Chiropractic Results

The following letter from Avalon,
Pa, dated Dec. 4, 1917, gives some
idea of chiropractic results: my
son Robert, aged IL, was hurt on
the head by a fall in gymnasium
and complained afterwards of his
eyes hurting him, and we soon be-
gan to notice his right eye turning
outward and little later the school
examiner notified us to have his eye
looked after. We took him to an
optician, who advised us to get the
best specialist in the city, as there
might be an ulcer on the optic nerve
as result Of the fall, which would
probably mean an operation. The
specialist gave him glasses, saying
that was all that could be done then,
but for us to come back in a few
weeks. In the meantime we were
DR.. Witwer's success with similar
cases, we decided to send our son in
for an examination and after exam
ing his spine, he was able to locate
the cause of all the trouble and af-
ter a course of adjustments Robert
has not worn his glasses since and
his eyes are perfectly straight. 1t
seems like miracle but we give DR..
Witwer and chiropractic methods
all the thanks and credit.

The Weeks Food Fact

Every time an American refuses
to join the Save-the-Food Army q
starving baby dies in Belgium or
Servia or Poland-Poland where
most of the children under four
years of age already are either dead
or dying from starvation. Have you
a baby in your home?
The United States Food Admins
tration advises the grading of pota-
toes. According to estimates this
years crop of Irish potatoes will ex-
coed average production by 100000
600 bushels. Growers can help in
crease consumption of these pota-
toes-and greater consumption Of
potatoes is greatly desired that more
wheat may be saved-by grading,
the culls being used on the farm as
feed for poultry and livestock.
Southern potato growers associa-
lions have graded potatoes for years
and marked their best grades. In
the poor market year OF 1915 prac-
tically every car Of 10000 sent out
by one southern association was
sold direct. The buyers knew what
to expect from the association and
took it's stock at fair price while
ungraded potatoes went begging.
Other shippers associations and
many large growers have recognized
the trend of events and have begun
the grading of their potatoes because
it is progressive and profitable.
Barley flour, for the first time now
obtainable in bulk, makes delicious
breads. Miss Mildred Weigley, home

Send Boys The Papers

r. M. Adams, county chairman of
the Public Safety Commission, re-
ceived the following letter last week,
and it contains some good sugges-
tions:
st. Paul, Dec. 6, 1917.
To the Chairman and Members Of
the County Organization:
Gentlemen: Every community has
its soldiers either Somewhere in
France" or training in the various
environments, under orders. Every
one wants to show their apprecia-
ton of what our boys will en-.
counter in the fight for democracy,
and we all want to give the boys
every reason to believe that their
home people are with them from
start to finish.
The first few weeks of camp life
are the hardest, they are away from
home and friends, they miss the lit
tie comforts of home life and are
subject to unwonted activities in
strenuous training.
1t has occurred to me that the
County Organizations should ar
range to have all home newspapers
go to their soldiers at home and
abroad, as we'll as the popular mag
azines.
The newspapers Of the state have
been and are sacrificing their time
and space almost to the breaking
point. 1t seems to be the general be-
lief that the newspaper business has
felt the war from the start, to a
greater degree than any other line
should not ask the editor to donate
all these papers, although he prob
ably is doing so now and may wish
to continue to do so. Each county
unit should make an effort to reim-
burse the newspaper for the expense
involved in sending a home paper tt
each soldier or sailor who has been
called. We count on you to see that
this is done in your county.
We expect our boys to be good
soldiers" We must do our share
that no word of criticism shall fall
on us as good citizens and patriots"
trust you will take this up in a
rigorous manner although I fell the
is all that will be neces-
sary to bring forth in deeds the sim
cere appreciation every one feels for
the boys who have gone and will go
to the front. -
Accept my thanks for your kind
in this as we'll as all
matters referred to you.
Very truly yours,

THRIFT STAMP SALES
INCREASING in MORRIS
Many Adults, As Well As Young
People, Now Buying WARSAW
ings Stamps

