no opposition worth speaking of.

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,

agencies, to accept services of any
person, without compensation, to co cooperate

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

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

the government; prohibits federal
agents from soliciting or inducing

GIVE THEM A LIFT
The following from the Tampa Tri Tribune
bune Tribune is applicable in Ocala and every
other town where soldiers are en encamped:
camped: encamped: "Isobel Field, of the Vigilantes,
gives tne ioiiowing hint to automo-
blists, which is especially applicable
to Tampa at this time. She says:
" 'Give the soldiers a lift. If you
have an extra seat in your automo
bile as you go flying over the country
these hot summer days don't let a
passing soldier trudge miles on his
way. it s little enough to do for one
who is giving his life to his country
Don't wait for him to ask. 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. He is
going to do a great deal for us for
every man, woman ard child of us
and we can't do too much for him."

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

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

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

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

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.

Whatever
Whatever turn the path may take to
left or right,
I think it follows
The tracing of a wiser hand through
dark
Across the hills, and in the shady
hollows.
I only know that every day brings
good above,
My poor deserving;
I only feel that on the road of life
true love
Is leading me along and never
swerving.
Whatever gifts the hours bestow, or
great or small,
I would not measure
As worth a certain price in praise,
but take them all
And use them all with simple heart heartfelt
felt heartfelt pleasure.

thought best conducive to their future
welfare.
The old lady had recently added a
phonograph to her establishment, and
when she heard that earl that morn morning

her a record of trer favorite cornet solo
she was delighted.
"How nice of him!" she said. "Can
I hear If"
"Well," said her niece, "we haven't
tried it yet, but I'll put it on It was
a pronounced success, and the old lady
was charmed.
But her feelings changed when after
the solo was finished the instrument

A neighbor of mine recently bought a
setter dog. I mention a "dog" because
you may otherwise think I.iefer to Co Cochin
chin Cochin China or Plymouth Rotk. Well,
he thought he was getting just a plain
everyday setter, but tbe dog turned out
to be a retriever of great value as well.
Last wash day he retrieved from a
neighbor's line a set of army blankets
and a pair of silk hoe of a total value
of about $10. If he holds up to this
record he will prove a bargain to his
master, for, besides being a faultless
setter and retriever, he gives signs of
becoming a professional kleptomaniac.

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

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

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

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.

T TO W TO AVOID HAY &
& Xl FEVER BY CUT- 8f
TiXG WEEDS. 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?

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

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

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

Hew to Label Your Poison Bottle Reel Reel-!y

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.
