Have you stopped to wonder why
the wholesale price Of flour is less
than $11 a barrel when 1t went as
high as $15 last summer, and threat
ened to keep mounting? Have you re-
membered that the farmer is getting
more money out of $40 or s11 flour to-
day than he got out of $14 or $15 flour
six months ago?
Ne, you haven't thought of those
things. You just know that prices are
high, and you wonder why somebody
doesn't do something about It," If
you stopped to think, maybe your tone
would change from complaint to won
der Prices are high, but the wonder
is that they are not far higher, when
you come to think of it.

Plenty Of Food But

Thousands Of People Get No
I1ourishment From The
Food They Eat

Thousands of people who are pale,
thin, weak and rundown are literally
starving to death because their system
In it's weakened condition is unable to
take up the nourishment which the
food they eat contains. To such peo-
pie Father Johns Medicine is of great
value because it has vast food value
and the pure, wholesome nourishment
which it contains is easily taken up by
the weakened system and turned into
tissue, muscle and flesh. Because of
the fact that Father Johns Medicine
is guaranteed free from alcohol or
dangerous drugs in any form what
ever it is the safe tonic and body
builder for younger children as we'll
as older people. Begin taking it to-

ST. MARGARET's ACADEMY
GIVE Benefit FOR JUNIOR
RED cROSS-ScHOoL
LEADS IN ITS OUTPUT

Rehearsals for the annual class
play have a new meaning to seniors
of st. Margaret's Academy this year.
Every hour spent in perfecting lines
and "stage business" is looked upon
as doing a. ''bit" for Uncle Sam-as
the entire proceeds of the entertain
ment, "The Empress Helena" which
will be presented Wednesday after
noon, May 49,, at the Studio Recital
hall, will be given to the Junior Aux
iliary of the Red Cross for the
Soldiers Convalescent Home fund.
This, however, will not be the first
time that St. Margaret's girls have
come to the fore in Red Cross. In
deed their response to the call for
junior service might easily be COM
pared to the ringing answer of the
United States to the French battle
cry, Ills ne passeront Pas!"
One hundred per cent of the school
membership of 375, from seniors down
to the tiniest Kindergarten, are en-.
gagged in Red Cross work of some sort.
Surgical and hospital garments are be-.
ing made and the Belgian and French
refugees are coming in for their share
of st. Margaret's. endeavors.
According to per capita, st. Mar.
garet's Academy has done more work
for the junior Red Cross than any
school in the country" Mrs. o. A.
Schall, chairman of the Junior Auxil-
larry of the Minneapolis chapter, said
yesterday. Il can't say enough for
the wonderful work the students there
have done and not only their sewing
work is to be commended but their
record system is so perfect that it is
one any business firm might be
I proud Of"
Although St. Margaret's Academy
has played an important part in all
patriotic movements since war was de-
clared it was not until December that
| it crept up to the top carrying off the
banner for Red Cross activities. Every
student in the high school gives one
| afternoon week-to the work. The
making of surgical dressings has been
| entrusted to members of the senior
class who devote every Wednesday
afternoon to the work. On the same
afternoon each week the juniors sew
on hospital or refugee garments. On
Monday afternoons one division of the
| freshman class meets. The sophomore
class sews on Tuesday afternoons, as
does also the other division of the
| freshman class. The commercial
classes meet Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons and these classes add the
finishing of sweaters to their other
sewing.
If particular assignment requires
more than ordinary care in the MAX
ing, the regular sewing class takes
over that assignment and donates tc
it all the time necessary for it's com
pletion. The children in the grades
help the good work by giving their
sewing periods each day to the max
ing of refugee garments in particular
