Knit for the Sailor Boys.
The following letter explains
itself:
Editor Journal,
Greenville, Ohio.
Dear Sir: The Unit of the Navy
League at Columbus, Ohio, with
Mrs. William G. Deshler as its
president, is making an arduOus
effort to establish knitting units
in all the towns and villages of
Ohio, for the purpose of knitting
sleeveless jackets, h cline t. +,
scarfs, Wristlets and mittens for
the marines of the battleship
Ohio, so soon to go into service.
Each community in the state is
asked to start knitting at once.
1t is a simple thing to do. Wo-
men merely get together and
knit, or if they prefer, knit alone
at home. IL is not necessary for
any but the heads of the Units to
become members of the Navy
League al Washington. Needles
may be purchased of proper size
at almost any time at moderate
cost.
If there is a lack of funds to
buy wool, a good plan has been
worked out in some places. Be-
gin by raising $40 or 500, send to
Philadelphia for the wool at cost
and sell at store prices. Dona-
tions ere also solicited. There is
no red tape about it-just knit,
women.
Units may be either large or
small. No definite number is re-
quired to form a unit. In Co
lumbus the women get together
one afternoon in each week and
knit from 200 till 4:3O. They
meet in a church and find it an
inspiration and solace to unite for
work in the home of prayer.
Knitting units, besides being
practical, arouse patriotism and
become in every community a
benediction "where service is it.
self prayer.
Ever faithfully,
Elizabeth Meeker.

/ am troubled with an enormous appe-
tite and obstinate constipation. Have
taken cathartics until. they cease to
act and am now depending upon the
colon flushings. 1 am much over
weight but find it impossible to con-
troll my appetite. 1 feel sleepy a good
deal of the time and my hands are
always cold. Any suggestions that you
will make will be appreciated and fol-
lowed to the best of my ability.
MRS. c.. H.
! (Answer) The main cause of all
your trouble is overlooking. The APP
petite you mention is not natural
craving for food but is merely the
gnawing of an inflamed stomach and
the food only makes matters worse.
The other symptoms all come from
this trouble and you will, find they
will disappear of themselves when you
overcome your indigestion. When the
gnawing hunger comes on between
meals satisfy it by drinking copiously
of pure water. This will tend to heal
the inflamed lining of the stomach.
After few days you will find it pos
sible to skip one of the meals and fill
the stomach with water instead. You
will find from the first that the hun
ger grows less marked until after a
few weeks you should have no diff
Guilty in getting yourself down to a
moderate dietary. Once you are on
the right track your symptoms will
gradually disappear.

Home HEALTH CLUB

BACK TO THE FARM am in
c1ined to think that a vast amount OF
the profit received by city folks from
the garden patches and small farms
will be increased health and more
intimate acquaintance with the hard
work, long hours and small profits
that have been the lot Of the Amer1-
can farmers for many years.
The press and the government bull
letins have all been urging the far
mers and gardeners for years to grow
more food for the people, more hogs,
more cattle, more poultry, more gain,
moe fruit, more vegetables and the
government has empoyed many ex-
cellent systems for showing the far
mer how to produce more. 1t has
for a long time been a constant source
of amusement to see the apparent in
difference of the farmers to all this.
To those of us that could get down
to the fundamental principles of the
proposition, there was nothing at all
surprising about the farmers atti-
tude. Year after year his experiences
were the same. If an enormous crop
was grown the price dropped accord
ingly and when buying or contracting
for the crop or the animals the buy
er woulds how the government crop
reports to prove that there was such
an enormous supply that the dealers
would be lucky if they got their
money back. Then the farmer would
sell at the low figures. A 8 soon as
all contracts had been secured the
commission and storage men would
give to the newspapers a careful lot
OF reports that would make the gov
eminent reports look sick. The prices
i H. H.
pays the freight. The farmer gets a
living and the dealers get rich. Dur
ing the year 1913 the farm value of
the crops grown were a little in ex-
cess of $6,000,000,ooo. The consum-
ers paid over $13,000,000,000 for it.
Now, a portion of the farmers have
solved the problem for themselves
and will sell only to the consumers
or to the retail dealers but these are
few compared to the great number of
producers.
The present unexcusab1e prices
profit the farmers but little, but the
spectators are fat and flourishing
have many times urged 2co-opera-
ton among growers organizations and
cooperation among the producers of
milk would enable them to deliver
their product in the large cities at a
consumers and an increase Of at least
20 per cent. for the product.
It is said, and I am a firm believer
in the saying, that there is good in
everything" Out of the present ter
rib1e war good will come. The best
thing for the producer and consumer
will be a complete understanding out
of which will develop a simple and
practical method of distribution
through organization and co-opera-
ton. sincerely trust that one Of the
results will be to forever stop specu-
lation in food stuff and that the true
dignity of food production may be 50
fully recognized by both producer and
consumer that to be a farmer will in
reality as we'll as in theory be the
most desirable profession that any
man can select.

