most glorious act Of the war in rails

ing defended liberty, justice and indie

U. S. PLANS TO GIVE ITS
ARMY BEST OF RATIONS

Washington. = The national army
will be well fed if preparation counts
for anything. The general staff is
working on plan to feed the more
than half million rockies who will
assemble in the Is environments for
training next fall. The variety of the
menu will necessarily be limited to the
regular army ration. In recent wars
the GRUB" of the valiant volunteer
has been the object of scandal.
To guard against repetition of such
complaints, the general staff has COM
pleted plans to train a gigantic army
# cooks before the environments open.
Within a few weeks thousands of
Young men will be modified and in
Itructed in the art of military cult
lary. When the environments open
the new cooks will be right on the Job,
ready to feed the recruits.

RECITAL

The recital given at the schoolhouse
last Monday night by Miss Corinne
Gotten, of Covington, and Miss Mary
Miller, of Whiteville, for the benefit
of the Red Cross, was grand sue
cess, The crowd was not so large
owing to the hurried preparation Of
the event, but those who heard these
two talented young ladies we're de-
lighted. Miss Corinne Gotten is one
of Covington's most popular and en-
terprising young ladies, devoting her
beautiful talent, her time and money
to help mankind, her personality is
delightful and conversation with her
is pleasing. Such energy and self
denial as Miss Gotten is showing in
her Red Cross work can not 60 unre-
warded. She is an example Of purity
and faith and could the boys in the far
away trenches only know of what she
is doing for their benefit thousands
of good wishes would go up for her
great and mutual Whiteville
News.

formation today showing the relative
amounts expended in 1915, when the
country was at peace, and to be ex-
pended this year.
Subsistence, for instance, which in
1915 was supplied at the modest cost
of S9,S00,000, this yea8dhas been pro-
vided for in the appropriation esti-
mates at $133,0OO,000.

age, which two years ago were had

600, this year will cost more than
$106,0OO,000.
Manufacture of arms, which in 1915
cost $450,000, this year will cost more
than $55,OOO,00O.
Ammunition for small arms, which
in 1915 was had at $875,000, this year

Regular supplies, which in 1915
cost $10,000,000, this year will cost
$11O,0O0,O00.
For aeronautics $45,OOO,OOO were
appropriated in 1915, while $4,000
600 already has been appropriated for

and constipation. / drank hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
helped me until / tried buckthorn
bark, glycerine, ETC., as mixed in Adj

stantly." Because Adler-i-ka fiushes
the entire alimentary tract it relieves
any case Of constipation, sour stom-
ach or gas and prevents appendicitis.

Care IN TnhercuIosIs.

Living with a case Of tuberculosis
is not particularly dangerous If the
patient and those around him will ex-
excise proper care. Sputum cups or
paper napkins should be used for all
discharges Of the nose and throat,
as well as for matter coughed up from
the lungs. Handkerchiefs should not
be used since 1t is an expensive mat
ter to destroy them, and washing them
is not safe unless the soiled handker-
chief is boiled Immediately after use.

Genial Man Always Liked.

The genial man has kind word or
smile for all whom he meets. He is
ever ready to hear with sympathy the
tale of another's grief, to give such
consolation and aid as he can He
does not feel his place in society SO
insecure that he is in danger Of losing
it by speaking to one outside of This
circle"

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
IN THE UNITED STAIES
win the War BY Giving Your Own
Daily Service-Save Wheat, Meat,
Milk, Fats, Sugar and Fuel.

