THERE is every possibility that I Canada will beplaced on fuel rations next winter. No action will he taken until the cold weather arrives and the fuel controller can size up the exact situation; but, despite his every effort to secure an adequate supply for the coming winter, there is likely to be $hortaee, which, if there is another winter as severe as last, will be seri- ;lug unless the country Is put cot rt. Bons and the supply available IS equitably divided up, Faetern Canada, and particularly Onterin and Quebec, is practically de- pendent upon the United States for Its coal sueplv. The United States is hay - !az sertone difficulty securing a suf- ficient supply for itself, and the Cana- dian allotment has been cut down by WeJeinetort 20 per cent, In doing this Wa$Ot •'ort has been very fair to Can- ada, as ate allotment of many states has been cut down more than 20 per cent end at present no anthracite coal 14 being shipped west of Buffalo, end it is announeed that littie or no coal for domestic use will be sent to the Western States. Causes of Difficulties The American difficulties arise from three causes: First -owing to the United States belie in the war there is a tremendous increase in the demand for coal for munition manufacturers The New Eneland States alone are asking for industrial purposes for this year an increase of fifty million tons of bitum- nous coal over the normal supply. Second - Shortage of labor in American mines. The demand for the army have taker many American miners, while there is a general labor shortage in the whole of the United States. The result is that the output is below expectations It is estimated that twelve million tone a week are needed to meet the requirments of th $ North American Continent. The bed the mines have done this year is to produce in one week eleven and a half million tons A meeting of the mine owners and labor unions is being bald this week at Washington with a view to speeding up production and reaching the twelve million mark fveekly. -Third-Railway transportation dif- ficulties. 'rhe .American transportation system has wthout doubt failed to meet the situation which has develop- ed since the United States has enter- ed the war. Most of the coal shortage difficulties last year were due to lack of transportation facilities, and while strenuous efforts have been made to place the railroads on a war footing it Is a question whether they have caught up sufficently in equipment to come properly with the situation, Cut of 20 per. Cent. Last year 'Canada imported from the United States about Eve and a half million tons of anthracite for domestic purposes. The American authorities have cut this list down about twenty per cent., so that we cannot expect to get More than four and a half million tons. There is a possibility the Am- ericans will be unable to even supply this amount, although up to the pres- ent coal has been moving in satisfac- tory quantities Into Canada. Owing to the difficulties of the United States and their decision to cut down Can- ada's allotment and not to send coal into the Western States the Canadian Fuel Controller could do nothing but agree to Washington's claim that Western Canada should be self de- pendent this winter, and should se- cure its supply from its own western mines. It was felt that if this was done it would probably give Ontario and Quebec sufficient coal with the in- creased use of wood as a supplemen- tary fuel. Attitude in Manitoba. However, Manitoba, and particular- ly the city of Winnipeg, which has been accustomed for years to burn Pennsylvania anthracite, objected strenuously, to this decision, and claimed it was only made in the in- terests of the Alberta coal owners. They asserted that Alberta could not supply the coal needed, and that the Alberta coal was of an inferior grade and not suitable to meet Winnipeg requirements. The Alberta coalmen, who were naturally interested, re- plied by claiming that they could supply all the wants of Western Can- ada, if orders were only placed in time, asserting that they had business en- ough only to keep their men working part of every month. They also point- ed out that Calgary, Edmonton, and adjacent towns and cities, in a cli- mate as severe as Manitoba have suc- ceeded in keeping warm on Alberta coal. Winnipeg and Manitoba have been sib slow in accepting- the situation that the Fuel Controller as well as the railways have been compelled to make urgent appeals to the residents to place their orders, Requires Attention Now. It is pointed out that at the pres- ent time the railroads are in a posi- ton to move coal from Alberta, but that when the grain movement starts every possible car will be needed for grain shipments to the Atlantic seaboard, and that after September 15(11 coal shipments will be extremely difficult, A vigorous ade vertiSing campaign has been Com- menced to awaken the people on the praries as to the seriousness of the Situation and the danger they may be In of freezing to death this winter J.