&C direct to France, and this is also
true as to the mules. The total num-
Der of horses sent to France since the
beginning of tho war is 1000, to
Great Britain $4,000, to Canada,
which sent many of them to the war,
900, and to other countries in the
same time $4,000. The distribution
eff the mules exported is not shown
in the monthly reports of the govern
n1ent, but presumably is about the
same as that of horses.
The demands of the war do not
seem to have caused any material adj
vance in the prices at which the
horses and mules have been exported.
The average export valuation of the
horses exported was in the first year
of the war 1921 per head, in the sec
ond year s205, and in the third year
$193$214 per head. The average ex-
port price of the mules was in the
first year $193, in the second year
S205,, and in the third year of the
war $206 per head. France seems to
have had the best of the horses sent,
as the average price of those exported
to that country was $237, to Great
Britain $21S, and to Canada $148 per
head, though presumably only a part
of those sent to Canada were for ac-
tive war service. Nor does the ex-
portation ,of a million horses seem to
have had much effect upon prices at
home, for the Department of Agri-
culture in its report on the number
and value of farm animals shows the
average value of all horses on farms
on January 1, 1914, a few months
prior to the beginning of the war. The
loss of million Of the best horses of
the country, however, had a. percep-
tible effect upon the total value of
farm horses in the country since the
Department of Agriculture estimates
of the value of all farm horses in the
country fell from $2,292,000.000 in
1914 to $2,175, 100000 In 1917: The
fact that the Department of Agricul
ture estimate of the average per CAPT.
ia. value of the farm horses in the
country is about one-haf that of
those, exported is due in part to the
fact that the Departments count in
cluded those of all ages, while those
exported for war service were pre-
ABLY in the best period of their
service.
1t is not surprising that the coun-
tries at war find it necessary to draw
upon the United States for horses,
since we have over one-fifth of the
100, 100000 horses of the world, and
far more than any other single coun-
try except Russia, which has about
10000, 900 against about 22,000,0 900
in the United States, though the Rus
sian supply was by reason of war
conditions wholly unavailable except
for her own armies.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-15

Yearly a million horses and more
than a quarter of a million mules Is
the export record of the United States
in the thirty-four months since the
beginning of the war. A compilation
by the National City Bank of New
York made on receipt of the reports
of the great mortality among Ameri-
can horses in the war zone shows that
that the number of horses exported
from the beginning of August 1914, to
the present time is in round numbers
$50, 900. and of mules $4,000. The
stated value of the horses exported
was $194,000,000 and of the mules
SEE 100000.
The fact that this Is mot a cavalry
war" and that automobiles, motor
cycles, flying machines and observa-
ton balloons are performing much of
the service formerly required of the
horse In war time, does not seem to
have checked the demand for Ameri-
can saddle and draft animals. In the
first year of the war the number of
horses and mules sent out of the
country was in round numbers 3d.
600, in the second year 100000, and
in the third year, which ends with
next month, will approximate 100000.
For the fiscal year ending with the
month of June, 1915, which is nearly
identical with the first year, the num-
Der of horses exported was 2S9,54o'
in the next year 357 1858, and In the
nine months of the present fiscal year
for which official figures are avail
able, 226, 1889, suggesting that the to-
tai for the fiscal year which ends
with this month will approximate
100000. This suggests slight de-

Dear Doctor: desire to ask few
questions upon which T have long de-
sired knowledge. What is Leprosy?
It's cause and cure? What is the cause
Of large, smooth, brown spots appear
ing one on each cheek and one on
the forehead? I will be very grateful
for any information I may receive on
these subjects.
(Answer) Leprosy is one of the
most ancient diseases ard is mostly
prevalent in Asia, Africa, the Sand
witch Islands and several other tropical
countries. In the United States is is
found in Louisiana, California, and a
few other states. The frightful char
acter of the disease makes it espec-
tally to be dreaded. It is not conta-
gious in the ordinary sense of the
word, unless virus enters into an abru-
sion. It's cause is not fully known but
it may be accounted for by the fact
that 1t Is most prevalent where the
poor subsist largely upon fish. The
symptoms are different in various
cases. There may be tumors over the
skin or reddish brown spots changing
to white. Tuberc1es may appear upon
the nose and upon the forehead and
| other places and end in ulcers. Loss
of sensation is common and decay Of
the bones not infrequent. "An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" IsoIating all cases as they oc-
cur is most desirable. Nourishing diet,
most nutritious food, and abundance
! of fresh air in a bracing atmosphere
| and tonics to aid intestinal indiges-
| ton seem essential
Large brown spots may appear on
the face and are often caused by in
activity of the liver, causing bile to
be absorbed into the system. The best
| treatment is to use something which
will aid in restoring to the liver nor
NAL condition. For this there is moth
| ing better that I know of than the
| Compound Gentian, first discovered by
DR.. Thompson.
