JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
Which Is Better-Try an Experiment
or Profit by a Madison Cit
liens Experience.

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as repre-
sented.
The statement of a manufacturer
is not convincing proof Of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a bad back
A lame, weak or aching one,
Would YOU experiment on it?
You will read of many so-called
cures.
Endorsed by strangers from far
away places.
It's different when the endorse
ment comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.

With the declaration of an armi-
rope there is danger that we may, in
America, think u duty done and de-
crease our efforts toward food conser-
walton.
This must not happen. We have q
greater obligation than ever, with the
Balkan states opened to us, and look-
ing to us for food for all the winter
months, and until food can be raised
where now there Is famine.
Our own men must continue TO eat
even though they cease to fight.
The countries that are laying down
their arms are plunged into a state
Of great unrest. Anything may hap
pen. No factor is so conducive to an
archy as hunger.
Then it still rests with us in Amer.
lea, and especially in the fortunate
state of South Dakota, to arise to the
occasion, to be our brothers keeper"

it's efforts are in vain. We must sit

our ability.

TO SAVE Nj EAT.

A serving of meat or poultry once
n day is enough. No family of five
should buy any meat until 1t has
bought three quarts of milk. Use all
left overs; make soups.
When you buy meat get the lighter
cuts which do not keep so well for
shipment abroad.
Remember there are parts like liv,
ers, tripe, sweetbreads and brains
which should be used.
Make a little meat go a long way

ITS FUTURE VALUE.

The value of conservation In the
home reaches far beyond the present
war crisis. Its effect on American
housekeeping will be felt for at least
Il generation to come.
Keeping house has been exalted to a
profession. The purchase and prepa.
ration of food in the family kitchen
not only has become worthy of, but
demands thought and training. Moth.
ers are seeing to 1t that their daugh.
ters shall learn how to market and
cook with intelligence and economy.

The American Red Cross in Italy has recently made a gift of money for
the assistance OF the Arcca Institute for Tubercuar Children, n Italian
doing a very valuable work for unhealthy and weakened children
of soldiers called to the colors The III recently given is 10000 lire ($12OOO,
a previous gift of the sam amount having been made shortly after the
arrival of the A. r. c. in Italy. At that time the important activities of the
home were in danger of being suspended owing to lack Of immediate funds,
and the donation of the Red Cross commission was in part responsible for
the continuation of the work of caring for Ia1ys small sufferers. In token
of gratitude or this assistance ne ward of the institution is now known as
the President Wilson ward. The additional monetary assistance provided
by the American Red Cross will enable the authorities Of the home to enlarge
the work. and especially to increase the capacity Of the President Wilson ward.

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-12-19

The extent of Americas military eff
fort in France at the time the armis-
tice was declared is shown by sta
tistics which the Associated Press is
now permitted to make public. While
the stupendous figures required to tell
the story are in themselves amazing,
1t should be remembered that they
show only a part of the great effort
made in war preparations in men,
money and material.
On the morning of November II, the
United States had in France 1891
officers and 1,SS1,376 men, a total Of
almost 100000. AS has already been
announced there were 100000 combat
troops in the Argonne action. This
number does not include the American
units engaged on other parts of the
front.
Man power, alone, however, was but
n factor in the preparations for
American participation in the war. Be
hind it lay vast machinery, which was
required in operations. Railways and
motor roads were constructed and
across the sea were brought locomo-
tives, cars, rails and motor transport
of every kind.
Every Effort Exerted.
Behind this again was the requisite
food, clothing and general supplies for
the men, as well as dockage and ware
house construction. Every effort of
civil life, plus the requirements of
war, was exerted.
The American army took over
to France and had in operation
967 standard gauge locomotives and
1874 standard gauge freight cars of
American manufacture. In addition
it had in service $50 locomotives and
973 cars of foreign origin. To meet
demands which the existing French
railways were unable to meet, S43
miles of standard gauge railway were
constructed. Five hundred miles of
this have been built since June 1. On
top of this, the department of light
railways reports the construction of
115 miles of road and 40 miles of
German light railways were repaired
and put in operation. Two hundred
and twenty-five miles Of French rail-
way were operated by the Americans.
Engineers Always Busy.
These figures represent a fairly good
sized American railway company, but
railways represent only q fraction Of
the transport effort. Modern warfare
is motor warfare, and it is virtually
impossible to present in figures this
phase of the work of the American
army. In building new roads, as the
exigencies of battle operations requir-
ed, in keeping French roads repaired
under the ceaseless tide of war trans.
port and in constructing bridges in de-
vastated battle regions, American en-
~gineers worked day and night. The
whole region behind the American
lines was full of typical American road
machinery, much of it a character new
err before seen in Europe. To do this
work the American expeditionary
forces had in operation November IL
more than $1,000 motor vehicles of all
description.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. i4.-The
whole German line on the western
front Is about TO collapse.
The crisis Of the war has been reach
ed and passed by the allied armies,
which are now on the down road TO
victory, complete and flnal.
The Huns are on the run, and they
will remain on the run until they have
run back Of their own borders.
This is the optimistic view OF the
present military situation held by
American army officers and critics.
General Foch Is applying the pincers
TO the great 400 square mile Somme
salient. Each day since the drive be
gan last Thursday he has eXerted in
creasing pressure against both north
ern and southern handles Of his great
human nut-cracAer.
Already he has recaptured half the
territory lost TO the Germans in their
great rush to Montdidier that began
March 81.
Il took the Germans IS days OF
terrific fighting TO advance from the
old Hindenburg line at st. Quentin 70
Montdidier a distance Of 30 miles. IL
has taken the FrancO-Britlsh army
only five days-one-third Of that time

In those five days the Allies have
taken more prisoners and guns than
the Germans captured in the whole 10

capture Of Chalunes, General Foch
achieved his secondary objective and
