FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANAOA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In-
creased at All Cost.
In his letfor to the public on the
1st of January, Hon. W. J. Iianna, Can-
ada’s Food Controller, says:—
"Authoritative Information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu-
rope is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve on the part of the pro-
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part of all ns consumers, can pos-
sibly save the situation.
“France last year had n crop be-
tween one-third and one-half that of
a normal year. Women did the work of
draught animals In a determined effort
to make the Impoverished soil of
France produce every possible ounce
of food. They now look to us to make
up thetr deficiency of essential sup-
plies.
"The harvest In Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
“It is Impossible for the allies to
spare many onrgo carriers to transport
foodstuff from India, Australia, New
Zealand nnd even the Argentine Repub-
lic. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering Is to be avoided and the fight-
ing eflicleney of the armies maintained.
“On December 1, the United States
had not a slugle bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis ef
normal consumption, nnd the United
States Food Administration Is endeav-
oring to bring about a reduction of 20
per cent In home consumption of wheat
and flour. This would release 100,000,-
000 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly live tlmes^ that
amount before the 1918 hurvest.
Canada Is the only country In the
world, practically accessible to the Al-
lies under present conditions of ship-
ping shortage, which has an actual ex-
portable surplus of wheat after allow-
ance for normal home requirements.
The surplus today is not more than
110,000,000 bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent in our normal consumption
would save un additional 10,01X1,000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs In Europe
next year Is distinctly unfavorable.
“Such Is the situation—grave beyond
anything that we thought possible a
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to n realization of what
the world shortage means to us, to our
soldiers and to our Allies, and of the
terrible possibilities which it entails,
disaster Is inevitable.
‘Troductlou, too, must he Increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres-
ent war conditions demand extraordi-
nary efforts, and every man,, woman,
hoy or girl who can produce food lias
a natloual duty to do so.
“I am confident that when the people
of this country realize that the food
situation Is of utmost gravity they will
willingly adjust themselves to the ne-
cessities of the case nnd make what-
ever sacrifices may be required. The
call which Is made upon them Is In
tho name of the Canadian soldiers at
the front, the allied armies, and the
civilian populations of the allied na-
tions who have alrend.v made food sac-
rifices to un extent little realized by
the people of this country."
Here Is an appeal made by n innn,
upon whom rests the great responsibil-
ity of assisting In providing food for
tho allies nnd the soldiers at the front,
who are fighting the battles In mud
and blood. It cannot be Ignored. At
home we are living In luxury and ex-
travagance Inclined to Idleness and for-
getfulness. This must cease. We must
aave and produce. Our lauds must be
tilled no matter where it may be. In
Canada Or tho United States. It Is
our duty to cultivate. Splendid oppor-
tunities In the United States are open
for further cultivation of lands. West-
ern Canada nlso ofTers opportunities In
high producing lands at low prices.
Decide for yourself where you enn do
the most good, on land In the United
States or In Canada, nnd get to work
quickly.—Advertisement.

CARDUI A
SPLENDID TONIC
For Women, Says Hixson Lady,
Who Took This Medicine On
Her Doctor’s Advice.
Illxson, Tenn.—Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place, makes the following state-
ment regarding her experience with
Cardul: “I was ... I suffered with
a pain In my left side; could not sleep
at night for this pain—always In the
left side. My feet and legs were ter-
ribly swollen. I was almost in bed.
My doctor told me to use Cardul. I
took one bottle, which helped me, and
after my baby came I was stronger and
better, but the pain was still there.
I at first let It go, but I began to get
weak nnd In a run-down condition, so
I decided to try some more Cardul,
which I did. The last Cardul I took
made me much better, and, In fact,
cured me. It has been a number of
years, still I have no i;e|una of this
trouble. I feel It was Cartful that cured
me, and I recommend It as a splendid
female tonic.”
If you feel weak, tired, worn-out, or
suffer'from any of the ailments pecul-
iar to women, try Cardul, the woman’s
tonic. It must be a ’good medicine for
women, for many thousands have vol-
untarily told, Just ns Mrs. Gadd did, of
the good It has done them. Ask some
lady friend who has tried Cardul. She
will tell you how It helped her. Then
get a bottle from your nearest drug-
gist.—Adv.
Not the Same.
A fledgling author at the Century
club In New York drew forth a manu-
script and volunteered to read It to
Robert W. Chambers, the popular
novelist.
“You know how Poe,” the young
.man said, “read his stories to an old
colored mammy, don’t you? He be-
lieved that what pleased the old mam-
my would please the public, and he
killed the scenes the old girl didn’t
like, nnd built up those she did. Well,
Bob, I want—ha, ha, ha—I want to
use you In the same way. Have a
drink and a cigar, nnd then—”
“Excuse me, my boy,” said Mr.
Chambers, ns he rose and took his hat
and stick.
“You don’t happen to be Poe, nnd
therefore I don’t feel called on to be
your old colored mammy.”
Gloomy Anticipation.
“After all, It requires the votes of
men to make woman suffrage possi-
ble.”
“That’s the only thing about It that
worries me,” confided Mr. Meekton.
“If It doesn’t work out comfortably
and satisfactorily, Henrietta is almost
sure to say we men ought to have had
better sense than to vote for it In the
first place.”
DON'T SNIFFLE.

