WHITE sREAD IS BEST.
Tho Standby Of Early Youth. the
Prop Of Mature Years, the

Kansas City Star: The question is
one OF extreme delicacy, one on
which passions are readily aroused.
and on which persons are exceeding
Iy intolerant. Still. 1t is impossible
to remain silent In the face Of the
attacks that are sporadically made
on that standby of early youth. that
prop Of mature years. that stan Of
old age. white bread and butter. !.
Doubtless there are individuals
who find 1t disagrees with them.
There Is no accounting for Quirks in
the digestive apparatus. Some folks.
can't eat strawberries and others find
eggs an irritant. There are other un-
fortunates who sare sentenced for life
to a diet from which starch is
barred, and of course they must fore
go bread. But most of US eat white
bread and enjoy it and thrive on it.
When rightly made and properly
baked, 1t is delicious to the taste and
it is as nutritious rs it is good. 1t
has the further advantage in this
age OF the high cost of living of
furnishing more nutriment for the
money than almost any other food.
The Russell Sage Institute Of Path
ology undertook to find just how
much food value the patron of
popular price restaurant in New York
got for his money. 1t discovered
that he could buy as much nourish-
ment in five cents worth of bread as
he spent thirty cents for in corned
beef hash, thirty-two cents for in
beef stew and 1885 for in tomato
salad with mayonnaise dressing.
Most people suppose they are get
ting more nutrition in graham or
whole wheat bread than they get in
white bread. Another mistake. This
isn't matter Of guesswork, for
there are elaborate tables worked
out after the most thorough expert
mentation in laboratories, . and pub
lished. for instance. in DR.. e. A.

of gluten bread 1,160, pound of
graham bread 1,210, pound OF whole
wheat bread LAO and a pound of
| ordinary white bread 1,215. The
white bread has more nourishment
to the pound than any other kind.
The notion that milling deprives It
Of its nutriment is fiction.
This doesn't mean that a person
could live comfortably on white bread
alone We need balanced ration
1t doesn't mean that sometimes,
under doctors, direction. we should
not substitute something else for
white bread. But most of us can go
on eating white bread and liking it
with clear conscience in the know
ledge that we are getting more real
food for our dime in loaf of white
bread than we can get in almost any
other way

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for Csc or
Sl.OO for extra large size, get bottle
Of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chatting.
It penctrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is clean, dependable and mex

Try It, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

A PLEDGE OF LOYALTY.

New York City in its hour of enthusiasm Is
signing a pledge of national loyalty. Not con-
tent with its many other duties, the mayors
committee on national defense asks the citizen
to put his name on a slip Of paper bearing this
declarations:
AS an American. faithful American ideas OF
Justice liberty and humanity, and confident that
the government has eXerted its most earnest ef
forts to keep peace with the world, / hereby
declare my absolute and unconditional loyalty
the o. the United States and pledge
my support to you IN protecting American rights
unlawful violence upon land and in
guarding the nation against hostile attacks and in
UNFOLDING international right.
All Of which, and more, would be expected
OF the American citizen in time Of war
The pledge is we'll enough, too, and if New
York City feels safer after gathering a few
million of the signed slips, the idea is an excel
lent one
But why set such importance on pledge Of
loyalty7 The loyal don't need it, the disIovaI
won't fulfill it. This nation surely hasn't ar
rived at the need for individual declarations of
faith If it had, we should recommend adop

CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN JULY
Both Branches Have Work Well in
Hand For Early Finish.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Cousress
faces this week a brief respite from its
labors with war legislation before
launching into what promises to lie the
most difficult and possibly the final
work of the extraordinary session. Ad-
journment around July is the goal
of capitol leaders.
With its docket cleared of all impor-
.tant measures except the food control
bill, the house is in recess until Wednes-
day, IN observance Of army registration
day and to permit southern members to
welcome the confederate veterans here
for their reunion. The senate hopes to
recess until Wednesday or possibly
Thursday to await the redraftcd war
tax bill. Members Of both branches
have promised to deliver addresses at
patriotic celebrations Tuesday.
Finishing touches remain to be made
on important legislation virtually com
.pleted including the espionage bill, the
three billion dollar war budget measure
and a few others.

GERMANY TRIES

WASHINGTON HAS
RELIABLE REPORTS
State Department Has Forwarded In

Consideration of the Officials Of That
Country.

WASHINGTON, june 4. - Reports
have reached the government from a
source described as reliable that Ger
many is attempting to get control of
the island Of Margarita, off the coast Of
Venezuela, for use as q submarine base.
The state department has forwarded the
information received to Venezuela for
the consideration Of Venezuela officials.
The exact nature OF the advices is
withheld, but officials permitted it to
become known that the report had
caused some concern at Washington.
They indicated that they had positive
confirmation Of overtures designed to
secure control o. the island, but than they
were uncertain whether the effort had
met with any degree of success.

tzucla would be party to any such

temporary. Venezuela is one Of the
South American governments that have

warfare as conducted hy Germany, al
though her technical position remains
one Of neutrality. The American rov-
eminent has known for weeks, however,
that German Influences have been ac-
lively at work in Venezuela and that
indirect if not direct means have been
used by German agents to secure popu-

1t is suggested at Washington that

ovcrturcs in the case of Margarita is
rendered very unlikely bv the fact that
Venezuelan officials could not fail TO
realize the seriousness Of passage of the
island to the control of an enemy of
the United States. 1t is pointed out
that the cession, even though tampor-
any, would be clear violation of the

LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why a Corn is so Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow.

Press an electric button and YOU
form a contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get a shock Of pain.
Instead Of trimming your corus
which merely makes them grow, Just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter Of an ounce Of frceaone. This
win cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from one s feet. A few drops ap
piled directly upon tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly. and
soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain
This drug is harmless and never in
