When cross, feverish, restless, see

delicious "fruit laxative" Children
love it, and it cannot cause injury.
No difference what ails your little
ore-if full of cold, or a sore throat,

given. Full directions for babies,

sire irrigation or water power.

Raise Grain and Hay Advice
Given Out by Government

necessary, Dean Hunt believes, to
limit by legal or military action the
amount of food to be consumed by the
American people, but military neces-
sity may make it desirable to reduce
greatly the service now rendered by
the retailer.
Moreover, it may be desirable for
the individual states to empower their
government to take over and store food
products and to issue certificates Of
sale bearing A per cent interest,
against these products, the certificates
20 be redeemable at the option of the
slate. Dean Hunt believes that it will
he undesirable to attempt to control
the production of foodstuffs by legal
or military means, but it may be well
for towns of over 1000 Inhabitants to
legislate on food distribution.
Dean Hunt warns against securing
a poorly balanced ration, as has been
done in Germany, and says that the
ordinary family of five ought to be
able to get along comfortably at an
cxpenitude per annum of from $435 to
$3.50 for foods-spending about 81 per
cent on protein foods, about II per
cent on fats, II per cent on starchy
foods, 13 per cent on fruits and vege-
tables, and the balance on sugar, tea
and coffee. These figures do not in

Berkeley, April Let is impossible
to starve the American people. Where
the pinch will come, however, is in
meats and fats.
Such are the facts reported to the
committee on resources and food sup
Fly of the California State Council
Of Defense, Of which President Ben
janlin Ide Wheeler of the University
of California is chairman, and the
other members Charles H. Betnley and
J A. O'Connell of San Francisco, Miss
Ethel Moore of Oakland and B. B.
Meek of Oroville, after preliminary
discussion of the food problem made
at the request of the committee by
the agricultural faculty of the Uni
versity.
Here is the advice as to how the
patriotic farmers of the Pacific coast
can best serve their country in the
present wartime emergency, contained
in a statement made to the commit
tee on resources and food supply by
Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the College
OF Agriculture of the University of
California.
The farmer should produce as much
meat, eggs, butter and milk as he
can.
What the public does not understand
and what most farmers do not real
ize is that the special emergency need
now is to grow much greater quanti-
ties of forage crops as food for do
rpestic animals. Such crops as milo,
feterita, Egyptian corn, brown durra,
sorghum and sudan grass should be
planted extensively, for they give a
maximum of result for minimum OF
effort.
Most of the current talk about the
food problem has been about growing
potatoes in the back yard or eating
r,ce instead of potatoes. AS matter
cf fact, the opportunity for saving
here is almost nothing. Potatoes and
rice together do not cost more than
u nHr cent OF Ine diiludl SAPeAuiIuie
70 family for wood, while
the average Pacific
for food goes for
rs, milk, butter
