RECON- MENDS IT
"You Will Hardly Know
Me When We Meet
Again, He Writes
Friend.

One of the latest additions to
the list of leaders Of thought and
action who have come forward
with their unqualified indorse-
ment of Tanlac is the name of
Hon. Frank V. Evans, former
mayor of Birmingham, Ala, ex-
state examiner of public accounts
of Alabama and one-time editor of
one of the south's greatest news
papers-the Birmingham Age
Herald.
Writing to a personal friend in
Atlanta, Ca, Mr.. Evans says:
go BY the way, you will
hardly know me when we meet
again, because / am getting well
and strong again. AS ] told you
while in Atlanta last month,
have been suffering a long time
with gastritis, as the doctors call
it-really a disordered stomach,
with consequent constipation,
pains in the shoulders, headache,
belching, heartburn, loss of appe-
tite, loss of sleep and fainting
spells. For weeks could not
sleep on my back.
"One week ago, upon recon-
mendation of friends who had
tried the medicine, / purchased
one bottle of Tanlac and began
taking it. Since my second dose
I have suffered none of these
troubles TO which | refer, and
really believe l am going to get
perfectly well and strong again
Won't that be wonderful at my
age? Well, certain it is that Tan
lac is wonderful medicine, and
you know that / am not given to
putting mere experiment. and
am rather orthodox as to materia
medica.
81 shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the
final results.
(Signed) FRANK v. EVANS"

PROFITEER
Omitted Press Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.
The food administration is ex-
pected to strike soon at profiteers
in cornmeal and flour.
Limitations OF huge profits of
millers and wholesalers in these
wheat substitutes is looked for In
the wake Of a rigid investigation,
now practically completed.
The public, sincere in its effort
to conserve wheat, is now paying
5 IL cents pound for white
cornmeal, 1t is stated--twice the
1917 average, and as against 1.6
cents hound before the war.
This price prevails despite huge
corn supplies available for con-
sumption.
Receipts Of corn at primary in
terror points for one week last
month were 12,S49,000 bushels
against 5,243,O0O for tine corre-
spending week last year.
Cornmeal is selling at retail for
8 LIZ cents pound in New York
and for 7.2 cents in Chicago. The
average price thruout the u. s. is
about 6 "a cents.
Unrestricted profits push prices
out OF reach Of the poor. Her
bert Hoover says. and IL Is to
equalize the burden on all classes
that he Is working to limit pvofits

the whole issue of conservation, for while the same person may eat W eekly less flour, we are simply at sea to know what our exportable re sources might be. We do not be- lieYe it is happening in the larger cities with few exceptions as all of flour car arrivals and departure ind dtcate a considerable re- duction of flour intake in those cen terS.
 Everyone should bear these facts in mind, and act accordingly. The conservation of food is just merely the using Of good common sense, but if a larger number of our people get off on a tangent, those who are trying to abide by the food laws will suffer. Team work is required to win the war, team work on the battle front and team work at home.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
THREE MosrENToUs PERIODS IN
1917

Retrospect Of the year 1917, memorable in the history of the war and the history of the human race, will always separate that twelve month into three periods. The momentous political events Of spring and early summer, comprising the Russian revolution, the entry of the United States into war, and the breaking f relations with Ger many by most Of the neutral out side world, made up the first. The military events of summer and aarIy autumn, with their extraOrdin- arily varied story of the Russian army's disintegratiou, the Al lied successes on the western front, the reyerses of the Italian army, and the virtual de- feat of the German submarine cam paign, came next.
 But the year closed, as it was bound to do in deTault Of a deClS- i've victory, with the economic deve[ opments of the day, and the conse- quences which attended them, talk ing the foremost place in public interest. What those consequences were the lapse of Russia into an anarchy, with a usurpiug socialist government treating separately with the enemy, has shown the most strikingly; yet they have also been indicated by fhe increasing demand, by no means least urgent in Ger many, that the war somehow be ended. The upshot of this reac- lion Of economic conditions upon plitical conditions remains to be full ly disclosed in the progress of events-Alexander Dana Moves fin the Financial World of the Jnau- ary Scribner.

