FoUR-F0lD Benefit

From Two Grand Medicines In Spring
You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more, or
medicines to be taken together. or al
ternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are 'incompatible"-don not agree
when closely mixed in taking-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "compat-
ible" and productive of the best re-
sults-is in Hoods >Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills. The former thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood. while Peptiron Pills
give the powerful tonic-they literally
put iron into your blood"
Hoods Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
meals-patients taking them so report
the benefit is four-fold prompt, posi-
tive. permanent. Both these medi
cines are economical and pleasant to
take.

THE SELECTIVE DRAFT IN
FOOD.

Everyone is familiar with the
process by which men have been
drafted for service in the war. The
principle of universal liability to
service for all who can be spared to
go to the front has been accepted
heartily, and before many months a
million soldiers from America will
be fighting the battles of democracy.
y Now these soldiers must be fed,
and food must be provided also for
our Allies, to exc out. their short
ened supplies. b
Food is short in France, because
Germany is cultivating portion of
the territory of France, and because
those taking the place of farmers
who are fighting are unable to main.
tain production at the former stand
ard. England is short for the latter
reason, and also because her usual
supplies of grain from the vast fields
of Australia and Argentina are now
cut largely off. Italy is short be-.
cause her men are. fighting Austria.
In short, Western Europe needs
at least half billion bushels of
wheat from this years harvest.
Where is it to come from?
There is only. one place from
which it can come-North America.
It will not be easy to spare the
grain, but we have no choice and we
shall succeed Go into the cam
paign of food conservation in the
spirit in which the French General
Petain carried through the heroic
Verdun campaign. When the enemy
was launching it's first attack, the
word came to the General from
those who were directing the cam
paign, "They must not pass" The
veteran General replied, "They shall
not pass" The world knows some
thing of the tremendous cost of
keeping that pledge, but it has been
kept; the enemy did not pass.
So the call comes to the loyal peo-
pie of America to "Save the wheat"
From all over the country the reply
is coming, "The wheat shall be
saved" The United States Food
Administration is depending on each
man, woman and child doing his or
her part to make good its pledge.
Everybody is put on his honor as
to the form and measure of the part
he takes. But does anyone dare do
less than he is asked to do in this
vitality necessary work of co-opera-
ton with our enlisted men?
