This new conservation ia different
from that of last year in that while we
we're asked to substitute one food Tor
another last year We shall he asked 10
actually save food by eating little
less. Now there is a good reason Tor
this request.
On his visit TO Europe in the sum
mer. MIR. Hoover obligated the United
States to supply our armies and our
S. ciates in the war with lI.5So,eoV
tons-35, 600. 900 900 pounds-of FOOD

ton il is necessary that our people
buy less. cook less eat less and waste
nothing That must be our program
during the coming year. We must
keep the pledge the United states mas
made to its partners in the war.
The federal food administration
speaking thru Mr.. Hoover says
The reason is plain. More than
fifty millions people in Europe are
threatened with starvation. and even
the meanest spirit should not argue
that the war being ended our en-
beavers are like wise ended. We Will
have a bigger duty than ever TO per

THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip. or influenza as it is now
called. usually begins with chill
followed by aching. feverishness ana
sometimes nausea and dizziness, ana
a general feeling of weakness ana
depression The temperature is from
100 10 104. and the fever usually
lasts from three to five days. Inc
germs attack the mucous membrane,
or lining of the air passa ges-nose,
throat and bronchial tubes--there Is
usually a hard cough, especially bad
at night. often times a sore throat or
tonsilitis, and frequently all the ap-
pea noes of severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take purgative. eat plenty OF nour-
fishing food, remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only cure" for influenza and
will throw OFF the attack ii only you
conserve your strength. A httie
Oufnine. Aspirin or Dover's Powders
NAV he given by the physicians
directions TO allay the aching. Al
ways call doctor, since the chief
danger OF grip is in its weakening
effect on the system, which allows
considerations to develop. These are
chiefly pneumonia and bronchitis,
sometimes Inflammation Of the
middle ear. or heart affections. FOR
these reasons it is very important
b that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay, in bed at
least two days or more after the
fever has left you, or If you are over
so or not strong. stay in bed four
DAYS or more, according to the
severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining
of the air passages to throw on the
grip germs to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier vick's VapoRub will be found
effective. Hot. wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then VapoHuo
should be rubbed in over the parts
until the skin Is red, spread on
thickly and covered with two thick
nesses Of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck
as the heat of the body hberates the
ingredients in the form OF vapors.
These vapors. inhaled with each
breath, carry the medication direct

time, yapoRnb Is absorbed thru and

WHAT GERMANY HAS OFFERED.

In Offering to accept President VIII
Austria and Turkey have really gone Il
long, long ways towards an uncondi-
tional surrender and admission of mill
tary defeat. If 1t were not for the de-
sire of the democracies which have
su ffered so much in this war to remove
the power of the kaiser form of gov
ernmcnt as a menace to the peace of
the world. and to tlisarm international
desperadoes, there would he peace now
as the result of the acceptance of the
presidents platform.
In offering to accept the presidents
terms the central powers have offered
to evacuate Belgium and France and
Russia, to repair all damages done
there and to permit unrestricted auto
nomy for Belgium and for Russia.
Austria offers to reconstruct her
frontier with Italy along the lines of
nationalities affected which would give
Italy the territory in Austria now in
habited by Italians.
Germany has agreed to give Alsace-
wrong done to France in 1871 which
the President said must be righted.
The Bohemians and southern Slavs
within the Austrian empire have been
conceded by Austria the right to self
government and independence.
The central powers have agreed to
evacuate Roumania, Serbia, and Mon
tenegro, to restore their devastated
areas and to guarantee their right TO
live as independent nations.
Turkey has consented to open the
Dardanelles as public highway free
to all nations and to give up jurisdic-
ton over all parts of her empire OK
cept Turkey proper. This will re-
lease the Arnenians. the Persians, the
Jews and the Greeks from the I'M
speakable Turk.
Germany has agreed to give up her
Polish subjects 70 an independent
state Of Poland with a sea port and
a right to live.
Germany has agreed to permit the
disposition of her colonies TO be settled

now living in these colonies.

