The \"legalised and compulsory control of foodstuffs\" in Great Britain, Italy and\nIVance to, which the American report\nreferred was yesterday interpreted by\nLord Rhondda as meaning compulsory\nrationing.\n\u2022\"'. The new law will take effect at an\nearly date, the British food controller\nstates. It will supplant the voluntary\nrationing'system which has been in\neffect for nearly two years and will\nsupport by compulsory limitation of\nthe amounts of all foodstuffs to be\nconsumed per week the. regulations\nwhich for some time have limited the\namounts of various articles which could\nlegally be purchased.\nFood supplies In tne European allied\ncountries are limited by the available\nship tonnage as well as by world supply* By cutting down food consumption more' tonnage is left free to carry\nmen and munitions. In this respect\nthe European position differs from that\nof this continent To make compulsory rationing effective in the United\nStates and Canada would involve difficulties the European countries do\nnot face, but in order to conserve food\nIt may yet become both desirable and\nnecessary.\nTHE  MUCH ABUSED FOOD\n\u25a0 CONTROLLER.\n'The food controller cannot perfocm\ntlie. impossible. He cannot change the\nfact that*here la'a.' world shortage in\nproduction. He.cannot by waving a\nmagic wand remove -conditions created\nby the taking of 30,000,000 men out of\nproduction and placing them In the\nmost destructive of all occupations.\nHe cannot gain supremacy over the\nimmutable law of supply and demand,\nWhat the food controller can do is\nto prevent speculation, limit profits\nand ensure equitable distribution of\nessential food products.. He. has a'ready\ngone a long way In this direction and\nduring the next few months tt is to be\nexpected that he will do more.\nMilling and packing companies arc\ncontrolled and their profit's limited. I;\nfectlve control of sugar distribution hits\nbeen assumed, with the result th.it the\nprice of sugar did not run up to 20\ncents In Canada, as it did in Naw'.York.\nThe license system of control has within the past two or three weeks been\napplied to dealers in fish, fruit, vegetables and milk and to manufacturers\nof breakfast cereals. Where posvlble,.\nas In the case of milk, a definite limit\nhon been placed to the ''spread\" between producer and consumer. Exports of food products are controlled by\nlicense. Olemargarlne has been ad-\nmltttd to reduce consumption of batter. The law against consumption of\nbeef or bacon in public eating places\non Tuesday and Friday Is being enforced. Production of essentials Is being encouraged, that of non-esscntlals\ndiscouraged.\nTHE\nGeneral Crbwdor wants the American\nact amended so that young men'will In\nthe f uturo register directly they reach\nmilitary age;   \"\nNOT LIKELY TO BE A FINAL\nBREAK.\nRejection by the Bolsheviki of Germany's peace terms may not mean\nanything like a final break between\nthe negotiating parties. Germany has\ndemanded the retention of Poland,\nLithuania and Courland, which the\nBolsheviki could not possibly countenance unless it was willing openly to\ngo over lock, stock and barrel to the\nenemy. But Germany is almost certain\nto modify these proposals.\nThe Teutonic delegates are too clever\nand too experienced not to make their\nfirst request for a great deal more\nthan they expect to get. The hope of\nthe German government is that It may\nbo able to make peace on such terms\nas will permit it to resume victoriously\nthe war later, when the allies are less\nfavorably situated. With this end in\nview it can afford to accede now to\nmost of the Bolsheviki demands, expecting to turn on Russia afterward\nand, either by military or economic\npressure, grab all it wants.\nPan-German pressure at home Is the\nonly visible factor which,might keep\nthe German delegates from agreeing\nwith the Bolsheviki. The pan-Germans\nare so obsessed with the legend of the\ninvincibility of German might that\nthey are showing a tendency to insist\non retaining now the Russian territory they desire.\nSave and Serve.\nHungary seems to want a foast of\nsomething more satisfying than its\ngovernment's latest war loan issue.