Why Look Older Than You Are?

It is astonishing how many women. through lack of attention, are wearing corsets that give 8 more mature appear ance to the figure than it should have and conse- quently they appear to be five or ten years older than they are.
 It Is possible to readily improve that condition if you will come to our cor set department and get a trial fitting.
 See for yourself the youthful and graceful lines a properly fitted corset will give you. No expense to you-do not buy unless there is a de- cided improvement, then you should.

EATING POTATOES
is PATRIOTIC ACT
HOOVER WIRES IOWA THAT IT
MUST BE DONE OR THERE
WILL BE GREAT WASTE.

Food Administrator Deems Is in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Herbert
Hoover urging prompt action to induce
n wide use of potatoes. Mr.. Hoover
says:
Every effort must be made to get
potatoes flowing freely to your mar
kets and placed in the hands Of con-
sumers at reasonable prices that will
stimulate consumption.
ut Is suggested that you get the
trade together in large sections of your
state and devise plans with receivers.
wholesalers and retailers to get pota-
toes through these channels mt the
lowest possible margin for handling
largely during the next 80 days, as
patriotic duty
"Follow out the potato campaign as
to publicity and do all possible TO In
crease the consumption of potatoes to
take the place of wheat flour so that
at the end of the season no farmer may
justly complain that we have not done
our full duty to stimulate production
and increase consumption Of their
products.
This is most important and respon-
sibility for complete success rests with
state administrators.
(signed) HOOVER"
In addressing the telegram to the at
tention OF the county food administrn-
tors Mr.. Deems has stated that re-
ports from county food administrators
indicate that reasonable prices for po-
tatoes obtain in several sections Of the
state, but in many sections prices rule
too high to move the crop. There is
imminent danger of wasting 30,0pO,OO
bushels of the surplus crop in the
country unless the food administration
Is able to devise method of putting
potatoes into the hands of consumers
at fair price. Mr.. Hoover points out
in his telegram one way to solve the
problem.
"Will you" asks Mr.. Deems. in ac-
cordance with his suggestion, either
through conference or personal com
munication try to get the trade to-
gether in your locality with view TO
inducing wholesalers and retailers to
cooperate in moving the crop to the
tables of the people?"
Administrator Deems is urging the
enlistment OF every activity to induce
the movement of the crop to the tables
of the people. Every potato eaten
means less meat and flour consumed.

salvation Army was-and is-famous
for its doughnuts and pies. Men COM
ing out Of the trenches there can al
ways count on doughnuts and pie
when they get back to the Army hut.
In Picardy this is impossible. but
taiiss Van Norden and her fellow
workers endeavor to keep everything
else that soldier might want--to-
bacco, candies, cakes, writing paper,
candles and anything else that can be
obtained. In the reading room" is
the graphaphone. The soldier knows
he is always welcome to sit and lis
ten to the music as long as he likes.
Hot coffee is always ready, and he can
sit over his coffee and cakes while
record after record is run off by his
-bunkies.
Harry Lauder is big hit in Pic
ardy. Men back from working all
night on supply trains, or doing a
trick in the trenches. call for Lauder
and his song Nanny" above every
thing else. With pipes and cigarettes
glowing, and the room lighted only by
Pickering candles, they sit and hum
Nanny" with the world-loved Scot.
Shells may be breaking near, ard the
sky red with the glow of artillery
battle, but in this dingy little room is
the radiance of the smile of Lauder,
who gave his son to the same cause
for which the American boys are
fighting.
When troops are moving, pay is not
regular sometimes. This makes no diff
ference to the Salvation Army. If a
soldier comes to the hut, wanting
cakes or candy, but hasn't the money
to pay for it, he gets it anyway. If
he hasn't the exact change, and Miss
Van Norden, or her assistant, are al
SO without change, the soldier is Civ
en- what he wants without charge.
When he has the money-or the
change if he had money-he'll come
back and pay.
The Salvation Army needs grapha
phone needles. They are hard to get
over here. You can therefore do Z
Bit by getting in touch with ;he
Salvation Army headquarters in YOUR
town, and sending over some of your
surplus supply.
The work of the Salvation Army is
not going to be forgotten soon by
Americas fighting army. The little
woman in we'd bonnet standing be-
side a kettle on the streets at home
means more to the American in
France than she did year ago. They

The Salvation army follows the flag.

Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey, hero
of hundred fights with the Hun,

theatre. last night, and with him
went the sympathies and cheers of
one of the largest audiences that

One more chance, at S:15 tonight,

Special costuming of the Grand's at
tractive girl ushers and short patri-
otto opening are features of the pres
entation.
Over the Top is a triumph for EN-
pey, for its producer, and for America.
Closely following the soul-stirring mar
rative Of the sergeant's mote book of
a Tommie," there has been woven in
to the play a strong, romantic story,
inspiringly American in theme and
thrilling in dramatic intensity. 1t is
a wonderful INSTALLATION of the meth
DDS of fighting as pursued on the
western battle front, and yet is de-
void Of the horrors which have sick
ened the hearts OF all cizilized beings
when they read of the slaughter in

Berlin.
Every father and mother of an
American boy in khaki should see
lover the Top" AS Empey said
when he agreed to go into a motion
picture production. it shows "just
what we are up against over there"
and in addition it shows that Ameri-
cans can take care of themselves.
To see Empey and the boys "go
over the top" in q trench raid at night
will reassure and hearten everyone
who has loved one at the 'front.' be-
cause they will feel proud to be of the
blood of real men, unafraid and will
ing to make the supreme sacrifices for
their country.
"Over the Top" Is unquestionably
the finest motion picture silhouette of
the war that has been made. Those
who have read Employs great book
will see many of the sidelights that
made the book joy, and they will
recognize many of the characters that
they met in the book, particularly AL
bert Lloyd, the coward. This incident
of man who feared and then, when
he had been sentenced to death as a
coward, redeemed himself by rescuing
his comrades in the face of torrent
of enemy bullets, stood out with the
sharpness of a cameo in the book and
it has been reproduced on the screen
with even greater vividness.
"Over the Top" is convincing be-
cause one feels that it is accurate in
detail and in action. Empey, the hero

Sergeant Empey is really wonder
fully heroic man. His life has been
one series of adventures from the

Horn. He served six years in the
United States cavalry, was national
guardsman for seven years, and then
went to France as member of the

one of the first Americans to join the
British army and reach the front line

service, was seven times wounded in
battle and made a splendid record as
a machine gunner. bomber and raider.
He was honorably discharged and re-
turned to this country. where he took
up patriotic work, raising more than
one million dollars for the second
Liberty loan. approximately $4,000

stored.

flour until the next harvest, but
we cannot ship them. If we could
they could not be used because
baking is not done In homes In

loayes are essential In the

wheat, alone, can be used to make
the durable bread.
Nearly $4,000 Iowa boys are

back them up. Iowa's loyalty has
