Federal Food Administra-
tion Points Out Why Peo-
pie Should Use Corn Meal
Instead of Wheat.
Largest Pack of Canned
Corn Since 1912 in Coun-
try, Says Bicknell and
Will Be Available in Flu
ture in Quantities.
THE AN SW Err.

European nations are already using
from 20 to 80 per cent corn.
Corn meal cannot be shipped with
out spelling.
There are no mills in Europe to
grind whole grain Flour must be
shipped from here
Corr bread cannot be baked sue
cessfully in bakeries on which Euro
pean psople depend almost exclusively.
Canned corn should be available in
large quantities to the consumer this
winter as it is predicted the total pack
fer 1917 will reach IL 100000 cases, the
largest since 1912 according to an an
nouncement made by the L. IS food
administration to r. +. Bicknell, food
administrator for Idaho.
In 1914 the total was 9,919.950 cases
and in the view of the administration
the large pack this wear should place
canned corn on the list of food prod
ucts to be obtainable at reasonable
prices.
WHY NECESSARY SUBSTITUTE.
Concerning questions asked by per-
sons who have been asked to pledge
themselves to follow the directions
and advice of the administration, as to
why it is corn and other foodstufrs
which the administrator asks them TO
substitute for wheat are not shipped to
our allies that they may make the sub

the following:

The question of why it is that corn, po-

the food administrator asks them to
substitute for wheat, are not shipped
to the allies so that they may make

scription rates. The example of all
the Chicago newspapers, which have
doubled their price, is being follow
ed in other cities. Papers of general
circulation are hit harder than the
city dailies by the change in mail
rates. They must raise their price or
go out of business.
Sunday papers are going up to 7,

papers increased their price some

PUBLISHERS FORCED
TO CHARGE MORE
WITH NEW BURDENS ADDED
MUST INCREASE PRICE OR
co OUT OF BUSINESS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
Is getting the publishers side of
The story. This is new both to con-
gress and the public.
The tremendous increase in second
class postage, as originally proposed
as a part of the war revenue-raising
plan of the government, would de-
stroy the property of two-thirds of
Che publishers of the United States.
The real facts of the situation are
now being brought out, in an effort
to have the postage plan amended
and made fair, both in the interest of
the publishers and the public.
Showing that the proposed increase
IN second-class rates would be confis-
catory and would drive hundreds of
newspapers and other publications
out of business, newspaper and mag
azine publishers and representatives
of printing trades have filed vigorous
protests before the senate finance
committee.
The second class mail provisions,
under which the government has been
carrying publications at cent
pound, was established fer the bene-
Fit of the public, in order that news
and knowledge might be disseminat-
ed throughout the country at rea-
sonable rate. Legislators at Washing
ton who do not understand or who
for reasons Of their own wish to mis-
represent the situation have attempt
ed to make it appear that the pub
fishers have been especially favored.
The facts, however, show that with
proper handling, second class mail
can be carried nearly 500 miles for
a quarter of cent pound. The post
office department gets cent pound
for the same service. The proposed
raise in second class rates would in
crease the price the publishers pay
over 800 per cent.
''Let Us Keep the Cow"
The publishers are asking no spe-
cial favors, but want to be placed on
The same level as people engaged in
other business. AS Chairman Don C.
Seitz of the publishers committee
told the senators: eve are willing to
do our full share. The rate proposed
Tor second class mail is an increase
beyond precedent-even in the price
Of chemicals or platinum produced
by war conditions. 1t is out of all
proportion to the value of the ser
vice performed by the postoffice de-
partment. The raise in rates will de-
strOy business and decrease the gov
ernment's revenue. All we ask is that
you let us keep the cow-you can
have the milk"
Arthur Dunn, speaking for the
smaller newspapers of the country,
showed that they could not stand the
increase in postal rates with the
greatly. increased cost of print pa
per and all other materials.
In the house, those, who under
stand the situation have shown the
proposed increase as the most unjust
TAX ever imposed, which would mean

WHO CARES HOW THEY
WEAR 'EM In HAWAI-?
That Is, If It's Windy Here. There's
Sightseeing a Plenty For All
Except the Blind.

The mere fact that they are wear
ing 'em higher in Hawaii means moth
ingtO Georgia people these days. If
they are wearing them much higher
than the present styles have decreed,
it is a matter of wonder how they
do it and get by with it-that's all.
1t seems that they would be lay
ing themselves open to severe and
opprobrious criticism, to say nothing
of the national board of censorship.
"See America First" is a fine old
motto, and it has been made posi-
BILE for the most poverty stricken and
the most addicted to the staying at
home habit, to have all the joys of
the elastic conventions of the Pacific
Isles brought right to their own
front doors. Or, to be a trife more
literal the real sightseeing begins on
the principal street of the cities
every day, and continues up and
down the entire thoroughfare. What
the wind leaves to the imagination
requires but little energy to see, and
there are some sights exposed these
gusty days.
1t it at last being understood how,
why and for what reason manufac-
turers of novelties in the way of nos
lery are daily racking their brains
and steadily wearing out their last
ounce Of ingenuity to contrive any
thing new in the line of sunset and
! fried egg effects.

Women.
As health is first aid to beauty
this story, told by Mildred Louise,
beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass,
is of unusual interest.
Il can recommend no better health
giver than Tonoline," said Mildred
Louise.
81 was for many months victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness.
l had suffered terribly from pains
that followed eating. Headaches al
so would add to my worries. Poor
digestion finally brought nervousness.
Relief came, however, when
took the advice of several women
who said, "Take Tonoline.'
"Not long after l started the Tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me of the improvement in
my condition. And because health
is the quickest way to beauty, the
improvement was particularly notice
able in my face.
What Tonoline really did for me
l cannot say. l am so grateful that
| am very willing to recommend Ton

Tonoline is a purely vegetable
preparation which goes to the seat
of common maladies-stomach and
kidney trouble, catarrhal affections
of the mucous membranes, liver all
ments and impurities of the blood
and quickly restores proper action.
Tonoline is being explained daily to
many people at Dawson Drug Co.,
and Williams Pharmacy, Shellman.
Notice. AS Tonoline is a wonder
full flesh builder it should not be TAX
en- by any one not wishing to in
crease his weight ten pounds or
more. Although many reports are
received from those who have been
benefited by Tonoline in severe cases
of stomach trouble and nervous dys-
pepsia, chronic constipation, etc.
