the food administrator, Herbert

3America, indicate the object with
which the Women's Committee has,
through the courtesy of the editor,
instituted this column in the Demo-
crat. 1t is intended to contribute a
little material each week, for the pur-

how it may be met; and of suggesting
simple and wholesome menus for
busy housekeepers who have littel

themselves.
Mr. Hoover continues his appeal
for the cooperation of all women in
the following words: "There are mil

northern France today who for
three years have had no word of
their husbands, their sons or their

yielded in the form of licenses
and registration fees was $25, S65.
600. The revenue had increased
AZ per cent over that for 1915
and the number of cars and mo-.
tor cycles had increased 43 per
cent About % per cent of the
revenue was spent on road i'm
provements of some kind.
The use Of the cars is shown by
the population per car in the diff.

then follow California with II

BAnISH SCR0FULA
Hoods Sarsaparilla cIeanses the
Blood Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face
and body are both annoying and
disfguring. The complexion would
be perfect if they were not PRESENT.
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting Of
the muscles, a form Of dyspepsia,
and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This great medicine
completely eradicates scrofula. It
purifes and enriches the blood, re-
moves humors, and builds up the
whole system.
Scrofula is either inherited or &C.
quired. Better be sure you are
quite free from it. Get Hoods Sar-
saparilla and begin taking it today.
