There Is least OF all n doubt that
the American farmer will lag In his
response to the call of the Fourth
Liberty Loan because OF his Increased
responsibilities In other directions.
1t was Oregon. whose orchards.
farms and cattle overshadow all her
other wealth, which first hoisted the
Third Liberty Loan Honor Flag in
the West, and IL was that other
purely agricultural state, Iowa. which
barely nosed Oregon out of first place
in the national race for the honor.
Both Oregon and Iowa will be the
special marks for all other states TO
shoot at In the Fourth Liberty Loan
race. A dark horse probably will win
the acclaim due the first state
to fiji It's quota.
The answer of the nation to the
American-sized task OF raising the
American-sized Fourth Liberty Loan
must be prompt and overwhelming.
With American troops glorying In the
laurels wrested from the boasted
best trained fighting men of the
world, those at home cannot return a
less emphatic response to the call
upon them.
Let every man DO his share.

million dollars less but the Battle of
the Piave while a great victory was
attended with losses that
entailed expenditures of another mil
lion in caring for the wounded. In
so far as the amount OF money TO be
expended Is concerned. the item OF
furnishing food to refugees and fam
iles OF soldiers at the front IL given
first place in the work now being
done. This service known as Canteen
Service consists OF furnishing fiji
teen thousand rations daily which
will take fourteen thousand tons OF
food from the United States each
month and will be served from more
than one hundred kitchens. The
service will cost $3,300.0O0. The
next matter is the employment OF
those who are able to do some part
in the war. Twenty-eight workshops
have been erected in various parts OF
Italy. They give employment to
sewing machines. Appropriation
for this branch of American Red
Cross Activity amounts to SCOTT

Venetia near Pisa is caring for 1000
persons and before winter this will
probably be increased by $1.l55.OO0.

RESUME OF RED CROSS WORK
IN ITALY

The War Council of the American
Red Cross has today issued the sec
ond installment of its reports TO the
American people concerning the use
being made of the American Red
Cross War Fund. This particular in
stallment covers the work being done
I'm Italy since the beginning of the
war and the plans made for the per-
iod up to the end OF December, 1918.
In carrying out its work in Italy
the American Red Cross has appro-
prlated to July 1, 1918, the sum of
$7,939,65 The greatly enlarged
field of opportunity and obligation
in Italy has called for an appropria-
tion for six months ending December,
1918, amounting to $12.657,S37.5O.
Thus by the end or the year 1913 the
American Red Cross will have ex-
pended since the war began at least

This is a mild form of indiges'

by eating too rapidly or toe

your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little
m eat and none at all for supper,
you will more than likely avoid
the sour stomach without taking

you have sour stomach take one
