Food Control Corner
The Canada Food Board is receiving
a great number of emluiries relative
to the food regulations applying to
picnics, garden parties, lawn socials,
etc, Special permits to serve food
contrary to the regulations are being
asked for, but such permits will not
be given. Mr. Henry 11, Thomson,
Chairman of the Food Bonne states
that enactment of the regulations was
Prompted by the need of saving wheat,
meat, fats, and sugar, and that any
little discomfort to which the picnieer,
or other person patronizieg a function
of this kind, may be put., is negligible
in the face of the Stern •necessity of
war conditions,
"Observance of the food regulations
at private and public functions gener-
ally has a value infinitely greater than
the worth of the food saved," Mr.
Thomson adds, "Waste is indefensible,
not only because of the loss of food
directly involved; the weakening of
the good intentions cif personas who see

aspect of the matter. Surety if we

DISCIPLINE IN GERMANY.
A Real System of Caste .Exists in the
German Empire.
From the time when he, is four
years old, says former Ambassador
Gerard in lely Four Years in Germany,
the German is disciplined and taught
that his government is the only good
and effective form, The teachers in
the schools are all paid by the gov-
ernment, and they teach the children
only the principles that the rulers of
the German people desire. There are
no Saturday holidays in the German
schools, and the summer holidays last
only three to five weeks.
You never see groups of small boys
playing alone in Germany. Their
games and their walks are superin-
tended by their teachers, who are al-
ways inculcating in them reverence
and awe for the military heroes of the
past and the present. On Saturday
night the German boy is turned over
by the state -paid school -teacher to
the state -paid pastor, who adds divine
authority to the principles of rever-
ence for the German system.
There is a real system of caste in
Germany. For example, I was play-
ing tennis one day with a man and,
dressing afterwards, I asked frim what
he was. He answered that he was a
kaufmann, or merchant, For the Ger-
man this answer was enough. It
placed him in the merchant class. I
asked him what sort of a kaufmann
he was. He then told me he was pre-
sident of a large electrieal company.
Of course with us he would have an-
swered first that he was president of
the electrical company, but, being a
German, he merely disclosed his mete
