THE CHICAGO BREAD SHORTAGE.

Chicago was short of bread, not be-
cause there was lack of flour, or because
flour was so high that the people could
not buy it-although it was very high
but because one hundred bakeries were
closed owing to strike of the bakers
There is no need of Chicago going with
out bread if the women of that city, or
any city where a similar situation exists
or is threatened, go to work as their
mothers used to do and bake their own
bread. The women of Chicago possess
the right to vote. They can't enlist in
the army or the navy and they can't do
much in the way of raising food stuffs,
although they can help some in this di-
rection, but they can cook the food the
bakers refuse to cook. In normal times
when flour is Sc barrel, the bread which
is made from one barrel of flour retails at
something like $3.50. If the Chicago
women had put on their aprons, got out
the bread board and the mixing pan and
got busy we don't believe the bakers
strike would have occasioned much diff
Guilty. As a matter of economy, in these
times when economy is necessary in every
family, the women can save great deal
by doing their own baking. Bread max
ing is not such difficult art to acquire
and the woman who doesn't know how
to make bread certainly can't be regarded
as qualified to play her part in the world
of politics 1t seems as though it was up
to the Chicago women to prove that they
were equal to the emergency which then
confronted the people of that city

DO You Have Dizzy Spills?
It's Important to Learn the Cause, as Many
Belfast People Have.

Dizziness is never a disease of itself-its
only symptom of some deep-seated trouble
Much dizziness is caused by disordered kidneys
failing to filter all the poisons from the blood
these poisons attack the nerves and dizzines,
results. II you are subject to dizziness, there
is good reason to suspect your kidneys, and if
you suffer backache, headache, and irregularity
Of the kidney secretions, you have further
proof. Many Belfast people have learned the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills in just such
cases. Read this Belfast residents statement:
Mrs. c. c. Cunningham. 81 Court ST., Bel
fast, says: Last winter, I was taken down
with the grip and after l recovered, noticed
my kidneys were disordered. My back ached
and got so bad could not even dress myself
and many days had to let my Homework go
undone. Dizzy spells came over me and was
obliged to lie down, as they seemed to blind
me for the time being. l was very miserable
and went to the Old Corner Drug Store and
got Doan's Kidney Pills. Three weeks use of
this medicine rid me of kidney trouble entire
ly and am now in the best of health
Price Soc at all dealers. Don't simply ask
for kidney rem edy-get Doan's Kidney Pills
the same that Mrs. Cunningham had. Fos-
