COULDN'T HOLD

BLOOD GOT so BAD WAS ALMOST
PARALYZED ON ONE SIDE-LEGS
SWELLED UP.
LAYED OFF FROM WORK
FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS

after suffering for years and being
unable to work l am glad to say that
once more feel like my old self and
am back on the job" declares another
OF those many men who had to give up
work through poor health.
Miners, trainmen, mechanics and
men of all kinds who spend most OF
their time out of doors, often lay off
and can't even hold down their jobs
because of some blood or digestion
trouble that gradually steals their
strength and health away. Read what

FOOD SITUATION
IN EUROPE TODAY
REALLY ALARMING
MORE SERIOUS THAN III HAS EVER
BEEN, AND IMPOSES GREATER
RESPONSIBILITIES UPON THIS
COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The food
situation in the Allied countries OF
Europe is graver that it has been
at any time since the beginning OF
the war and is giving American Of
ficials deep concern. Official reports
picture extreme food shortages in
England, France and italy.
The fact that conditions in Ger
many and Austria are far worse Of
fers the only grounds for optimism
in viewing the situation.
In England and France the situa-
ton is described as critical in a ca
blegram to the food administration
from Lord Rhondda, the British food
controller, which concluded with these
words:
IL view the situation with grave
anxiety"
A cablegram came from the French
government said that the wheat crop
had been requistioned and that the
bread ration would ba cut to allow
only seven ounces of bread daily to
all persons except the very
poor and those doing hard manual
labor. In Italy conditions are not as
good. perhaps, as in either England
Or France.
Compulsory rationing will be start
ed in England Immediately, with
meats the first commodity to be put
under control Distribution. of but
ter margarine will be taken in hand
pext, and other foods will be added
as. they become scarcer. All of the
PRINCIPAL foodstuffs will be rationed
by April.
81 have repeatedly said in public
and private that there is no reason
for immediate alarm. Although there
is every reason for strict economy and
pecuniary measures" said Lord
Rnendda's message. these statements
in some instances have been twisted
into q declaration that there is plenty
of food in England and France.
The food situation in this country,
ard, l understand, in France Also
can without exaggeration be described
as critical and anxious. AS l am now
unable to avoid compulsory rationing,
l feel I will have to come with long
queues of people awaiting in the Sc
we're weather in practically every town
in England for the daily necessaries
of life"
Compulsory control of foodstuffs in
England, France and Italy was in
sisted on by the American delegates
to the Paris conference, and was
promised at that time.

OF Mrs. Fannie DOster Bradley.
On the morning of January 3, 1918,
the death angel came and took this
good lady home, to Heaven. How We
dc miss her-always bright and cheer
ful-we had learned to love her so
much, she was such pure Christian
her very presence carried a ray Of
sunlight everywhere she went.
To love her was to know her; it
seems so hard to give her up, yet we
know our loss is her eternal gain and
and only trust that after a while We
shall see her face to face and can
rejoice in the Glory land where all
Is peace and happiness, in the pres
