BREAD RULING ANNOUNCED

A two-ounce bread ration was
ordered by The Federal Food Adj
ministration recently for patrons
of hotels, restaurants, and dining
cars. This allowance is about that
now observed in England. Tele-
grams went out to the food admin
istration's hotel representatives in
very State designating the new ra-
ton. Not more than two ounces
of wheat bread may be served to
anyone at any one meal except that
when rolls or bread made from corn,
oatmeal or bran are served, and
when only one kind other than wheat
bread is offered a portion may con-
sist of four ounces. Rolls may not
weigh more than one ounce each
Public eating places are now Ii
censed under the new bread regula
ton and the bread ration rule is is
sued under this authority. Hotel
representatives have been instruct
ed to see that immediate observ-
ance is given in hotels for Monday
and Wednesday as wheatless days;
Tuesday as a meatless day, Satur-
dy as a porkless day and that
there is one more wheatless meal
every day.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
OF this place, writes: 81 am user
Of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
It was one Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when /
was a child. When any of us child
rem complained OF headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
we would soon be, up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for It certainly has saved US lots OF
doctor bills. Just dose OF Black
Draught when not 50 we'll saves
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
IN use for many years In the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
II your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness. constipation, indigestion, etc,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result
Thedfords Black-Draught has been
found q valuable remedy for these
troubles. II Is purely vegetable, and

functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try L.. Insist on Thed-

the years strengthened and sweet
ened domestic happiness. Some
before the orange blossoms had
withered and the music of the we'd
ding march had died have said
goodbye to those they loved with
the first pure flaming passion of
welded life as the darkness fell on
its very threshold The separation
is bitter and sad, but the home
coming will be the sweeter and more
joyous. Yes, when the sons and
the husbands some with the higher
qualities of manhood grown fuller
and stronger and the mothers and
wives rejoice and are thankful that
they had the spirit to bid them go
and dare and, if need be, die. If
the worst comes and they sleep in
unmarked and unknown graves,
they will rest shrouded in honor,
and mothers and wives can feel in
eifable pride and joy that they
gave them for home, and country,
and humanity. Oh, brave, loyal,
heroic spirits, it cannot be that
what you suffer and sacrifice will
be lost, for from every heart and
home, and the pews and pulpits of
every creed fervent prayers go up
to Heaven that the right may tri-
umph.
Yes, it is a dark, black night, but
the sun has not gone down forever,
and the stars still shine. Heaven

ments TO minister to the men in
uniform. Great properties are will
lingly surrendered to Government
control, and millions Of wealth are
given to relieve suffering at home
and abroad. Autocracy is not over
thrown, but the leaven Of liberty
permeates the masses. Lights are
still burning in the thick, black
darkness Of the night. Out on the
>eething, surging, savage sea strong
arms, brave hearts and knightly
spirits are manning the lifeboats,
plying their work of rescue.
Right up to the line of battle
and back to the retreats and base
hospitals there are strong men car
ing for the wounded and the dying,
and young women, with hearts as
brave as ever beat in warriors
breast and SPIRITS as gentle as ever
sweetened and sanctified woman's
love, nursing and ministering to the

IA noble army whose symbols are
the triangle and, the cross, whose
field is the world, whose mission is
to help the needy. They have gone
from homes of ease and plenty to
hardship and want, encountering
perils by land and sea. They have
gone equipped not with poisonous
gases, but refreshing draughts; not
with liquid fire, but with healing
lotions; not to hurt, but to help;
not to kill, but to keep alive.
Hard as are the experiences in
any war and horrible as they are in
this, they evoke the highest quail

SAVE The HENS

Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first ofsMay means
loss of about 80 eggs to the food
supply Of the Nation. These eggs
are valuable food, manufactured
largely from insects, weeds, and
grass, garbage and waste. The
eggs, therefore, are almost wholly
net gain in human food. More
over, the hen is just as good meat
after she has laid these eggs as
before.
SAVE THE HENS is the message
that the United States Department
of Agriculture is sending broad
cast through press notices and
posters, and through its country
agents, especially in the Southern
poultry-raising sections.

