigated in accordance with state and federal standards, To accomplish this three hundred and eighty three cleaning stations, with over four thousand em- ployes, are maintained in various cities. By such thorough and consistent effort every Pullman passenger receives the greatest possible pro- tection from the discomfort of } and dirt usually associated with railway travel.
