WHAT THE KAISER KNOWS

The governments food pledge asks very little of the indi-
vidual American. So little, in fact, that there is grave danger
that the individual will overlook the importance of doing that
little, day in and day out, over a period, if necessary, of years.
But when the kaiser heard of this food conservation by in
dividual Americans he considered the movement such a men
ace to German victory that he spent large amounts of money
and employed large numbers of agents in this country to frus-
trate it.
What is important enough for the kaiser to spend time and
money to prevent is important enough for every individual
American citizen to help to accomplish. Food will win the
war; Americans must supply it.
But it is only by strict, painstaking, daily attention to the
governments very modest request that we Americans can in
sure the success of the war food conservation campaign. Each
individuals part is so small as to seem trivial, but the total, if
every one does his part, will be tremendous.
The kaiser knows in his heart that if every one of Ameri-
cas- 400 million souls eats a pound less wheat flour a week
America will have a badly needed extra 133OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat to ship to its European allies.
He knows that if each of us eats one third of an ounce less
meat fats every day we will have $685. 900 tons more fats a year
for the war.
He knows that if each of us eats an ounce less meat a day
our allies.
He knows that if each of us eats an ounce less sugar a dy
we will have 4, iS5OOO tons more sugar a year.
He knows that if we individual Americans do save these
things, allied Europes hungry will be fed and kept contented
in the fight against his starving hordes; and that he, therefore,
hasn't a chance to win the war.
He was smart enough to realize that if his agents in this
country could sheer the food saving idea out of the individual
Americans mind he would stand a mighty good chance to win
the war.
DON'T LET THE KAISER TALK YOU OUT OF DOING
YOUR LITTLE BIT OF FOOD CONSERVATION DUTY EVERY
DAY. During this week join with the other millions of Ameri-
cans who by banding together. each performing his own small
part, are going to ensure victory in the world war for dem
ocracy. -

STYLES AND PATTERNS

Garments and shoes are high priced. When retail custom
toners protest the answer they receive is that raw materials
are scarce and dear. The federal government adds its warn
ings against waste which are seldom needed by shoppers with
money to spend. Americans have not yet begun to deny them
selves anything which they can afford to buy. They may save
for themselves, but they do not think of conserving supplies
and resources for the sake of their country or our allies, yet
there are many ways of saving without stinting that would &C
complish much without the slightest inconvenience or depriva-
ton.
In trade circles the lessening Of the number of styles, pat
terms and weaves is being considered as a means of reducing
waste. Such a policy is practical and could be adopted without
creating friction if all merchants would cooperate. 1t could
be done in such a way as to leave average wasteful Americans
in ignorance of the fact that they were being forced to ecOno-
mize without their consent.
Take the shoe and garment trade as examples. At least
twice a year manufacturers offer to the trade a lot of freak
styles which they call distinctive" and "excusive' in retail
advertisements. Retailers buy assortments of these styles to
Given up their stocks and window and salesroom displays.
They do not expect to sell all of the freaks, so they charge
higher prices for what they do sell. The left-overs they either
throw on the bargain counter or resell to "slop-shop" dealers.
From beginning to end of the manufacturing and merchandise
ing process we have unnecessary waste.
Let us take the ultimate consumers end of it. The person
who buys an extreme" garment or pair of shoes almost in
variably tires of it before it is worn out. Even when the style
takes well those who buy early soon see the same thing or a
cheap imitation of it in the "slop-shop" That kills it on Fifth
avenue and the freaks are thrown into the discard.
War has made such waste almost criminal. Our industrial
establishments cannot keep pace with trade and government
requirements. Retailers make unusual profits because the
people have become competitive buyers. From top to bottom
we have a sellers market in which prices have advanced be
end is still being made to be w~asted-New York Commercial.

In England the liquor traffic laws prohibit the sale of in
toxicants after half past nine in the evening. Both vendor and
consumer are penalized and the law is enforced by the infic-
ton of heavy fines. AT Blackpool two men of wealth and So
cial position lost track of the time of day in a discussion of the
merits of their motor cars which were standing outside the inn.
Two policemen came in at ten minutes past ten and saw two
glasses of liquor standing in front of the motor enthusiasts.
The court fined the inkeeper fifty pounds or three months, the
bar maid five pounds or one month and the two gentlemen who
had ordered drinks after hours twenty-five pounds or three
months apiece, it being their first offense.
AS long as there is money in selling liquor contrary to law
men will take chances in England as well as in the United
States or elsewhere, but the English plan of severely Furnishing
the consumer as well as the vendor is a strong check to illicit
selling, which at least rObs drinking in prohibited hours and
places of its convivial. features. English newspapers give pub
licity to such cases and violations of the law are not too numer-
Gus to mention.
If those who buy and consume liquor in violation of the
prohibition laws of half the Union were punished in this way
the popularity of prohibition would be tested. In the south
prohibition has been enacted for the benefit or discipline of the
colored race and the white people seem to get what they want
when they want it. The number of men who vote for prohibi-
ton and then disregard the law is amusing, but they would see
nothing funny in it if the law was enforced as the restrictions
on hours of sale are in England. Some state prohibition laws
provide penalties for purchase and consumption, but little is
goods" in transit. Americans are too fond of making laws for
the other fellow.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys il Bach
Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid, which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliigvng
you to seek relief two OF three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and you kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink. 6

of the
Gods at Palace

The peculiar distinction of William
Fox's mammoth spectacle, "a Daugh-
ter of the Gods" is it's cosmopolitan
character which makes it's equally in
taresting to all nationalities. While
the picture beautiful" is being played
in the. principal cities of America, it
is also shown simultaneously in Eng
land, Canada, Australia, Argentina
and many other countries. AS soon
as the present war is ended it will
undoubtedly win equal popularity in
the lands within the actual fighting
ztne. The fame of Annette Keller
man, the swimming and diving star
Of the production, is international. The
story of romance and adventure by
land and sea, with its flavor of cara
ban Nights" and the tabled Easc,
to young and old everywhere.
Another distinction of this produc-
ton is that it is played exclusively
a. a legitimate attraction. Too big
and massive for the average picture
house, it is handled by regular the
att es only.
AS the result of this attention and
of the love of beauty which marked
the making of the picture, "a Daugh-
ter of the Gods" is the most satisfy
ingly artistic entertainment now be-
fore the public. The comic scenes
cheer up the veriest crouch, while the
swift action and the marvellous pano-
ramas of tropical nature, fairy at
and the feminine form di-
vine" give the spectator two and
half hours of delight. The attraction
will be seen at the Palace tonight,
starting at 8 o'clock, and tomorrow
matinee at 2:30 and tomorrow night.
