Using silage to feed the COW.
You like canned fruits and vege-

says the United States Department

After all is said, the fact re-

The police court, the jail, the infrm-

"The business is not like any other

-! strongly favor complete national
prohibition. I believe we are facing a
serious test Of our national character and
efficiency, and I am firmly convinced that
national prohibition measure would be
of transcendent Importance in it's effect
upon the national spirit in conserving and
increasing our food supply and in raising
the efficiency of the nation.
1.-The man power released from the
liquor industries could be directed into
productive channels, where the need of
labor will be acute, and thus be readily
absorbed.
80 The plea that Government revenue
will be seriously curtailed should not in
fuence action, for prohibition will induce
a national efficiency which will open new

Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move
the bowels. They are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.
