FARMERS WIFE
WRITES LETTER
TELLS HOW CITY PEOPLE CAN
AID IN INCREASING THE
SUPPLY OF FOOD.
DON'T SPONGE ON OTHERS
Says Thoughtess Folk Make Unneces-
sary Work for Their Friends
in the Country Who
Are Busy.

Madison, visa farmers wife has
suggested way in which Wisconsin
people can help cut down the cost of
living and thus help fight the war.
1t consists merely in being thought
full of others.
In letter to Mrs. H. H. Morgan,
the woman member of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, this housewife says:
Dear Madam:
"Ats your meetings of the Council
of Defense, and from now on will you
kindly make plea for the conserva-
ton of the farmers wife's strength
and time.
The government is calling upon her
to plant gardens, can, dry, preserve.
etc., all OF which she is most willing
to do If she has the time and strength.
The government Is doing a great deal
to give her information, ETC., but she
must have one thing more-a procla-
nation or else newspaper or magazine
publicity bringing before city people
the need for her to have her Sundays
for rest or recreation after her hard
weeks work instead CT spending it
waiting on endless crowds who come
in never-ending procession Sunday
come into general use.
1.-THE fact that she really loses two
days each week which she might be
using to help the government this
summer ought to bring this practice
into bad repute. Saturdays are spent
In extra baking, cooking, etc., and If
she is not too tired to work at all,
Mondays are spent in replenishing the
empty larder, washing table-linen,
Strengthening disordered house, etc.,
caused by the Sunday crowds.
IF you can give the farmers wife's
plea sufficient publicity, many thought
less people will cease burdening their
tired country friends and you will be
doing her the greatest service that
has ever been done.
"Obviously, this is delicate subject
for the farmers wife to plead for her
self. and If she only did defend herself,
it would not help the millions of other
farm women who suffer likewise, so
we have appealed to the heads of the
Council of Defense to defend us from
our friends-real or make believe
this busy summer, unless they bring
their lunches.
1T surely is unpatriotic and should
be made unpopular through the press
for them to SO burden us when we are
doing all this extra work in answer
to the Nations call so the city peo-
pie will have food this coming winter
and SO sorely need the time and
strength instead of sQuandering it so
needlessly
1--WE would enjoy having people
come when we specially invite them,
of course, but we like to feel that we
will not be interrupted by two or three
more automobile loads of folks who
wanted to 60 Somewhere in the
country to spend the day"
eff you have any doubt of the truth
of this, ask any farmers wife or take
trip through the country on Sunday
and see the crowds at every farm
home and count the loss to the Ma
ton. Thanking you in advance, l
shall watch for the result in the pa
nar"

MISS five COUNTIES
AoIL: Gen. Orlando Hoiv5y

| When President Wilson prOclaims
the first draft to fill the regular army
and the national guard, he will find
Wisconsin far ahead of the schedule
according to Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way, who has just completed poll of
the state by counties to determine how
many men each county will have to
furnish
Under the draft act the quota for
each state is determined according to
the population and credit is to be
given for the number of men who were
in military service in the guard on
April 1, or who have entered the
guard or the regular army since that
date. Holway's toll does not include
the men who have enlisted in the reg
ular army since April 1. He is still
seeking this information.
| According to Gen. Holway's figures
the following counties will be exempt
from the first draft: Ashland, Forest
Green, Pepin and Sawyer

nish additional men to be exempt from

continually in the hope that when the
second draft comes Wisconsin will al

of those who are delicate, nervous

Gabriel Boudousquie, NJ. d., the

in France, Italy and Austria. says
that the public generally know very
little about what is needed to correct
the wrong conditions set up in the
human body through errors, dissipa-
tion and through eating foods that
are lacking in the chemical elements
that make red-blood corpuscles. nerve

Three wrong conditions must be cor

toxins in the system that are chem

putrefaction of undigested food ele-
deadly toxins tear down the vital en-
ergy and cause disease, functional
disorders and premature aging of the
body. Second, the depleted nerve en-
ergy must be restored and third, the
red-blood corpuscles must be increas-
ed to the number required by Nature.
1t will therefore be seen tnat meul-
cal compound to be effective in re-
storing wasted nerve energy. lost

gradients for eliminating the poison
Gus toxins, for restoring wasted nerve