ment to the lowest point consistent

~ true that the war tax bill forced
thru the lower house OF congress by
the Kitchin committee has kept cor

Of that bill been to conhscate almost
All corporate earnings above s per cent
upon the money invested Most corr
porations in this country ana
especially the small ones can not re-
tain capital in their enterprises or at
tract future investment upon return
limited to s per cent when much less
haza rdoris business can earn that much
and not put the principal in jeopardy
at any time. The United States CIR
cult court recognized this situation in
its award in the print paper case
wherein il allowed the paper mill
owners return of 10 per cent upon
invested capital because paper mills
often lose their entire capital when
timber supply or water power gives
out Our state courts are now award
ing public utilities a return of per

Representative kitchin was urged
by Secretary McAdoo to place his war
tax on war profits, to reclaim for the
expenses OF conducting a war a large
share of the abnormal profits that arise
from conditions caused by the war, TO
levy upon the eXces tprofit earned
during the war over and above the
average or normal profits of a pre-
war period. Kitchen replied that he
wanted to reach those who were
profiteerinS before the war and pre-
scented a bill which treated as a
protiteer every hazardous industrial
enterprise which had earned more
than s per cent upon its capital in
open competition with the world be-

can earn over and above what-many
of them have been paying for borrowed
money but the cotton country failed to
come to the front and take the bonds
which the manufacturers of the north
dare not take with such tax bill
staring them in the face.
If the purpose of war tax had
been confined in the kitchn bill to
raising money small taxes upon things
that are consumed in vast quantities
would have have raised enormous
revenue without destroying industry.
Profits taxes upon war profits would
not have confscated normal profits.
Moved by the bolsheviki idea that all
property and Accommodations Of capital
should be divided up and shared with
those who have none in their own

get by congress but it helped to defeat
the liberty loan and when the stimulus
of war activity has ceased it will ruin

COUNT M|NOTTO HELD
AS DANGEROUS ALIEN
Swift Puts Up $4,000 Bond for
Son-in-Law, Whose Career Dur
ing War Is Interesting.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Count James Mi
packer. is out on $4,000 bonds today
as the result of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings following his arrest yesterday
on Presidential warrant charging him
with being a dangerous alien. The
bonds were signed by Mr. Swift and
his attorney. Henry Veeder, and the
hearing was set for May 20 by Federal
Judge George A. Carpenter.
The count who was born in Berlin
and claims to be an Italian subject.
won a fight with the federal authori-
ties last fall when proceedings looking
to his deportation were brought.
When the European war broke out
Count Minotto was employed in a Ger
man bank in London. He came to the
United States and took out first natur-
aliZation papers here. but never COM
pleted the naturalization process. AT
first he was openly pro-German. but
when Italy entered the war. he offered
to return to his fatherland as an 1tal-
ian reservist, and was refused for ply
steal reasons. Later he offered an am
bulance service to the Italian govern
ment. but this gift also was refused.
Then he sought commission in the
United States Army. but his German
citizenship prevented. He offered his
services to the bureau of naval intelli.
gence to become a United States secret
agent, but officials suspected him OF
bad faith and did not accept.
He has associated with society peo-
pie in England, the United States and
Argentina. He was a visitor at the
German embassies in London and
Washington. was a friend of Count
Luxburg. the now notorious German
charge at Buenos Aires. and also of
M. Caillaux, former French premier
recently arrested on charge of trea-
son, and with Nine. Caillaux when they
were in South America
Secretary McAdoo was entertained by
Count Mnotto when the Secretary
visited Buenos Aires two years ago
The count at that time represented
New York bank in Argentina. but
previously. while acting as agent for
another New York bank. had been re-
called because 1t was feared his pro-
German sympathies would commit the
bank to improper policies
The Department of Labor referred
the case to the Department of Justice
declaring that If Minotto were as dan
gerous as the bureau of naval intel
ligence maintained he might be in
termed.
