BUY LIBERTY BONDS

TO AND INCLUDING 5000.

Recommending that guardians and
conservators purchase of the second
issue of Liberty Bonds in amounts up
to and including $4,000, Judge Daniel
Gregg, of the La Sale County Probate
Court. is setting the pace in patriot
ism for central Illinois jurists.
Yesterday Judge Gregg announced
to a Free Trader-Journal representa-
tive that he would permit all persons
handling trust funds now in probate
to buy of the second loan, II they saw
fit to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered by him.
'Personally | believe the invest
ment to be an exceedingly good one,
said Judge Gregg, "and the guardians
and conseryators will be given my con
sent to purchase the federal issue In
quantities up to $1,000. Because of
the tax problem, and not knowing just
what the new laws will be on the sur
tax imposed by the war. am not pre-
larger than $4,000 will be allowed"
when the first issue Of 3R per
cent was made, James j Conway, your
Ottawa attorney, was the only man to
secure permission to buy bonds with
trust fund, ! allowed him to pur
chase $4,000 worth of the loan for his
son, who is minor, in the belief that
there was no better nor more sound
way of putting the money at work
Others should emulate Mr.. Conway
in the present issue, which draws
down 4G6 until the bonds are retired -
the Judge stated.
Others in Line.
Judge Henry Horner. Of the Cook
County Probate Court, Is in line with
Judge Gregg on this proposition, The
Chicago jurst has issued the follow.
ing notice to conseryators and guar

Court of Cook county: desire to
call your attention to the fact that the
bonds of our government, known as

approve such investments. These
bonds are of he denomination of $50
and multipes thereof 1t Is the duty
Of guardians and conservators to keeT
those funds of their wards which ar,
not necessary for immediate and cur

CUT BREAD PRICE
To Make City Test of Hoover
lied Loaf in Philadelphia.
Ii Successful Every City Will
Have scent Loaf.

Philadelphia, Oct. S.-Philadelphia
is to be the scene of-E1n experiment by
Herbert c. Hoover, national food ad-
ministrator. in the preparation of a
five cent loaf of war bread. It is also
proposed to establish a standardized
method of mixing and making the
bread The new war loaf will. it is
said, effect saving of sugar, lard
and milk, and yet be wholesome.
The department of agriculture, in
cooperation with Mr. Hoover, has
sent D. r. Jacobs, of the bureau of
chemistry here to instruct bakers in
the preparation of the bread Mr..
Jacobs said in an interview:
THE exact weight of the new loaf
1 cannot tell at present. but I viii say
that its size will effect a considerable
saving over present prices. After the
experiment is tried out in this city, we
shall establish the same method and
recipes in every section of the United
States. 1 anticipate no difficulty in
securing the cooperation of the
bakers, as we are satisfied that if they
able to put the new bread on the
market at a profit that will allow
them to continue business as usual
/ According to Mr.. Jacobs, the new
bread is the result of a long series of
/ experiments carried on to determine If
possible whether there might be some
way in which the steadily increasing
price of the staff of life could be low

cess, both from the chemical and me-
chanical standpoint, and Philadelphia

the athlete. who knows what a : to

one swift linqual stroke:

knocked us cock-eyed."
Then he hurried away to catch the
train which is bearing him and his
teammates back to New York, the
Polo grounds and the third game of
the series which now stands very
much in favor of the American league
with two straight victories over their
National league opponents.
In one inning the Giants had a two
run lead. Then the Sox tore thru the

night southpaw "phenom.' of the
National league: belted the careful

NOT so BAD THERE
Reports of Fort Sill Conditions We're
Mot Warranted.

Many kansas newspapers printed
recently an article from the Kansas
City Star telling of sensational condi-
tions at Fort Sill
The Star has printed since. a cor
rection, in part, as follows:
AN article dealing with the in
adequacy of the hospital facilities for
the twenty thousand Kansas and Mis-
souri, troops at Camp Doniphan, which
appeared in The Stars morning issue
OF October l, has given to relatives
OF these soldiers anxiety not warranted
by the real conditions at the camp. 1t
was stated that sanitation around the
hospital, as thruout the camp, was
high joke This is incorrect. The
sanitary arrangements are as good as
they could be at a camp not provided
with sewer system. The main fea-
ture of the article-that the hospital
facilities at Camp Doniphan are in
adequate--is entirely true.
Fortunately. however, there has
been little sickness among the soldiers
and the existing facilities. wholly in
adequate though they are for such a
large body of troops, have sufficed.
So far, no soldier has suffered and
none will suffer unless there is unfore-
seen delay on the new hospital build
ings or the present good health of the
troops does not continue. The war
department. plans for hospitals at
Camp Doniphan were ample, but the
militia of Kansas and Missouri were
taken there, twenty thousand strong,
! before those plans were executed. rs
many workmen as possible could be
practically employed are rushing up
the new hospitals. Within a few
weeks the medical departments re-
