The problem of food conservation is
one of many complexions. We cannot,
and we do not wish, with our free in-
stitutions and our large resources of
food, to imitate Europe In its policed
rationing, hut we must voluntarily and
fIntelligently assume the responsibility
1 before us as one in which everyone
[ lias a direct and inescapable interest.
| We must Increase our export of foods
to the allies, and I11 the eircuuistutiees
! of our shipping situation, these exports
j must be of tin* most concentrated
foods. These tire wheat, flour, beef,
pork and dairy products. We have oili-
er foods in great abundance which we
can use instead of these commodities,
I and we can prevent wastes in a thou-
sand directions. We must guard the
drainage of exports from the United
1 States..that we retain a proper supply
for our own country, and we must
1 adopt such measures as will ameiio-
1 rate, so far as may be, the pricp condi-
tions of*our less fortunate. We might
so druin the supplies from the country
to Europe as by the high prices that
would follow to force our people to
shorten their consumption. This oper-
ation of “normal economic forces”
would starve that element of the com-
munity to whom we owe tin* most pro-
tection. AYe must try to impose the
burden equally upon all.

point in the 20.0<KMHM» kitchens, on tin* |

retail establishments of the country, j
The task is thus in its essence the dairy |
individual service of all tin* people. !
Every group can substitute and even I
the great majority of thrifty people 1
can save a little—and the more luxuri- 1
ous elements of the population can by
reduction t<> simple living save much. '
The final result of substituting other
products and saving one pound of
wheat flour, two ounces of fats, seven
ounces of sugar and seven ounces of j
meat weekly, by each person, will,
when we have multiplied this by one j
hundred million, have increased our
exports to tile amounts absolutely re-
quired by our allies. This means no 1
more than that we should eat plenty, ,
but eat wisely and without waste.
Food conservation lias other aspects
of utmost importance. Wars must lie
paid for by savings. We must save
in the consumption in commodities and
the consumption of unproductive la-
bor in order that we may divert our ;
manhood to the army and to the shops.
If by the reduction in consumption of
labor and the commodities that it pro- 1
duces and the diversion of this saving 1
to that labor and those commodities
demanded by the war, we shall be able !
♦o light to eternity. We can mortgage j
our future savings for a little while,
hut a piling up of mortgages is lint a
short step toward bankruptcy’. Every 1
atom that we save is available for sub-
scription to Liberty bonds.
The whole of Europe has been en- ;
gaged ever since the war began in the
elimination of waste, the simplification •
of life, and the increase of its indu%
trial capacity. When the war is over
the consuming power of the world will i
be reduced by tin* loss of prosperity 1
and man power, and we shall enter n ,
period of competition without parallel J
in ferocity. After tin* war, we must {
maintain our foreign markets if our |
working people are to he employed. 1
We shall lie in no position to compete
if we continue to live on tin* same I
basis of waste and extravagance on |
'
temperate living is a moral issue of the
first order at any time, and any other ,
basis of conduct during tin* war be-
comes a wrong against the interest of
id the ini 1
democracy.
The impact of the food shortage of ;
Europe has knocked at every door of
the United States during tin* past three
years. The prices of foodstuffs have
nearl.v doubled, and tin* reverberations 1
of Europe’s increasing shortage would
have thundered twice as loudly dur-
ing the coming year even had we not
entered the war, and it can now only
he mitigated if we can exert a strong
control and this in many directions.
We are today in an era of high
prices. We must maintain prices at 1
such a level as will stimulate produc-
tion. for we are faced by a starving
world and tin* value of a commodity to
the hungry Is greater than its price.
As a result of the world shortage of 1
supplies, our consumers have suffered
from speculation and extortion. While j
wages for some kinds of labor have ;
increased with the rise in food prices,
in others, it has been difficult to main-
tain our high standard of nutrition.
By the elimination of waste in all
classes, by tin* reduction in tin* con-
sumption of foodstuffs by tin* more for-
tunate, we shall increase our supplies
not only for export hut for home, and
by increased supplies we can help in
the amelioration of prices.
For Better Distribution.
Beyond this the duty has been laid
upon the food administration to co-op-
erate with the patriotic men in trades
and commerce, that we may eliminate
the evils which have grown into our
system of distribution, that the bur-
den may fall equitably upon all by res-
toration. so far as may he, of tin* nor-
mal course of trade. It is tin* purpose
of tlie food administration to use its
utmost power and the utmost ability
that patriotism can assemble to ameli-
orate this situation to such a degree as
may lie possible.
Tlie food administration is assem- |
bling tin* best expert advice in the J
country on home economics, on food
utilization, on trade practices and
trade wastes, and on the conduct of
public eating places, and we shall out-
line from time to time detailed sugges-
tions. which if honestly carried out by
such individuals in the country, we be-
lieve will effect the result which we
must attain. We are asking everj
home, every public eating place find
many, trades, to sign a pledge card
to accept these directions, so far as
their circumstances permit, and we are
organizing various Instrumentalities to
ameliorate speculation. We are ask-
ing tin* men of the country who are
not actually engaged in the handling
of food to sign similar pledges that
they shall siM* to it. so far ns they ace
able, that these directions are followed,
and this is '.lie essence of democracy
itself.
Alfiocrae^ finds its‘strength in Its
ability to Impose organization by
force from tin* top. The essence of
democracy consists in the application
of tin* initiative in its'mvu people. If
individualism cannot !"• so organized

Nothing Ever Helped Him Until He
Started Taking Tanlac—Declares
His Health Has Been
Restored.
William Ludwig, a retired merchant
and prominent citizen of Port Arthur,
Texas, made 11k* following statement
recently.
“For six years I had suffered from
indigestion and painful disordered kid-
neys and fell islT until 1 was little
more than a skeleton. I had no appe-
tite and what little I did eat felt like
a lump of lead in my stomach. I was
so bloated up that I could hardly get
my breath and I couldn’t button my
clothes. My kidneys disturbed me so
I could scarcely sleep at all. 1 was
so weak I had to walk with a stick
and 1 couldn’t go up the steps at all.
I had a nervous cough, my limbs ached
and I hurt all over.
“I bought Tanlac because I was a
sick man and now I’m praising it be-
cause it has restored my health. I
have gained fifteen pounds in weight,
can eat anything I want and sleep as
well as I ever could. My cough has
disappeared, the gas has stopped
forming on tny stomach and my kid-
neys are in good shape. Nothing both-
ers me now and 1 have no more* use
for my walking stick. I have taken
many different kinds of medicine and
have been coming to San Antonio
every year for my health, hut nothing
seemed to do me much good until 1
took Tanlac.”

The newly-made magistrate frowned

“Guilty or not guilty?” lie demanded.

fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of am-
bition. But take no nasty, danger-
ous calomel, because it makes you
sick and you may Jose 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
cramping.
Listen to me! 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. Your druggist or dealer
sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone under my personal money-
back guarantee that each spoonful
will clean your sluggish liver better
5
it won’t, make you sick.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is real liver
mediciae. You’ll know it next morn-
ing, because you will wake up feel-
ing fine, your liver will be working,
your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be sweet and your
bowels regular.
Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and
cannot salivate. Give it to your chil-
dren. Millions of people are using
Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of dan-
gerous calomel now. Your druggist
will tell you that the sale of calomel
is almost stopped entirely here.—Adv.
