Coz. Frederick 3. Gardner's
Appealfor National War
Savings Day, June 28th


Where's, June %, 1918, has been designated as National
War Savings Day by Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, by the Secretary of the Treasury, and,
Whereas, The State of Missouri has already SUBSCRIBED
for tVUenty-one million dollars of its seventy-one million
dollars quota, but has been surpassed by at least one other
State in the Union, and,
Whereas, War Savings Stamps issued by the United
States Government are sold upon the most favorable terms
and in such denominations as to be in reach of the humblest
citizen,
Now, therefore, l. Frederick D. Gardner, Governor of
the State of Missouri, do hereby proclaim Friday, June %,
as Wa Savings Day throughout the State. l urge all citi-
gems to comply with the request of the President to suspend
business and labor throughout the State for a portion of
that day that all may devote a few hours in the service of
the Government and attend War Savings meetings in each
community and assist in making National War Savings Day
a success, that the State of Missouri may lead in this, as
she has led in other war activities. Let the farmer 60 from
the pillow, the professional man from the office, the business
man from the counter, the mechanic from the shop and the
laborer from his task, to the community gathering on the
18th, and for an hour all be, as it were, on the firing line,
real partners with the Government and the boys in France,
Belgium and Italy in the war.
May all your efforts place Missouri's subscription to
War Savings Stamps at the maximum mark, that our State
may continue to lead in everything essential to the success
Jul prosecution of the war.
In Testimony Whereof, / have hereunto set my hand
and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of Missouri.
Done at the City of Jefferson this 4th day of June,
A. D. 1918.

Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never
thought of it, but this disorder
is due to a lack of moisture in
the residual matter of the food.
IIf you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take
lots of outdoor exercise, you may
be able eventually to overcome
lit entirely. In the meantime use
the most mild and gentle laxa-
Itives. Strong and harsh cathar-
tics take too much water out OF
the system and make a bad mat
ter worse. Chamberlain's Tab
lets are easy and pleasant to
take, and most agreeable in eff
feet. Give them a trial.

Doing Without Wheat

Bread and milk make a meal; so
will mush and milk.
Bread and potatoes go together POI
tatoes and gravy are just as nourish-
ing.
Toast and fruit are fine for break
fast; but any other cereal with fruit
will stay the stomach as effectively.
Griddle cakes, mullins, all sorts OF
quick breads, can be filling and appe-
tixing without any wheat.
After all. what we have to do is eat
less bread. Often we eat bread to
convey other food; we even use bread
to push mouthfuls upon the fork.
There Is one test. Wherever bread
is used for convenience. that is the
place to leave It out.
Habit tells us to use bread; the
body's needs tell US only to provide
sufficient nourishment We must
learn to think IN terms OF aourishmeni
and not let habit hinder us.
Changing our habits IS none to-
easy. But Il IS no easy task to WIN
the war.
Going without wheat whenever We
can is one thing we can do 70 win th'
war-perhaps the largest contribution
We can make ~. S. Food ADMINISTERS

The Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed.

People are often very much
disappointed to find that their
family physician is away from
home when they most need his
services. Diseases like pain in
the stomach and bowels, collie
and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many in
stances proven fatal before med
icine could be procured or a ply
stefan summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie and Diara-
hoea Remedy. No physician can
prescribe a better medicine for
these diseases. BY having it in
the house you escape much pain
and suffering and all risk. Buy
it now; it may save life.

Reports which have been circulated

Administration officials have said
there is no necessity for further con

phatically by F. q. Mumford, Federal
Food Administrator for Missouri.
NO statement Of the kind has been

tual position Is that our surplus until

Far from intfmating that further
conservation in wheat is not neces-

United States Food Administration IS
exerting every effort now to the saw

months. Every person who can do y
Is asked to eliminate wheat entirely
from his diet until the next harvest.
Thousands Of persons throughout the
United States have pledged them
selves to eat no more wheat until
that time.
Wheat Situation lie Serious.
Herbert Hoover, in an appeal to the
American people which was read in
all the churches Of the country recent
ly, declared that the situation with re.
gard to wheat is the most serious In
the food supply OF the Allied world.
II the minimum wheat requirements OF
our armies and the Allies and the suf-
fering millions in the Allied countries
are to be satisfied, our consumption OF
wheat in the United States until the
next harvest must be reduced to ap-
proximately one-third Of normal, Mr.
Hoover said.
1T is uncomfortable that we should
fail in this crisis" said Mr. Hoover,
"For each Of us who a personally
contribute to the relief of human sui

All elements of our population cannoI

vent serious suffering at home It Il
