WAR And MEDICINES
What Many of the Sick and Ailins
Are Learning Nowadays.

So many doctors have gone to war,
the services of comparatively few
are available at home.
Good proprietary medicines are
more widely used than ever, and
more and more people are finding out
how great their merit is.
At this time, when there is greater
need of economy than ever before,
Hoods Sarsaparilla, a thorough
blood purifier, Peptiron, real pep
sin-nux-iron tonic, and Hood S Pills,
a potent yet mild cathartie, are espe-
cially good. They are liked by all
who use them.
These medicines are remarkably eff
ficient, whether taken in conjunction
or separately. Sold by all druggists.

table oil by this time that is quite
as satisfactory for cooking pur-
poses as lard. We can use this oil

doing so we are not depriving any

made INTO croquette. Indeed, cro-

There are a good many important
things to remember in making Gro

should be thoroughly chilled after hav-

No Feminine Touches.

Even if women are not driving ambu-
lances, serving as motor car conduc-
tors or doing Canteen work, they want
to appear as though they were trimmed
down for lighting Just the same. All
those beloved feminine touches which
men have adored for centuries in wom-
en- and which have been used by CO.
Quettes since clothes were invented to
accentuate their femininity, have, to
some measure, gone by the board.
1t is a question as to whether women
are thinking about being coquettish
these days. and it is a really serious and
deep question as to whether they are
thinking about how they appear before
men.
This does not mean that they are
dowdy or careless. To the sharpened
eye women have never looked so well
as now. This military spirit becomes
them. This clean cut apparel, conserv-
ing material to the bone, makes them
look fl and fine in a time that has dis
carded fripperies.
Well. whatever the reason, whether it
is diet. activity or the caprice of fash
ion the new street Clothes from Paris
will make every woman sigh to- be
young and thin. Those short little
jackets that reach to the top of q high
girde or the bone of the hip have

to herself maternal dignity and slow
movements.

Response of Public Gratifying.

"The response of the public to our
requests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few months has
been most gratifying, and this service
alone has enabled the government dug
ing this period to provide such sup
plies as transportation to the allies
permitted. The enlarged supplies are
likely TO last for two Or three months.
after which there will be the usual
seasonal de crease in the amount of
animals coming to market. The per-
iShable character of meats and the
limited storage facilities of the coun-
try do not permit of carrying very
large surpluses of meat over extended
periods.
The administration also suggests
that in those parts of the country
where the old-faShioned home-preSer-
vation of pork is still the custom, this
practice should be extended at the
present time, as it will relieve the bur
den upon transportation to and from
the packing houses and is economical
ly sound as saving the cost of packing
operations and at the same time will
provide home supplies of pork to la st
over the months of decreased supplies.
THE food administration desires TO
repeat that it does not want to give
the impression that these are times
when simplicity and moderation of liV-
ing are not critically necessary. but
that its sole desire is to secure IN
adjustment between our different food
supplies and meet changing conditions
from time to time. and to keep the
public fully and frankly advised of
it's position with the full confidence
and reliance that whenever it becomes
necessary renewed appeals for saving
viii meet the same loyal response as
in the past"
