WHFA1LESS and
MEATLESS DAYS
MEAN BIG SAVING
Idahoans Will Be Called
Upon to Make Sacrifices
to Help Conserve All It's
Resources.

q, Strict observance by the citizens of
Idaho of one meatless and one wheat
les day each week, will together with
like conduct on the part of citizens
throughout the country, go long ways
toward helping to win the war, in the
opinion of r. F. Bicknell food admin
lstrator for the state of Idaho. Mr..
Bicknell bases his opinion on rough
ly estimated expression from the sta
.istical division of the food admins
ration at Washington.
nent, it is estimated that the saving
from one meatless and one wheatless
day each week would in year amount
TO between eighty and ninety million
bushels of wheat and two billion two
hundred million pounds of meat. These
calculations are made by the food adj
ninistration, based upon the normal
per capita consumption of these COM
modities in this country.
Administrator Bcknell calls atten-
tion to the fact that little or no indi-
vidual hardship is entailed in following
out the governments program.
Since the savings in these staples
will result in releasing to our allies
such tremendous quantities of neces-
stiles, Mr.. Bicknell believes when our
citizens have brought home to them
what great good may be accomplished
with a little self denial, that Idaho.
always in the forefront in patriotism,
will cheerfully deny itself meat and
wheat one day each week and that
many will probably volunteer to alb
stain from the use Of these things two
days each week.

ARE PROPRIETARY MEDICINES
FRAUDULENT?

Undoubtedly, there may be some
that are, but on the other hand, there
are many proprietary remedies that
are as standard as any prescription
that any present day physician can
write, and in thousands of homes you
will find these old, reliable remedies
in every day use with satisfactory re-
suits. Such a medicine is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which, for nearly 40 years, has been
alleviating the suffering of woman
kind, and overcoming some of the
most serious ailments of her sex. If
you are suffering from any of the
ailments of women, just give this
medicine trial and prove its worth
for yourself.
