The food control bill, which passed the Senate yesterday afternoon, will be feigned by the president Friday, it is stated. The vote in the Senate was sixty-six for the measure, and only seven against. The measure providing for a food survey was also passed with no opposition worth speaking of. The prompt appointment of Her Herbert bert Herbert Hoover is expected to follow placing the siganture of the president upon the bill. . Action of the Senate in finally passing the bill virtually concludes the work of Congress on the admin istration food legislation program as indicated by President Wilson last May. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL Washington, Aug. 9. The food control bill establishes, during the war, broad government control over foods, feeds, fuel, oils, natural gas, fertilizer and its ingredients, tools, utensils and equipment required for the actual production of all such pro products, ducts, products, designated 'necessaries'' In establishing government con control, trol, control, the bill authorizes the president to enter into any voluntary arrange arrangements, ments, arrangements, create or use any agency or agencies, to accept services of any person, without compensation, to co cooperate operate cooperate with any agency or person, to utilize any department or agency of the government, and to co-ordinat their activities. Hoover Food Administrator In pursuance of such authorization, President Wilson plans to appoint Herbert C. Hoover food administra administrator. tor. administrator. Control of other necessaries named may be accomplished through other agencies. The House provision for an individual food administrator was enacted only after the president had prevailed upon the Senate and House conferees to eliminate a Senate amendment, inserted by two over overwhelming whelming overwhelming votes of 63. to 19 and 60 to 23, proposing a board of three sub subject ject subject to Senate confirmation. Comprehensive powers are given in the bill, passed as a war measure, to assure adequate supply and equitable distribution of the named necessaries, to facilitate their movement; to pre prevent, vent, prevent, locally and generally, scarcity, monopoly hoarding, injurious specu speculation, lation, speculation, manipulation or private con trol affecting supply, distribution and movement. Other provisions of the bill fix a minimum "price for wheat beginning next year at not less than $2 per standard bushel; provide for coal and coke price; fixing, commandeering and government operation of factor ies and mines producing necessaries; for government purchase, sale and requisition of various necessaries, and for federal licensing of agencies pro ducing and handling them. The bill appropriates a fund of $150,000,000 to be used in its admin istration and $10,000,000 for federal purchase and sale at cost of fertilizer.

Congressional leaders understand the president does not intend to com mandeer distilled spirits or to curtail their consumption unless military exigencies require. The so-called Smoot amendment, directing federal purchase of distilled beverages in bond at cost, plus 10 per cent, profit, was eliminated. In lieu of House provisions autho rizing the food administration to fix minimum prices for all necessaries, the law provides that the food ad ministration shall fix a minimum price for wheat alone. Until May 1, 1919, the bill provides that the basic price shall not be less than $2 per bushel, based upon No. 1 spring northern at all primary markets. Sweeping powers to control coal prices are also provided. The bill authorizes the president, through the Federal Trade Commission or other agency, to fix coal and coke prices, at the mines and among wholesalers and retailers, to regulate method of sale, shipment and distribution among dealers and consumers, and to requi requisition sition requisition and operate mines or other coaling facilities. A system of federal licensing of all agencies related to the production, transportation and distribution of the designated necessaries also is provid ed, and rigid provisions against hoarding, speculation and monopoli sation established, under heavy pen alties. Farmers are exempted from the hoarding provisions. May Requisition Necessaries The bill also authorizes the presi dent to requisition, for military or public defense needs, all necessaries named, and to guarantee reasonable prices o producer and consumer, to buy and sell fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans.and potatoes. The bill also au thorizes the president to requisition and operate any factory, packing house, mine or oil pipe line, at just compensation, for military or public defense uses. Regulation of grain and other food foodstuff stuff foodstuff markets, to prevent injurious speculation or undue enhancement of prices, is another- power conferred upon the food administration through the president.. Another clause, inserted by the Senate after much criticism of alleged sale by members of the advisory com commissioners missioners commissioners of their own products to the government; prohibits federal agents from soliciting or inducing contracts with the government in which they are interested. pro mvm i in hi l OCALA EVENING STAR PUBLISHED EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAY IIITTIXGER A CARKOLL, PROPRIETORS 11.

