Doctor of Dental surgery of the Penn. erivania College and Licentiate of Den. tal Surgery °Marl°. Closed eve* Wednesday Afternoon. Office in Macdonald Block, London cable: John R. Clynes, in his first speech as Food Controller in the House of Commons Thursday, dealt mainly with the potato crop. He said the GovernMent would take over the 3918-19 crop from November, and anticipated its ability to stimulate the consumption of potatoes to a greater extent than last year. Tao American trcops 111 Great Britain and France will also be able to receive large (man. Utica of potatoes grown In England. The Food Controller eminms:zed the need of eontinued economy in food, not because there was not sufficient to go around, but because such econ- omy was useful In conserving national enerby and resources, ei3pecially ship. D1ng7and so increasing the number of Allierietin troops brought to Europe. The policy of the allled Food Con- trollers, he declared, was to effect emu - Piet° eo-operation to enable Herbert Itoover,• the American Food Adminis- trator, to carry out his plan to prevent a further rise in peice,e, and eventually to bring about a reduction in prices. Arrangemente have not been eom• pleted, but when completed Mr. Clyne; thonght it would be found that all competition had Wen abolisbed, as Well as an jealonsv and serious rivalry between the allies. Thie would ale° have a tendenev to steady melee and inereace production. W. R. Harnbiky 111.804 M.D., O.M.

O. -Importation by the British of oil for irrigation inceitise,y and provision for transport saved the orange industry of Palestine from dis- aster, accord,ng. to a Cairo despatch to the Times. Similar steps, lt Is staid, ate being 101) - en to help other industries, and a spec- ial organization of the provisional mil- itary admin:stration has been established under Sir Charles Money. This organiz- ation controls all the occupied territory of Palestine. Thete are abundant proofs that It Is getting good results in the country. These results are especially noticable Jerusalem, where normal Iffe has; been resumed and th.. city IA cleaner than it ever has born. /1 is pointed out that Lomple-te confidence exists between the people of every community o.nd the Brit- ish administration, and that the whole population is pro-13ritlidi. The cost of the administration is be- ing niet by Appropriations from army funds, and no taxes have been collected. Cash has been paid for everythirpt tak- en, which is in contrast to German prac- tice in occupied territory. SUICIDE'S BODY FOUND.