\nTighten your belts,\" says Lord\nRhondda to the people of Great Britain,\nand it's pretty good advise to extend|\nto the people of all the allied countries.\nThe Austro-German aviators beg to\nrecord another great victory in their\n\"march forward with God.\" They hit\ntwo hospitals in Italy and killed 18\npatients.\nTrotsky calls the German peace proposals \"hypocritical.\" Did he expect\nthem to lie Imbued with the spirit of\nunselfishness and the milk of human\nkindness?\n\"The verbal duel ranged from sugar\nto wheat,\" saya the Washington report of the clash between Senator Reed\nand Pood Administrator Hoover. But\nit seems to.have boon mostly vinegar.\nEfforts ,by \u25a0 the United States to speel\nup the activities of its ordnance bureau will mean a greater output of\nmunitions and a large demand fur such\nmetals as lead, zinc and copper. Such\nan increased demand' will help U\nsolve the lead market situatl-m for\nKootenay.\n| WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING |\n$ . \u00a3\nWhat Waste Costs.\nThe waste of 500,000 pounds of paper\na week, Canadian ant hoi ities estimated, entailed the butting of at least\n2000 trees a. week. Every ton of old\npaper recovered means a saving of\neight trees to mature growth. The\nsaving of woolen rags for tho manu\nfacture of shoddy saves land for crops\nwhich otherwise would bu required for\nthe raising of shoe'p. Men, money and\nmaterial\u2014capital and labm\u2014are con\nserved every time a bit of material la\nre-employed which formerly was de\ns troy ed\u2014Portland Oregon Ian.\nGETTING NEARER TO\nCANADIAN PLAN.\nThe United States 1b finding that Its\nballoting and quota system of draft\nwill npt stand tho strain of n war\nfought on the tremendous scale of the\npresent struggle.\nThe quota of states and districts,\nfor example, has been based,arbitrarily updn' population with an allowance\nfor the number ot voluntary enlistment. In future, Provost-Marshal\n.General Crowder intimates, the quota\nwilt depend entirely upon the number\nof Class 1 men, 'bachelors and widow\ners without dependents and whose\nWork is not essential, available.\nThat obviously Is the only sound,\nbasis for raising men. The existing\nplan' Is too haphazard and subject to\nxftahce. If the provost marshal gen-\n.oral's recommendation is carried. out,\n-tne United States will amend Its act\nt.o bring it more into line with the real\nselective draft plan which is now being Operated In Canada,\n'One suggestion he has made was not\nprovided for in the,Canadian act. In\nthe United States 700,000 men reach\nmilitary age annually. They Were not\nof that age when the bill became effective and hence are exempt In the\nCanadian act the some plan was fol-\n-Idir**. Men had to register only if\n',,' they hod ranched the age of 20 years\n\u2022* ths UnsW the passage of the act.\nTHE WEATHER\nTHE BREAD RATION\nThe normal allowance'of bread for\nthe soldier ot the front is one pound,\nwhilst at home he gets slightly less.,\nUntil-'recently it reached him. in the\nform of '.io, 2-pound loaf, off,lcidlly\nknown as the \"Coburg,\" to which wero\nattributed the merits of \"popularity\nwith the soldier\" and ability to; bland\"\na fair amount of knocking about.\"\nWar conditions, however, hove modified the methods of army bakers, and\nthe' \"Coburg\" has succumbed to more\nconventional patterns, and is seen no\nmore. War conditions have modified,\ntoo, the flour from which the lo'ayes\nore baked. Formerly a pure wheat\nflour, It ts now adulterated with a mixture of maize and other grain, in the\nsame manner as that consumed by the\ncivil population. Rye bread, however,\nwith which the soldiers, of ut least one\ncontinental army are content, finds no\nplaco in the dietary of British troops,\nwho thus reflect tho prejudice of their'\nrace in favour,of white' bread.\nTho army lias always baked Up own\nbread. Its bake houses, which are;In\ntho hands of the Army Service Corps,\nare situated ut convenient centers;in\nEngland and on lines of communication In , Franco. One of these bake\nhouses, at a big supply depot near\nLondon, bakes fiO.OOO loaves per day.