IN REGARD TO M1Lx.

LottaNille, Ind. Jan =.
Editor Times:
Everybody Is interested in something
20 eat. and most everybody is interested
in the high cost OF something to car at
the present time. There is nothing very
strange about the high cost of some
thing TO eat rs everything is produced
BY labor and labor costs about four
times what il used TO. so it costs about
four times as much TO produce a bushel
of potatoes or a quart OF milk as it
did when men would work . hours 2
day for 800 and 60 more work than
you can get done now for $500. r.
people in towns are getting big wages
we farmers have got to pay big wages
to get workers, and II we don't get
workers to raise the crops you fellows
in town could not get enough 10 eat If
you did have a lot Of money.
IN regard 70 the high cost of living.
TIE FIST thins the town people go to
kicking on is eggs. butter and milk.
ANY food is high or low IN cost only in
comparison With other foods Of similar
nature. Eggs aud butter are high com
pared with other fods. but milk costs
less than most other common foods and
Is more healthful than most foods and
besides in itself IS a perfect food.
At this time a good housewife Is 60
ing TO know something about the nu-
trative value Of the food she buys and
make her purchases accordingly and &C
cording 10 the table / am going To give
here she will never fail to have q good
supply of milk. and I believe this table
is perfectly correct:
IF porterhouse steak is worth SIC per
ID, milk per quart, 2Ic.
II round steak is worth Csc per h..
milk per quart, 2oc.
II hamburger steak is worth 25c Ter
lb., milk per quart, 1qc.
If eggs arc worth 45c per doz., milk

IF ham is worth Acc per ID, milk per

Vow folks study the comparisons and
then buy plenty Of milk and help your

For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied # good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or SI00 for
extra large size, get a bottle of 2emo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,
wounds and chafing. 1t penenates, cleanses

about 10000 000 people in the United

WHO WILL KEEP
BOYS AT THE FRONT ?

While American soldiers in the
trenches in France are exerting every
energy to drive back the Hun, and are
snxiously awaiting the promised supply
Of ammunition from the United States,
firmly believing that their loved ones
at home Will send them the bombs so
necessary TO success at this time. there
has been a startling reduction OF work
ing forces right in Wilmington. where
the United States Government looks for
the bulk OF It's ammunition.
The dupont Powder Company few
days ago received a rush order from
the United states Government for a
special make Of bomb, very simple IN
construction and easily made by women
and very urgently needed in France.
Every day the order is delayed means
danger at the front. The work Is not
hard, the company furnishes free trans
portation from the heart OF the city to
its plant and is paying good wages and
vet Is unable TO secure sufficient help
TO rush the order fast enough to supply
the demand for them from our soldiers.

feeling OF hopelessness that leads more
often 10 incorrigibility than to reform.
The Judge was obviously amused over
the paint episode. and the severity or
his remarks were somewhat tempered
thereby. However. IL cannot be said