the head by taking Laxative Quinldine
Tablets. Price 25c. Also used In
cases of La Grippe and for severe

“Yes; It’s getting the country Into a

I am Sincere! Stop Calomel!
I Guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone
Listen to me! Calomel sickens and you may lose a
day’s work. If bilious, constipated oe
headachy read my guarantee.
Liven up your sluggish liver I Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of am-
bition. But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel, because it makes you sick
and you may lose a day’s work.
Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes Into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking It up. That’s when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp-
ing.
Listen to me 1 If you want to enjoy
the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced, just
take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's
Liver Tone tonight. Your druggist or
dealer sells you a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone for a few cents under my
personal money-back guarantee that
each spoonful wlll^ clean your sluggish
liver better than a dose of nasty calo-
mel and that It won’t make you sick.
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is real liver
me'diclne. You’ll know It next morn-
ing, because you will wake up feeling
flue, your liver will be working; head-
ache and dizziness gone; stomach will
be sweet and bowels regular.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and can
not salivate. Give It to your children.
Millions of people are using Dodson's
Liver Tone instead of dangerous calo-
mel now. Your druggist will tell you
that the sale of calomel Is almost
stopped entirely here.—Adv.
His Wish About the War.
He Is an old-fashioned man who Is
getting well along in years and he
finds it rather difficult to keep pace
with the rapidly changing phases of
the war situation. He Is loyal, how-
ever, and does Ills best to keep up,
though at times ho fluds himself a
stride or two behind.
The other day the news was broken
to him that because of his Income
from a farm nnd certain other real es-
tate, he probably would have to pay a
small Income tax, under the law relat-
ing to that subject. It was the wife
who first discovered this Interesting
bit of news and after she had read It
to him out of the paper the old man
remarked: “Maw, sometimes I almost
wish this war had never happened."—

Washington Once Drafted.
Even Washington himself was once
drafted Into the service of his country.
It was In 1798, long after the revolu-
tion, nnd after Washington had been
president for two terms, nnd had gone
Into a well-earned retirement at Mt.
Yernon. Frnnce had broken relations
with us, and war Impended. Congress
appointed Washington commander of
the army, nnd the secretary of war,
carrying the commission to him, found
him In the harvest field. When Wash-
ington learned the errand on which his
visitor had come, he said: “I am ready
for any service that I can give my
country.”—Youth’s Companion.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE
It has been fight or die for many of us
In the past and the lucky people are
those who have suffered, but who are now
well because they heeded nature’s warn-
ing signal In time to correct their trou-
ble with that wonderful new discovery
of Dr. Pierce’s called “An-u-rlc.” You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells, backache.
Irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make popsible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as stone In the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi-
tions take plenty of exercise In the open
air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink freely
of water and at each meal take Dr.
Pierce’s Anurlc Tablets (double strength).
You will, In a sort time, find that you
are one of the firm Indorsers of Anurlc,
as are thousands of neighbors.
Step Into the drug store and ask for
a 60c package of Anurlc. or send Dr. V.
M. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y., lOo for trial
pkg. Anurlc, many times more potent
than Uthla, eliminates urlo acid as hot
water melts sugar. '
IT’S THE SAME
STORY EVERYWHERE
Pryor, Okln.—“Both my husband nnd
myself have used the Anurlc Tablets
for kidney trouble and rheumatism.
We have used three or four bottles nnd
think they are n good medicine for th«
kidneys. We are both feeling well now
so do not have to use them. Mr. Prouty
Is 74 years old and Is able to work all
day.”—MRS. A. B. Prouty, Pryor, Okla.
Jacksboro, Texas.—“I am more than
well pleased with the Anurlc Tablets.
I was disturbed five to eight times at
night nnd sometimes more. I was so
well pleased with the first supply of
Anurlc that I went to town nnd bought
two bottles. It Is the only thing that
ever gave me any relief for the kid-
neys and I want the world of sufferers
to know It. I think Anurlc Is the best
medicine on the market today.”—A.