Despite all this a Winnipeg deputa- tion has been appointed to go to Vv'ashinetttn and interview the au- thorities there with a view to secure a supply or anthracite coal. It is taken for granted here that they will get a ceol reception. However. the Fuel Controller has arranged for a certain amount of anthracite to go West, but regulations are being framed which es ill allow no one to secure anthracite coal until he has In his cellar Alberta coal amounting to half his requirements. CANADA GOES ON WAR BREAD CORN, OATS, BARLEY, RICE, POTA- TOES, ETC., MUST BE MIXED WITH WI -HTE OR STANDARD FLOUR -1 POUND TO NINE TILL JULY 15, THEN ONE FOUND TO FOUR. Ottawa, June 2;;^-Comptilgory use by bakers, confectioners, public eating houses and private households of sub- stitutes for wheat flour are prescribed in an order issued today by the Canada food board. In making this measure public, Mr, Thomson emphasized the absolute ne- eessitv for conserving our stock of wheat, in order that we may share it with our allies, especially during the next fess months, when their food situation will be extremely difficult The order defines as substitutes for wheat flour "pure and wholesome, oats. barleycorn,rice rye buckwheat, tapioca or potato flour ; bran, shorts, oatmeal, rolled oats, et trnmeal cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, rye meal, or any mixture of same end potatoes." Four pounds of potatoes will be considered equivalent to one pound of the other substitutes. In Effect July 1 The order provides that on and after July 1, bakers, confectioners and public -eating places, in making any bakery produets in which the use of substitutes in certain definite proportions is not prescribed by pre- vious orders of the food board, must useepne pound of substitutes to every nine pounds of standard wheat flour. Similarly, persons baking for priv- ate consumption any product in which white or standard flour is used, must use not less than one pound of sub- stitutes to every nine pounds of white or standard wheat flour, On and after July 15, this propor- tion, so far as places east of Port Arthur are concerned, must be increas- ed to one pound of substitutes to every four pounds of white or stand- ard flour, The quantities of substitutes a- vailable west of Port Arthur are at present too uncertain to allow a date being named fur an increase equal to' that required for Eastern Canada, but such increase will be made just as soon as the available stlIVIY of sub- stitutes in Western 'Canada warrants. On and after July 15 no licensed dealer may legally have in his possess- ion for sale any wheat or standard flour, unless he also has at all times a sufficient stock of substitutes to meet the demands of his customers at reasonable prices. Labelled "Victory Bread" On and after July 15 every baker must place on each loaf of bread a label or sticker bearing his name and address and the words "Victory, Bread." The latter explanation will be a guarantee that the prescribed a- mount of substitute for standard wheat flour required by the Canada Food board has been used in making the loaf. Bread whielt does not bear such label or sticker may be seized and for- feited to hie, majesty. The order makes it an offence for ; • , .011 eosso.sion atty Tread lulls pastry, or any other product in which white or standard wheat flour is used, which does not conform to the requirements of the food board. The penalty for violation of the new regulation is a tine of not less than Ietou and up tv, 4.1,000, of imprieunment for a period of three months or both fine Ind Mi.. diem -dela LICENSES FOR PICNICS ARE NOT REQUIRED Information has been received by local people from the Canada Food Board that licenses are not required to hold picnics, lawn socials, fair ex- hibitions, tea meetings etc. This will clear up a lot of misunderstanding as many organizations had put off Pielliss and other social affairs because of the trouble anticipated In getting the licen- ses. The letter received here about the matter points out, however, that the restrictions in regard to food served must be observed, as these affairs now COMil under the control of the Canada Food Board. POLE RECEIVE NEW FOOD 0 CRS Apply to All Who Serve Others Than Family. -To be Enforced Soon. - Hours of Different Meals Have Been Set. Recent regulations issued by the Canada Neel Board, automatically cancelling all former restrictions on meals to be served at public eating houses, and including in the list of places where meals are served, a much wider field have been received by Chief of Police Wheatley and will go into effect shortly. While provision has been made for extending over a wider score to in- clude private hoarding houses, picnics, lodge dinners and similar social events, some amendments have been made and will shortly be published in The Canada (Lizette, which are more lenient re- earding the restrictions on the serving of meats. Nu change has been made in the regulations governing the quan- tity of bread and wheat products to he served, Those Included By the order received by Chief Wheatley, in addition to the public eating houses formerly affected by orders of the Canada Food Board, in the future all edicts issued will apply tit club -rooms, private families where boarders are kept, all boarding houses and schools and all individual members of the family are served frith meals. 1.T; hereat ail parts of pork carcasses were on the prohibited list under order 25, in future several different cuts will be exempted, including tenderloins and spareribs, as cut by the packers, Beef and veal stews, made of chucks, briskets, plates, flanks and leftovers, may now be serv- ed at any midday meal. iv.kiiCii\i'%; HAI a votis clod ! our help in days gone by, To Thee lie lift our anxious cry ; The cause te right we would main 1,1137 lat Ciod bead . forth 1 ty And 11111 110814 kV,. 11,1111 A,1,011 A;CVii;; 1%1 ibtn lit. t11111 11607' Upon the waters round our -coast, Brave sailors wait the try:Lilt's boast Undaunted, resolute, they • Stand, TAI guard the shores of our. dear land (lux father's God We turn to Thee, Keep those • in reril on the sea In critt qi,Iact.:e homes -our British The empty chair speaks WIWI dark For siadcll'ing, watchful hearts - are there, Who lilt to Thee one common prayer ; our father's God I Be swift to bless The hearts bowed down with deep The doir'trle:s: pins ery-t h e widow's n Are liiii(:$11 s1-1te Thee, and Thee alone ; Thy whispered peace. oh give to such, And let them know Thy !oying touch Our father's God f In pity keep 'file souls who now in anguish weep ?slake every heart both true and strong.

Welland has persistently refttsed to divulge the name of the writer of the article in spite of the ruling of the court upon this point in the libel suit. Until Welland does as the court orders he cannot obtain his freedom. He must pay the costs of this part of the libel action. His solicitor de- clared that he had no money, which presented a further obstacle. Mr, Justice Rose refused to make ' the order requested, and he left the problem as it was presented to his , court.

We have less cheese, eggs, pork products and fowl than a elver ago. The most striking comparison is in the case of beef of which we have 11.72 per cent. more than on June lot;. Since the Purchasing Cemmisson of the Allies, is fully aware of this fact, and we have the statement of these gentle- men to the effect that a large pro- portion of this stock is already under contract to them, we find no grounds I'm- any charge Of hoarding, The most striking feature recently in the market situation of storage ; products has been the great rise in the price of beef. There has been a general rise in all beef products . throughout the Dominion, but the West, starting from Port Arthur and Fort has suffered the worst Naturally the consuming public has ' resented the rise very much. The matter has been carefully in- vestigated with the view to detecting protiteering, and while the merchantse in some localities have apparently used the general rise in prices to cover an undue increase, we have not been able to tind any evdence that the general in- crease throughout the country was due to unlawful action on the part of the meat packers. The increase Is general throughout the whole of North America and is fully as marked In the case of live cattle as in the case of meat.
