Parched cornmeal is the feature of
these excellent wheatless biscuits.
First the cOrnmeal-one-half cup

of peanut butter and one and a half
cups Of water. Mix the peanut but

biscuits, each Of which contains one
sixth Of an ounce of protein.

Hot Weather Hits us.
Hardest in Stomach

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-
ach this summer. We need all our
fighting strength. War work
change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is so
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds Of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take a tablet or
two of EATONIC after your meals.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1918-07-26

EATONIC is the wonderful new
compound that absorbs the harm
full gases and juices and almost
instantly drives away stomach
misery.
Instead of sudden and painful
attacks Of indigestion, after you
begin using EAT0NIC you'll for
get you have a stomach. And there
will be no more heartburn, food
repeating, sour stomach, gas pains,
or that lumpy, bloated feeling you have
so often experienced after eating. Then
your appetite-you know how hard it
is to satisfy in hot weather-eat n or
two EATONIC Tablets a half hour be-
fore meals-and you will enjoy the re-
suits and feel better in every way.
These are a few reasons why Won
should start using EATONICtoday and
fortity your stomach against the chance
trouble this summer. 1t costs only SOC
for a big package. Your druggist whom
you know and can trust, will promptly
refund your money if you are not
more than satisfied.

Save the Babies

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful We can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-five per cent,

per cent, or more than one-third. before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen!

many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantle deaths m occaGoned by the use of narcotic preparations.

Flour Rules Modified For Farmers.

Under new rule which has just been
issued by the Food Administration,
farmers who take their wheat to the
mill for grinding are granted greater
privileges in making exchanges than
under the old rule, the amount OF Hour
per month for each member OF the
family being larger and the farmer De-
ing permitted to secure supply for
longer period, practically two months
and a-half, or until October !, 1915.
The new rules provides:
"When a farmer brings to the mill
wheat grown by himself, the miller may
deliver to him on a toll or exchange
basis sufficient amount Of flour withi
out substitutes, to provide at the rate OF
eight pounds per month for each per-
son in his household or establishment,
until October 1, 1918, providing that
the farmer signs the following certifi-
cate and that the miller has reasonable
cause to believe the truth thereof"
The certificate is to the effect that the
farmer giving his name," hereby certi-
6es that the wheat delivered to me this
day at the mill Of Blank, etc., was
grown by me on my farm; that the
amount of -four to be delivered to me,
together with that already on hand'
will not give me supply amounting to
more than eight pounds per month for
each member of my household or es-
tablishment, and that l will not SELL
lend or deliver such -four to anyone, or
permit such -four to be used for any
purpose except human consumption IN
nv household or establishment" He Is
also required to sign this certificate
giving his name and address.
The Food Administrator states that a
supply of the necessary blanks will De
sent to all mills as speedily as possible,
and also calls attention to the fact that
this change in the rules gives eight
pounds per month per capita instead
of six, and that the farmers are allow
ed to procure for almost two months
and a-half instead of one month as al
present, that is to say, they are allowed
to procure at one time sufficient Hour to
last from the present time until Octo'
Der 1, 1918.