One wheatless meal a day. Use
corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread
and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order
bread "a hours in advance so your
baker will not bake beyond his needs.
Cut the loaf on the table and only as
required. Use stale bread for cook
ing, toast, etc. Eat less cake and
pastry.
Our wheat harvest is far below
normal. If each person weekly saves
one pound of wheat flour, that means
15O,000,0 900 more bushels of wheat for
the allies to mix in their bread. This
will help them to save democracy.
Beef, mutton or pork not more than
once daily. Use freely vegetables and
fish. At the meat meal serve smaller
portions, and stews instead of steaks.
Make made-dishes Of all left-overs.
Do this and there will be meat enough
for everyone at a reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy cows
and female calves as the result Of
high prices. Therefore, eat less and
eat no young meat. If we save an
ounce Of meat each day per person,
we will have additional supply equal
to 100000 cattle.
The children must have milk. Use
every drop. Use butterrnilk and sour
milk for cooking and making cottage
cheese. Use less cream.
We are the worlds greatest fat
MASTERS. Fat is food. Butter is es-
sential for the growth and health of
children. Use butter on the table as
usual but not in cooking. Other fats
are as good. Reduce use of fried
foods. Soap contains fats. Do not
waste it. Make your own washing
soap at home out Of the saved fats,
Use one-third ounce less per day of
animal fat and $4,000 tons will be
saved yearly.
Sugar is scarce. We use today three
times as much per person as our
allies. So there may be enough for
all at reasonable price, use less candy
and sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar
in putting up fruit and jams. They
will save butter.
If everyone in America saves one
ounce Of sugar daily, it means 1,100,-
900 tons for the year.
Coal comes from distance and our
railways are over-burdened hauling
war material. Help them by burning
fewer fires. Use wood when you can
get it.
Use the perishable foods. Fruits
and vegetables we have in abundance.
AS a nation we eat too little green
stuffs. Double their use and improve
your health. Store potatoes and 9TH
er roots properly and they will keep.
Begin now to can or dry all surplus
garden products.
Use local supplies. Patronize your
local producer. Distance means mon
ey. Buy perishable food from the
neighborhood nearest you and thus
save transportation.
General Rules
Buy less, serve smaller portions.
Preach the Gospel Of the Clean
Plate".
Don't eat fourth meal.
Don't limit the plain food Of grow
ing children.
Watch out for the wastes in the
community.
Full garbage pals in America mean
empty dinner pals in America and
Europe.
If the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no more
than they need, the high cost Of living
problem of the less fortunate will be
solved. HERBERT HOOVER.

Our ADVANTAGE.

1t is not SO much the being exempt
from faults as the having overcome
them that is an advantage to us, 1t
being with the foIlies Of the mind as
with the weeds Of a field, which, If
destroyed and consumed upon the
place where they grow, enrich and i'm
prove it more than If none had ever
sprung there.

breeding Powers Of oysters.

The breeding powers of oysters are
simply amazing, and it has been COM
puted that 1000 full-grown parents
produce 440,0O0OOO embryos in the
course Of a year. But of these it is
estimated that only 421 individuals
reach maturity, for the mortality is
enormous, millions being washed away
and deyoured by hungry fishes

Friendship.

Friendship is a relation that defles
all the known laws of the chart of pO-
lite society, because 1t is grounded in
analysis, defies explanation and defies
something far deeper and more abid-
ing. 1t is, when found, something to
be held sacredly as the inestimable
treasure of life, as its profoundest and
most potent source Of inspiration.

MedIeIne propper for Tonie.

When using an expensive hair tonic
or hair-dressing the most economical
and satisfactory way is to use a bent
glass medicine drOpper. This permits
the exact quantity Of fluid to be de-
posted where needed at the roots Of
the hair.

The iris is supposed to be the fuer'
de-lis, or flower-de-luce of the French
coat of arms, but really has nothing
to do with the design, this being of
quite recent application. The origin

quite generally believed to represent
the head of a spear; by others the
flower Of lily, the floral emblem Of
France.

different times in its history the Rec
ord was edited by brilliant and able
men-Col. Morrison Munford, Col.
VIM. Sanford, Capt. Chas. B. Simon
ton, Townes Boyd and for the past 20
years by Hon. R, H. Green, who dis
posed of the paper on account Of his
exacting duties as postmaster. The
Leader is the only paper published in
Upton county and is one of the best
