SEES DANGER OF
FOOD SHORTAGE
President Asserts America Must
Feed the World
MUST BE NO IDLE PL0WS
Wilson Urges More Grain Be Planted
and Yield Per Acre Also Be In
reased-Addresse Bust
ness Men of Nation.

Washington, Feb. 5.-"There is a
shortage of food in the world now.
That shortage will be more serious a
few months from now than it is now.
1t is necessary that we should plant
a great deal more 1t is necessary
that our land should yield more per
acre than it does now.
1T is necessary that there should
not be a plow or a spade idle in this
country if the world is to be fed"
In these words President Wilson ad-
dressed the people of the nation on
Wednesday night through several hun
bred representative business men at
tending the annual convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
The president declared that eve
must all pool out interests" in order to
discover the best means of handling
public problems.
The creation in the United States in
time of peace of the same kind of
united spirit which moves nations dur
ing wars was advocated by the presi-
dent, who remarked that when peace
is as handsome as war there will be
no wars" and when men engage in
the pursuits of peace in the same
spirit of self-sacrifice as they engage
in war, wars will disappear.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States the president asked that
business men devise some way of al
lowing exporters in the United States
to combine to secure common selling
agencies and to give longtime credits
in such a way that these cooperative
devices may be open to the use of all.
He declared that apparently the
antitrust laws prohibited such combi-
nations now, but that he would favor
a change if a method fair to all could
be found. He spoke of the work being
done by the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce in surveying the
world" for the benefit of all business
men
Business men themselves are to
blame if intelligent laws affecting
them are not framed, the president
asserted. He added that they should
come out into the open and use their
knowledge of conditions to bring about
fair laws to prevent business evils.
The Mexican question was men,
toned by Mr.. Wilson as an example of
the difficulty he had in getting. ac-
curate information.

Return of old Weapons.

This great war has seen the revival
of many old weapons such as the cata-
putt and the at one time obsolete NOR
tar Now we hear of hand grenades
being used, which gave the name to
the British Grenadier guards. The
original grenadiers were company of
picked men attached to every battal-
ion of foot They we're distinguished
by tall bearskin caps and held the
place of honor-the right when in line
and the front when in column.

some alarming complication arises;

stomach or bowel begins to give much

are so variable and indefinite In

ABOUT BRIGHrs DISEASE

Nephritis means inflammation Of the
kidneys. 1t is another term for
"Bright's disease" II may be acute
as in the case OF scarlet fever or
other infections diseases in which
a poison circulates in the blood and
Injuries the kidneys; or chronic. as in
the case OF those who drink alcoholic
beverages, eat too much or smoke
excessively.
Everybody knows that dropsy or
bloating OF the skin of the extremi-
ties and face is apt to occur in case
OF acute inflammation OF the kidneys
as also in severe chronic cases; but
everyone should also know that
dropsy is very common symptom Of
failing heart, and Of serious disease
OF the liver and OF plain anaemia.
The average case Of Bright's dis
ease develops very insidiously with
out any backache or noticeable dis
turbance OF kidney function whatever

OF circumstances will disclose the true
nature Of the illness. A test Of the
pressure, careful examination OF
the heart, painstakIng chemical and
microscopical examination Of the
urine, or, more likely, a series Of such
examinations on successive days, will
disclose the truth. and nothing short
OF this can. Not even the most ex-

II Is safe 70 say that future legis-
