FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The situation is critical
IL Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens Hungry men cannot % hight
at their best; nor hungry nations France, England,
and Italy going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who fighting our battles And we
can do it without stnting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need It has given in such bounty
as was never known before Tons of corn. Train
loads of Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy7 And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Com 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section Of our country It
has bong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Cornl 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's a cereal. It's vegetable It's bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious more food value in it,
dollar for dollar. than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of ALL it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn2 About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways Of cooking tY And what you miss
by not knowing about it2 Here few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch break

No German Peace!

until the allied nations stand in
Berlin and Potsdam with their
foot upon the neck of crushed
and conquered Prussianism. No
Peace that does not remove from
the earth that cult that brought
this war about can be lasting
peace.
The apparent failure of the
Austrian drive on Italy, the fail
ure of the Germans to destroy
the Franco-English army in the
last big drive in France, and the
rapid growth of the American
overseas army is sure to bring

winning the war were blighted
by the Yankee boys in khaki.
Germany played her last trump

But because she can not win in

Belgian soil. No Hohenzollern,
no Hapsburg, no one of the
Prussian Junker, will have a seat
in the peace council.
If Germany could induce the
Allies to enter negotiations at a
time when she holds allied terri
tory, she would be in position
to bargain about peace terms. 1t
is for this she is fighting now.
The Hohenzollerns must keep
this conquered territory if they
would keep their throne and their
crown. The allies do not intend
to treat with the Hohenzollerns.
Consequently the war will con-
