If there is to be a policy of recon-
struction in the United States, the
first thing to be reconstructed should
be the cost of living. Nothing else is
so important. Few things are import
ant at all by comparison with this uni
versal need. 1t is no use mincine,
matters. For the past year, only the
well-to-do, the war-workers, and do
mestlc servants have had enough to
eat. The price of food has been pro-
hibitive.
When woman who bought a quart
OF milk every day last year buys only
"a pint this year because that is all
She can afford, her children are i'll

market this year on the same income
which served her scantily last year
land thousands upon thousands upon,
thousands are so forced), her children
are ill-nourished. 1t is pitiful to see
the decent poor, the genteel poor, the
poor who strive to hide their poverty
from the world, pricing piece after
piece of meat in a butchers stall, and
leaving it all unbought.
The country has long endured this
food shortage, because it wanted it's
soldiers and its allies to be fed. The
first fruits of peace should be, if not
plenty, at least some faint approach to
iced our enemies as well as our allies.
and we are ready to do our best.
Heaven forbid that we should seek to
starve Germany, as Germany starved
Belgium and Servia; as she purposely
starved her british prisoners when she
refused to allow the plying French
women to give them bit of bread.
W. want no retaliatory measures.
That would degrade us to Germany's
level. But we do want to nourish our
own population before we nourish
hers; to bring the price of food with

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and >sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 11,S2O,-
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos'
sible for them to maintain their de
fense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ.
racy Is a success and that in time OF
need it will rise to it's own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that il
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis of voluntar!
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" sale
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole wOrlt
have been watching anXiously the las
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize t.
meet autocratic Germany. German!
has been confident that it could not b.
done. Contrary proof is immediatel.
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability t.
mobilize, organize, endure and prepar
voluntarily and efficiently in many di
rections and upon the mere word o
inspiration aside from the remarkabl
assembIage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Administra
| ton has clearly shown that the trus
of those who put their faith in demot
] racy has not been misplaced.

work requires skill and training, were
paid on the same basis.
"These $500 pressmen were receiv-
ing in 1915 SIT week, which was in
sufficient to maintain their families.
They now receive about the same
wage, so far as actual purchasing
power is concerned. Still there are
pressmen in the United States, many
living in cities, who receive a lower
wage.
Exhaustive Investigations by the
staff of the national war labor board
have demonstrated that 72 IL cents
an hour, or $3480 a week, for As
hours work, is necessary to support
family in health and reasonable
comfort. Clearwater Sun.

THE WEST COAST ROUTE

Coast route. A number of progress

and if not, this should have first con-
sideration. The Railroad Admins
tration has no funds available for rail-
road publicity, or community publicity
if you please. Therefore, it behooves
the towns in this section to take ad-
vantage of the situation and not only
boost their respective communities
but to insure the pe1petuation of the
West Coast route, which means lower
freight and passenger rates.
This West Coast route is nothing
new. 1t has been fought up and down
the line for the past eight years, but
it was left to L. A. Whitney, secre-
tary of the St. Petersburg Board of
Trade, and man with strength of
his convictions, E. M. Backus, to put
the thing over.
The. West Coast route cuts off about
70 miles over the old Jacksonville
route for those who travel to the West
Coast from any point west of an
imaginary line north and south from
Toledo, Ohio, to Tampa.
One route runs from Atlanta Ma
con, Valdosta, Ga, to Jasper, Lake
Butler, thence to Newberly and Dun
mellon, Trilby. Another route via
Jasper and Live Oak to Dunnellon.
Another line from Montgomery, Ala,
Tallahassee, Perry, Trilby. At Trilby
the line diverge-one to Tampa and
the other to St, Petersburg.
Clearwater will be represented at
the Tampa meeting and if funds are
required to advertise the new routes,
Clearwater will do it's part in contri-
butlng to the fund.-Clearwater Sun.

OUR BOYS ARE COMING HOME
By HI. L. Whitney.

By H. L. Whitney.
(Tune of Old Kentucky Home.)
The fire burns bright in the cottage
by the sea,
The mocking bird is singing all the
day,
Our hearts rejoice and are full of joy
and glee,
For our khaki boys are coming
home to stay.
CHORUS:
Then sing with joy and gladness,
Then sing with joy today,
Yes We'll sing song, for our boys
are coming home,
Yes, our khaki boys are coming
home to stay.
They sailed away when they heard
their country's call
To fight for the freedom of the
world,
With their brave young hearts left
their fresides, home and ALL
And the starry banner with them
there unfurled.
Now we shout with joy as the day is
drawing near,
The woodland and fields are blithe
and gay.
The flowers bloom bright and the sur
is shining clear.
And the birds are making music al
the day.
So We'll sing a song and will shout oul
love anew,
No more will they hear the cannon'E
roar,
But they'll live in peace and We'll give
them heroes due,
And we'll sing of their valor ever
more.

Back Hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte tWinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney region,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good drug store here, take table
spoonful In a glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lIthia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity. 1t also neutralizes the
acids in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean
thus avoiding serious complications
A weil-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
