PROVISIONS FOR THE ARMY IN
THE FIELD.
Importance of Keeping Body Well
Nourished.

In time of war, the greatest effort
is always made toward cutting off the
enemy's base of supplies. It is the
well-nourished people who fight the
strongest and live the longest and
contribute most to human progress.
Is your stomach doing its duty-does
it convert food into good blood and
tissue?
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry has been so successful in the
treatment of indigestion, that thou
sands of former sufferers owe their
good health today to its wonderful
power, and testimonials prove it.
1t arouses the little muscular fibres
into activity and causes the gastric
juices to thoroughly mix with the
food you eat, simply because it sup
plies the stomach with pure, rich
blood. It's weak, impure blood that
causes stomach weakness. Get good
blood through the use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and you
will have no more indigestion.
1t is the worlds proved blood puri-
| fer. It's not secret remedy for its
ingredients are printed on the wrap
per. Start to take it today and be-
fore another day has passed, the i'm
purities of the blood will begin to
leave your body through the liver,
kidneys, bowels and skin, and in a
few days you will know by your
steadier nerves, firmer step, keener
mind, brighter eyes and clearer skin
that the bad blood is passing out, and
new, rich, pure blood is filling your
veins and arteries.
The same good blood will cause
pimples, acne, eczema and all skin
eruptions to dry up and disappear.

cry is the helpful remedy that nearly
everyone needs. 1t contains no alco-
hol or narcotics Of any kind.

CLAIMS GERMANY CAN
NOT BE STARVED OUT
(By Karl H. Won Wieeand.1

BERLIN, Nov. 10.-(By Courier to
Rotterdam and thence by Mail to
New York Baron Won Schorlemor,
minister of agriculture, today put to
flight the idea that Germany can be
forced into submission by starvation,
With his fingers figuratively on the
agricultural resources of the country,
Baron Schorlemor went into much de-
tail in attempting to prove his asser-
ton that Germany can feed her pop.
ulation and her vast armies for an
indefinite period without importations
of farm products and foodstuffs.
If England thinks she can starve
Germany into submission, failing to
conquer US by arms" said the Ger
man minister of agriculture, "she will
lind she has made a miscalculation
Germany can produce enough food
to feed her population for any per-
iod the war may last, provided we
continue our economizing and elimi-
nation of waste. Germany will not
starve--no, nor half starve."
Baron Won Schmorlemor. who has
been mentioned frequently as the next
imperial chancellor, through his in
terview was unusually candid. He
frankly admitted that he was not Eek
actly an optimist on the food ques-
ton when the war broke out" The
lirst three months of the war he de-
clared, however, had showed that Ger
many need not fear a famine.
In the first place. explained the
minister, 1--WE have three million less
mouths to feed now than in times of
leaee. These figures represent for
eigners who have left Germany. and
our soldiers who are subsisting off
he enemy's territory. They repre-
sent a saving of Approximately one
million tons of grain and two mill
'on tons of potatoes. Add to thi.
-he great saving and elimination of
waste by the people because of the
war"
The baron turned to statistics gath
cred by his department showing av.
eragc consumption and use of grain
Tor all purposes. He pointed out that
these figures showed that the annual
requirements for 6.00O,O00 people are
io,foo,ooo tons of grain for bread,
md 43,296,0O0 tons of potatoes.

Grains, li.651.0o tons; potatoes.
ts,662,000 tons. This left 100 600
tons of grains to be imported and n
surplus Of 5,s660O0 tons of potatoes
We exported 5s,l21 900 tons of rye
sut imported 2,oo7 ,61O tons of wheat
Expectation of foodstuffs is prohibit
ed, and therefore the surplus rye and
potato production will go long way
toward filing up the lack between
production of wheat usually covered
by imports.
The use Of grain for feeding ami

been forbidden. There is to be

Germany drafts every able bodied
man; Great Britain drafts none, or
has not up to this time. And until
she does it is safe to assume that the
critical stage in the war, for the en-
tente, has not been reached Also,
we should say, until Japan's admit
tedly excellent army of half mil
lion men is put to further use than
occupying a Chinese port, the end of
entente resources is far from in sight.
Four months this war has been rag

ed for the manufacture of potato
flour There were 100000 tons of
grain left from last years crops. One
million tons Of grains will be saved
through prohibition of feeding it to
animals The mixture of rye with
wheat and potato flour with rye to
make bread means a vast addition to
the bread supply"
Asked regarding Germany's meat
supply Baron Won schorlemor was not
so optimistic. OF the per capita con-
sumption of 116 pounds Of meat 10s,
said the minister, were produced in
Germany. Fowls, and especially
geese, may become very scarce, he de-
clared, as most of the supply has
come formerly from Russia, and eggs

CHORUS:
It's long way to Tipperary,
It's long way to go;
It's long way to Tipperary.
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell to Leicester Square;
It's long, long way to Tipperary,
But my hearts right there.
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish

For love has fairly drove me silly,

Rescue Work.

Rescut WORK.
According to DR.. Holmes. the bu-
reau has recorded its most notable
achievement in the rescue of more
than one hundred entombed miners at
different disasters, and the rescue of
many more miners by volunteers who
had been trained in life-saving work
by the bureau.
The total number of miners train
ed by the bureau has now reached
24,975.
Accidents.
Despite the efforts of the bureau
of mines, Director Holmes declares
that the loss of life is far greater
than it should be with the natural
hazards of the industry, and makes
plea for more extended investiga-
tons on the part of the government.
The necessity for more extensive
use of safety appliances in the mines
is shown by the statement that in
the last five years, through lack of
such appliances, more than $500 men
have been killed in the mines and
nearly 10000 seriously injured.
Cause of Mine Disasters.
In discussing the causes of mine
disasters, Director Holmes says: "Not
only have men been killed or injured
from what are believed to be unneces-
sary electrical accidents in mining.
but indirectly electrical apparatus
has been responsible for mine explo-
sions and mine fires that have ex-
tensively destroyed both life and prop
erty.
THE improper use of explosives
and the use of improper explosives
have directly or Indirectly caused n
large share of the fatal accidents and
serious injuries to the men. But fully
as serious as the killing or injurinp
Of several thousand men from this
cause during the past five years has
been the injury to the health of the
miners from poisonous gases given