fee for others, and these exalted
virtues are the material out of
which are woven the finest and
strongest texture of character.
Yes, it is dark, black night,
but the sun has not gone down for
ever. Once before in human his
tory it was darkened and "Nature
signing through all her works gave
signs of woe that all was lost" but
all was saved, not lost. For a time
it seemed that God had departed
from the world, and out of the
depths Of an agony no human sui
fering ever sounded there came a
cry of loneliness and desOlatiOn,
but He had not gone from the world,
but had come in fuller revelation of
His love. They that had been with
Him mourned and wept, for to them
all was lost. In three days the
sorrowing women went to the Sc
pulchre with spices to anoint His
body, and they met one whose
"countenance was like lightning and
his raiment white as snow and he
said unto them "le is not here
for He is risen" The darkness had
fled before the dawn of the resur-
rection morning, and we may well
think that, though unheard on
earth, the angelic choir sang new
Gloria in Excelsis in Heaven, for
man was redeemed, the grave van
pushed, and death was killed.
Our young men have heard the
country's call and answered the
summons. For some the wedding
garment has been the soldiers uni
form. Many have delayed long
enough to leave with mother kiss
of passionate devotion, it may be
the last, and grip the fathers hand
as a new pledge of filial gratitude
and love. Whose pen can write,
whose tongue can tell, whose poem
can fttingly sing of American
mothers - the mothers who with
willing but bleeding hearts, and it
may be with -dimmed eyes and
faltering voice, or it may be with
calm countenance while the soul is
filed with tumult Of an anguish on
ly mothers heart can know, have
said to their sons "Ge." They know
not where, to suffer they knew not
what, to return they know not when.
God only knows, but go wherever
the flag leads, suffer whatever duty
brings, and come home when vie
tory crowned with lasting peace is
achieved. And the wives-kindred
spirits in suffering and sacrifice.
Some have relinquished the props
upon which they 50 long leaned and
the companionship which had with

In olden tmies there was a say
ing that "when thieves fall out hon
est men get their due" Now, in
stead of falling out they divide the
territory" and honest men don't

1t is night at midday; deep,
dense darkness has come to the
world when men thought it was the
brightest day that ever dawned.
The nations with outstretched arms
and uncertain steps are cropping
their way like blind men, not know
ing over what precipice the next
step will plunge them. Social, eco
nomic and industrial conditions are
overturned. In a land dedicated to
liberty and popular government it
is conceded that to preserve them
autocratic power must be exercised
Suffering and sorrow are every
where. Scarcity has come where a
little while ago abundance abided.
Hardship and deprivations sit in
the erstwhile places of ease and
luxury. Children are crying for
bread and there is none. In homes
the world over there is only little
meal in the barrel and a little oil
in the cruise, and thousands of wild
ows are gathering a few sticks to
bake little cake that they and
their children may eat it and die,
and there is no power that can re-
plenish. Wickedness, savagery and
deviltry hold high revel, and death
and destruction, gorged with the
blood of innocence and thirsting for
more, have been crowned king and
queen of the mad nocturnal carni-
val.
What does it all mean? Why is
it allowed, and when will it end?
The wisest and some of the best.
whose faith is challenged, are ask
ing in plaintive tones these ques-
tons, and 'there is no answer but
the echo of their wailing cry"
This, in intention at least, is not
the funeral dirge of hope, rather as
word of cheer. let us not lose
heart and abandon faith and hope.
1t is a dark, black night, but the
sun has not gone down forever.
Day will dawn again, and who shall
say it will not be a brighter, There
are stars still shining. All in the
world is not evil; some good still
lives. The material is being de-
stroyed, but the spiritual is being
quickened into new and vigorous
life. Sympathy, kindness, helpful
ness, friendship and love- are not
dead These finest qualities of
character are imperishable and in
destructible. They live and will
live because God lives. The parable
of the Good Samaritan is a living
actuality repeated thousands of
times daily The hungry are fed,
the naked are clothed, and the
homeless are sheltered Jeweled
hands accustomed to rest in the lap
of ease and luxury are busy and
tired with the work of making gar