\nThe dough is mixed in two machines,\neach of which mixes sufficient for 364\nloaves. There aro 20 ovons. each of\nwhich can bake 360 loaves in forty-five\nminutes. These ovens are never idle\nfor a moment, for the bake house is\nworking night and day, half the loaves\n\"being baked by tho day shift, and half\nby the night shift. ' Normally this\nbake house is making bread for 100,000.\nmen, but at one period during 1915\/ it\nwns supplying lfiO.OOO men with 75,000\nloaves dally.\nIn France bake houses are organized\non a still larger scale. At a certain\nbake house, in a base port, 300,000\nloaves are baked overy day. The flour\nIs brought direct from Canada or\nAmerica,-,and stored ot the bake ijouse.\nWhen the loaves are baked they aro\nkept 24 hours, for new bread, would\nnever stand tho journey to the front,\nand then placed In sacks and sent up\nwith other rations to the troops In the\nforward areas.\nAt no period of the war have tho\nbakers of the Army Service Corps been\nunable lo cope with the army's demand for bread. The system of supply from central depots has proved\nitself capable of ready expansion, and\nthough, lii the early days of the war,\norders for bread -.were placed with contractors, such arrangements were only\nof a temporary character, and soph\ngave place';to the sysienvof the army\nbake house, in which, flour bought, by\nthe Army Contracts.depaitment was.\nbaked. As the army consumes several\nmillion loaves per week, It can easily'\nbe understood that, the taali of 'tlie\narmy's bakers Is thus no light ono.\nBefore the war the contracts department.at the war office bought the flour\nrequired.for the army's bread iu-'thc-\nopen markets in England. Fourteen\nmonths' experience, however, showed'\nthat better results could he obtaihbd\nby purchasing flour In the Canadian\nmarkets and importing direct to the\nbase ports in France. Accordingly,\nwith the assistance of the Canadian\ngovernhient, arrangements were made\nto put such a system Into effect. The\nCanadian Pacific railway, noted as our\npurchasing agents, and direct shipments to France of Canadian flour,\nmilled in Canada from Canadian'wheat,\nhave been made continuously since tho\nautumn of 1911V. 1-nrge purchases of\nflour, however, continued to ho made\nIn  England,   but   here  there   was   no\nnecessity for the war office t!o exercise\"]\ndirect, influence ovt-r the markets.\nSince October,' 1816, \\\\y> government\nhas placed the control of tho whole\nof the grain; supplies of the country; in\nthe hands of a specially appointed commission.. The\/commissioners undertake to purchase, for the use of Great\nBritain and'her allies, the surplus of\nthe whole.\"world's production .of wheat.\nThey' also exercise control of ., the\nEnglish flour nitllH, supplying them\nwith ffralh; alii} regulating the distribution of fljoiir* to meet the needs of\nthe army and'the civil population. ,In\nthis way .'i\\$: army continues to. purchase, 'flourJin1 the \"English markets\nmuch as .'it 5ttra; before the war, while\nat the same time drawing supplies for\nthe troops at the front direct from the\nCanadian markets.\nCanada and the .United Staets havo\nsupplied .most of tho corn required by\npur armies, whilst some has also been\nsent from Australia, but differences of\ntransport, have prevented us from\ntaking a full advantage\" of the Australian., crops. Wheat for. the armies\nin Egypt and tit-Salonika has been\nbrought\"'from India, and France and\nItaly have*' Mfco. dro,wn supplies from\nthis source. .\nDuring.the first eighteen months of\nthe war the army had consumed nearly\na thousand million pounds of wheat.\nAt present a million spldlors are consuming between seven and ten million\npounds of flour per week, which represents the crop of 14-16 square mites\nof wheat fields. When further it Is\ntaken into consideration that supplies\nfrom Russia, one of the principal exporting'' countries, have been almost\nentirely cut. off, It can easily be understood that tlie situation calls for the\nmost stringent measures of control.