FOOD ADMINISTRATION NOTES


One hundred and eighty million per-
sons in Europe are facing starvation
and they are not Germans or Austri-
ans either. In planning to help feed
these unfortunates the United States
food administration is giving the peo-
pc OF this country a chance to be the
worlds benefactors and to win the
world over to a larger faith in. the
American people.
Patriots are not having fourth meals
Three meals a day are enough. A
fourth meal uses some Of the food that
should be on its way across the At
lantic in cargo ships-food that this
country has pledged itself to send.
The church supper should never be
made fourth meal" it should take
the place of the third regular daily
meat. Whatever we do should be done
with the thought in mind that we are
pledged to send so per cent more food
to the allies this year than last, and
this means that among other ways OF
saving we must not indulge in so

LAST OF THE AoHENzoLLERNs


Kansas City Times: His house OF
dreams has collapsed. What must be

But yesterday he saw himself a
world dictator, his shining armor
dazzling the nations, Today he is a
fugitive. the last of the HohenzoI.
lerns. Not since Napoleon has there
been such downfall Never has there
been one so sudden, so dramatic. Less
than four months ago his armies were
battering their way toward Paris Sue
cess seemed within his grasp. Then
under the swift strokes of, FOch the
organized power of the free people
beat him down.
1t would be ananifestly impossible
to hold him the sole instigator of the
colossal crime against humanity that
has now run it's course. Associated
with him were the militarists, the
aristocracy, the intellectual leaders,
and supporting this pirate crew was
a nation trained in that harshness and
cruelty that found expression in the
atrocities of Belgium and northern
France.
Yet he stood before his~people and
the world as the symbol and incarna-
ton of that arrogant and unscrupu-
lous spirit which sought at no mat
ter what cost in blood and cruelty to
overwhelm Europe.
In him eliminated 500 years of the
Hohenzollern tradition, the fantastic

DERIVING cruelty.
After the disappearance of the czar
he fingered on the stage, in the last
imposing survival of a past age, a
strange, almost uncanny, combination
of the medieval and the modern.

the proper measures
Thus Count Terauchi, the Japanese

disorders in Russia spreading to the
Russian possessions in eastern Asia

Yukoo Zukio, former minister OF

the allied effort to crush German
militarism, the minister upheld the

That's what thousands Of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking toaics, or trying to patch UP
poor digestion. they are attacking the
reel cause Of the ailnaent- clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing, healing way: When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have q bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods.
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub.
ctitute for caloulel.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a

School Board Opposed Closing School,
The board of education was called
into an informal session with the
physicians to the board of health
and the mayor yesterday. The board
took the position that it did not think
the situation was serious enough to
warrant closing the schools, but that
they would abide by any action Of
the board of health.
DR.. Fegers held the view that the
situation was critical, and that there
was no telling when the disease
might become continent.
at is just scarletina now" Dr.
Fegers said, but there is no telling
when it may take a continent turn"
1.-THE reports of the board show
that there was very little of the dis
ease the two weeks of the Christmas
holidays" one of the local doctors
said in discussing the doctors meet
ing, land it was felt that to close
the public buildings now, would
check the disease"
Father George Giglinger was will
ing to abide by the order of the
board, but objected to putting the
time, limit at four weeks, thinking
that it might not be necessary to
stay closed for that length of time,
he said, and that it would not alarm
people so much If time limit were
not stated.
The mayor and the physician to
the board of health say that if
necessary the order can be rescinded

that Sunday school sessions may be
held, but only with adult members

DON'T LET YOUR
BUSINESS SLUMP
Merchants Must Do as Much Bust
ness In Five Days as They
Did in Six or Lose
Business.


The fuel administrator says mer-
chants will have to do as much bust
ness in five days as they formerly
did in six days-or lose business.
That means speeding up If the
average is to be maintained. The
publics needs will not be reduced but
their inclination, however, will be to
do as they have been doing.
Therefore, it is the merchant who
will have to exert his influence to
speed up the customer.
1t is customary now, and has been
for years in some of the large cities,
to close at noon Saturday and to
open stores at $3.50 and to close at
5 p. m.
This is equivalent to closing full
day each week.
The volume Of the business of
these merchants has not been re-
duced-it has been diverted to other
hours.
The problem of the Keokuk mer-
chant is to concentrate six selling
days into five.
The Gate City can help.
Reaching into thousands of the
best homes in this city and nearby
territory The Gate City can bring
these customers into the stores on
Tuesdays and the other four days of
the week in such numbers as to off
set the time lost on the one day of
closing.
More space and more emphasis in
your advertising in The Gate City
