a natural, healthy wsy.

kidney trouble until they apply for fife i'm

ministration announces that the needs
of the army and navy and nations as
ISOLATED with the United States in the
war will be supplied by purchase from
every flour mill in the country of 80
per cen of its output.
Out of the -four bought, it was ex-
planned, the food administration will
retain at all times a reserve stock and
will ship -four to any point where the
local supply might be short.
This measure is not taken with a
view Of diminishing supplies to mar
ket," said the announcement, but is
to fundamentally further adequate
handling of transportation in respect
to army. navy and export require
ments, and a regular supply of flour
for associates in war of the United
States at favorable loading points, and
more regular flow of the commodity
and to prevent congestion and Unequal
tiles in stocks of flour owing to trans.

Notice will be sent to each mill
at least two weeks in advance of the
percentage OF utp which the food
administration desires to obtain from
them for a subsequent period of so
days.

But It viii go on uudcr conditions

the military and political dispositions
of the embattled world.
That Germany's military party will
be further strengthened by the very
despair of Germany's situation, con-
tinues to be official belief here after
a weighing of the effect of the Presi-
dents address and a digest OF such
meager news as has reached the world
from within Germany. But failure OF
German duplicity with Russia will
work and more upon the German PEG.