\nIt Is not always possible to supply\nthe troops. In tho field with bread,\nnor would' it be advisable for broad to\nform\" tlie staple Item, of .the army's\nration,'unless some less perishable alternative, were also provided. Such\nan alternative is Supplied by biscuits\nIf, for any reason, it Is found Impossible to supply, the full allowance of\nbread, biscuits are substituted, and the\nbread ration may thus consist partly\nof bread and partly of biscuits. Biscuits, too, form a part of tho emergency ration, which overy soldier carries, and tins of biscuits are often kept\ntry the front, trench systems, to be,used\noh occasions when the regular supplier\nof food \"may hot be forthcoming.\n, Army biscuits orei flat, square ond\nhard, aiid their--toughness at ' firs\ngained\/ for them no; small \/notoriety.\nThey are;so(ter now than they used to-\nbe, but,, at the same time, they', need\ntd.:.he: hart),, for ititey\/ are intended for\nuse on abnormal occasions, and.must\nbo. able to withstand abnormal conditions,'in the haversack or the pack.\n. ljlscults,. .unlike Jjr.ead^, ore .manufactured'.-by. private contractors* When\nthe war bifgan six; firms made bls-\ndiitts . for-, the yar' office, but nearly\nail biscuit mamifaeturing firms have\nj\/Bfhoe ti&Veb.Ljn> tftq^work; Raw materials aro supplied to them,'and the\ncontract,roteiTaro regulated to secure\na fair pi-Ice to the' government and a\nfair profit \\p the manufacturer. \"The\nbiscujts are ^aqked in tin canisters,\nholding 15 to 20 pounds, and tlie empty\ncanisters, for which--a variety of uses\nhave beep found, -form one of the most\nfamiliar objects in the trenches. Two\nmillion pounds of biscuits go to France\nevery Syoek. and during ' the first\ntwenty months of the war alone, over\ntwo hundred million pounds were delivered to the government by the biscuit manufacturers.\nGARDENERS JOIN\nIMPROVEMENT SOCIETY\nMatt  Decides Inadvissble to Add! to\nList of City Soclttlee\u2014Strengthens\nExisting Organisation.\nAn enthusiastic and welt attended\nmeeting of persons interested in floriculture was held In' the city'hall last\nevening to consider the question of\nforming a horticultural society ' In\nNelson and district.

Rose and Ball; Candidates Selous, Jsffs.\nLast evening marked the opening, of\nthe civic... elections campaign, when M.\nR. McQuarrie announced his platform\nIn ttfy mayoralty contest. Among the\nspeakers at the meeting were Aid. W.\nCk Rose, who announced .his support of\n'Mr. McQuarrie and. addres'seu the\nmeeting oh proportional representation. 'Other speakers were Harold Selous, and Aid, John Bell, aldermanlc\ncandidates.\nIn introductory remarks the, chairman, O. p. Stevenson, stated that a\nchange in the civic government' was\nnecessary. M. <R. McQuarrie had been\nmentioned for m^yor,. supported by\naldermanlc candidate Rose, fielous,\nBell,and Jeffs. Their object was to\nsupport and elect a sane, safe and progressive administration, he said.\nDr. Rose said that again he had no\nexcuse to qffer in offering himself to\nthe electors as a candidate for alderman. He had been connected .with\ncivic affairs for the past 15 years, he\nsaid, and it had practically become a\nhabit with him. Some of the women In\nthe 'city had, he. said, mado the remark\nthat they were quite satisfied with the\nmen's January amusement. He was a\nsupporter of Mr. McQuarrie because,\nhe said, there was need for a more\n\"progressive administration than in the\npast. Nelson was the leading city of\nthe interior of British Columbia and It\nwas up to the citizens to get put and\nkeep the town going. There were\nmany advantages in the city which\n.others could not boast of, he said, and.\nInsofar as. public utilities were concerned Nelson had sufficient to accommodate a city three times its size. The\nunsually cheap power available should\nbe a factor in Inducing the establishment of Industries. This was one of\nthe proposals which Mr. McQuarrie\nwould support; he said.\nRefers to Roads,\nThe Impassable, condition of the\nroads could be overcome with a little\nwell] advised expenditure; ho said.\nMany did not realize tho condition of\nthe roads until they had ridden around\nthe district in cars &s Mr. McQuarrie\nhad.\nAnother reason for which, ho stated,\nhe upheld fifr. McQuarrie\" was the need\nfor the early completion of the imir\nroad.. Access to the city would then\nbe given to hundreds of tourists, he\nsaid. This was one project that needed boosting.