Just slow up and say 'Want a ride?' and see how his face brightens. You will feel the better for his cheery 'Gee, you're a Hie saver. Give orders to vour chauifeur never to pass a walking soldier. Sammy will have his work cut out for him 'over there' fighting for you and me. Let us make it as easy as we can for him here.' "There are countless little ways in which the citizen can help along the soluiei and make him feel that the heart of Tampa is with him.

Trapped by Girls By OSCAR COX Hlggins was his name, but his pseu pseudonym donym pseudonym was Courtney Sinclair. He lived with his mother in a small subur suburban ban suburban house, had his study on the second floor, overlooking trees, shrubs and flowers, and while composing was not to be Interrupted. One morning he was writing a story on a theme with which he was very much pleased. His hero was a woman hater, but so fascinating that he was besieged by girls who were bent on marrying him. The body of the 6tory consisted of ingenious devices of the maidens to get at him and bis ingenious methods for preventing them from do doing ing doing so. This hero lady killer shut himself up in a tower, living at the top. What ever he required was drawn up by him in a basket attached to a rope. If a man called on him he would throw out a key to a door below. A girl hidden in a box of provisions on one occasion got into the basket and was drawn up to the top, but before being taken in the lady killer saw her. He let go the rope, and she was killed by tho fall Hlggins" mother had gone away on a visit and left him alone in the house. About 11 o'clock, when he was en engrossed grossed engrossed with his story, there came a ring at the doorbell When Mrs. Hlg gins was not at home he usually an answered swered answered such summonses and now rose from his desk to reply to this one. Descending the stairs, he saw through the glass of the front door several girls without "They're after subscriptions to some war loan," said the author to himself. 'Til not admit them." Turning, he went back to bis desk by the window and continued his story about the lady killer in the tower. He had scarcely written a line when there was another ring at the doorbell. He Ignored it. Another ring. He ignored that too. The bell kept on ringing, and the author kept on writing. "Those girls are mighty persistent," he said to himself. "If I should let them In they'd stick me for a big Red Cross or war subscription of some kind. But they don't get in; not if I know myself." The ringing was succeeded by a knocking. Higgins smiled. "Just you continue your efforts, my dears," he said to the girls separated from him by walls and doors. "Maybe some one will hear you by and by." The ringing and the knocking con tinued. Higgins laid down his pen. "I wonder why they keep Tip this ef fort to get in when It must be evident to them that there is no one in the house," he said. "Usually persons who have rung several times at a doorbell and get no response go away. These girls cannot have seen me. If they had I would not be surprised at their persistence. I think I'll do a bit of reconnoitering." He went to the landing, from which he looked down upon the front door. The glass was covered by a lace shade, but through it he could see the girls. They were dressed in the height of fashion, and so far as he could judge none of them was ill favored. "They are either after a subscription to the liberty loan," he said to himself, "or the widows and orphans', fund or some other matter involving money. What would I do to protect myself against three girls, quite likely from among the elite of the town, if I should face them alone and unprotected? wish mother was here. They've got me penned in." He had no confidence in being able to stand off a lot of girls who were de determined termined determined to get at him. It was all very well to write a story about woman hating lady killer who prevent prevented ed prevented women from. reaching him. That was fiction. This was the real thing. He could invent no end of contrivances by which his hero might effect an es cape, but here he was corralled and not a single plan for avoiding these girls at his own door occurred to him. He determined to return to his study, pay no attention to the rings and knocks and go on with his story. He was writing glibly about his he ro's escape from a woman, his inven tive faculties being in excellent condi tion, when he heard from out the win dow beside which he sat these words spoken' in a melodious feminine voice: "We are taking the census. Are there any men in this house between the, ages of twenty -one and thirty oner Higgins looked aside, and there in the branches of a tree growing not twenty feet from him was a girl look tng straight at him. The hypothesis of a subscription tumbled before the certainty of the draft He had forgotten that the gov ernment was intending to capture vounz men to enter the great war. If he had remembered it he certainly bad never dreamed that a bevy of prstty girls would be employed to take the census of eligibles. "I am a resident of this house, and am twenty-eight years old, said Hig gins, with a sigh. "Your name, please." "Elijah Higgins." "Thank you. Help me down, girls. Higgins sat meditating. "It's mean enough," he said, "to send men to a foreign country to die In the trenches. bnt to trap him with girls is contempt ible." The story of the woman hater lady killer was never finished. The manu manuscript script manuscript so far as written went into the fire. Higgins was drafted and went to the war.

