L. Irwin,\nsecretary of the local food conservation board. In this connection the\ncommittee points out that the food\nboard has recently made a number of1\nchanges in the regulations governing\npublic eating places. Instead of applying only to places where 24 or more\nmeals are served a day they now cover\niiny. and all places where meals are\niuldi In addition-the regulations are\nnow to apply  to picnics,  parties,  ba-\nars or any functions or entertainments where food is served, whether\ngiven for patriotic or church purposes,\notherwise. It is not necessary to\nlake out licenses to hold such entertainments, but it is necessary that on\nany occasion where food is being sold\nor served outside the Immediate family circle, it must be only what Is allowed under the public eating place\nregulations.\nWith regard to the sales of home\ncooking, It is pointed out by the committee that while In these cases also,\nlicenses are not required, none of the\narticles which are forbidden under the\niriyate consumption regulations may\nbe made for such sales. These are\ncandy, French pastry, iced cakes or\nbiscuits or cakes with sugar icing between the layers or on the exterior.\nOne of the recent orders of thc food\nboard expressly prohibits tlie making\nof any and ail of these articles for\nprivate consumption, nor may they be\nsold as home cooking. Further than\ntills, any cakes or ice cream which may\nbe made privately to be served or\nsold at entertainments of any description, must be made In accordance with\nho 'quantities of . flour, (sugar and\nshortening which aro specified for use\nin the manufacture of such articles\nb.\\ regular dealers. The basis for theso\nuul Indeed ail of the food bonrd's orders is the absolute necessity existing\ntoday- for saving food We are fast approaching the most acute food crisis\nthe history of the world. The regulations and restrictions referred to are\nenable Canada to do her share and\nmore, If need be, toward providing the\nfood supplies so urgently required\noverseas,* and the committee says \"It\nis .up to utv\u2014 the people* of-Canada\u2014to\nseo, that, they are carried out faithfully and willingly.\"\nThe food board, however, wnnts\nmore than the mere letter of their orders observed, they want the spirit of\nthem understood and carried out, and\nthis is really the only way in which\nthe work of true food conservation can\nbe put over. It requires tlie individual\neffort of every man, woman and child\nin Canada. Each one must regard him\nor herself as a food controller, responsible for seeing that lie or she individually does what each knows should\nand must be done to save food and\neliminate waste.\nAll persons promoting such functions\nshould, before completing their plans,\nmake sure of details in the orders in\ncouncil, the board urges, copies of\nwhich can be obtained from the secretary of the food conservation committee.\n\"Had any definite information from\nthe  boy?\"\n.   \"Yes,   He writes me that he's somewhere In  France.\"\nTry lo cut your own hair is shear\nTeacher\u2014Can you tell me If you are\nan inverterbrate or a mammal?\nScared Pupil\u2014Blease, miss, I'm a\nMethodist.\nNEW      GRAND\u2014William\nTrail; Kato Johnson, Trail.\nJames,\n' A.

