Tells How vinoI Made Her Strong

Bronson, Mich.-"I took Vinol for a
weak-run-down condition, and back
ache and had to keep up and do my
homework for my family of three.
Vinol has improved my condition so
that now feel like a different per-
son. Mrs. Albert Rose.
The reason we recommend Vinol
to our customers for such conditions,
is because we believe it to be the

PROVED SPIRIT
 OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America
 Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri- flee of the American people must be attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar mics and the civil pOpulace.
 Upon this spirit of service and sac rifice will depend EurOpe's fate in the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which is almost be- yond comprehension. But with the new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression, our exports must be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820,- 900 tons, we must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe in the coming through our ports.
 If the Allies had not been fed by America, 1t would have been impOs- sible for them to maintain their de fense against Germany.
 Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basis, the American people have conclusively proved that democ- racy is a success ano that in time of need 1t will rise to its own defense.
 If there were no other accomplish ment to it's credit the very fact that 1t has shown the strength of democracy has in itself more than Justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the world.
 Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet Americas action and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove irresistible.
 "Many thinking Americans" said Mir. Hoover, land the whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months in the fear that demo- cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident that it could not be done. Contrary proof Is immediately at our door, and our people have al- ready demonstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently in many di- rections and upon the mere word of inspiration aside from the remarkable assemblage of our Army and finances"
 The history of the Food Administra- tion has clearly shown that the trust of those who put their faith in democ- racy has not been misplaced.
The St. Johns herald., 1918-12-12
American Willingness to Give Up Luxury Demonstrated Ma
 tion'S War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES
By Reducing Consumption People of the United States AVerted Famine at Home in Spite
 of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons their July, August, September and October consumption of sugar proves conclu- sively that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country as a whole stood ready to fol- low the intunctions of the Government.
 Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-month period beginning with July has been 100000 tons per month, a total of 100000 for the quarter year.
 In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach Its height, consumption was reduced to 100000 tons In Au- gust only 32500O tons went into dis tributiOn and in September only 279,- 900 tons. In October the distribution fell to 23O,0OO tons.
 If the general public had failed to observe the injunctiOns of the Food Administration this country would have been in the throes of a sugar famine before the end of August. Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those familiar with the sugar situation. They feared that it would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lux ury in the American diet.
 Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre- dominantly as this reduced consump- tion of sugar. By 1t we have been able | to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops We're in sight.
 Now the nation is in a position so | that if we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and | Europe, with the release of ships to go | far afield, can maintain its recent re- stricted ratiOns. If, however those | nations are to increase their use of | sugar very considerably 1t must be by | our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump- ton.
The St. Johns herald., 1918-12-12
American Nation Maintained Al. lied Loaf Through Self
 Denial at Home Table.
INVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean Shipping Relieved, World Is Able te Return to Normal White
 Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
 crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
 can exports to Europe has been the
 shortage of shipping. Between July
 and October 10 we shipped 65,9SO ,305
 bushels. If this rate should continue
 until the end of the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 2S7, 100000 bushels of wheat and flour in terms of wheat.
 The result of increased production and conservation efforts in the United States has been that with the cessa- ton of hOstilities we are able to re turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies that have accumulated in Australia, Argentine and other hitherto inacces- sible markets may be tapped by ships released from transport service, and European demand for American wheat probably will not exceed our normal surplus. There is wheat enough avail able to have a white loaf at the con- mon table
 But last year the tale was different Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keen a steady stream of wheat and flour nov ing across the sea. We found our selves at the beginning of the harvest year with an unusually short crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of .20OOO,OO0 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine-and in Europe bread is by far the most important article in the diet.
 All of this surplus had left the country early in the fall. By the first Of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 5O,OOOOOO bushels by practictng the utmost economy at hOme-by wheatless days, wheatless meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the country.
 In January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller. cabled that only if we sent an additional 75,- OOOOO0 bushels before July could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed.
 The response of the American peo- pie was S5,OO0,OO0 bushels safely deliv- cred overseas between January 1 and July l. Out of a harvest which gave us only 20,000000 bushels surplus we actually shipped Al, 100000 bushels.
 Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread ratiOns could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last years figures will be bettered.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
 RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look in July of 1917, when this coun- try had been in the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to Paris.
 Even though the situation in Eu- rope may be gloomy today" he de clared in a public statement, mo American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di- rectiOn need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend itself in these United States"
