plane buzzing overhead and the gray
wool and clicking needles in the
hands of the women. Two of these
women sitting in their asy-chairs
apart from the others had evidently
plunged into one of those sudden and
violent friendships which a vacation
az the seashore seems so readily to
nourish.
Said one of them: 'I'm so glad to
get away from housekeeping even
for a short time. It's so difficult to

FRESH PORK TWO DAYS

The War Department authorizes
the following:
Fresh pork is now being used to
the troops in the camps and canton
ments throughout the United States
two days in every 10 as temper
airy substitute for fresh beef. There
is an abundance of fresh pork at
this time, while the supply of fresh
beef is not up to normal require
ments. This temporary substitution
will mean the saving of large guam
titles of beef and is expected to re-
lieve somewhat the recent strained
prices for that commodity. The ac-
ton was taken on the recommended
ton of the Subsistence Division of
the Quartermaster Corps.

If you or use a little more or loss.
And now we're put back on sugar
rations again. It's a shamel Ny

He's got to have four Jumps in his
cup of coffee. / can't see that the
extra two Jumps make any differ
ence."
The discussion about their wrongs
had heated them somewhat, and they
changed the position of their easy
chairs so that the ocean breeze might
blow more directly upon them.
And yet that very day there ap-
peared in the newspapers an item
showing what remarkable things the
women Of America, fortunately so
unlike these two, had accomplished
by their food savings. Hoover, you
will remember, appeared before King
George of England. The King had
sent for Hoover so that he might
thank him for the great voluntary
effort of the American people which
had; he said, Supplied Great Britain
with the vital margin of food which
enabled her to pass over the winter"
Think of it! Dig into the real
meaning of those cold words "the
vital margin of food" The differ
ence between health and sickness,
the difference between hope and
despair, the difference between the
energy of accomplishment and the
gnawing bitter desuetude of slow
starvation.
And the food that America has
saved has been a stream of life flow
ing not only into Great Britain, but
also into France and Italy and the
other Allied countries-a stream of
life for men and women, and little
children.
And who can tell how much the
food that America has sent overseas
has had to do with our recent glori-
Gus successes between the Aisne and
the Marine?
1t seems miraculous that at such
trifling sacrifice we could do such
tremendous good.
For, as you look back upon the
rationing we have had to undergo,
can you remember any real sacrifice
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-08-27

in the way of giving up7 Any man or
woman who complained because of
bread that wasn't quite white or
sugar that wasn't sufficient should
be sent to the trenches for a while
so that the realization of what war
really is might come to them.
The very substitutes offered in
place of the rationed foods were Of
ten more palatable than the originals.
The large national advertisers
were quick to sieze this opportunity,
not only to save such food as wheat,
but to enable America to save wlln-
out suffering. They not only chang
ed their products to conform to the
Food Administration requirements,
but through the machinery Of nation
al advertising they were enabled to
tell millions of. people about these
new requirements.
Their advertisements not alone
urged the saving of wheat, but show
ed what could be used in the place
of wheat. And it is always easier to
get a man to stop doing or eating a
certain thing when you give him
something else to do or eat instead
And this we believe is a splendid
illustration of the value of the ma
tional advertising machine which has
been built up to such an extent that
it functions throughout the country
AN illustration of its value at all
times, but especially in war times.
1t enables the United States Gov
eminent and any large producer of
foodstuffs or anything else to speak
directly and forcefully to the con-
sumers of the entire nation.
Advertising is a means of reach
ing the entire thinking population of
the United States with the least ex,
penditure of time, money, ana man
power.

But today his progress was so satisfactory to the army physI- clans that they permitted him to tell the full story of the tragedy which ended with the death of Captain Whis- Ter, self inflicted at the moment of de- lection yesterday.
 In the meantime systematic search of the cantonment has failed to reveal any money which was stolen from the bank by Captain Whistler. Federal banl. examiners today began checking the banks accounts, but the interior of the building is in such a chaotic condition that 1t is expected no statement will be made for two or three days
 It tislnspired today that a note Cap tain Whistler wrote after he had decided to kill himself was addressed to a young woman at Ottawa, Kan, but army off cers are making every effort to keep secret both her name and possible rela- ton to Whistler.
 Woinalls story today differed slight ly from that which had previously been pieced together as army officers had questioned him during his infrequent intervals of consciousness.

 Mir. Kilby expressed the belief that the prohibition amendment to the con stitution would be ratified because, first, in his opinion, it is right and, sec ondly, because the people, even were they disposed against the amendment, would not entrust internal and domestic affairs to wet legislature.
 MT. Smith expressed the conviction that democrats of Alabama were not yet willing to turn all government over to Washington, and that the people at present were as violently opposed to constitutional prohibition as they were in l909
