given orders to halve her luggage and
the luggage of her maid removed at
once to the Hotel d'Angleterre.
Henri had assured her that if her
rooms were not suitable he would 'turn
the house upside down to`please her.
"No, no," she had answered; "it is
not that. You are very kind, Henri.0

Monte waved the man aside, went
to the telephone, and rang up the

"Non, monsieur," was the response.
"Look here," said Monte sharply.
"Make sure of that. She must have

"We have had no arrivals here with-
in that time except a Mademoiselle
Stockton and her maid."
"Eh?" snapped Monte. "Repeat
that again."
"Mademoiselle Stockton," the clerk
obeyed,
"She signed the register with that

"But yes, If monsieur—!"
"All right; thanks."

Food Control Corner
Wilful waste of any food or feed
products oe wage reetilting eare,
prOd1.222 241 or waste resulting from care-
hieenees or from imperfeet storage
faeilities, has been made illegal and
suleleet to penalties by Order of the
Cad a Food Board. By the term
of this Order, reaponsibility is laid
upon private citizens to see that no
food is lost by being kept too long
or kept in improper conditions, If a
private citizen has reason to believe
that a cold storage warehouse, store,
restaurant or hotel is wasting food In
any way, Ile has now the epgortunity
of making a complaint to the muni-
cipal authorities with the knowledge
that the law is behind him, At a
time like this, when food is so scarce
111 the world 13.11E1 so high in price even
in Canade where comparativ:, abund-
ance ;dill prevaile, it is the poeitive
duty of the private cieleen to upheld
the law against waste and to curry otit
the„ full spirit of the law in hie own
household and in his own daily routine.
In the past it has been the habit of
many people to complain bitterly
about leek of regulations in regard
to wake and to lay responsibility
upon the Dominion Government. The
eonstant remark was "Why does not
! the .Governmept do something?" The
cold storage in some far off city like
!Winnipeg would develop some imper-
fection and some thousands of pounds
of food would be spoiled, then immedi-
ately would arise the question "Why
doesn't the Government do some-
thing?" The fact that local initia-
tive might "do something" VMS 1410W
to occur to many good people. The
new order against waste makes it
abundantly clear that the Government
has "done something." It has, in fact,
done all it could without creating
special and expensive machinery to do
more. It has followed the principle
of local enforcement and the decen-
tralization of authority. It has pro-
vided stiff fines for those who break
the law against waste of food and it
has provided that prosecutions be rine
dertalten by local officers. Thus, if
the municipal health inspector or any
municipal officer discovers waste in a
local cold storage' warehouse, he Itie-s
the charge before a police magistrate
or two justices of the peace and,
securing a conviction, pectins one-
alf the, fine for his municipality
