WHILE FAMINE GREETs THE ENEMY,
OUR FOOD SUPPLY is IMPROVING

the exporabe surplus from that country available for the
United States IS estimated at minimum Of 100000
bushels If this minimum attained therefore, should
be only 100000 shells short Of the supply in normal
years.
It VIII be observed this calculation is based the expec
tation Of billion bushe wheat crop in this country. The
crop may 20 under the total but the outlook
brighter with respect to the food supply Of the United
States and its allies than 1t has been since 1876.

''PRUSSE ACID" Fatal
Liberty Bonds Will Prove Highly
Successful kntidote.
Average Dose Of Remedy 10 From ~
to 5,ooo-AmpIe Evidence Why
Immediate Provision Should
Be Made.

Of the viaiiantes.
Prior to August 1914, prussic acid
was known as one of the deadliest
poisons, but comparatively few per.
sons were killed by 1t.
Since that time German autocracy
has killed and manned millions and
jeopardized the life and liberty of all
free nations by wholesale use Of Q
new kind Of prussic acid-a "hydrocy-
anide" of brute force which, If not him
dered, will be as fatal to freedom az
the prussic acid of the laboratory to
him who inhales Its deadly vapor.
With this deadlier prussic acid, the
kaiser and his crew are trying to pois-
on the minds as well as the bodies
Of those who will not submit to the
domination Of might. Thus far he and
his hell mates have succeeded fairly
well, but new antidote for this pois-
on will check the peril II amply ap-
piled.
Americanisu is its name. and the
method Of application Il as follows:
As soon as symptoms of the
poisoning appear-either in the
form Of trench, air or submarine
raids or German propaganda
planting. take one large dose Of
Americanism in the form Of Third
Liberty Loan bonds.
The effect will be instantaneous.
At once the purchaser will pass
from a state of approaching des-
pair to an unprecedented degree
of satisfaction at having backed
up the boys who are fighting for
freedom and the millions Of men
and women who are working to
help win the war. This will be fol-
lowed by a sense of security In
having strengthened our defensss
against devilism. and at the same
time the effect on the foe will b
that of a powerful emetic, caus-
ing them to throw up their hands
in horror at the thought Of such
whole-hearted support of the Al
lied Cause.
For the average American the
dose suggested Is from $50 to $5.-
OO0-tsken daily in small quanti-
ties over a long period. or swal-
lowed at one time and followed by
feeling Of happiness which can
not be appreciated until expert
enced.
And while this Is suggested as
the most admirable antidots for
this poison, 1t also possesses the
peculiar quality Of providing .
''pilI' for Kaiser Bill at the same
time. Testimonials from millions
of Americans who already have
used this remedy and like 1t SO
well that they are going to lay in
another large supply. make clear
the use for buying your bonds

we may have to face widespread world
want II we are not forethoughted and

turned from their usual occupation Of
helping to provide the necessaries Of

clothing while they fight. the industrial
order is thrown completely out Of bal

through troubled waters. What can
we do, what must we do, to insure safe
passage?
How to Prevent Il
World want cannot be prevented by
hoardings. Neither is anyone's safety
dependent on the amount of money he
has hidden away. Safety depends on
the sane, wise, unselfish use of the re-
sources of the nation. Every mans re-
sources are the resources of the ma
ton. Safety depends on the willing
ness of the individual to share now
with the government every resource
he possesses-thought, activities. mon
ey. The right, free use Of these, our
powers, should be towards production.
not restriction. OF what avail will
money be later, II there should be lit
tie or nothing to buy? The govern
ment is trying to speed up production.
1t will try harder by-and-by. Help on
towards your own safety and the safe
ty of all by helping the government.
Therefore. buy Thrift stamps, War
Saving stamps, Liberty bonds.
So do you put your hand. with all
the other hands, on the helm of our
Ship and become one of the pilots who
