would Eat a Sick Dog

London, June 2l--Food conditions m Germany are becoming worse and there ls great discontent there owing to reduction in the bread ration, ae- eording to a Dutchfnan interviewed by she correspondent of the Times at The Hagre- The Dutchman had just returned from working in the krupp nIant at Essen, which he left because he could not stand the food conditions The German people, he added, feared to gra11nble openly, lest they be sent 10 the front

VIENNA MUST GO HUNGRY,
Neither Germany Nor Hungary Can
 Furnish Austria Food.

Paris, June 22.-A dispatch from Basel, Switzerland, to the Havas agency says General Ludendorff, first suartermaster general of the German armies. in reply to an appeal to the mayor of Vienna for assistance in the food crisis, said:
 T would, from my heart, help the population of Vienna in it's serious difficulties, but it is unfortunately im- possible from German sources-more than ever before. All the inporta- tions of cereals from the Ukraine, Ru- mania and Bessarabia have been al- 10fted without exception to Austria.
 Notwithstanding the difReulities of our own food situation, placed in April, May and June shipments dis tined for the west front at the dis position of Austria. But now there .ze no more reserves Of this sort and [ am not in a position to furnish oth- CT aid.
 fn similar vein the mayor of Bud apest, after expressing his sympathy for Vienna's situation, declared it IS impossible for him to aid the mhabl- tants of the Austrian capital. He ad- aed. however, that he was passing for ward the request for assistance to the Hungarian food minister.

AUTO DEALERS WILL CUT
 DOWN PLEASURE CARS
Will Sell Accessories for Cash Only, Close Up Tight on Sundays and

Special to The Star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, June I9.-Unless gar age owners. accessory dealers and au- tomobile statesmen of Arkansas are less patriotic than those of other states, all will on July l put into force rule to do business only for cash and give no night and Sunday service except on cars that are being used in business essential to the winning of the war. Tn this manner the auto mobile dealers and accessory men hope to eliminate the automobile as pleasure car and conserve material as we'll as man power for the govern ment.
 The Little Rock Automobile Deal CTS Association voted on Tuesday afternoon to close their places at $ each day and not to open at all on Sunday. The sale of gasoline on Sun day will also probably go with this order.
 This is but a part of the nation wide movement on the part of the automobile dealers and accessory men. The government has asked it and on June l the local dealers went on cash basis. A curtailment of service will also follow, and in this way many people who run to garage or dealers for minor repairs will att tend to it at themselves, thus mak- ing it possible for the dealers to op- crate with a smaller force of mechan- ics, and release men for war work.
 The directors of the Arkansas Au- tomobile Association meet in Little Rock Friday for the purpose of act ing upon the government suggestions, and as the officials are known to en- dorse the rules put in force in Little Rock, there is no doubt but they will be adopted.

ernment Gets Majority of Hands.
 Little Rock. June l9.-The farmer of Arkansas is now up against it for labor. as we'll as meaterial Rice growers have visited Little Rock daily for some days in an effort to pur- suade Iaborers to devote their time to growing the cereal that has made Grand Prairie famous. T special train came from Texas with farm hands on Tuesday, but most of them went to government work after reaching Little Rock, only few being enticed othe rice fields.
 There is a general scarcity of socks in which to ship crops. and offers to purchase 150,000 lots at S5 cents each have failed to bring many sellers to light. The condition will mean much to the rice grower, should it continue, for while rice can shipped in bulk. as wheat, oats and corn are now being transported, the millers would be very much incopvenieneed by it's arrival in that form. The mills aer equipped for handling rice in sacks and they would have to sack it upon arrival is 1t was to be stored to advantage.
 Arkansas planter are preparing an appeal to the government for assist ance in getting farm labor. This has been done before in asking for delay in enforcing reporting under tho draft, and conditions are now sucf that efforts along this line if re newed will meet with success.

game here Friday night at the Coli,

ner or loser. The team defeated Rich

Richmond. on the same trip, defeated
the Shortridge basket shooters at In

Rushville five on the Rushville floor
Richmond fans expect the Rich
mond team to turn the tables Friday
night, however, and hand the Rush
vile aggregation the beating Of its
life.
All the Richmond men are in good
form and are going strong, Coach Null
Inns said Tuesday. The team has been
placticing hard and with the expert
ence gained in playing strong teams
naturally becomes the strongest bid
der for the district tournament, says
Mullins.
Both Rushville and Liberty are
strong contonders for district honors
and, by many, it is thought that Rush
vile will be the strongest contender
against Liberty.
The men who probably will play in
the game Friday night are as follows:
Stegman, Robinson and Van Allen,
forwards; Simmons, center; Crafts,
Harding and r. Price, guards.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Dlscoverer Tells Druggists Not to Take
Cent Of AnyOne's Money Unless
Allenrhu Completely Banishes All
Rheumatic Pains and Twfnges.

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulat-
ed impurities, commonly called uric
acid deposits. were dissolved in the
Joints and muscles and expelled from
the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin
ally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took 1t, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
Of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. Druggists
handle Allenrhu in this vicinity with
the understanding that they will free
" return the purchase money to all
who state they received no benefit.