HOW To Tell an Officer of Our Army From & Private A MILITARY mau can tell at a glance a soldiers rank, and It will surely interest the layman to know just bow he can read the sol- dier's rank and arm of service by a glance at the lesprinss or cap or coat sleeve. Take, for instance, the cord on the hat. If it's a plain blue cord it be belongs longs belongs to an infantry soldier; if it's red the wearer belongs to the artillery and if yellow to the cavalry. The hat cord worn by an oiSicer is of black and gold with two little jrold acorns. When, caps uro worn the soldier's cap is the same shape as the officer's, but it is minus the braid and bears in front the crossed arms of his service and the reginiental number. The offi officer's cer's officer's cap has a band of braid and a coat of arms indicative of the state. Regular officers have the United States coat of arms. The eolkirs of the coat also tell their tale to the experienced eye. The sol soldier's dier's soldier's collar has a disk of bronze with the 'name .of his state; if a regular it has "U. On the other side of the collar another disk gives his regiment, company and arm of service. The offi officer's cer's officer's collar has no disks. It tells his state, arm of service and regiment. If a regular officer the state is omitted and the symbol "U. S." is used. The arm of service is indicated by crossed rifles for infantry, crossed sabers for cavalry and Crossed cannons for artil lery. First lieutenant-has a silver bar and if a captain two bars. If a coat sleeve has two rows of stitching and nothing else the wearer Is a private. That of the officer is dis distinguished tinguished distinguished by a row of brown braid. The overcoat of a private or non commissioned man simply has a. cuff or else a strap of cloth, which buttons the sleeve tight around the wrist. But the sleeve of the officer's overcoat is cuffless. If it is perfectly plain with out braid the wearer is a second lieu tenant. A soutache of one row indi cates a first' lieutenant; two rows, a captain; three rows, a major; four rows, "a lieutenant colonel; five rows, a colonel. If general officers the stripes are broad, black and horizontal Even the buttons at the back of an overcoat wilr tell you at a glance whether the wearer is an officer or oth erwise. "If the two buttons are bone it is the coat of an officer. If they are bronze and have the coat of arms of the United States it proclaims the wearer to be an enlisted man. The leggings of a soldier and those of an officer are also different. Those of the former are olive drab canvas with lacings, while those of the latter are of leather. AUTO NOTES. How the Autoist Should Care For Rubber Tubes. It is difficult sometimes to determine just when a tube is unfit for furthei use. Porosity in a tube usually indi indicates cates indicates that it has attained its three score and ten. At this stage very small cracks can be observed in the rubber if it is stretched and examined carefully. The next development is splitting when the air pressure be becomes comes becomes too great for the tule to bear. If the rubber in a tube is "live" it may successfully bear as many patches as a beggar's coat. But due care must be exercised in the vulcanization of the patch to the tube that too large a portion of the tube around the patch is not cured. If jMirttons of the tube ?':tw been overcured in patching oier oier-aious aious oier-aious disaster is sure to follow. Lack of proper care of the tube is i-espuusihJ' for most of the troubles iire r.sers experience. Sufficient talc between casing and tube prevents the generation of heat, which vulcanizes the tube to the fabric of the casing. Tube splitting is occasioned by the slipping of the tube letween the casing and the rim, which soon results in a "pinch." The remedy is careful apply applying. ing. applying. The protection of spare tubes Is a matter that many tire users pass over too lightly. Usually spare tubes are folded and carried in the tool box. where they may'come in contact with grease, oil smil tools. The grease and oil greatly impair the quality of the rubber, while the tools many times cause the tubes to become chafed :ind T urn and unfit for use. W. K. Lane, an.

