WOMEN TO AID
in FOOD SAVING
Two-and-a-Half Million in
State Working For
the War

There are 2,546,OOO women in
Pennsylvania above the age of fiji
teen years actively engaged in home
making duties and they are now be-
ing enlisted in the fight for democ-
racy. Last July 100000 pledged
themselves to aid in the conservation
of food. To-day in every city and
town and in the remote country dis
tricts school children making a sec
ond canvass to obtain the written
word of the women that they will
save food.
Just as the soldiers in the trenches
are battling against Prussianism so
the housewives of Pennsylvania are
organizing for victory. The boys and
girls who spread the alarm through
city street and country lane are the
Paul Reveres of 1917. 1t is expected
that more than a million women in
Pennsylvania will have signed the
Hoover pledge card by the close
of the campaign. The Pennsylvania
Public Safety Food Department Of
flee in Philadelphia has set a million
as the mark and from the reports
that have been coming in from any
counties this figure may be exceeded.
1t has been estimated in Washington
that If the people of the United
oleiACo COhSuIlGu less
meat and wheat each week there
would be a saving of two hundred
and twenty million pounds of each
annually. Governor Brumbaugh has
pledged the State of Pennsylvania
to contribute it's tenth to the war.
The task Mr.. Hoover sets before the
million women who will have enlist
ed here is to save two hundred and
twenty-five million pounds of meat
and 100000 bushels of wheat.
I'VE do not ask our people tc
deny themselves any food they need
for their health or enjoyment" said
a food official. I'VE are urging only
that they substitute nourishing, pala-
table foods which we have in abun-
dance for few commodities that we
must ship to our Allies. We must
send meats, wheat, fats and sugar.
There is no escape fro that duty.
Waste of food is a crime"

simple rules. Here is the, prescrip-
tion: Go to any active drug store
and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.
Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth
of glass of water and allow to dis
solve. With this liquid battle the
eye two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per-
ceptibly right from the start and in
nammation will quickly disappear. If
your eyes are bothering you, even a
little, take steps to save them now
before ii is too late. Many hopeless
ly blind might have been saved IL
they had cared for their eyes in time.
. Note: Another prominent Physician
to whom the above article was sub
mitted, said: "Bon-Opto is a very re-
markable remedy. Its constituent in
gredients are well known to eminent
eye specialists and widely prescribed
by them. The manufacturers guaran-
tee it to strengthen eyesight 80 per
cent. in one weeks time in many in
stances or refund the money. 1t can
be obtained from any good drugRis;
and is one of the very few prepara-
tions | feel should be kept on hand for
regular use in almost every family"

If there are any rheumatic possibili-
ties in soldiers system, it requires
only a few hours of standing in the
cold, wet and muddy trenches to
bring on a crippling attack. Wet feet
and clothing without opportunity to
change, long periods of exposure to
the elements, and various other con-
dtions at the Front are, of course,
extremely bad for a rheumatic sub
iect, and rheumatism therefore came
to be regarded more or less a neces-
sary evil. A very convenient and ex-
tremely effective treatment by means
of which the medical officers finally
succeeded in stopping almost immedi-
ately the torturning pain of muscular,
articular or innammatory rheuma- :
tism, gouty twinges, stiff joints, lum-
bago, sciatica. neuritis neuralgia and
other uric acid complaints, may be of
interest to civilians who are afflicted
with these forms of acute misery.
To quickly soothe and draw the
pain out of any sore muscles or ach-
ing feet and to Timber stiff Joints, all
you need to do is to bathe either the
entire body or simply the affected

Up to the Consumer.
Witman-SchwarZ Company Off
GERS to-day said that it is up to the
residents of the city to determine
whether the supply at hand will
reach. "lf any man has twenty-five
pounds of sugar in his cupboard, he
has twenty-four pounds too much, :"
is the way the wholesale grocers
put it.
Evans, Burtnett & Co. and Wit
man Bros. are selling but hundred
weight to their customers at a time
with the Injunction that retailers sell
but two pounds to consumer. Mr..
Burtnett in reviewing the situation
to-day said that if the dealers, re-
tailers and consumers show a proper
moderation in the use of sugar there
will be no real hardship. Candy
makers are suffering the most, he
declared.
Working Together.
Wholesalers and retailers are
working together with the assistance
of the Federal Food Administration
to keep the prices down. There is
no gouging because of the scarcity
and no one is piling up huge profits
at the expense of the consumer. Re
tailers are complying with the re-
quest of the administration that not
more than 20 per cent. hundred
weight be taken as profit.
Local wholesalers to-day have rep
resentatives in Philadelphia confer
ring with representative of Herbert
| Hoover, Food Administrator, who is

tion of sugar prices.

Rabbit Season Starts
With Big Slaughter

IF other hunters were as success
full as those from Harrisburg yester-
days opening of the rabbit season
was a record breaker. AS far as is
known no hunter returned empty
handed. The majority carried the

men report rabbits plentiful. Hunt

and it was a frequent occurrence to
have twQsshots fired at a rabbit from

C. Mayfield, after a brief illness,
passed quietly into the great beyond.
Col. Mayfield was the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Mayfield.
He was born near old Pine Grove,
Monroe County, July 16, 1875, his
whole life being spent in or near
| Nettleton.
/ He took advantages of the best
county school in early life, and spent
a number of years in the school room,
teaching and giving back to children
some of the best things that had
been stored away for a few years.
He was connected with the Nettle-
ton Supply Co., where he faithfully
and honestly served his many friends
and customers. At the time of his
death he was interested in one of
two concerns.
Col. Mayfield numbered his friends
by his acquaintance. He was always
pleasant. No one ever heard him
critic or speak harmfully Of any ne.
He was the soul of honor, and was so
kind and affectionate in the home.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the home Friday after
noon by Re. J. d. Hunter. Inter
ment taking place at the City cemete-

The many beautiful floral offerings
spoke tenderly of the true friendship,
and the largest crowd eve attending
"a funeral in Nettleton attested
still more strongly the many sor-
rowing and sympathetic friends of
the lifeless form of which have hean
such a true and tried friend.
A gloom has been cast that will
hang for some time over our little
town.
God works in many mysterious
ways, His wonders to perform.
