How to Keep Down Cost of Idvin,

F ~~"n NO0C Va Living.
The day Of luxury has passed, so
Tar as the present order Of things is
concerned. DR.. Harvey ". Wiley, the
well-known food expert. for many
years In the employ Of the United
States government. says.
whether I'VE remain at peace or
adventure on war. the government
should take over our food supplies.
Every family in the country must
be able to buy staple foods at fixed
prices.
ALREADY one-tenth of the people of
the United States are starving. Such
starvation is largely due to stupidity.
Even today one dollar spent on In
dian corn will keep a working man
well nourished for one month. Five
dollars will supply four weeks satis-
Tying food for an average family.
plain living? OF course! But you
may take 1t from me, the war has kill
ed luxury for this generation.
Humanity ia entering upon such L
period OF enforced economy as the
world has never seen. Europe feels
this today. We may realize it tomor-
row.
The Balanced Ration.
when one dollar can purchase
only so cents worth OF food the man
who earns and the woman who spends
must learn what foods furnish the
most nourishment before they buy.
Corn bread. corn mush. any one
of a hundred corn dishes with bak-
ed potato and an apple supply per-
fectly balanced diet.
''For children milk is also necessary

Health for Four Cents.
II will guarantee to keep any child
In perfect health. growth and enjoy
ment on a daily ration of one half
pound Of corn meal and one pint of
milk day-cost four cents.
THAT plan steals the threat from
food wars or railway strikes. and
puts the quietus on the question of
the high cost Of living.
Hungry Can't Work.
"A hungry child cannot be good !:
neither can it work or study properly.
my household OF four makes four
dinners from hve-pound roast,
changing to a chicken on Sunday. The
rest of the diet is fruit. potatoes and
cereals. We work hard and are never
i'll.
Ny farmer. who earns one-twen-
eth of my wages. spends not less
than five times as much per person

Whole Family Benefited
BY Wonderful Remedy

There are many little things to
annoy us. under present conditions
OF life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability. We arc frequently SO
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as we'll.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
DR.. Miles Anti.Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Harts6eld, 81 Plum ST.,
Atlanta Ga, writes:
Il have on several occasions been

Hot Fighting Coming,
Herve Warns France
Action in West May Be as Sc
we're as Verdun, Says
Editor

There is something peculiarly inter
esting in the position which GustaVe
Herve has carved out for himself in the
public life of France during the last
two and a half years. The man who,
before the war, was notorious through
out the country for his anti-patriotism
has come to be regarded as one Of the
soundest and sanest patriots in all
France, and his opinions are held in
esteem by people of many divergent
views, says "The Christian Science
Monitor"
VI. Herve may criticise the govern
ment. may hurl his invectives against
the press censor and may be entirely
intolerant of incompetence in any
direction. but the French public has
come TO be assured of two things which
give il a special confidence in the ed
tor of LA Victoire"-namely, his i'm
partiality and the unwavering stead
fastness with which he puts France be-
fore all else.
II IL for these reasons that VI. Hervc
can, without the slightest suspicion Of
presumption. address the French people
through his paper and warn them,
praise them or encourage them, as the
occasion may require. Recently he has
been telling his readers how. in his
opinion, il would be we'll for French
men to carry themselves toward the
development of what he calls the COM
ing great and final offensive in the
West" With that astonishing balance
Of judgment which is almost piquant
in its unexpectedness, as coming from
Herve, the anti-patriot, he would stead
lily hold thought to the middle course.
Let Frencnmen not indulge in the
futile and comfortable assumption that
their opponents have reached the end
of their resources and cannot make any
impression on the Allied front France
has still arrayed against her vast
masses of men and material. Let them
not be surprised il they have TO face a
recurrence of fighting as severe as that
which occurred before Nerdun more
than year ago.
In the next sentence. however. he
rounds on those who fly to the other
extreme; who raise the cry of France
in danger; who undermine faith in
those who are guarding the line" and
who declare that neither the country
nor her army is prepared TO meet the
impending shock The Allies. VI. Herve
asserts. in so many words. have the
men and the materiel TO accomplish all
that is necessary. The call Of the mo-
ment, then, is for an understanding
faith and an understanding confidence.

British National Service

London. Feb. 1.-the great war
loan publicity campaign is being sue
ceeded without delay by a similar CT
fort in the cause of national service.
In Trafalgar Square, on the bases of
Nelson's column, the striking war loan
placards have given place to national
service messages: Tf you cannot fight
for your country, work for it," "All
men from eighteen 10 sixty-one are
wanted" 1--WE must build ships, we
must make munitions, we must till the
land" and so on. Similarly, at the

change. there will be great publicity
displays in support Of the new cam

Salvation Army Grows

General Booth, speaking at the &c
gent Hall. oxford circus, says "The
London Times" said the Salvation
Army was now represented in over 60
different countries and colonies. About
$4,000 officers and others were entirely
engaged in the direction of its affairs,
and the work was conducted in from
10000 to 1000 centres IN 81 different
languages. In the Punjab Province of
India the Salvation Army would shortly
have handed over 10 il the esponsibil-
ity for the social welfare Of the Grim
inal tribes. numbering 10000 people.
In the West Indies they were under
taking the entire work Of looking after
the leper colonies.

Freight Situation
Little Improved

The freight traffic situation contln-
ucs to have its unfayorable effect on
automobiling, as many prospective own
ers have found they are being prevent
ed from getting their new motor cars
on account of the shortage of freight
cars. If the general strike goes into
effect buyers Of motor cars will be
still further hampered in their efforts
to get hold of their new cars.
The situation is not without its odd
angles. For instance, a new company
was formed recently to represent the
Jackson car here. The dealers went
ahead and got salesroom space and
made all preparations for an opening.
The opening will come off as planned
at 1889 Broadway, but there won't be
any cars on hand. II probably will be
another week before there is anything
to show.
One dealer finds that his factory is
close enough to this city to encourage
owners TO 60 and get their cars for
themselves. In the last three months
more than thirty buyers of Standard
cars drove their new possessions nome
from Pittsburgh.
The situation isn't quite as bad
around Indianapolis as IN other auto
mobile centres. Cars going east, west
north or south usually make the trip
through indianapolis, and the INDIAN
apolis factories are not slow to take
advantage Of this fact. 1t Is hard'
even for Indianapolis. TO get cars INTO
towns east of Pittsburgh, but TO other
points she is having little dihlculty.
For instance, last week Premier
shipped 121 cars, at the rate OF o'-'-
cars a wear.

St. Lucia. the only one Of the ISLANDS
whose chief town, Castrles, possesses
harbor facilities that permit the steam ,

areas of highly cultivated and fertile
land. Curious symmetrical mountain
peaks rising abruptly out of the sea

sides being a very charming place.
whose fine hotels and thriving business
houses. together with many a lovely
home. bespeak the prosperous condition
of the inhabitants of this outpost OF
Britain's empire. Barbados boasts a
denser population TO the square mile
than any other country IN the world,
with the exception of China, and the
numbers of automobiles met with on
its perfect palm-fringed highways indi-
cate that its people arc fully alive to
