out until the United States is able to
throw its forces into the field" Yet
because of its low price in relation to
corn, wheat so urgently needed abroad
is even now being fed to livestock in
America. AS to pork, the outlook for
production is at best uncertain because
at the present time and for some time
past the price of hcgs has not been
high enough to cover the price of the
corn fed to them.
AS Nation we have directed our at
tention mainly to saving food already
produced instead of mainly to produc
ing more food, which would make
rigid conservation unnecessary. Surely
1t is better to produce IN plenty than to
consume our energy in the difficult task
of stretching a short supply. In Europe
conservation measures have been diff
cult to apply. dangerous to the morale
of the people, and (short of actual ra-
tioning) ineffective in producing results.
They are properly the last moasurer
against food shortage. Production is
the first. How some of the steps which
are necessary to increase production
may be taken was indicated by the
representatives. OF three millions OF
organized farmers, acting through the
Federal Board Of Farm Organizations,
in their address submitted to you on
February sth.
If the foregoing IS true, then the
danger is so pressing and the results Of
the threatened food shortage will be so
disastrous to US, to our Allies. and to
the neutrals who depend upon us for
food, that vigorous and immediate
action for producing more food is the
first thing needed for our own safety
and welfare, and for winning the war.
There is only one power in America
able to meet this emergency. and that
power is Yourself All Americans look
to the President. Unless YOU inspire
the action needed, it will not be taken.
The time is short and the emergency
has passed beyond ordinary control.
Without your help the scourge of food
shortage will fall on cur Allies and on US.
Very respectfully.

THANKSGIVING, 1918.
By the President of the United
States of America
A proclamation.
II has long been our custom to turn
In the autumn of the year in praise
and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to US
as a nation. This year we have spe-
cial and moving cause to be grateful
as to rejoice. God has in His good
pleasure given us peace. 1t has not
come as a mere cessation of arms, a
mere relief from the strain and trag-
edy OF war 1t has come as a great
triumph Of right. Complete victory
mas brought us, not peace alone, but
the confident promise of a new day as
we'll, In which justice shall replace
force and jealous intrigue among the
the nations. Our gallant armies have
participated in triumph which is not
marred or stained by another purpose
or selfish aggression. In a righteous
cause they have Won immortal glory
and have nobiy served their nation in
serving mankind. God has indeed been
4 gracious. We have cause for such re-
'Ajoicing as revives and strengthens in
us all the best traditions of our ma
tional history A new day shines
about us, in which our hearts take
new courage and look forward with
new hope to new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
Divine guidance in the performance
OF those duties and Divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or pur-
pose, and pray that in all that we. do
we shall strengthen the ties Of friend
ship and mutual respect up which We
must assist to build the new structure
of peace and good will among the ma
tons.
Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day of Novem-
Der. next, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer. and invite the people
throughout the land to cease upon that
day from their ordinary occupations
and in their several homes and places
Of worship to render thanks unto God,
the ruler of nations.

TO AVOID AND
RELIEVE INFLUENZA
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.


Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard OF
influenza. The more you fear the dis
ease, the surer you are to get 1t. Go
right about your business and forget
it. AS the disease is spread principal
ly by contact thru sneezing. coughing.
or splitting, many health authorities
have advised that everyone wear a
gauze. which is washed daily and sat
urated with a one to five hundred
solution of zinc sulphate in water, and
then dried before wearing over the
nose and mouth. You should avoid
crowds, common drinking cups and
public towels. Keep your strength up
bv taking lots of exercise in the open
air and plenty of nourishing food.
If you have any of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions, flush
ed face, headache, feverishness, rest
lessness, weakness, or irritating cough.
give up work at once and go to bed.
This will save your strength to help
overcome the disease. Put your fee.
in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with
some such mild and non-irritating
physic as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets. Drink principally of hot lemo-
made and then cover up with plenty
of clothes in bed SO as to get a good
sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take a dose of two
Anuric Tablets every four hours, FOL-
lowed by drinking at least a glass or
two of hot water Anuric Tablets
help quickly to relieve the soreness OF
the muscles and bones from which
most patients complain and help the
kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief. Employed as a gar
gle, in same strength as made for use
in the nose. and as hot as can be
borne, it quickly arrests soreness and
dryness in the throat
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease, so that there is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tender
cy and fortify the patients strength,
insist that he keep in bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at
this stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an
iron-tonic tablet called "Irontic,,' or
that well known herbal tonic, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
the past two generations.-Adv.

single unpleasant thought of what may follow. EATONIC Tablets, good tasting, quick acting, and absolutely harmless, have already proven an un- told blessing to thousands of people.
 One or two EATONIC Tablets after meals work wonders. They sweeten and purify the stomach by neutraliz- ing .he trouble-making acids and gases and stop the gripping pains of indiges- tion and other stomach and bowel disturbances.
 And the best part of it is-you can eyour own judge. Justtry EATONlC. Let your own stomach tell you the truth. If you are not pleased then they don cost you one penny.
 Druggists are amazed at the astop- ishing reports from EATONIC users. who have found EATONIC a quick. wonderful relief for stomach ailments.
 So We tell you to get large box os EATONlC from your druggist, whom you know and can trust, and then if EATONIC is not suited to your case, return 1t to your druggist at once and get back your money. That's fair square offer. Every person Is urged to make the test. Let your own stomach tell you sbe truth. So start using EAIONlC today.
