The food situation was presented BY
Herbert c. Hoover. who will be named
food administrator. The country, he
said. faces war that probably will
last from two to five years, and only
by the most careful measures can the
United States give the Allies enough
foodstuffs to keep them in the WI
with the constance demanded to bring
victory.
The Allies grain needs this year
Mr.. Hover said. will amount to about
one billion bushels. America and Can
ada, with good crops, can furnish 60
per cent Of this without deprivation
but the Allies must have, he declared
at least eighty per cent Of their needs
to keep their efficiency at the highest
average.
THAT means some deprivation for
u.s." said Mr.. Hover, but we must
fill their needs"
Food prices in the United States are
too high. and IL they continue at the
present level, he said, wage re-adjust
ments must come or the working man
cannot live.
Secretary Baker declared the out
come Of this war would show whether
the world really Is progressing.
Every resource Of the Allies, Mr.
Baker said. was near exhaustion when
the United States entered the war
There is no way to establish perma
nent peace. he declared, except thru
exercise of the superior power Of the
United States.
Secretary Daniels asked the editors
to "get 1t into the heart Of business
men that 1t Is a crime to make more
out Of the war than q normal profit. >

The purpose OF the expert limita
tions and trading with the enemy bills
were explained by Secretary Redfield
who said the measures were necessary
as a protection for the country's com
merce and resources.
The governments attitude towards
labor was discussed by Secretary Will

he sa,d. would be attempted without
first giving the government a chance
to mediate between employers ant

Before leaving for the east, H. A.
Campbell, with Company l, from the

versity of Washington, was in the city
over the weekend to visit his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Campbell.
Campbell left for the school on the
18th of September, preferring that line
of service on account of his keen inter
est in telegraphy. After an examina-
ton which was recently given at the
school, Campbell was chosen as one
out of five of the 40 men who had en-
tered with him, to be sent on to Har-
ward university to complete the course.
He expected to leave this afternoon

Soldiers Buy Bonds

The following letter written by
Everett Prouty, stationed at the Off
GERS training camp at Fort Sheridan,
Ill, to w. F. Winchester, shows the
spirit of our soldier boys and the eff
fort they are exerting to make the
liberty loan a success:
Fort Sheridan, Ill, Oct. IA, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Winchester:
The soldiers in camp are buying
many liberty bonds. Our company is
doing it's bit The first night we
bought $10,500 worth in 80 minutes.
The camp so far has subscribed for
$4,000 worth and plans to take ST.
100000 Quite unusual think, for
soldiers to partly pay their way, but
only shows how sincere they are. |
was able to take only 800 now and
am sending a money order for 500.
We pay the initial 81 here and COM
plete the payment at our local bank.
Tomorrow at 700 a. m. we go into
the trenches to live, fight and dig
for a week The mud is thick and it
gets quite cold before morning, but
this is the kind of life that makes or
breaks men. I do not know how my
chances are for a commission at the
end of this camp, but hope luck will
be with me. Sincerely,
EVERETT PROUTY.

four weeks of that and then twelve

to get transferred Saturday. One OF
the colonies bet $1,000 that we would
be home for Christmas dinner, and

home for Easter, and both bets were
taken in. Two other fellows got q
months pay bet that we won't go
across. No one seems very much
afraid of getting shot. The way thu
allies are going we won't get there 1T

THE SENATORSHIP SITUATION

The late Senator Husting stood by
the flag, first, foremost and all the
time. In selecting his successor Wis
cOnsin must elect man who stands by
the war policies. III all the measures
of the government, Senator Husting
was a pronounced supporter of the
government at Washington, in vivid
contrast to his colleague, and the next
senator must be of the Husting stamp,
In the campaign to be waged there is
little doubt but that it will be waged
about the ideas upheld by Husting on
the one hand and La Toilette on the
other-for this country fighting autoc-
racy to the end as against the other
idea. The liquor and other questions
may creep into the campaign, but the
paramount issue is likely to be the
policies pertaining to the war. If this
question il, raised all others should be
dropped and win a victory for loyalty.
The people cannot afford any other re-
suit
The next senator, be he Republican
or Democrat, should be loyal through
and through. National politics is
above state issues and the people of
the state must show their militant 10y
atty in the outcome.

Poisoned by Thousands =!

The victims of auto-intoxication are
many thousand every day. By reason
of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria are
sent all thru the blood channels and the
victim feels tired, sleepy and headachy,
or the brain doesn't work as usual. The
best treatment for this is to drink hot
water before breakfast plenty of
water all the day long. And procure a
supply of Pleasant Pellets" made
of May apple, leaves of aloes, etc,
with no calomel and entirely vegetable
which can be obtained at almost any
drug store for 25 cents vial Invented
by DR.. Pierce forty or fifty years ago.
Equally important is it to cleanse kid
neyS and bladder, and drinking plenti-
fully of pure water will cleanse them tc
a certain extent Then obtain at the
drug store little Anuric This is tc
be had in 5O-cent packages at almost any
pharmacy Anuric should be taken be-
fore meals and you will soon find the
wonderful effects, as it is many times
more potent than lithia and seems to
dissolve uric acid as water does sugar.
