Food will win the war! Every
great cause must have a slogan and
this is the slogan which democracy
proposes to emblazen on her banners
in the fight which we as a nation
have undertaken to make against au-
tocracy SO that the world may become
a safe and pleasant place in which to
live, and the civilization and ideals
Of our forefathers preserved for fu-
ture generations. The President of
the United States and Mr.. Hoover,
U. S. Food Administrator, feel that
the food issue is an overshadowing
one and that the seriousness of the
situation has not been sensed by our
people, No one questions the res
ponse which will be made when the
situation is fully understood and ap-
preciated
In order that precious time may
not be lost and all the. people of
Georgia fully informed concerning
the food problem and enlisted as
soldiers of the commisary, the re-
quest has been made that pledges be
secured from every householder in
Georgia to the effect that they will
follow the advice and suggestions of
the Food Administration in the
saving and substituting of. non-es-
sentials for essential foods. People
will not be asked to go hungry, but
to eat wisely, well and abundantly.
This can be done and the meat, fat
and sugar, absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of the fighting pow
er of our allies, and our own armies
secured. 1t will take a minimum
amount of sacrifice ON the part of the
American people to enable them to
set free enough food to secure the
ends in view, namely, the complete
elimination of autocracy from cos
mic affairs

HIGH COST OF
FOOD PROBLI., EI.:.IIY.I

Chicago. Oct. 13.-The American
/ chemist has come to the aid OF the
American housewife in her struggle
to feed her family in these high-cost-
of-living war days.
He has told her what foods are
cheapest.
Probably you may think any person
can tell Which foods are cheapest by
merely learning the market price. But
that isn't all that is necessary. One
must know which foods have the
cheapest food value price. For in
stance, there is sixty times more food
value at present market prices in
| pound OF corn meal than in a pound of
celery. To put it differently, it costs
the housewife 60 cents to get rs much
food value out OF celery that she could
get out Of one cents worth of corn
meal-or hominy, oatmeal or broken
Erice
Chemists and other learned folks
speak of food values in terms ofcalo-
ries. Every person needs so many
calories of food each day Everything
you eat has calories-that is, food
value, fats carbohydrates, and pro-
TENS, While the body needs some Of
each, it couldn't exist on all fats, Mrs.
Jack Sprat to the contrary, or on all
carbohydrates or all proteins
But the problem to the average
American housewife is to get enough
Of each into her market basket with
out bankruting her husband.
In this effort the American Food
Journal has come to her assistance.
1t has Investigated and found the an.
swer.
And the remarkable thing is that
that food having the greatest food
values are the cheapest in the market
and these having the least food value
are the ones which take the greatest
toll from the pocketbook.
The same amount of money will sup |
ply the body with twice as much of
the needed fats of spent on cottonseed ;
oil, olenargarine or peanut butter than
if extra heavy cream or bacon is pur-
chased.
The cheapest foods man can eat
taking into consideration their food
values as compared with market
Corn meal, hominy, broken rice and
oatmeal, purchased in bulk.
And, according to the Food Journal
the most expensive foods
are:
Celery, peaches, lettuce and canned
tomatoes.
The American Food Journal has just
made public an interesting high-cost

SHIPPERS, PUZZLED
ABOUT INSURANCE
CAN now GET VERY LITTLE SAT-
IsFACTloN FROM STEAM
SHIP MEN.

Brunswick shippers are puzzled
about insurance on shipments Of
goods by coast steamers during the
war, and the steamship people have
some very hard questions to answer
On the war risk subject. There seems
20 be no positive information in the
hands of anyone in Brunswick.
Every bill c, lading used in rail-
road shipments has the following
clause: mo carrier or party in pos
session of any of the property herein
described shall be liable for any loss
thereof or damage thereto or delay
caused by the act of God, the public
enemy, the authority of law" etc. It
is the public enemy which figures at
the present time. The question Is
whether marine insurance protects
the shipper from acts committed by a
foreign foe.
So far none of the local coastwise
shippers have been damaged, but
there is no telling how soon it may
happen and of course as a result of
the situation some are not resting
very easy.

RED CROSS AIDS IN
REBUILDING FRANCE

Washington, Sept. 13.-The follow
ing cable from Major Grayson M. P.
Murphy, head of the Red Cross Com
mission to France, has been received
by the Red Cross war council:
1.-The bureau of Reconstruction of
civil agairs of the American Red
Cross in France has a new motto:
Housing follows the plow.'
. I'm view Of the overshadowing i'm
sportance of augmenting in every pos
7sihle way the food supply, the Red
Cross will carry on its best work of
reconstruction in those portions of
the devastated areas which are Sc
lected by the government as the best
wheat growing regions, and to which
the French government sends its bat
teries of tractors for blowing by
wholesale. Representatives of three
divisions of the American Red Cross
in France-planning engineering and
civil afairs-returned recently from
a study of conditions in the devastat-
ed areas, having selected three vii
lagos in which provisional reconstruc-
ton work will be begun within a
fortnight.
Fifty villigase were visited. In
some, the destruction of buildings was
complete. In others, portion Of the
buildings can be replaced Nearly
all the houses are without roofs,
without windows and door frames,
and with absolutely no furniture or
utensils.
''The Red Cross plans to do provis-
ional reconstruction Of dwellings in
several of these villages, and also, as
the refugees return to the villages, to
assist in their economic and social re-
Mobilization. In the light of exper-
fence gained in the villages, it plans
to undertake provisional reconstruc-
tion on a larger scale. In these par
ticular villages, the total population
before the war was 1887. Now it
is 235.
"The villages first selected are
those in the best wheat growing
areas. and the government will pillow
the land with tractors. The repair of
the houses will permit the return Of
the refugees who can do much toward
getting the land sown to wheat this
autumn In order to encroach as lit
tie as possible on the limited supply
of lumber, the Red Cross is seelct-
ing villages in which the work will
be largely that of provisional repair
rather than of new construction. 1t
plans to make on the spot its own
brick and lime"