The sale of war-savings stamps
and thrift stamps is increasing in
| Morris and as soon as the banks get
their supplies many more will be
sold. Mr.. Stanley Hunter, clerk in
the post Office, says that older people
are now beginning to invest in these
stamps and more of the larger demo-
limitations are being sold.
The government expects to raise
$2,000,0OO,0O0 in the nation by
means of these stamps and that
means that people in every locality
will have to do their share. Morris
quota is about $4,000, or little
more than SIG for every man, wo-
man and child. The stamps will be
on sale for the entire year of 1918.
These stamps have been called
little baby bonds" and they have
behind them the entire resources of
| the Government and people of the
United States. They steadily in
crease in value from the date of pur-
chase until the date of maturity, and
this increase is also guaranteed by
the government. We have explained
these stamps several times before, and
anyone who does not understand
them can get all the information
they wish by calling at the post Office
or any of the Morris banks.
Many people have wondered
whether the savings stamps and
thrift stamps are redeemable in
cash before maturity. The warsaw
ings stamps are redeemable by noti-
flying the post Office ten days in ad-
vance, but the thrift stamps are not
redeemable for the reason that they
are simply intended as convenient
method for the small savers to &C
cumulate enough to purchase the
war-savings stamps. If the thrift
stamps were redeemable it would in
volve such an amount of detailed ac-
counting and labor and expense as
to impair the practicability Of their
use. In fact, they would be more
trouble and expense to the govern
ment possibly than they are worth.
OuC1C Oduk OOCS IOL 0ApCCL W nave
any difficulty in selling the $4,000
100000 worth Of stamps, in fact the
main reason for putting on the sale
is to teach the people of the nation
to save and not so much for the
money that will be raised. The
schools of Morris will conduct CAM
paign among the children for the sale
of the stamps and they will do all
possible to encourage thrift and pat
riotism among the school pupils.
People of this country must re-
member that if the war is to be won
it will only be by the people being
united and working together. A
country worth fighting for is coun-
try worth saving for, and that is
why everyone is asked to save and
lend their pennies and dollars. /
Buy war-savings stamps at the |
post office or banks and thus strike |
a blow against the Kaiser.

SOME OF REASONS WHY
COAL is so SCARCE
Nearly Two and One-Half Million
Tons Used in United States
Every Day

1t has been many years since coal
was so hard to get as at the present
time and many people have wond-
cred what the reason is. 1t has been
said that more coal is being mined
right now than ever before and yet
hard coal is at a premium.
An article recently published in
the Popular Mechanics by H. H.
Windsor explains the whole thing.
This is what he says and he also ap-
peals to everyone to do all possible
to help safe on the coal supply:
Fifteen million people in this
country are shoveling coal today, Of
whom 100000 are firemen in power
plants and on railroads. By mid
night they will have converted g.
100000 tons into ashes. With these
ashes will be thrown away thousands
of tons of coal only partly burned.
Other thousands of tons will have
been wasted in careless burning, or
unnecessary heating of unoccupied
rooms; in the making Of electric
light which Illuminated empty rooms
and needless places. In twelve months
we have burned 00,0O0,O0O tons.
"Of late we have increased our
consumption of coal much faster than
it can be delivered; our mines are
adequate-with sufficient labor-to
produce what we need, but trans
portation is limited. During the
past year the steel industry has
used 100000 tons more than the
previous year our cotton mills, A.
100000 tons; our railroads, 100000
900 tons-while other industries
bring the increase up to 100000
tons. A single new munitions plant
alone takes the entire output of two
large mines. Our own navy and our
Allies constitute new and large de-
mand for fuel.
Goal has always been so abund
ant here we have given little thought
to saving it. We must manage some
way to save at least 100000 tons.
The damper in your stove, furnace,
or heater can help win the war; a
door in your ash pit which leaks air,
and SCOT in f1ues, pipes, and chimney
are all aiding the enemy. Weather
strips, storm sash, ash sifters, care
full firing, a curtailment of coal fuel
just as much as possible, are all in
struments of first aid to the Great
Cause. Shall we force our govern
ment to take over the coal industry
as England, France, Italy, Russia,
and Germany have already done, or
shall we relieve the administration of
this extra burden by taking the stu
alton seriously? Every owner or
of plant using coal can do
a lot. How long, Mr.. Manager, since
you inspected your boiler room, and
10 you know of your own knowledge
whether the utmost fuel econ
omy exists there, or not?
"It is of very great Importance to !
save every pound Of coal possible, /
'or if we don't, lot Of factories not
absolutely essential to war supplies
will have to close down. How much
better we should all, large and small
1sers, alike, exercise economy and
prevent embargo"

Barber Shops Close Earlier

After January the Morris barber
shops will close at $50 on every day
except Saturday and on Saturday at
10 p. m. The earlier closing is to
permit the BARRIERS to have their eve
nings after the long days work. The
public will be better served, how
ever, because the full crew will re-
main at the shops until all custom
ers are served instead Of half the
crew being away at supper from
$3.50 to 1880. Earlier closing on
Saturday night is made necessary by
the light service going off at II.
Hereafter, neck shaves will be s
cents extra.