The Phil- OS t adelphsa board of health has is- J sued a bulletin telling how bay & fever may be i -re vented as fol- i? lows: i Beginning like an ordinary cold JS attended with blocked nasal pas- & H sages and characterized by par- oxysms of sneezing, the disease SI may at first attract little atten- j tion, especially among children S flf when it Is often mistaken for the X Ji? usual cold. Unlike the latter Jit condition, however, the nasal dis- 2 B charges usually remain thin ad J watery and become thickened JSf only toward the termination of the disease. Cough is a com- V mon symptom, while asthmatic attacks may often occur. These X t symptoms are very depressing to $? t patients, who often become very J & low spirited. f Kr The disease was first described in the early part of the nine- JH & teenth century, when it was !S & termed autumn catarrh, since it occurred chiefly in the late sum- Ml mer and early fall. There is a J i type of the disease which is also prevalent in the spring, while in & the southern states the affection i V occurs all the year round. ti The disease is caused by the iSf action of pollen of certain plants JSf ft which Is carried by the winds J5 t and finds lodgment in the nos- J5f trils of iersons who are particu- 13? J3? larly sensitive to this affection. H The plant which is the chief of- ii? J3f fender in many places is the com- 13? HI mon ragweed. This weed, which 9? J3? grows to the height of one to five 13? i3f feet and blooms from August to tt? M? October or later, can bo found on 13? 8? almost every vacant lot and neg- 13? J3? lected field, on the roadsides 13? 131 and in uncultivated gardens and H? 13? lawns. Its pollen is abundant 13? 13? and is readily distributed by the 13? )3? wind. From a public health it? 13? standpoint, therefore, such nox- 13? 13? lous weeds are a nuisance and a M? 13? menace. Only recently rhiladel- 13? 13? phia approved the following nil- 13? ? ing of the board of health which IS? IS? appertains to this very subject: 13? 13? "Weeds, noxious and poisonous 13? 13? plants, docks, tall grass and oth- 13? 13? er offensive vegetable .growths 13? 13? shall not. be permitted to attain IS? 13? a height of more than one foot IS? 13? on grounds surrounding dwell- 13? 13? ings, two family dwellings, room- 13? IS? tag houses, tenement houses or IS? 13? unimproved or unoccupied lands 13? 131 in any portion of the city of Phil- 13? 13? adlephia laid out in city blocks', 13? 13? provided that this regulation 13? 13? shall not apply to lands under 13? 13? cultivation with growing crops." 13? 13? The best method of eradicating 13? IS? hay fever weeds is the cultiva- 13? 13? tion of neglected grounds, but 13? 13? where this is not feasible the 13? 13? dangerous weeds should be up- 13? 13? rooted or cut down before the 13? 13? flowering stage. This prevents 13? 13? the formation of pollen and the 13? 13? production of the seeds. 13? 13? '' ft i3?i3?113?i3?13?13?13?i3?13?13?l3?l3?)3f)3?13?)3?)3? SAVING GASOLINE. How Autoists Can Economize on Their Fuel. A writer in the Farm and Fireside says: "Since the high cost of living has be begun gun begun seriously to include the price of gasoline I have been seeking to devise ways and means by which a greater mileage can be obtained. A few of my experiments have proved so successful that I will give them for the benefit of other motorists. .'Tf one will remember to leave the cut-out open when coasting along un undulating dulating undulating country roads the engine may be cut off completely without fear of bursting the muffler. The slight exer exertion tion exertion of energy necessary to throw the switch off and on will, In a day's run running, ning, running, save a considerable amount of fuel. "Driving on pavement and city streets one can also be economical by shutting off the engine half a block or more before the stopping place is reach reached. ed. reached. It Is quite unnecessary and harm ful as well to tax the motor with gas, only to jam on the brakes at the curb a moment later. The-natural impetus of the car will carry it much farther than one realizes. "A strong spark may be employed to strengthen the motive power of the gasoline. Inexperienced drivers too often leave their spark lever below its point of highest efficiency, thereby over overheating heating overheating the motor and reducing tha speed value of the open throttle. "Through these and similar simple devices I am getting an average of six sixteen teen sixteen miles to the gallon." Hew to Label Your Poison Bottle Reel Reel-!y !y Reel-!y Effectively. Every once in awhile we read or hear of somebody who took ; poison acci accidentally, dentally, accidentally, mistaking the contents of the bottle for some harmless remedy. In a recent issue of the Popular Science Monthly there is described a method, simple and practical, to safeguard such mishaps. A thin glass tule with a cork at the end is inserted in the neck of the bottle, and the usual cork is bored to admit the passage of the other end of the tube. The tube there therefore fore therefore has a cork at either end. When the cork that closes the bottle Is with withdrawn drawn withdrawn it forces the tube with the oth other er other cork upward and serves as a warn warning ing warning to stop and examine the contents, and if there Is an attempt to draw liquids from the lnit!e the lower cork will drop into the neck of the bottle and prevent it. When the coutents of the bottle are to be used purposely the tube is pushed inward, thus forcing the crk up out of the way.
