Prove What Swamp-Root win Do For 70,
In Great Demand.

Movie actors whose physical make
up resembles some of the great char
lcters in American history are in great
demand because nearly all the moving
picture companies are making patriotic
films. Recently three men came out of
the Metro office on Broadway, and
their appearances were so impressive
that all the squads and busy actors
not only gave them the once over, but
stopped and looked at them. One Of
the men bore a striking resemblance to
Abraham Lincoln. Another was almost
the image of the Father of His County

high Is there are only few of 'em
who can enact Washington, Lincoln

DON'T EAT ANY
OLD POTATOES
Millions of Patriotic Citizens
Will Obey Edict to Insure
Big New Crop.
OLD ONES NEEDED FOR SEED
Prominent Chicago Club Starts Move
ment Which Quickly Spreads to
All Parts of Country-Specu-
Iators boarding Supply.

! Chicago, Ill.-Several million pa
| triotic citizens will eat no more old
potatoes until after July /. They take
large as possible the potato crop Of
the United States next harvest--a very
important matter The Eat No Pota-
toes" movement started short time
ago with the Hamilton club, one of
the leading political and social organ
izations in the country, quickly was
taken up by other clubs and hotels
here, and soon was spreading out
over the nation In all directions.
Who started the movement? An
agricultural expert of international
reputation, Eugene II. Grub, Is the
man. He made a public statement
In Chicago, saying: IF all the seed
potatoes in the United States were
planted this spring they would not pro-
duce a sufficient crop to meet the
needs of the country" That was an
ominous statement, but Carl Vrooman,
assistant secretary of agriculture,
backed 1t with this:
NcCocu TOT occus
There are several things I wish to
urge upon the American people for
the sake of economy and as patriotic
duty. First, don't eat any old pota-
toes. We need them for seed pota-
toes. Buy new ones, If you can afford
them, or use rice or something else as
q substitute"
That settled 1t. Hamilton clubmen
formed committee which began work
by taking potatoes off the club restau-
rant menu. Other clubs In town were
asked to cooperate. Then clubs and
hotels and prominent individuals all
over the land were asked to ban the
potato and use their influence to keep
folks from eating old potatoes. The
replies came in flood, and they were
he right kind of answers, too.
The Hamilton club committee also
started an investigation In the Chicago |
vegetable markets to see how many |
potatoes were held here. Imagine |
heir surprise when they found certain |
men and food spectators
n possession of more than half
million dollars worth of the vegetable.
This supply had been bought up dur
ng the late winter and early spring
nd the owners were planning a profit
f millions of dollars.
And now the appeal has gone forth
o farmers: Don't sell your seed pota-
pes at any price,"
The potato planting season begins
cry early in the South. but It does not
nd until about the first Of July In
orthern Michigan, Minnesota and
lontana, which are important potato
tates.
The American who wants to help
Tncle Sam win the war and who will
e delighted to get chance to trim

ltoes until after the planting season

doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-

was called in but failed to do him any
good. / at last induced him to try your
Swamp-Root and after taking it fors kee
months, he was attending to his bussness
as usual and is now entirely well. This

1.-THE nation has been advised to
economic on food. Economy means
the intelligent use without waste; 1t
does not call for self-denial. Economy
was recommended to stop the waste of
the $700.000.000 worth of food which
goes into the garbage pail each year.
The wave of patriotism sweeping over
the country should not seize upon par
simonious economy as a means of ex-
preston. There is no need for people
to cease purchasing; there Is need only
for the elimination Of extravaganza
and waste. There is no reason what
ever for curtailment of the use of
things ordinarily needed by people;
there is need that everything be put
to use.
AS patriots. 1t is our duty to stop
the wasteage of food; as patriots 1t is
equally important that we do not stop
the ordinary purchasing on which the
business and the industry of the coun-
try are founded. Hysterical economy
Is as much menace to the nation as is |
prodigal waste.

THE ANSWER
Boil Weevil and Negro Emf
grafton Not So Bad as
They At First
Seemed.

In a communication to The
Constitution. T. Cravens dis
cusses variously and to the
point the causes contributing
to the exodus of the Negro
from the South during the au
tumn months of 1916, and
what it really means. He EN-
phasizes the bright future
that looks ahead of this sec
ton, owing. in large part to
the boil weevils forcing the
farmers to turn their attention
to crops other than cotton,
and he points to a plane OF
development and an agricul
tural greatness which, he says
I'VE could never get if we
stuck to the all cotton and
all Negro system.
He closes by observing that
lit is little wonder that the
man with lot of head above
his ears has his business eye
on the southeast.
