SOME PLAIN BUT NEEDED WORDS Senator Overman, of North Carolina, in charge of the bill to jrive the President authority to re-organize government departments, did som . verv plain, but needed talking to Set -! j aiors when putting his bill through. j Senator Hoke Smith, of tieorjri . j had asked if Senators were obliged . to trust the President with the Fed oral Reserve Board and the InterState Commerce Commission. Sen:-.- = tor Overman replied: "NorSenators do not trust him, l>ut the people of the United States have implicit trust in Wood row Wilson. ' You may get up on the floor and denounce him and denounce the mistakes of the administration, hut it ' goes into deaf ears,because the people v" of this country know him, they know his patriotism, they know he is trying to do right, and when he asks this authority from Congress they know you ought to give it to him. They are standing behind him, and the Senate is going to stand behind him." Notwithstanding the variou amendments offered to the bill it wa passed without change and as proposed by North Carolina's able Senator. I On the final passage only one Democrat mustered sufficient courage to v vote against the bill. That vote was cast by Senator Reed of Missouri, l.iko the typical Missourian, he "wanted to be shown" and as there ( were only twelve Republicans voting ^ as did Senator Reed, making an un- ' lucky thirteen, Mr. Reed got his ^ showing and that is all he did get. Even the two Georgia Senator.who opposed the bill, voted for it or: the final passage, Senators Smith and Hardwick coming across reluctantly, t but coming all the same. , A BRAVE AND HONEST < REPUBLICAN In tVw> in r.vn.,,.f ' the Naval appropriation bill, in which J the Navy Yard at Charleston, came ( in for an appropriation, there was ^ some opposition based upon section r.lisni rather than patriotism. The idea of expending four or five million dollars on a Southern Navy Yard and harbor gave some of the Northern republicans a pain. Among others who vere disturbed because this amoun. ' of money was going South was Mr. Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt. Replying to some objections of the , Ohio Congressman, Hon. Richard W. Austin, of Tennessee, administere i this apt and timely rebuke: "I have not jought to consume any . of the valuable time of this House in , a discussion of the provisions of the pending bill, but I wish now to earn- j estly appeal to every member on both mIus of the Mouse to bear in ii in.I the far-reaching importance of ii ?me?i;ate and favorable act'on upon everyone of these w.\" measure" , Such a tourse upon our part will have a splendid effect throughout America, and it will reach beyond the / seas. If there ever was a time since . the declaration of war when all the < American people, led by the exam- i pie of their chosen Representatives / in Congress, should hurry, shou'd . speed up, that time is now of all , times. I "I will not, during the period of the , war, in a public manner seek to embarrass or to criticize the war admin- j istration while our boys are on the battle line fighting the Kaiser." It affords The Advertiser great ( pleasure to give credit to Congress- |; man Austin for these patriotic utter anees in the halls of Congress as the ! editor of this paper spent the earlier years of his life in Knoxville, then and now the home of the Tennessee Congressman. Would that not only "the Colonel's" son-in-law, but olher Republi pfine f.-ll nnuiu luiiuw mi* patriotic example of the able Tennessee C mgrcssman.

I It is usually easier to ask questions ' than to answer them, as every father of a small boy knows However, if questioners will ask only about. things and not about beliefs their questions will be answered as far as possible. Send questions to Question Department, The Advertiser, Chesterfield, S. C. A says that men are the only animals that can use tools. B says the ; lower animals can be taught to use tools. Who is right? B is right. The chimpanzee in a state of nature, according to Darwin, crack nuts with a stone. Monkeys have been taught to open boxes with sticks and generally to use sticks as levers. Why do we call one-third of a yard a foot? We inherited the foot measure from the English. The ancient forefathers of the human race, it seems, . were not a very careful people. They ' were satisfied to measure with their ^ feet, although all human feet were not of one lenyth then any more 1 :han now. King Henry I tried to standardize measurements by pro1 claiming that the yard measure 1 should be the length of his own arm nd that the foot should be one' hird of that length. That helped i little; but the English system of 1 measurements is very poor compared j | o the modern French metric system.

Explain New Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers?Insures Greater Food Saving. Orocers of the nation have accepted ent liusiustlcally the &0-.r*0 basis for the purchase of wheat hour ntid are dolug their utmost to explain the uew regulation to the housewife. This ruling by the U. S. Food Admlnlstration requires each purchaser of wheat Hour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour. It wns necessary to re strict the use of wlicut Hour In order that the allies and our lighting forces abroad might be assured of an adequate supply of wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we have al- m ready sent our normal surplus. Wheat saving pledge cards were for warded hy thp Food Administration to ull retail food merchants, and these i are being signed and posted In stores throughout the country. This card :| sinios, ->ve pledge ourselves loyally to &] carry out the Food Administration pro- : /] grurn. In accordance with litis order we will not sell any wheat llour except where the purchaser buys an equal weight of one or more of the following, a greater use of which In the home | > will save wheat: "Cornmeal, rorn flour, edlhle corn ' ; starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour. IKitato Hour, sweet potato Hour, soy hean flour, feterlta flour and meals. lice, rice Hour, oatmeal, rolled oats and i buckwheat flour." Some confusion hns resulted on the part of the consumer In construing , this "fl0-.r?0" ruling to mean that an j equal umount In value of substitutes must he purchased with wheat flour. < This Is a mistaken Iden. The ruling states thnt the consumer In purchasing j flour shall "buy ut the same time an , equul weight of other cereals." i One exception to this ruling Is con- j renting graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio I of three pounds to Ave pounds of 1 wheni flour. This provision Is innde because approximately per cent. \ more of the wheat berry is used In the 1 manufacture of these flours then standard wheat flour. Another exception Is that concerning mixed flours containing less than ; M) per cent, of wheat flour, which may J he sold without substitutes. Retailors, however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more than f>0 per i cent, of wheat flour to any person un- ; less the amount of wheat flour suhstl tutos sold Is sufllclent to make the to 1 tul amount of substitutes. Including those mixed In flours, equal to the total amount In wheat flour In the mixed flour. For Instance. If any mixed Hour Is purchased containing (U) per cent . wheat flour ami 10 per cent, suhstl- "jl tutes It Is necessary that an additional 20 per cent, of substitutes he pur I chased. This brings It to the basis of I one pound of substitutes for eueh j pound of wheat flour. A special exemption may he granted I ! upon application In the case of special j I lv nriMiared infants' and Invalids' fond i containing flour where the necessity la ' shown. I Some misunderstanding seems to ex I lat on the pnrt of consumers In nssum j Ing that with the purchase of wheat j flour one must confine the additional ( 50 per cent, purchase to one of the I substitutes. This Is not the case. One j may select from the entire range of substitutes a sufficient amount of each I to bring the tofnl weight of all suhstl- I tutcs equal to the weight of the wheat j flour purchased. For Instance, If a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour I Is made a range of substitutes may be I selected as follows: j Comment, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2 I pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hoinlny, j 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds. i These substitutes may he used In the following manner: | Comment. 8 Founds.?Cornhrend.no j flour; corn muffins or spoon bread, , one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hominy; 20 per cent. suhstl- J tufes In whole bread. { forti Starch, I Pound.?Thickening t gravy, making custard, one-third sub- ' sfltute In cake.
