BUY ALL THE THRIFT
STAMPS YOU CAN.

Our country has tremendous
resources. Many have believed
that these resources alone will
win the war-nothing is further
from the fact. They seem to
think that through some magl'
without any extra effort on their
part, these material resources can
be thrown directly into the war.
1t is not SO-We cannot win thus
war with values-it will only be
won by individual contributions
either in the form of soldiers,
food or munitions. We cannot
tear up steel mill. coal mines or
ship building plant and shoot it
at the Germans, but what We
have to do is to furnish money
which represents values. This
money, In many cases, must be
obtained by saving and curtail-
ing expenses. Every individual,
no matter how little his income or
how much he spends, can save
enough to purchase Thrift Stamps
regularly. 1t takes money to win
the war and Thrift Stamps help
to furnish the money to the gov
eminent.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another. Ev-
cry one should adopt diet suited
to his age and occupation. Those
who have weak stomachs needs to
be especially careful and should
eat slowly and masticate their
food thoroughly. 1t is also i'm
portant that they keep their
bowels regular. When they be-
come constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain s
Tablets to strengthen the stomach
and move the bowels. They are
easy to take and pleasant in ef-
feet.

COTTON SEED IS CALLED TO
THE COUNTRY'S AID.

The cotton seed conferences,
preparatory to the regulations
for the new season, began at New
Orleans on Wednesday. This
initial session was intended to
hear constructive suggestions
from the producers, millers and
handlers in Louisiana and Miss
issippi. The meeting was at
tended by Hugh Humphreys and
DIR. Geo. II. Denny, chiefs of the
cotton seed division of the Uni
ted States Food Administration,
and John NJ. Parker, food admin
istrator for Louisiana, presided.
the chiefs appealed to the patrio-
-tism of the industry to place the
nation ahead of individual inter
est. and asked cooperation in
smoothing and speeding the way
from production to consumption,
Mt the same time stating that the
Government would aid in seeing
that there was fair reward for
the farmers and other handlers OF
the product. The latter was one
of the most important Of all the
war commodities, outside Of all
questions of food nd feed value,
because the fibre and glycerIne
obtained from cotton seed and il
processing were entering largel,
into the manufacture Of NUM-
tions needed to carry on and win
the war. 1,-~-
There has ben much misunder
standing regarding the new order
relating to wheatless days. The
wheatless days are still on and
are more important than ever. be-
cause the wheat shortage is acute
and there is no chance Of reliev-
ing the strain until the next
crop reaches the mills. The only
way enough wheat flour for ship
ment TO the soldiers and the ma
tions abroad can be obtained is
to save it out Of consumption. TO
make sure that Louisiana will
save her share, Mr.. Parker in
stituted two wheatless days each |

duets of any kind were to be
eaten. sold. bought. handled or
used. Tie named Monday and

turning out any bread at all,
thus inflicting hardship upon the
poor. Besides, there was an I'M
patriotic minority that baked and
sold extra quantities of bread or
the days preceding the wheatless,
and even took advantage of the
opportunity to profiteer. So 1t
was decided to clear the situation
and protect the deserving by per
hitting the baking and sale of
war bread on wheatless days. In
every other way, the days are
still wheatless, and it is import
ant that they be sacredly OBJ
served. The bakers. both employ

Administration and has been as
sured that all the railroads in

the important food crop which
will also be factor in the wheat
