WAR KITCHEN CREED TO BE
PRACT1CEO IN COLORADO

The Federal Food Administrator for
Colorado, Tbos. B. Stearns. announced
that he has . volunteer force of over
two thousand workers who have
pledged to devote their time to making
q success of the Feed Administration
Pledge Card Week Campaign.
Colorado's quota is two hundred
as though census of the country were
quotas for the United States is ten
million Food Conservation Pledges!
Every home in the United States will
be visited! A national campaign pro-
jected SO large in its scope that the
work to be accomplished is as great
as though q census of the country were
to be taken in q week!
Such is the program outlined for
the Food Pledge Week Campaign, Oc-
tober 2sth to November 18th.
What is it all about?
Why so much fuss
What are the motives back of such
a tremendous drive?
In every state thousands of people
are asking these questions while thou
sands of others are preparing them
selves to furnish a complete answer
to the query.
Reasons Are Plain Enough
The reasons why the Food Pledge
Campaign has been projected upon
such broad lines are simple enough
plain enough.
So simple and SO plain that they
have been stated in the compass of
a card-a card that it is proposed to
hang in every home of the land-a
card that is the war creed of the
Kitchen" because, so closely are the
people in this country linked to the
world-war, that one of the phases of
the struggle must be fought out in the
American kitchen.
If soldiers are to fight they must
be fed. For the past three years, one
by one, our allies across the sea have
been taking the men from the farm
and from the factory and sending them
to the firing line. Each man sent to
the firing line meant one less who
could be relied, upon to help produce
the food that will win the war"
England, France, Italy and Bel
gium, says the war creed of the kit
chen, which, after all, completely
states the problem and presents the
solution, taken together, even in times
of peace, import, forty per cent of
their foodstuffs, but no with their
millions upon the firing line, they
must import more heavily than be-
fore.

Rev. Sykes Tells Of
His WifeS Trouble.
Minister Of the Gospel Thinks 1t His
Duty to Make Statement About
Wonderful Change

1t is seldom, indeed, that men
of prominence, especially minis
tiers of the gospel. willingly ex-
press their indebtedness public
ly to a proprietary medicine.
However, when a medicine OBJ
tains that singular purity and
efficiency that is shown by the
uniform preparation, Tanlac,
statements from our best citi-
zens are to be considered
thoroughly commensurate with
the good that is actually being
accomplished.
Rev. A. H. Sykes. pastor of
the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville. Tenn, prom
inent not only as a minister of
the gospel, but popular as a man
and citizen who has been true to
his friends and every trust ever
reposed in him, said recently:
For the past ten months,
Mrs. Sykes has been in very
delicate health, suffering from
bad stomach and kidney trouble,
which gradually developed into
a general breakdown. At times
her condition became alarming,
and l frequently sought medical
advice. but nothing we could do
for her seemed to bring relief.
In fact, she suffered so long and
so much that | feel it my duty
to let everyone know what this
medicine has done for her. For
several months her condition
was such that she had to remain
in bed and as a last resort, / de-
cided to let her try Tanlac.

have always been skeptical re-
garding the use of proprietary
medicines, but this case has GER

Tanlac is a medicine of great
power and extraordinary merit.
