In the days of smaller and less urban ma
ton we were wont to be known people
whose earners were ''good providers" We
have not stinted our homes by any measure of
undue economy, even of thrift. But now
comes a time when good provider must con-
slider the future; summer of plenty and a
winter Of deprivations and discomfort will not
be a program to be commendable for wisdom
or kindness. The government is deeply con-
cerned over the possibility Of reasonable econ
omies of foodstuffs, and other means of upkeep
to homes, being delayed too long to be made eff
fective. If the people realize now that it is en-
tirely possible that necessaries of life may be
harder to buy during the coming year than
they have ever been in this land of plenty the
solution of this difficulty will be sighted.
Economy is probably the most difficult Of
practices to be taught to this nation. The edu-
cation of the past fifty years has all been in the
opposite direction. But we are a people of
great potential good sense and immense re-
source of ingenuity. Our home keepers consti-
tute one of the most intelligent bodies Of women
known to history. Our producers of foodstuffs
have never bent to the task of intensive farm
ing There is still an immense an ount of land
capable of producing products of high
r-alue that is lying idle in smaN parcels all

Grain for Food. Not Drink.

Manufacturers Record: While the
world is short of food and prices are
steadily mounting. millions OF
bushels of grain are being turned
into alcoholic drinks. Every bushel
thus used takes bread from the poor
and lessons the worlds supply OF
foodstuffs, while the product of the
brewery and the distillery adds to
the sorrows and sufferings of the
world. In this great emergency let
the nation rise to the opportunity
and suppress the use of grain for the
production of alcoholic drinks. Here
is one way to add to the food supply
and to lessen at the same time the
worlds sufferings.
Within few hours after the fore
going suggestion in regard to abol-
ishing the use of grain for distillery
purposes was written, similar prop
osition was made at a meeting in ST.
Louis, called by Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston, by Henry J. Waters,
president Of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. Many millions of
bushels of grain essential for food
stuff could thus be saved and the
nation greatly strengthened from
every point of view by such a STEP

are still earning large profits from the waste OF
kitchens We still eat a diet of preference, fur
nished to us with every sort of expensive con-
venience. 1t is patent that we have great
means of economy. What we need is the will
to use these, and to use them now, while they
may be safeguards to the time OF stress The
surplus products of our gardens must be con-
served carefully apd these gardens must be
greatly increased in number. We must con-
serve our grain supply by more economical
methods Of using its milled product. These are
large economies; but the largest economy OF all
will be the sum of the small economies that

(By Samuel Hamilton, M. D.)
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler. Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water is necessary IN
good bodily housekeeping. To drink
pint of hot water before meals Is
good practice, and those suffering
from catarrhal condition of the
stomach will find benefit in adding
about 10 grains (one-sixth of a level

1t an hour before each meal.

at times, pain in the back or back
of the neck, take little Anuric be-
fore meals Anuric double strength
can be found at any good drug store,
and was first discovered by DR..
Pierce, of the Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y.
When rundown, when life indoors

age. This uric acid in the blood
often causes rheumatism, lumbago,
swelling of hands or feet, or a bag
like condition under the eyes. Back
ache, frequent urination or the pains
and stiffness of the joints and high
blood-pressure are also often noticed.
Everyone should drink plenty of pure
water and exercise in the open air as
much as possible. l have found that
Anuric is an antidote for this uric

REASON FOR THE CHOICE.
Why Charleston, w. Va, Secured 'h
Government Armor Plate plant


Government Armor Plate plant
New York Sun: = Charleston, the
capital Of West Virginia, was selected
as the site for the governments sA1.-
100000 armor plate plant first OF all
because of military considerations and
secondly for economic reasons.
A special board of naval experts,
headed by Rear-Admiral Fletcher, Wis
tied and inspected twenty-nine cities
out of over one hundred which offered
free cites for the plant Most proposed
locations had to be rejected for geo.
graphical reasons. They were too near
the boundaries of the country or were
situated in the path of possible inya-
sion in time of war. The naval board
found that the upper Ohio valley and
the interior region of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia offered maximum
military security.
Studying the subject from the manu-
featuring standpoint they decided that
the advantages of this same region
were incontestably greater for the pur-
pose in view than those of any other
section They reported:
THE West Virginia district has the
great advantage of near access to
some of the best coal mining regions
| in the United States.
"Pig iron markets are not far re-
moved; oil and natural gas are avail
able; water plants may be developed
| to certain extent, although the cheap
price Of coal makes it possible for coal
| fired plants to compete with the n.y.
| draulic power
This district is close to the great
steel industrial labor markets of Penn
sylvania ara the cost of assembly of
raw materials is very low"
| Cumberland, Md, was Charleston's
principal rival in the boards consid-
Ito be closer to the best labor and sup
ply market in Pennsylvania and to Of
| fer reader facilities for distribution
! of the finished product. But these fac.
tors were Offset by the fact that local
conditions at Charleston provided a
more favorable physical site and the
cost of assembled materials promised
to be exceptionally low in the West
Virginia capital.
| The acquisition Of the armor plate
plant makes Charleston one Of the
most important industrial communities
in the country. The city's recent pro-
gress in development has been in
every respect noteworthy. Lying at
the confluence of the Kanawha and
Elk rivers, 1t has regular steamboat
communication with the principal riv-
err ports It is shipping point for
coal, salt and timber. Deposits of coal,
oil and natural gas surround It. Axes,
glass, engines, boilers, furniture, car
riages, fire brick, lumber, boat building
yards and color and veneer works con-
stitute it's present principal enter
prises. It's population has grown rap
| idly.
In 1890 Charleston was a place OF
6,742. By 1900 the population had
gone up to over 1900 In the follow
| ing ten years the number of inhabit-
ants was more than doubled. Probab-
ly the census of 1920 will show a city
I Of over 10000.
| In bidding for the armor plate plant
Charleston offered several free sites
with peculiar advantages, including a.
protected gorge close by the ground
| for factories. This gorge will be used
as proving ground for the newly
made armor plant.

AGITAT0RS HINDER NEW
 RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
CIRCULARS URGE PEOPLE TO UNI DERTAkE MASSACRE OF THE
 INTELLIGENT GLASSES.

Petrograd, March 2, Via London. March 2S, 2:40 d. m.--The work of agitators whose efforts are designed Co hinder the successful accomplish- ment of the revolution, is becoming apparent with the subsistence of ac- tiyity on the part ot the military which forced supporters of the old regime to keep in hiding during the early days of the upheayal.
 The indications of such work in Petrograd, which are indefinite in form. are confused with the possible designs of a horde Of criminal pris- oners who were released from the jails with political offenders. One definite instance has been recorded however. Yesterday a motor car speeding along tho streets scattered proclamations calling on the people to undertake whole j., massacre of the intelligent classes.
 On other occasions during the night time similar cars have been running about without lights Their occu- pants are said to have fired on the militia. The militia is thoroughly alive to the danger ot such counter manifestations and the commandant has issued strict orders for vigilance.
 Strange chalk markings on the rear doors of apartments throughout the city are causing much uneasiness and in the absence of other explorations they are being linked with the general mass Of rumors of efforts being made for a counter-reyoution From khar- doy, Kiev and points along the Nolga come reports of efforts of the old secret poice to stir up opposition td | the government. The situation ig South Russian cities has been com plicated by the wholesale escape ol
 desperate criminals who are assist ing in the Reorganization tomenteo cy enemies of the government.
