Official Washington is getting
around to the belief that this var is

There was ONE hope among certain
members of the cabinet that the war

That the German submarines are
doing immense damage is admitted.
But that they will be able to bring
England to its knees within the near
future now seems out of the question.
Great Britain will have enough to eat
during the balance of 1917, with the
probabilities that it will be able to
withstand the submarine blockade
during all of 1918.

We suppose We'll have to keep right
on wishing, but we can't help but
wish now and then that our American
people were given complete informa-
ton with regard to the war situation.
We are not getting it, of course--it is
not intended that we shall get it, and
maybe we ought not TO have it, but
that does not affect the longing for
the whole truth. We read in the
morning, for instance, that Germany
is about to collapse and in the after
noon we End that it is able to fight
for three or four years yet. We read
in the evening that the allies are
growing stronger and stronger with
each passing day; and then the next
morning we find hat ii will require
all of Americas strength in men and
money to hold the Germans at bay
for the next two or three years.

The officers of IN army must be
obeyed, whether or no,a nd it is the

The Nations Greatest ConServer Of
Foodstuffs
Dear Madam:
Not only from an economic but also
from a scientific standpoint bread from
wheat flour--GARLAND FLOUR--is the best
all around food that nature produces.
It builds bone, delicate nerve tissue
and tough sineW. 1t makes soft damask
cheeks and steely muscles. It gives
stamina and strength.
Give your family more bread,
rolls, biscuit and things made from
GARLAND FLOUR. Give them the food ele-
ments their bodies need and that GARLAND
FLOUR contains generously in easily
assimilated form. At the same time
effect a real domestic economy.
Very truly yours,
