TAZEWELL'S FLOUR SUPPLY

There are, approximately, 5000
homes and 10000 people-all told, in
Tazcwell county. The average in
every home, is IL barrel cf -four for
each member Of the family, per year
The baby and smaller child an. will
not consume & barrel each, but allow
ing for company, was>agc, etc, it will
be found that the average Of one bar
rel q year for each member of the
family, will prove out about correct
every time 1t will be seen at once
what a large quantity of wheat the
county needs yearly for its own sup
ply.
Thirty thousand people means thir-
ty thousand barrels of flour Multi
ply this amounts by 5, the average
number of bushels of wheat in Il
barrel Of flour, and you have the
nice bin of wheat containing $50
thousand bushels.
Is this large amount of wheat ne
cessary? Can we live on less? Sup
pose we could save one barrel, or
even n half of barrel, per family,
each year? III the 5000 families or
homes it can he readily seen that
there would he = large saving. Can
it be done? Il all depends or do
ponds largely, upon Tie persons VIII"
deal out the flour in the kitchen. u
depends upon how Inany dogs hoes,
-four barrel. II depends upon how
much children are allowed to vast"
and how much cold, left over bread
goes into the garbage can. With
wheat at over $500 Il buShcl, and
flour from $1,000 to $1,000 Il barrel
feeding useless dogs, eats and even
hogs on biscuits is costly, almost
criminal, waste ut amy time. BY Il
sensible, rcasonahlc-not misery,
economy, the people of Tazcwcll can
save, each year, not less than 5000
barrels of -four. Corn bread, buck
wheat -four in season, is cheaper, and
at the same time more nutritious thar
the wheat flour we buy now. Wha;
are we going to do about it? Ii j.
not advocated here, or anywhere else
that we know of, that any one SHOULD
adopt Il misery, stingy, starvation
policy, only that we all should b'
sensible and reasonably economical
which we should be in times of peace
as we'll rs in times of war. Al tn,
same time it should he Remembered
that we are ut war right now, an'
our battles must be fought with tn,
bread rather than with bullets. w,
must help feed those who are doin.
our fighting for us now, else, pcrhap
in the future we may be forced t,
fight and live on war rations through
out the United States.

This is mild form of Indigestion
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or food not suit

eat solwly, masticate your food thor

at all for supper, you will more than
likely avoid the sour stomach without
taking any medicine whatever. When
