Ten Millions of Food

United States, because food control
is in the hands of the people.
The Food Pledge Week Campaign,
therefore, resolves itself into an eff
fort to secure as result of voluntary

gram of food conservation. The Food
Pledge Week Campaign represents an
effort to induce as many of the Amer

common policy. Our wheat reserves
can be conserved if everybody helps.
Our meat reserves can be conserved
if the whole public co-operates.
The Food Pledge Week Campaign,
therefore. turns out to be simple

people are asked to join together in a
common conservation policy. AS evi-

policy they are asked to hang a card

Killed BY Poiso,,s

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or dcgcncrated, by
disease or old age, then these poiscns are
retained in the body. Ii we with to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or il we
want to increase our chances for q long
life, DR.. Pierce Of the Invaiids Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty Of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys Theo
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
II we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet Of milk and vegc-
tables, with only little meat once q day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty OF pure
water, take Anuric three times day for q
month. Anuric is many times more potent
than lithia and dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

The present campaign to enlist popu-
lar support for the loans.
The chances are by dint of a drive

could raise three billion dollars from

captains of industry. But such a loan

the world what the plain American

The scheme in all these loans is to
get as many of the plain people inter

to the world this is not rich mans
war. but a war of all the people of the
United States upon the ruthless and
brutal military autocracy of Germany.

The Kennewick post Office has been
made county distributing center for
supplies of envelopes, stamps, postal
cards.. ETC., for all postofices in the
county with the exception of Prosser.
Under this plan Postmaster Beavers
will become bookkeeper for the small

Washington, d. c., will be relieved Of a
lot of detail work. The plan has just
been put into effect the country over.
In inaugurating the new system the

BATTERY "B" BOYS
BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Artillerymen from Benton and
Yakima Counties Subscribe
for $4,000 Worth

Not content with having offered
their lives to their country, the mem
bers of the Washington Field Artil-
lery now stationed at Fort Walla
Walla, under the command Of Major
Paul II. Weyrauch, yesterday opened
the Liberty loan campaign in this dis
trict with subscriptions Of about $13,-
500, and the announcement that fur
ther subscriptions are being made, re-
ports of which will be made later,
says the Walla Walla Union. About
10 per cent of the subscriptions were
made in cash and the balance will be
paid in monthly installments as en-
couraged by the government among
those working for wages.
Battery "B," recruited in Benton
and Yakima counties, led the battalion
with $4,000 subscription, the officers
of that battery have organized and
conducted their campaign more quick
ly than the others. Battery ga" SUBJ
scribed $3.50 and Battery &C" $3.50
and both the latter will undoubtedly
increase their totals today, according
to announcement last night, so that
the battalion as a whole will have
taken $4,000 and perhaps even $685.
900 worth of the bonds before the
week end.
This splendid patriotic action on the
part of the men who are also offering
their lives in the service of their
country had psychological effect on
the members of the campaign COM
mittee last night and will no doubt be
the means of awakening the Walla
Walla district to its duty, for there
are nearly ten millions on deposit in
this district, controlled largely by
men who will not have to fight one
lick for their country on the field of
battle.
The hero of the Field Artillery's
campaign is Gene Meyer, who Joined
Battery ga" only recently, and who
subscribed and paid in full for ST.
600 bond, or nearly one-half of the
entire amount subscribed by his bat
terry yesterday. Several others in the
battalion took $100 bonds and some
larger ones.
