ABANDON STYLES,
UNCLE SANS PLEA
TO WOMEN HERE

Uncle Sam today asked women to
abandon styles during the war.
The Defense Council woman's COM
mIttee launched the appeal:
Wear the clothes you have. so
man-vower now engaged on feminine
fads and fripperies may be released
for real war service at home or
abroad
Disregard Style.
Buy at reasonable prices regard
less Of style. Don't refuse to buy a
gown because there's too much or too
OF what we have. Allow the unen-
lIghtened men to find fault with you.
Do not draw on the labor market to
create useless things; It is poor polit-
ical economy and poor patriotism"
Insistence OF women on something
exclusive" to tickle her vanity and
open the foodgates Of envy in the
next door neighbours house was
strongly advised against in the COM
mIttee's statement
Women rushing into khaki also was
decried because at puts the women

Women VIII See IL.
The wisdom OF using up present
styles and having fewer styles dur
ing the remainder Of the war to con-
serve man power will be seen by
American women, the committee be-
lieves.
Mrs. Joseph Lamar, who issued the
statement, said:
Americas women are wholeheart-
eddy devoted to the nations interests
and will make real feminine sacri-
flee OF style to help Uncle Sam win
the war"

MUST
UNRAVEL TANGLE
OVER FOOD BILL
IT'S up to President Wilson to save

It's up to President Wilson to save
the food control bill.
The President had before him to-
day the three plans now before the
Senate. They are:
/. The House bill, controlling only
food and fuel. but containing bone
dry" prohibition.
.. The Senate Agriculture Commit
tees bill. controlling food, fuel. steel.
copper, lumber, cotton, wool and va.
rious other necessities, with whiskey
prohibition only.
3 The Gore substitute, combining
the controlled list TO wheat and coal.
and containing whiskey prohibition,
with authority to the President TO
stop beer and wine making.
Awaits Word From President.
The President Is expected to sub
init to the Senate a solution OF the
situation which, as It now stands,
will surely bring about the defeat OF
the bill. Sentiment in favor OF the
Gore substitute is growing because
1t contains a minimum OF the things
which have been causing the objec-
ton to the TODD control plan.
Senators today pointed out that the
Agricultural Departments report In
dictate the most abundant harvests in
practically all crops except wheat
OF all foods except wheat. they ar
gued. there will be no real necessity
for controlling any OF the important
commodities except wheat. There
was a feeling. however, among many
OF these same Senators that the Gov
eminent ought to be given some au-
thority over other articles of prime
necessity.
Amendment COmplIcateH,
The prohibition situation faces a
new complication as a result Of Sem
ator Sheppard's declaration yesterday
that he will try to force consideration

resolution has been reported favor
ably by the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. He has taken a poll which indI-
Gates his measure will receive the
support OF siXty-hve Senators, he
says.
Many Senators, including some Of
the ''wets." favor the Sheppard reso-
luton because II would take the pro-
hibition Issue out OF Congress and
put II up to the States. There is a
feeling among the leaders, however,
that II would be unwise to plunge
the nation into the internal dissen-
sion the adoption OF the Sheppard
resolution would cause while the
country is straining every energy
and resource to win the war

Hands Banner A Bouquet

To get out a good, live news
paper is indeed more of a tasI
than a good many people realize
and its not always that one is
handed bouquets-in fact some
times its entirely opposite, if you
happen to step on somebody's
toes-but Judging by the many
compliments, that we receive,
from time to time, we feel that
our efforts are being appreciated
and that the Banner is doing
some good.
A couple days ago we received
a letter from Mr.. w. F. Nelson of
the Nelson Real Estate Agency of
Minneapolis, which we take great
pleasure in publishing. Mr.. Mel
son is known by many here in
Circle, owning considerable land
east of town, and is known to be
a real booster. Having been in
the real estate business for a
number of years he consequently
knows of what value a good, live
newspaper is to town and there
fore, having been a reader of the
Banner for sometime past, takes
liberty of writing us a few kind
words stating frankly what he
thinks of our efforts. Here IS
his letter:

For tOdays lesson on physical cul-
ture present the stretching exercise
It's very simple and beneficial.
Difference in weight and height has
everything to do with the size of the
various parts Of the form. For in
stance, it would be impossible to say
that the calf should measure 10
inches, thigh % inches, ETC., unless
the exact height were specified. A
figure may be plump with round
curves or slender with long, graceful
lines, and both be termed good figures,
the main point being that the lines
are shapely and in proportion.
This column is not only meant to
perfect the body, but to also give a
new air to the carriage, a spring to
the walk; in fact, an entire new air
to your whole being. Even the eyes
will have brightness which they
lacked before and when you take
your walk, whether it be to the store
or for stroll, how light and easy
the body will seem to move along No
effort whatsoever to walk few miles
For short or stout people try the
stretching pose. There isn't much
work attached to this, although it will
work wonders. 1t consists mainly of
stretching all the muscles in the ell
tire body, first to one side then the
other, going from the ordinary stand
ing position. Raise the arms straight
ahead in the position shown above,
trying to touch an imaginary some
thing in the air, extending the left
arm in the same manner toward the
floor; stretch the body and rest its
weight upon the right leg, which will
