ersaof the st. Francois County Bank
met Monday, in the Office of that in
stitution, for the purpose of re-organ-
iziHg, and for thesfransaction of such
other business that was deemed neces-
sary. The rcsultsof the meeting was
the reelection OF the same Board Of
Directors. The one change that was
made in the management was the
election of w r. Halle as President,
J. d. Mitchell fresigning on account
of press Of other business.
The new, President. Mr.. Halle, is
unquestionably' the right man in the
right place, being a thorough bust
ness man, of large influence and un-
questioned integrity. While he also
has considerable private business to
look after, he can be depended upon
to give that important place his close
personal attention. With such man
as W. 7. Halle "on the Job, the in
fluence he will exert will have a
steadying and substantial effect on
the business Of that institution, no
matter what the financial conditions
may be in the future.
w. u. Bess, popular and well
qualified young man, well known in
this community, was also elected as
Assistant Cashier, which should also

ment for that institution.

The annual homecoming celebra.
ton and basket dinner, which has for
many. years past been observed by the
Libertyvillc Christian church, will be
held this year on the third Sunday in
May, the 18th. Those occasions arc
always eagerly looked forward to by
ihany, from far and near, and are al
ways largely attended. The Times ed
itor has received an invitation TO be
present, with the assurance of a
bountiful feed by the hospitable peo-
pie of that splendid neighborhood, and
general good time. 1t would afford
US great pleasure to be present on
that occasion, and we intend to be
there, the Good Lord being willing
providing we can "pick up" ride.
These, are the days when the APP
petite often has to be begged. In
which case you should visit the Old
Reliable Meat Market. The chances
are 1000-to-1 that your appetite will
no longer remain dormant after look
ing over the enticing line of meats
and vegetables, which is "Uncle
Toms" speciality.
At meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation, which was held last Thursday
evening, all the present teachers were
re-employed for the next school year
With the Single exception of Miss ia
cobs, ewho,was not an applicant. The
salaries of all teachers were also in
creased. The Times is particularly
pleased to note also that it was de-
cided to discontinue the teaching Of
German in the public schools, substi-
tuting therefor the French language
While it may seem to some that the
action of the Board of Education was
too long delayed, the delay was caused
from fear of disrupting the units by
which the pupils are graded. Whether
or not this was sufficient reason fol
the delay in this important matter
should not now enter into the dis.
cussicn. The members Of the. Boa=e
are as loyal Americans as are to b,
found in the community, ard theil
course in this, natter was; ,suggestat
by their interest in keeping the schoo
up to the highest stage of efficiency.

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
/. Householders to use not to exceed
total Of III pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IL pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound Of cooking -four, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing n total
of more than two ounces Of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds Of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth Of barrel of flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight Of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, By delivery Of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
in other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 20 per
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-05-10

cent Of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March i.
s. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, tlours, and meals, corn.
barley, buckwheat, potato flour, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever except very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use OF
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-tO-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
tuOot DuIlS VI lle community ltSS aDib
to adapt themselves to so large q pro-
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to-
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army. we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by a further limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure rs nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
Of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.

Prominent Georgia Physician Rec

Patients.

DR.. J. T. Edwards of Fayetteville.
Ga, one OF the best known men,
bers OF the medical profession in the
state OF Georgia, makes statement
that will undoubtedly produce a
profound impression throughout
America.
I'm my thirty years of active prac-
tice as licensed physician in the
state of Georgia. says Doctor Ed
wards, 81 have never seen anything
to equal Tanlac as medicine to
produce results. | hear people on
all sides telling of the benefits they
have derived from its use.
"Tanlac is simply the talk OF my
town. | have no hesitancy in rec
ommending the medicine; and as a
matter OF fact, | am prescribing it
for my patients almost every day.
Only a few days ago we'll
known woman of Fayetteville came
to me and told me about the re-
markable relief her daughter had
gained from the use OF this medi-
cine. She SAID her daughter had
been confined to her bed for three
years with what had been pro-
nounced pellagra, and that after US
ing Tanlac for short time she was
able to be about, and was on the
road to recovery.
But this is only one instance.
People in all walks OF life in and
around our little city are giving sim
liar endorsements to the medicine.
Seldom a day passes that someone
does not come to ME and say some
thing about the good results they
are getting from the use OF Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in weight
have been reported by some OF our
most prominent people. and have
treated some stubborn cases OF in
digestion, catarrhal conditions, and
organic disorders and secured splen-
did results with Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Ardmore bv
Coleman Drug Company and by
leading druggists and dealers every