\nDr. Rose then turned to the matter\nof proportional representation which\nwould he introduced to the ratepayers\nof 'the city at the coming elections.\nHe stated that he had been asked to;\nexplain the system which different authorities had differed on. The counting and not the marking was the confusing part, he said.\nThe method had several advantages\nover _the old system. One was that any\nsection of a city could control Its\nquota.. With the aid of a blackboard\nhe illustrated his explanation.\nExplains New System.\nIn the civic election of 1917 thcro\nhad been a total of 818 votes cast. The\nfirst step, then, was to get the total\nnumber of votes east which In the\nelection last year number 818. There\nwere to be six aldermen elected. So\none waB added to six and the total was\nused as a quotient to divide the number of votes cast. The result was 117.\nTWs meant that 117 votes would elect\na, candidate. It meant that any. section of the city \"which had 117 votes\nelected Its man.\n\"The power of voting is limited only\nhy the number of candidates,\" he said,\nadding. \"Another advantage was that\nany man could say, 'Certainly, I'll vote\nfor you,' because every vote can count\nfor the whole of them.1 It was not, absolutely necessary, however, to vote\nfor the total number which wo*uld >be\nelected. If only ono man was voted for\nthe ballot would not bo spoiled. The\nnames were arranged on the ballot in\nalphabetical order. The voter should\nplace the figure \"1\" opposite the name\nof the man which he favored as first\nchoice. The figure \"2\" should be placed after the mime of the second choice,\n\"3\" after the third choice, and so on\ndown the list. In the caso of the aldermanlc election of six each ballot should\nbear opposite separate names the figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,' 6. While a vote for\nonly one man would not spoil the ballot\nmm\nStarting of tho great Vltugraph\nSerial,\nThe Secret Kingdom\nTho first two chapters of this\nthrilling continued photoplay will\nibe  shown.\nTwo-reel comedy revue with\nCHARLIE CHAPLIN\n_> ; :\t\nComing Wednesday and\nThursday,\nDOUGLAS FAIRBANKS\nIn a live wire comedy,\n\"Wild and Wooly.\"\nIt was npt advised;, Dr. Ropi.suggest-\nod that citizens should vote for one\nman for every vapa.npy to be filled. If,\nhowever, a voter Inadvertently p'aced\ntwo figures opposite one name, the ballot, was spoiled. It would also be spoiled if fcn intervening number was left\nout. Fo.rJnstauce the figures 1, 2, 4, 5,\n6 on a ballot which called for tho election of six candidates would spoil It.\nThe numb>cB must bo consecutive.\nCounting Most Troublesome.\nHe then explained the counting,\nwhich was the difficult part. He took\nas an example the first figures he had\nused in which It was supposed that\nthere was a total of 818 balolts, cast.\nSix nldermen Would have to get 117\nvotes each to be elected .according to\nproportion. AH of the would would\nflVat be separated according to first\nchoices. \"A\" might have 180 first\nchoice votes. He, would need only 117\nto be elected,, so the surplus 6.8 would\nbp turned over to a candidate who\ncould use them and this power waind\nbe giyen to the mttn who appeared as\nsecond, choice on each individual ballot. The same method was followed\non down to the sixth candidate or,\nwhatever number was to be elected.\nHarold Selous  Speaks\nAldermanlc . Candidate Harold\nSelous was the next; speaker. He said\nthat he was in support of Mr. McQuarrie. He had been asked and had\nconsented to be a candidate for alderman on Mr. McQuarrle's aldermanlc\nslate. He was supporting Mr. McQuarrie nut because he did not like\nMr. AMiable, but because he did npt\ntrust him. True, this year the war\nhad htnderefl efforts of progress but\ntwo or threo years back when he conr\nsidered Mr, Annable's first term he\nsaw that Mr, Annahlc had, he said,\nfilled the bill of extravagance to the\nfull hand, He had real estate Irons In\nthe fire at the samp time, thp speaker\nstated, which was in his opinion Improper.\n\"My main reason for wanting to\nsee Mr. Amiable out of the mayor's\nseat is that I don't trust htm,\" Mr.