MORE STRENGTH FOR
FEEBLE old HEOPLE

If all the old people in Americas
realized what Vinol will do for them,
We would not be able to get enough
Of it to supply the demand. We quote
from a recent letter received from
Mrs. A. E. Carson. of Kingston, N. Y.
She says: Il am SO years Of
age, and had been ailing for long
time with indigestion. got run down,
was weak, dizzy and could not sleep
at night. consulted two doctors who
said l had hardening of the arteries,
and at my age could not expect to be
strong again. My daughter would give
me no peace until l tried Vinol, as it
had done so much for her. l have
taken five bottles, and my health and
strength have come back, so am able
to do all the household work for my
family of four, and 1 am recommend
ing Vinol to all my friends"
The reason Vinol is so beneficial to
cid people is because it contains the
very elements needed to replace de-
Ginning strength with renewed vogir,
viz: beef and cod liver peptones. iron
and manganese peptonates, glycero-
phosphates, and mild tonic wine.

SALVAGE BRINGS RICHES TO IRISH
 FISHERMEN N
(By Associated Press)


 maiD fishermen along the coasts where the U-boats operate, have made some remarkable catches during the past year. The story of the fishermen who found a s15.000 box of diamonds from the Lusitania in his nets one day, and whose hon. esty in returning them to their right ful owners was rewarded by a check for S1,000, is we'll known. There is another fisherman who came home from fishing expedition with a fine new American automobile lashed to the deck of his little trawler. There are hundreds of fishermen who have made modest fortunes out of salvage of one kind or another. Wheat flour and coal salvage are all profitable business in the coast towns nowadays.
 The story of the man .who came automobile is a household favorite in the Irish ports. Accompanied by his son he was mackerel fishing when he was aroused by the report of an ex- plosion. On the horizon a cargo steamer from America was settling by the stern. It had been torpedoed. The fishermen headed for it and soon met the captain and crew in two open boats. She's loaded with American automobiles, you might get one before she goes under" said the skipper jokingly as he and his shipmates pass ed on toward shore
 The torpedoed ship was still we'll above water when the fisherman came alongside. He at once sent his son on board to look around The latter found the hold full of automo- piles. Run one out through this gangway," directed the father. With the aid of some tackle the machine was dropped into the fishing vessel. A few moments later as the trawler steamed away the ship disappeared The fisherman with an automobile is now the envy of his village.
 Many torpedoed vessels manage to reach shore where they are usually pounded to pieces on the rocks. But before the cargo is lost forever peo- pie come from miles around to sal wage it. Anything that will float is used and everyone helps himself. Men women and children attack cargo and ship, removing brass fittings and any thing else of value. Flour and canned IlodIS, II Iuito 1uu fCSSIlDiOS AOi LII eiiO larger portion of the salyaged articles.
 One village has had the good for tune to have a couple of foodships bring up on its. very doorstep. Most of the ships of course go down at sea. But this does not dishearten the alert fishermen who have been known to transfer several hundred sacks of the best American flour from a vessel while it is sinking many miles from land. If the explosion tears big enough hole in the victim much of the cargo will become loosened and wash ashore where it is quickly spied by l the watchful eyes of the natives.
 Salvage companies also are very ac tive and are making huge profits Some have transferred their whole staffs to this coast Their agents can bid on a wheat cargo withou seeing it and can tell just how ia into a sack of flour the water vii have penetrated in a given period.

CONSERVE ANIMALS.

Conservation of breeding animals az
the means to a possible increase OF
the country's me and food supply
was recently urgk by James Wilson
Of Iowa, former secretary of agricul-
ture, in an address at special meet
ing Of the National Agricultural soci.
ETY., of which he is the president. Mr..
Wilson states that the east and south
are many strides ahead Of the west in
the preservation Of farm land.
Our country" said Mr.. Wilson. "is
growing in population rapidly by natur-
al increase and by immigration. There
will be more mouths to feed in the
near future and it is imperative for us
to take care Of our soil 80 that it may
produce in an increasing ratio to meet
our increasing demand.
at cannot be said that greater
capacity to grow crops is evident so
long as 40 per cent of our farms are
rented to farmers who sell their grains
and forage crops to the deterioration
Of the soil. These farmers have not
the means to stock their farms with
livestock that should consume the
grains and forage crops grown. in this
way. not only maintaining the fertility
Of the soil but increasing the meat
product which has been decreasing
very materially. causing higher prices
because of growing scarcity and in
creasing demand.
"The older settled localities Of the
east and south are realizing the i'm
portance Of preventing soil deteriora.
ton: but the lands Of the west are suf-
fering from inconsiderate manage
ment that is beginning to tell in our
reduced totals in harvest times.
AT the present moment there
should go forth message to the Amer
lean farmer to conserve his breeding
animals, or If possible to increase them
for the double purpose Of maintaining
his soil fertility and increasing our
meat supply for the future"
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1916-1918, 1917-04-17

Only the government can now prevent
food prices from going to most oppres-
sive heights and only the government
can assure proper conservation OF
food stocks.
Il believe the solution, Temporarily
at least, lies in government regulation
Of prices. Let the federal authorities,
for instance, fix the Wholesale price of
meat That would probably result in
an automatic regulation of all prices
those paid to the producer and those
collected from the consumer. In the
event it did not so result, further gov
ernmental action might be necessary.
And let the government guarantee
to the farmer a price of, say, $3.50 a
bushel for all the wheat he can raise
this year. 1t would be safe for the gov
eminent to do that because it would
not cost the government cent and it
would certainly encourage the produc'
ton of more wheat than we have ever
raised before at time when 1t is most
needed.
Il realize that these are radical sug-
gestions and that there will be objec'
lions from individuals and firms whose
profits will be cut, but it is apparent to
me that this is not the time to consider
profits ahead OF the nations welfare"

WAR AGAINST HATRED.

Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor Of the
University of Kansas. in a recent
warning against unfair and unthinking
cans. said:
Let us make no mistake in this.
probably IS per cent Of the so-called
German-Americans in the United
States are loyal to America and are
willing to fight for this country. Let
US not ALLEVIATE this fine loyalty by
misdirected patriotism. They have
been staunch citizens in peace and
they will be staunch citizens In war
After peace has come We want no
divided country such as we had fol-
lowing the civil war. We want no
such heritage of hate again, heritage
it would take a generation or more to
wipe out.
But unless We are just we cannot
hope TO retain the respect and loyal
ty thousands Of so-called German
Americans are eager to give us. Be
talk foolishly. let us not be unfair to
the great body of German-derived
Americans who are with us heart and
soul. Mr.. Schmidt is as good an
American as though he spelled 1t
Smith
DR.. Strong at patriotic meeting Of
students and faculty spoke strongly
against militarism and hatred that
masoueraded as patriotism, but urged
untlinching support Of the president in
this hour.
Il believe that the middle west is
the soundest and cleanest part Of the
country" he said The middle west
will respond to the nations call for
men as quickly as any part Of the coun-
try. My personal sympathies are with
the allies. feel more strongly than
ever that the freedom Of speech and
press Is an ideal that must be held to
at any cost"
