Shortage of Foodstuffs Being Felt in Germany
BERLIN, Oct. 23—The gradual decrease in the food sup
ply of the German nation lias caused the federal government t
at last take over and lVgulate the foodstuffs. In an imperia
decree just issued the Kaiser says that hereafter tin* food sup
plies of the empire, of all kinds, will be taken over by the gov
eminent, and sold to the people at prices regulated by tli
State. Heretofore the provincial authorities have been liandl
ing th«> food situation but enough stringency in the matter o
regulating the consumption has not been exercised, and th
supply has been decreasing so fast that the federal authoritie
felt that intervention was necessary. For two lays each wee]
tip' Sale of dishes in restaurants and hotels containing meat ha
nedn prohibited.

FINDS CONSOLATION
IN WRITING POETRY
Oustav Prlessner, druggist at Mc
Carthy, who was recently held to
nwalt the action of the district court
at Seward next week, for selling liquor
without a license, has evidently direct
ed his attention to grinding out
poetry, as the following effusion re
ceived by the Daily Times from him
would seem to indicate;
THE PLIGHT OF THE DRUGGIST
There is a law for this and that.
The man in business sighed;
It keeks me guessing where I am at,
And how my hands are tied.
My great concern today is not
That I may shortly fail.
I have to give my every thouglii
To keeping out of jail.
For profits that may comfort me
No longer can I plan;
It's taking all my time to be
A law-abiding man.
Oh sorry is the plight I am in,
1 have no trail to choose.
The court will nab me if I win,
The marshal if I lose.