TEAM WORK Is NEEDED

In every country at war there is considerable boarding of food, and Ihe United States Is no exception. The present situation of sugar has more to do with this than any other cause and it Is obvious from the very large demand of flour in bar rels and the generally increased flour demand that this trade is al 90 affected. Salt, matches and ether commodities have also been drained from many markets. The csuses seem to be a combination of greed, fear and in some places propaganda.
 Movements Of this sort could quite well bring the whole army to disaster. If every home bought a barrel of flour 1t would represent one-fifth of our entire annual pro fluction. It has proceeded far enough in the flour trades to make control of prices by the food admin istration difficult; for the mills, although running at 130 percent normal capacity. are unable to keep pace with the 'em9nds. It clouds

SAYS THE WAR WILL END IN
 MARCH, 1918

Gabriel Meth, astrologer, who made some rather startling predic- uous for the year 1917, when view ed by the events which took place during 1917 following her forecast, is out with a forecast for 1918 and claims that Che war will end in March and there Is likely to be trouble in Alaska.
 Speaking of Alaska she says:
 The autumnal quarter, to Decem- Der 21, warns the United states to be on guard against the treacherY of foreign powers, plots and schemes. with possibly a sudden threat of war or of new movements of troops. Difficult and dangerous relations with neigh boring nations on foreign matters are indicated. This may come about by trade matters, the death of citizens, or broken agreements; but it may also be with the pos sessions of the United State, the Philippines, Alaska or the West Indies, rather than actual hostility for the United States. It may bring troubles affecting trans porratiOn, and possible wrecks, storms and loss of life on the coasts.

DUARNIERE CASE BAFFLED MIX

New Haven, March Tn solving the motive for the killing of Carlo Guarnieri, an employe of the Con- necticut Go. on Jan. 10 while he was thawing out switch in West Haven, Coroner Mix said today that the case had been one of the most intricate and baffling he had undertaken. He holds Tony Comperenti Salvatore Castiglione,, Jimmy Codiseoti and Pasquale Luce, all of New Haven, as criminally responsible. He says that these men knew Guarnieri carried money about with him and they at tackled him to get it. During the as- sault the switchmen was shot. The revolver used was tossed over a wall but the assailants dropped a rain coat in their flight. This was the only clue for the police. The four men left the city. One was caught in Ohio, another in New York, the third here on his return, and the fourth is at large. A singular feature was that an effort to exchange a revolver and to plant a rain coat was made to inn plicate an innocent person and to hide the identity of the asCailants.

 America and Russia today have different aims, but if we have com mon stations on the same route I see no reason why we could not travel to- gether in the same car. Each could have the right to get off when he wanted to.
 Until a revolution comes in Ger many undoubtedly Russia and Amer ica have a common road. We are what we are and cannot change, and we do not expect the American gov ernment to change"
 M. Trotzky said that if the Bol- sheviki could go back to the state of affairs which existed last October, just before they overthrow the Kerensky government, they would repeat the whole program which has been put through since that time.
 'FIn October we did not exclude the possibility of a holy war; he de- clareld. Now we consider such war possible. The Soldiers and Work mems delegates must now fight for organization and order"
 M Trotzky was asked whether the United States might assist in the process of organization by detailing to the Trans Siberian railroad the 300 American railroad experts now wait ing in Japan, and what guarantee the Bolsheviki could give that goods i'm ported in consequence of such assist ance would not fall into German hands. He said that if the Russian government fell into German hands il could not protect such supplies, but that all sorts of supplies were being evacuated from Petrograd.
 In a public statement to the people of Vologda today on the international situation as it affects Russia David R. Francis, the American ambassador said:
 America has no plans or desires for territorial conquest in Russia. While the present government has never been formally recognized by my gov ernment or any of the Allies, both Premier Lenine and Foreign Minister Trotzky are aware, because I so ad- vised them, that I had recommended to my government that it recognize any government that the Russian peo- pie might select, and would earnestly urge that material assistance be giv- en to such government, provided that it would continue the war against the Central powers"

JOHN H. RAYMOND.

Vassar's fair daughters will cele- brate today the anniversary of the birth of John H. Raymond, first presi- dent of the pioneer institution for the higher education of women, who was born 104 years ago today, March z, 1914. Under President Raymond's s able direction, Vassar College was an immediate success, and it's subsequent growth has been rapid and perman- ent. Women all over the world now look to the Poughkeepsie institution as the4r alma mater, and the example of Vassar has served as an inspiration to many similar colleges for girls.
 It is f1fty-three years since the opening of Vassar College, which was so named in honor of brewer, Mathew Vassar, who provided the en- dowment. Born in Norfolk, Eng land, in 1792. Mathew Vassar came to America as a child. His father set tied in Poughkeepsie, where he es- tablished brewery, a. business which was continued by Mathew. In those days Vassar ale was as popular as a. Vassar education is now, and the brewer, waxing wealthy, determined to apply a portion of his fortune tC the endowment of a school for the higher education of the fair sex. IT 1861 he donated $400,000 to the in- stitution which became known as Vassar College, and which was foe mally opened four years later under the presidency of Dr. John H. Ray mond. Mathew Vassar contributed several other large sums to the col | lege before he died in 1868.
