"Comfort spots" and "cozy corners" tire the by-words of the ninny church orgnnlzathms working to make the
soldiers lighting on the western front more comfortable when they are sent behind the lines to rest up from their
trench duties. Numerous tenls with plenty of nice fuzzy blankets to warm up the troops, and wooden huts have been
set up, to get the men back Into shape and to make them feel at home. These "comfy" spots are situated not a great
distance behind the lines, but they tire not within the rnir,'e of gunfire.

About Two Tons.
Joseph Conrnth makes nnd repnlrs

relates the Indianapolis News. The
government hnd him on Its list as a
manufacturer and sent him one of Its
formal Inquiries as to how much coal
ho use annually. In the proper place
ho wrote down "About two tons." That
Is really more than ho uses, but he dis
liked to put down the exact truth. Ills
manufacturing Is done by hand and
though he has to heat his two rooms
In a Virginia avenue business block,
the floors, ceilings and walls absorb so
much heat from rooms below, above
and back of him that his fuel cost Is

Valuable Oil From Corn.
The latest by-product from corn de
veloped by chemist Is corn oil. Every
bushel of corn used for starch, corn,
sugar and similar products yields one
and one-half pounds of corn oil, which
Is extracted from the germ of the ker
nel, the little triangular pnrt of the
corn which one sees when eating
sweet corn. This germ Is so full of oil
thnt'lts floating properties nre used to

makes up tho kernel Itself, and the
corn oil Is pressed from It. Corn oil Is

a wholesome, appetizing substitute for
high-priced olive oils when refined, and
It is said to he much cleaner than olive
oil. The scarcity of olive oil, due to
the war, has led to a marked Increase
In the use of corn oil In this country
for salad and cooking purposes. Hith
erto most of the corn oil has gone Into
sonp manufacture. Only 15 per cent
of It was refined before the war, and
rather strangely, most of this went
to Europe for salad oil, while Euro
peuns sold us olive oil at several times

FOOD CONTROLLER OF
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.
In his letter to the public on tht,
1st of January, Hon. W. J. Hnnna, Con
ada's Fond Controller, says:
"Authoritative Information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu
rope Is terribly real, und only th
stcrr est resolve on the part of the pro
ducers, nnd equally stern economies on
the part of all as consumers, can pos
sibly save the situation.
"France last year had a crop be
tween onthird and one-half that ot
a normal year. Women did the work of
draught animals In a determined effort
to make the Impoverished soli ,of
France produce every possible ouuc
of food. They now look to us to tnak
tip their deficiency of esseutiul sup
plies. "The harvest In Italy was far below
normal nnd will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest
"It Is Impossible for the allies to
spnre many cargo carriers to trnnsport
foodstuff from India, Australia. New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub
lic. This means that the allied nations
nre practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering Is to be avoided and the fight
ing elllclency of tlio armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United Slates
had not n single bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis of
normal consumption, ami the United
States Food Administration Is endeav
oring to bring about a reduction of 20
per cent In home consumption of wheat
and flour. This would release 100,000,
000 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly live times that
amount before the 1918 harvest.
Canada Is the only country In the
world, practically accessible to the Al
lies under present conditions of ship
ping shortage, which has an nctual ex
portable surplus of wheat lifter allow
ance for normal home requirements.
The surplus today Is not more than
110.noo.000 bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent In our normal consumption
would save an additional 10,000,000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs In Kurope
next year Is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such Is the situation grave beyond
anything that we tliomrht possible a
few months ago. Unless our people
nr aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means to us. to our
soldiers and to our Allies, ami of the
terrible possibilities which it entails,
disaster is Inevitable.
"rroducilon, too, must be Increased
to the greatest possible otent. l'res
ent war conditions demand extraordi
nary efforts, and every man. woman,
boy or girl who can produce food has
a national duty to do so.
"I am confident that when the people
of this country realize that the food
situation Is of utmost gravity they willy
willingly ml just themselves to the ne
cessities of the case and make what
ever sacrifices may be required. The
call which Is made upon them Is tn
the name of the Canadian soldiers at
flic fronr, the allied armies, and the
civilian populations of the allied na
tions who have already made food sac
rifices to an extent little realized by
the people of this country."
Here Is an appeal made by n man,
upon whom rests the great responsibil
ity of assisting In 'providing food for
the allies anil the soldiers at the front,
who nre fighting the battles In mud -nnd
blood. It cannot be Ignored. At
home we are living In luxury and ex
travagance Inclined to Idleness and for
get fulness. This must cense. We must
Pave and produce. Our lands must be
tilled no matter where It may be. In
Canada or the United States. It Is
our duty to cultivate. Splendid oppor
tunities In the United Slates nre open
for further cultivation of lands. West
ern Canada also offers opportunities In
high producing lands nt low prices.
Decide for yourself where you can do
the most good, on land In tlio United
States or In Canada, and get to work
quickly. Advertisement.
Plenty of Water.
Ikey hud lived In a very congested
neighborhood. He had never had any
great fondness for soap nnd water, but
he was n citizen, nt any rate even If
a somewhat unwashed one. And when
the call came for volunteers and still
more volunteers, lkey decided It was
his duty to enlist.
He was questioned nnd examined by
two men nt tho recruiting station, and
then given over to several others, who
gave lkey the bath und scrub of his
lifetime. .
When the process was over he was
told to report the following day und
he would receive his uniform.
"Well, mamma," he said, when ha
went home that evening. "I enlisted."
"Nu! You enlisted, lkey? And vat
did you enlist In?"
"Well, mninmn," Ikey said, "I don't
just know, but I guess it was tho
navy." New York Mull.-