\nSelous continued. Mr. Amiable always\ngot out a battle cry which would\ntickle the voters, he continued, bust\nyear the battle cry hod been most\neffective, he said. After, prohibition^\nhad become a certainty thp cry had\nbeen, \"Elect Annahlc and have pro-;\nhibitlon,\" and \"Elect Selous and have\na city of flowing whisky.\" In reality,\nhe said, the prohibition question had\nbeen nettled and the election of either\nman made no difference In that;\nmatter. There was a story around\n.\u2022he city, he said, thut If Mr. McQuarrie was elected the town would lie as\nit was before, while If Mr. Amiable\nwas elected It would be pure. This 1b\nfalpe, he said, and Mr. McQuarrie proposes that the city will be run this\nyear as It was last year.\nAid. John Bell was next culled to\nthe platform. He said that he was\nnot going,to say much because those\nin attendance were to \"do\" and not. to\ntalk. \"To advance.the city of Nelson\nsomething would have to be done and\nhe was of the opinion It could be done\nif the right man got In.\nCandidate  McQuarrie Speaks\nMr. McQuarrie stated *ln opening his\nremarks, that he was proud to be. associated \\vlth men who had announced\n'their support for his election. With\nreferenco^tu Aid.. Rosn he .saljl thptj\nhe did not think any three men in the\ncity had done as much for the bcncflli\nof Nelson. He had assisted persons\nIn numerpus ways. Men .who saw the\ngood to be done In a town were men\nwho made a city, he said.\nAid. Bell's Record\nAid, Boll had saved the city thousands of. dollars in its incinerator\nplant. Tj'hen the proposal was first\nmadp that an ipclncrutor was neccs-'\nwiry It was stated that It. would cost\nsome $30,000. The matter had been\ndeult with by Aid. Bell by the erection\nof a plant whlth at a cost, of u few\nthousand dollars had more than supplied the needs of the city. The plant\nhad been the. subject of a great deal\nof comment, Lethbrldge city hud sent\na delegation to Inspect the economic\nNelson incinerator.\nHarold Selous had never been accused of wasting city money when he\nhad acted as mayor of the city, Mr.\nMcQuarrie continued. Mr. Jeffs bad\nhelped make Nelson known throughout the country by his activity In\nsport circles. In lacrosse and hockey\nhe had been one of Nelson's star men.\nIn tho city he had put up the same\ngame.\nSpeaking of the candidates for the\npolice commission, Mr. McQuarrie said\nthat Fred Hume had been in the district and the city too long. to need\nIntroduction. George Motion had\nbeen a police commissioner before. ,\nPossibilities in District\n.\/'liyith n\\cn such as these to conduct\nth,e city affairs surely the citizens will\nfeel, that their Interests arc to bp\nlooked after.\" Mr. McQuarrie referred\nto an Incident which took place some\ntithe ago When a representative of the\nAssociated Press who happened in the\ncity told him that during hts travels\nthroughout the world he had neve)\nbeen so Impressed with future possibilities as he had in the Nelson district. Nelson should try to induce a\nnumber of small industries to reestablish. In the city, even though they\nwould employ only a few men, he\nsaid.\n.. With reference to the Ypilr road,\nMr. McQuarrie said that the trade\nbrought into, the city.would be considerable. It had been roughly estimated that $40,000 would cover the\ncost Qf building the road. This expenditure would mean that access to\nthe. city from Grand Forks, Trail,\nRossland and Salmo, Ymlr and Brio\nwould be effected. This meant niore\nbusiness to the city and that meant;\nsomething.\nMr. McQuarrie also stated that he\nwas hi favor of the establishment oft\na normal\" school, in the city. Thp\nschool trustees had secured a school\nbuilding which was- adequate to accommodate   normal    clusscs,   which\nFor Rent\nWs havs far rsnt p Niosly Furnished Modern House in Rose-\ntnont, slss Unfurnished Houses In different part, of Mis city.\nWs havs sn inquiry for Four or Five Aorei on the Outskirts\nof the elty, suitable for a ehioken ranch,\nINSURANCE\nCharles F, McHardy\nREAL   ESTATE-''     ' fc-'-'-FUn\nWanted for Cash\nGreen hides and calfs and green salt\ncured hides and. calfs,\npound  .........IOC to 20C\nDry hide! and calfs, lb. 20o to 32c\nCulls, bulls and stags at value.\nFurs exceedingly high.