And the\npeople at home will see to lt that they\nare riot disappointed.\nGOOD NEW8 FROM THE ITALIAN\nj*  FRONT.\nNews from the Italian front continues to'be most encouraging and tho\nindications are that the failure of thc\nAustrian,'offensive will become apparent even earlier than havo the\nfour great offensives by the Germans\non the western front.\nlt wlll.be noted that Vienna's claim,\nwhich is hardly' likely to bo underestimated, is of only 2000 prisoners in\naddition to the 10,000 claimed during\ntho flrst'two days of the struggle. It\nwill also, be noted that the Italians\nhave Increased the number of prisoners in th*elr hands to more than 4500\nIn the first counter movement the\nItalians captured 3000, so that during\ntho third day of the battle thoy took\nalmost as many prisoners, as the Aus\nirlans claim.\nThe Italian army is not only resisting magnificently,   but  it  Is  hitting\nback vigorously.  In fact, on some sec\ntlons of the front lt has maintained\nthe initiative all through the struggle.\nA GOOD IDEA.\nThe Canada food board is asking\nthat all banquets and other meetings\nat * which refreshments aro served,\nwhen such are considered necessary,\nshould be arranged so as to take the\nplace of regular meals and not to constitute extra meals.\nThis request ls issued in face of the\nserious food situation at the present\ntime'arid the necessity of so conserving supplies as to Increase to the greatest possible extent shipment to the allies, especially during the next three\nmonths until the harvest becomes\navailable.\nH. B. Thomson, chairman of the\nboard, explained today that tho next\nfew months were a critical period. \"In\norder that the allies may bo sustained,\"\nhe said, \"it is necessary that our present stock should be conserved with\nthe utmost care. Banquets and similar\nentertainments represent a very considerable wasto of food. With a littlo\nthought these can be arranged so as\n\u2022 not to constitute an extra meal. Wo\nbelieve that it will only be necessary\nto point out the need that this should\nbe done.\"\n'The person who today cats moro\nfood that he needs ls today helping\nthe enemy, because ho Is not giving to\nour soldiers and allies that support\nWhich is necessary to win the war.\nTho war has changed many things\nand lt ls now necessary that wo should\nalter our social conditions so as to conform to the needs of tho food situation,\nwhich is serious, indeed,\"\n2000 prisoners; Italians take 1500 prls\noners. From the results ot the\nbattlo it would not be easy to tell\nwhich side was talcing' the offensive.\nEmperor Charles is with his troops\non the Italian front. He must be getting lots of reason for starting the\nnew peace offensive which will bo one\nof the earliest moves by the central\nempires,\nVienna denials of friction between\nGermany and Austria are near the\ntruth. Germany is Austria's boss and\nmerely gives its orders. There isn't\nroom for friction between an autocrat\nand his servants.\nWHAT THE PRE88 IS SAYING\nMelting Up Dollars.\nThere will be a $350,000,000 firo in\nWashington in a fow days. Thc president has signed tho bill authorizing\nthe treasury department to melt and\nsell that number of silver dollars as\nbullion. The demand for silver Is due\nto the war In Europe, where thero ls\nan unprecedented demand for small\nsilvor coins. Tho valuo of tho silver\nis about ?1 an ounce and lias been\nso fixed by law.\u2014Washington Star.\nThe Thrift Habit.\nAn important outcomo of the world\nwar ls the creation of the thrift habit\namong the majority of the American\npeople. It is real thrift, for, although\nthe war has Increased thc rewards of\nlabor, the cost of living hns been Increased in proportion. One proof of\nthis thrift habit Is seen ln the growth\nof savings In the United States since\nthe war began.\u2014Wall Street Journal.\nCOLD STORAGE\n\"Did you mako any Liberty bond\nspeeches?\"\n\"Only ono,\" replied Mr. Dustin Stax,\n\"but I flatter myself it was a protty\ngood one.\"\n\"What was it?\"\n\"I said 'give me $5,000,000 worth.'\"\n\"What's the dispute about?*\" thy\nstorekeeper asked his clerk, and added: \"Remember In this store the: customer is always right.\"\n\"He says you're an old Bhark,\" explained the clerk briefly, -.\n\"Tho German people apparently believe that they are safe as long as they\nstand by the kaiser.\"\n\"Well, aren't they?

This adheres to their\nbodies and soon kills them. Three\napplications on consecutive evenings\nare advisable. Shingles, placed here\nand there throughout infested gardens\nunder low growing plants, will attract\nmany slugs, for they will form suitable shelters for the -little -creatures\nand, incidentally, will luro them to\ntheir doom. If the shingles are turned over In tho morning tho slugs hiding there may be easily destroyed by\nscraping them off and crushing them\nunder foot.\nI QUESTIONNAIRE\nI        LOCATED SOLDIER BUT\nJOKE IS ON GOVT.\n\u25a0S \u2014V\nln the possession of a naval officer\nin ban Francisco is a questionnaire\nsent to a young San Franciscan, isho\nliad enlisted beiore it was malicd.

It Is tho most majestic voyage that the mind of man\ncan take; Particularly at this tlmo\nought Britons and Amoricans to turn\nfor comfort and inspiration to the\ngreat poets of froodom, who are the\npriceless possession of all English\nspeaking races.\u2014Toronto Globe.\n| A   NEW   ERA   IN   JERUSALEM\nA correspondent at Jerusalem\nwrites:. \"Although our occupation\ndates only four months back the very\natmosphere of this region seems to\nhavo undergone a change..

