WOMAN WHO HAD
 STORED GRAIN FOR
 FAMINE AIDED U. 5.
175,O0O Bushels of Wheat Secured From Mormon Woman in Utah for the
 U. $. Government

l. Salt Lake City, October 7-Tt was owing to the forethought and energy of a woman that the United States food ad- minstration was enabled to obtain re- 900 bushels of wheat from the relief society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). The store of grain had been saved up against possible famine and was made available to the government in a time |of great need
 The woman who was chiefly instru- mental in saving up the wheat is Mrs Emmeline B. Wells, president of the church relief society. For 43 years she carried out the wishes of Brigham
 Young in the storing of the grain.
 Young, then president of the Mormon church, taught her that some day there would be famine and he urged her to advocate saving grain. Through the medium of a paper known as the ''Wom- ans Exponent" which Mrs. Wells edited for years, she preached the storing of grain by the women of the church re- lief societies. The original work be- gan through the gleaming of the wheat fields and grew annually, until in later years funds of the society were invested in wheat, which was sold when prices were high, the money being reinvested when the prices were low Mrs. Wells travelled to every place in the west where members of tn Mormon church had colonized, preaching the storing of grain.
 With the advance fin transportation methods endeavors were made to stop the practice, but Mrs Wells has in- sisted that the work be continued. The granaries of the relief society are again being filled at the suggestion of Mrs. Wells, who is still president of the re- lief society of the church, which num- bers 4S,000 members
 Mrs. Wells is in her 91st year. She is as active as a woman of 45. She has grandsons and great-grandsons serving with the American forces abroad and one of her ambitions today is to fly in an airplane.
 Advancement of her sex has always been a favorite field in the activities of Mrs. Wells. She was an associate of Susan B. Anthony. In 1899 she repre- sented Utah women at the woman's in ternational council and congress in London, and was presented to Queen Victoria during her visit there. She has been the Utah delegate to the National Woman's Suffrage convention at diff ferent times

AMAZING CHANGE
 IN TONE OF HUNS

London, october 1s-(By the Associat- ed Press )-An amazing change in the tone of the German rulers and the Ger man press, resulting from the victorious drive of the entente allies is noted here. Contrasted with their warlike declara- tions last spring. when the Germans were making their victorious drive, re- cent utterances of Emperor William and Crown Prince Frederick are milder and regarded here as betraying their uneasi- ness and fear now when the fortunes of war are going against them. As H. frustrating this, Emperor William said in April and May:
 ''The world war cannot terminate in any other manner than by the complete victory of Germany over all her enemies. The last few months have brought us successes which justify our title to the strong peace which shall open roads to victorious German commerce."
 In July. after the great drive on the Marne, the future looked less roseate to the Emperor, for he said: The worst days of this war are still in store for Germany"
 In September, after the allies had hurled back the German invaders and were breaking through the Hindenburg lineg the situation apparently looked SC rious to the Emperor, for he said
 ''The German people are fully aware of the gravity of the present struggle which will decide it's future
 Crown Prince Frederick put no limit on his warlike aspirations in September 1917 He said them With scorn our enemies thrust back our offered hand of peace The sword must continue its bloody work until our foes are com pelled to adopt another attitude"
 By September of this year, however the crown prince was willing to con

ping officials to more seriously con sider after-war factors. A clause has just been inserted in new ship steel contracts which provides for cancella- ton of the order by the shipping board whenever it is to the country's interest to do so. Closely associated with these developments is the cancellation within the week by an eastern shipbuilding company of a tonnage of steel to be used in yard extensions. and also of a tonnage for the construction of a ma rine boiler plant at Maurer. N. J. Pro- vision is made for the termination of army ordnance contracts through an equitable adjustment for material man ufactured or under order. Contracts placed in this country by the allied governments generally are considered as being of a firm character It is pro- vided in certain of these orders that the tonnage undelivered at the conclusion of peace shall be replaced by an equiva- lent amount of other rolled material

Cleveland. O., October 23.-(speciaL) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Record breaking production in some directions has been relaxed under the effects of the influenza epidemic, though not to any considerable degree. In the east operations again are re- covering and at Pittsburg it is re- ported that less than 10 per cent of the workmen are out. The promise of new iron and steel tonnage records for De- tober still stand There is not the slightest evidence of any let up in war orders for the American and allied forces. A rather complacent view is being taken over the future of present war conditions, should peace become an actuality during the next few months. Many of these contracts are not subject to cancellation on the end of the war. It is manifest, however, that recent events have caused the federal ship

A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS s
Give california Syrup of Figs If
Cross, Sick, Feverish, Con-
stipated.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old from of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious california Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for a bottle
of California Syrup of Figs
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. See that it is
made by california Fig Syrup Com
pany." Refuse any other kind with
contempt.
