SWEET POTATOES FOR ARMY.

We cheerfully give space below to
copies Of two letters to reach this
Office, forwarded from Washington,
ID. c., by Congressman Watkins, who
always seems to have the best inter-
ests Of this Congressional District ac-
lively i'll view.
The communications have referente
to the addition Of sweet potatoes to
the soldier Toys bill If fare. and Mr..
Watkins has had assurance that the
suggestion will be carried out.
Viewed from either side, this is a
of tile South's easiest crops to pro-
duce, and usually a large acreage is
planted. Particularly is this true this
season. As rains have come, the yield
promises to lie abundant, and the
South will have many bushels of po-
tatoes for sale. AS the Suoth cannot
largely share in the food wants of the
Army, it would seem only fair that
sweet potatoes he included i'll the
ration, particularly as it has been
demonstrated that they can be as
easily kept as Irish potatoes and are
equally nutritious.
The two communications follow:
Gen. Henry q. Sharpe.
Quartermaster General,
War Department,
Washington, u. G.
Dear General Sharpe: My atten-
ton has heen called to the fact that
specifications for subsistence and sup
PLIES for the Army and Navy do not
list fresh sweet potatoes, although it
doeA carry this product in cans.
As the sweet potato is one of the
principal food products of the South
and ranks high among the edibles
which sustain human life, as well as
serving as a food for animals, most
respectfully, hut earnestly, recon-
mend that fresh sweet potatoes be
listed in the specifications
Vast quantities Of sweet potatoes
have been planted in the South III
response to the Presidents call fol
an increased acreage in food crops
a disastrous drought in Louisiana cut
off the other food crops. and, as it was
too late to plant other crops, sweet
| potatoes were planted in large guam
titles, and it will be doing the farmer.
who organized societies and agreed tt
respond to the call of the presiden
| all injustice to have the fresh swee
| potatoes eliminated from the specifi
| cations.
The food value of the sweet potat,
is estimated to be 30 per cent highe
than that Of the Irish potato aud 1t
keeping qualities, when kiln dried, ar
equal to that of the Irish potato.
Even without being kiln dried TIN
sweet potato is kept for a considera
bic length OF time without deterior
alton.
| While this appeal is made to yo7
in the interest Of my constituents 0
the Fourth Congressional District o
Louisiana, where enormous quaint
ties Of sweet potatoes are being raise
this year, the facts apply with elua
force to a large rart Of the South.
4 | am, with greatest respect,
Yours 4ruly,

NEW GOVERNMENT
Is SHAKING DOWN
THE COURT JUSTICES

ATHENS, oct. 25.-The new gov
eminent. which succeeded that of King
Constantine, has adopted a radical
measure toward the Supreme Court
or Arcopagos. ON the charge of hav-
ing used it's high Judicial functions, for
political ends in protecting the Off
cials of the late king, and permitting
the persecution of the Venizelos ele-
ment The chief Justice, Associate
Justice and five associate justices
have been summarily removed, and
some sixty judges of courts below the
supreme court are similarly displaced.
Such q sweeping Overturn of the ju-
dietary has never been known before.
The Minister of Justice has explain
ed to parliament that conditions We're
such as to warrant the suspension Of
the constitutional provision giving the
judiciary a fixed tenure of Office. He
referred to the dismissal of the su-
preme court and other judges as a
work of publication, and said it would
be continued until all those who had
taken a hand in politics were removed.
He cited a number of instances in
which the harsh treatment Of the Veni-
zelists last December resulted from
rulings by the courts.

According to the sources mentioned
previously Germany is alleged to have
promised the Mexican military chiefs
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico in the

autocratic power" Without selfish
ends for conquest of dominion, seek
ing no indemnities or material com
pensations for the sacrifices it shall
make, the United States must enter
the war. he said, to make the world
safe for democracy. as only one of the
champions Of the rights of mankind
and would be satisfied when those
rights were as secure as the faith and
freedom Of nations could make them.

The presidents address was sent in
full to Germany by German official
news agency for publication in that
country. The text also went to
England and summary Of its con-
tents was sent around the world to

All preparations, the president
urged, should be made in such a way
as not to check the flow of war sup

Measures to accomplish all these
ends, tho president told congress,

OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH,
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND

II YOU know OF some one who is troubled

ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and
hand it TO them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer per.
haps from total deafness In England
scientists for u long time past have recog.
nized that catarrh Is constitutional disease
and necessarily requires constitutional treat.
ment
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable TO irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven down the air
passages toN<ds the lungs which is equally
as dangerous. The following formula which
is used extensively in the damp English
climate is constitutional treatment and
should prove especially efficacious to suf.
ferers here who live under more favorable
climate conditions.
Secure from your Druggist l ounce OF
Parmint Double strength. Take this homo
and add - it !. point of hot water and a
ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dis.
solved. Take one tablespoonful four times a
day. This will often bring quick relief from,
distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy and
hearing improved as the inflammation in the
eustachian tubes is reduced. Parmint used
in this way acts directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces OF the system and has a
slight tonic action that facilitates obtaining
the desired results. The preparation is easy
TO make costs little and is pleasant TO take
Every person who has catarrh should give
this treatment a trial. Rexall Drug Store can
supply you.-Adv.