This .literally means the\nright of transport.' It was a right\nanciently exercised by a belligerent to\nseize vessels of neutrals for the transport of his troops nnd munitions. A\n'\u25a0general principle of international law\nis that neutral property in belligerent\nterritory shares the same liability to\nseizure for war purposes as property\nof the citizens of the country. The\njustice of the application of the principle to ships temporarily, or to use\nTrail's phraso \"passingly,\" in tbe port\nof a belligerent has been questioned.\n\"Rut the weight of authority among\ntext writers seems to be that such\nvessols may be seized in cases of military necessity upon tender of full compensation. Moreover, ships which\nhave been in our ports for six months\noi- more, detained because of their\npurpose to carry cargoes of grain\nultimately destined for our enemies,\ncan hardly be said to be 'passingly'\nhere. They are doing no good to nny\none. now. Why should we not use\nthem If wo givo full compensation lo\ntheir owners?\nBismarck Did It\n.\"It Is an Interesting circumstance\nthat the most modern instance of tbe\nassertion of this right before this \\yar\nwas by Count Bismarck in the war of\n1870. He asserted it against Great\nBritain, a neutral. The Prussians\nseized six British colliers in the Seine,\nnear Rouen, a place within German\nmilitary Jurisdiction, for tlie purpose\nof scuttling them and obstructing tbe\npassage of French gunboats on the\nSeine.\n\"Bismarck defended the action as\n'one of necessity, which even in lime\nof peace may render the employment\nof destruction of foreign property admissible under reservation of indemnification.' He continued, 'I take the\nopportunity of calling to mind that a\nsimilar right in time of war has become a peculiar Institute of law, the\nJus Angnrlne, which so higli an authority as Sir Robert Rhilllmore defines thus:\n\" 'That a belligerent power demands\nand makes uso of foreign ships, even\nsuch ns are not in inland waters, but\nin ports and roadsteads within Its\njurisdiction, and even compels the\ncrews to transport troops, ammunition\nand implements of warfare.1\nLaw of U. S. Code\n\"England acquiesced iu the legality\nof the seizure on payment of full compensation. This view, thus agreed\nupon, is sustained by Oppenhoim, professor of Internatinnal inw at Cambridge, Eng., by Coleman 1'hlllpsou,\nand indeed by most international\nJurists, including the Germans. Dana\nand Lawrence vigorously dissent. It\nis also declared to be the law in tho\nUnited States naval war code.\n\"An analogous right of land lo\nseize neutral railway cars In case of\nabsolute necessity is reluctantly recognized in the second Hague convention,\nif compensation is given. Prussia\nexercised the right In respect to Swiss\nrailway cars in the war of 1870. On\nthe same principle, Great Britain in\nlii 14 seized four vessols of Turkey\n(then a neutral) building in English\nshipyards and paid for them, Perhaps a jSistinctlon might be made In\nthat these vessels were not yet afloat.\n\"Doctor Loudon, minister for foreign\naffairs of Holland, insists thnt whatever the right may he as to a small\nnumber of vessels, it does not exist\nas to a commercial marine of ROO.000\ntons en bloc. It is certainly true tliat\nIhe right has never been applied ho\nextensively as now proposed. It is\nhard to see, however,  why extent of\nGood Reliable Clothing\nEVERYTHING THAT COUNTS IN CONSIDERING CLOTHES GOODNESS IS YOURS\n\u25a0WHEN  YOU  BUY  YOUR  CLOTHES   HERE\nBEST     FABRICS,     EXPERT     TAILORING,\nUP-TO-THE-MINUTE STYLES-\nNOTHING  OMITTED\nTHE WHOLE  STORY  IS GOOD RELIABLE\nCLOTHES AT MODERATE PRICES\n$16\" to $26\n00\nGIVE TO THE  RED  CROSS TILL YOUR  HEART  SAYS \"STOP\"\nWW Button's M lljifij M\nthe application of the principle should\nchange tho rule.\nThey Are Here\n\"The ships are within our jurisdiction and have been here for six\nmonths or more because they do not\ncomply with our lawful regulations of\nour foreign trade. We did not induce their coming in such numbers.\nThey are here. Our right to seize\nthem rests on their being wllhln our\nterritory. This makes them Just, as\nliable as property of American citizens to seizure for war purposes, if\nour military need for them is great.\nSuch need certainly exists in view of\nthe critical condition of our transport\nand our imperative obligation to feed\nour soldiers and our allies abroad.\n\"It will be woll, of course, to secure\nfhe vessels by agreement with Holland. .This we undoubtedly could do\nbut for Germany's intervention and\nthroat. Germany has no just right to\ncomplain of Holland for agreeing lo\nthe sale of vessels to us, when by the\nmodern right of angary which Bismarck asserted we could properly enforce such a sKfil\"\nDR.

E.1 and\nthe collections from the school chUj\ndren for the prisoners of war, but this\nwent to the national Red Cross and\nnot through the local,branch.\n.--The. campaign was for monthly\nsubscriptions, for monthly payments\nto meet the monthly demands of the\nsociety for monthly shipments to the\nhospitals. It was asking for such sub*\nscriptions to be made for the duration\nof the war where possible. Such subscriptions, were preferable to donations which were not pn a monthly\nbasis. .\nReads Acknowledgment.\nMr. Graham read.au acknowledge\nment received by tho Nelson society\nfor a shipment of Red Cross material,\nIt said that the recent heavy fighting\nhad made largo demands on the stores\nand that in order to provide the necessary comforts for the soldiers it was\nimperative to receive . a constant\nstream of supplies. ..   .,\n\"Do you want the Nelson workers\nto have supplies to keep the hospitals\nequipped with material, \u00a3or the soldiers\nduring thc present hard fighting?\" he\nasked,- .:\n.-; Mr, Graham praised those who had\nhelped in the work tho committee had\nset out to do. ... ,-*\nThe-chairman called on Mr. Graham\nto introduce the speaker of tho evening, pr.
