ADVICE FROM
YOUR Government |
DON'T BE FINICKY.

A new bulletin gives this wise and
much needed word to the American
people. In our work on conservation
OF food material we find hundreds of
women whose minds are not even

DO YOU MEAN
WHAT YOU SAY?

Tho preparation OF food is one OF
the Oldest occupations known. There
are many terms connected with the
preparation Of various foods that we
use daily. Still II asked for the clear.
definite meaning of the word we
would inc ourselves 'hemming and
having over It.
The W )rd shortening Is a good eX-
ample. R'ven the dictionary falls
shcvt on that definition. The time
honored book gives the statement
tho shortening is that which makes
food friable or short. AS a matter Of
facl the greater proportion Of short
eneo foods are baked
A shortening or fat is mixed with

Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water

Life is not merely to live. but to
live well, eat well. digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh
as a dasy by opening the sluices of
the system each morning and flush

The action of hot water and lime

cleans out all the sour fermentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one splendid appetite for break

breakfast the water and phosphate
are quietly extracting large vol

getting ready for thorough flush

The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime

Registration Distinct From
Draft Says War Department

The War Department makes ths
following statement:
From many letters received daily
the War Department learns that reg
istration and selective draft are be-
ing confounded. These are separate
and distinct processes. Registration
is simply the enrolling of all male
residents of the United States be-
tween the ages of q and 80, inclu-
sive. Every male resident between

lar army, the navy, the national guard
oi naval militia, actually in the fed
cral service.
The enrolling is done in each voting
precinct by a registrar appointed for
the purpose The duties of the regis
trar are mandatory and are performed
Under sanction of an oath. Nothing is
left to his discretion. He is liable to
heavy penalty, Imprisonment with no
of fine, for making false
return or in any way being a party
to or conniving at practices or favo-

r:tism or evasion. A like penalty i'm
rcnds over the individual who fails to
register.
The later process of selection will
be made by lot from the names en-
tered on the registration rolls. Full
information as to exemptions and
methods of selection will be published
later. For the present it is all-im-
pcrtant that the primary duty of reg
istration be impressed upon all who
are subject to it.
Interpreters will be needed, especi-
ally in the foreign sections of our
large cities, to assist in answering
questions on the registration cards.
Here is an opportunity for service by
those who speak other languages than
English. Schools and colleges, too,
will find in this a patriotic function.
The War Department requests that
volunteers for their work offer their
services at once to the sheriffs of
their respective counties, or, if they
live in cities of 10000 or over, to the
MAYORS.

"1n setting out to raise the first
irstallment of the $5,000,00O,000 bond
issue, it is very important for the
people of this country to understand
just how large the task is and how
they must go about it. In the first
place, our situation is quite different
from that of England in that England
had great amount of capital en-
ployed abroad which it was able to con-
vert and bring home. We have few
holdings of foreign securities and
there is no other market in which
securities can be sold. This is a rich
country, but its wealth is in real es-
tate, factories, railways and the ma
chinery of production. This property
cannot be paid into the government
treasury, nor can money be raised in
any general sense by selling property
to. each other. We see the effect of
this in declining security markets.
Such efforts depreciate capital vol
ume, disturb confidence, make people
feel poor and in that way actually
MAX tn task harder.
This loan cannot possibly be TAX
en- up by the mere conversion of bank
funds now idle. The people must an
ticipate their earnings and pledge
them in advance. The treasury allows
( payments upon installments and If
these terms do not suit the subscrib-
el's convenience he should consult a
bsnker of his acquaintance.
"The bankers must make up their
minds to lend freely, and at mod
el ate interest rate, to promote this
loan; this is great national emer-
gency, and ordinary rules should not
govern. In the first place, loans made
with these bonds as collateral, with
payments, will be safe be-
yond question, and, in the second
place, the Federal Reserve banks are
at hand to back up the local banks.

lutions and prejudices against re-dis-

sary work and all unnecessary expen-
ditures short off and concentrate on
the immense volume of work which
has to be done. Business men should
get rid of any foolish fears that econ
omy will bring on a general paralysis
of industry or trade.
There is no danger of not having
work for everybody; the trouble is
that there is more work in sight than
can possibly be done and the ques-
ton is whether we shall cut off lux
tries or necessities. 1t is absurd un-
der these conditions to talk of the
danger of unemployment, and to urge
that the people shall go on buying

"The country should Immediately
awake to the fact that it has a great
task in hand and that it cannot carry

Most of the argument against econ

economize will hoard their money.
That, of course, will be foolish, tut
if they lend their savings to the gov

issues will necessitate more taxation

the person who practices self-denial

aids the government, but provides an
offset to future taxation on this ac-
count. The individual who takes his

PACIFIC TO
ASK RAISE OF RATES

An application has been filed with
the State Railroad Commission on
chalf Of all the railroads in the
state for a general increase of Is per
cent in all intra-state freight rates
without exception, including both
class and comodity.
Similar application is being made
IN all states so as to conform with
the tentative permission obtained from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for a Is per cent increase, beginning
June l. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has intimated that unless
shippers and others interested show
that the proposed advance is unWar-
ranted the tentative increase will be
made a permanent order. With def
mite proposal before them, railway
men and shippers can talk exact fig
ures in the hearings before the State
Railroad Commission.
That the railroads need more reve-
nue. to meet the increased cost OF OPP
Grating. is no longer debated. The
only arguments will center on the size
Of the increase. The biggest shippers
in the country were saved from ruin
when the railroad strike was averted,
and the averting of that strike alone
cost the railroads between $75,OOO,00O
and S80,000,000 annually. AS chief
beneficiaries, the shippers can hard

SOUTH CAROLINA
MAKING STRONG,
VIGOROUS KICK
Officials of That State Do Not
Want COIOred Troops
There.

Together With Senators and
Entire Congressional Delega=
ton lie Makes Protest to the
War Department.
LEADING FIGHT

Washington, Aug. Ex-Governor
Manning, of South Carolina, accom-
panied by Senators Tillman and
Smith, of his state, as we'll as the
entire South Carolina congressional
delegation, visited the war depart
ment today in protest against train
ing colored troops in South Carolina.
Governor Manning said healso dis
liked the plan of sending the Porto
Ricans to Columbia, as they were not
accustomed to the view OF the south
ern negroes.
During the course of his protest,
he suggested that the colored troops
be sent to Cuba for their training.
The southern senators said they
felt sure that the racial problems OF
training the colored troops would be
solved in an amicable manner and
without friction. Some of them, how
ever, sympathized with South Caro-
lima, while others stated they believ
ed that the south was the best place
in which to train these troops, as the
people knew better how to get along
with them.
No decision has been announced
in regard to the matter.
Secretary Baker took the protest
under advisement. recent depart
ment ruling was to the effect tha
negro troops would go with theil
units to train where their units were
assigned
AS South Carolina has protested
against the Porto Ricans, this may n
given some consideration.
