MR.. HOOVER'S RULES FOR
FOOD SAVING

Mr.. Herbert Hoover prepared the
following simple rules for food say
ing:
Save the Wheat-One wheatless
meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal
rye, or barley bread and non-wheat
foods. Order bread twenty-four
hours in advance so.your baker will
not bake beyond his needs. Cut
the loaf on the table and only as re-
quired. Use stale bread for cook
ing, toast, etc. Eat less cake and
pastry.
Save the Meat Beef, mutton, or
pork not more than one ounce daily.
Use freely vegetables and fish. At
The meat meal serve smaller por-
tons, and stew instead Of steaks.
Make made-dishes Of all left-overs.
Do this and there will be meat
enough for every one at reason
able price.
Save the milk-The children
must have milk. Use every drop.
Use buttermilk and sour milk for
making cottage cheese. Use less
cream.
Save the Fats-We ethe world
greatest fat MASTERS. Fat is food.
Butter is essential for the growth
and health of children. Use butter
on the table as usual, but not in
cooking. Other fats are as good
Reduce use Of fried foods. Soap
contains fats. Do not waste it.
Make your own washing soap at
home out OF the saved fats,
Save the Sugar-Sugar is scarcer.
We Use today three times as much
per person as our allies. So there
may be enough for all at reasonable
price; use less candy and sweet
drinks. Do not stint sugar in put
ting up fruit and jams. They will
save better.
Save the Fuel-Coal comes from
distance and our railways are over
-burdened hauling war material.
Help relieve them by burning fewer
fires. Use wood when you can gel
| it.
Use the Perishable Foods-Fruit
and vegetables we have in abGn-
dance. As a nation we eat too lit
tie green stuffs. Double their use
and improve your health. Store
potatoes and other roots properly
and they will keep. Begin now tc
can or dry all surplus garden prod.
ucts.
Use Local Supplies Patronize
your local producer, Distance
means money. Buy perishabIe
food from the neighborhood nearest
you and thus save transportation.

CaIoneI Dynamites
A Sluggish Liver
Crashes into sour bile, making you sick and
you lose days work.


Calomel sallvatesl It's mercury. Calomel acts
like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel
comes into contact with sour bile it brushes into
it, causing eramping and nausea.
1t you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and
all knocked out. just go to your druggist and get
a so cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous
colonel. Take spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you lust go back and get your money.
If you take ealomel today youn be sick and
nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may sallvate
you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
win wake up feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play, It's harmless, pleasant
and safe to give to children; they like it.
