State Food Administrator Tells Brooklyn Gathering That Lack of Food WillLos the War-B. G. Southwick Urg- es More and Better Corn.

Seventy million people have been talk en rom various productive occupa- tons and put to work on destruction. Shortage of help is not peculiar to agricultural enterprises. A banker in New York recently stated to me that he had been looking for months for a. $1o,000 man for private secretary to take the place of his former seeretassy. who had resigned to enlist. The men cannot be found. Factories are press ed tp find men. and in fact every oc- cupatlen Is suffering for this reason. The farmer has no monopoly on the labor shortage.
 Conservation is necessary, as pro- duction can only be accelerated to a certain degree. New York is saving sSoVn barrels Of flour a day by conser- - Vauon. No matter how much we con serve, we will not have enough to go around unless conditions change veTy rapfdly. It is a 50-50 gamble whether or not we shall be able to get food to Italy in time to prevent a bad break . down. Due to bad food administra-. tlon in Italy, bread is so bad that peo pie have been made sick. When a sol dIers wife and children are staryjng ne won't fight. France has made "a heroic effort. but large part of her agrfrultural land has been lost to the Germans. England is producing only 20 per cent. of her food supply. Ger. many is probably not as badly off as we are led to believe. If she car finance it. she can secure enough foo6 through Russia to make herself SC. cure.
 Europe requires 525.8o0, 900 bushels of wheat. Normally S0,00O 900 bushele comes from the United States. Due to transportation difficulties, it mus
 be increased to 200, ,000, 900 bushels. II

Brooklyn, Conn.,, Feb. 27.-A meeting was held here today under the auspices of the Windham County Farmers as- Sociation, cooperating with Brooklyn grange, with the object of encouraging more corn growing in ,Windham coun- ty. Similar meetings have been ar ranged for every town in the county. A conservation corn supper was served. The address of the evening was deliv- cred by Robert s. Scoville, state food administrator. In addition to MT. Sco- vile, Benjamin G. Southwick of the Connecticut Agricultural college talked on More and Better Corn for Connec- ticut.
 Henry Dorrance of Plainfeld opened the meeting and declared that Con- necticut must do her part to relieve the food situation by, increased pro duetion. He said that we cannot mine coal in Connecticut, nor can we pro- duce many of the things which we might, but we can relieve the trans portation system somewhat by pro- ducing our own food.
 MT. Scoville said: The slogan which we have been using, Food VIII Wf& the War" had better be changed tC | Lack of Food, Will Lose the War. Production is the cornerstone upor which the food situation rests. From the beginning it has seemed wise te the food administration to leave pro duction in the hands of the depart. ment of agriculture. Funds have beer provided for placing men and wemer
 agents in every county of the United States. Eighty-f five to 90 per cent. O the counties of the United States havt been organized. The food administra, | as the medium through which it mus
 work. as duplication would be absurd In addition to funds provided by fed
 eral and state governments, peopl
 must expect to support county organ izations. In order that conservation
 and production may not be interfere' with during the coming months l financial problems must be cleared UT
 The drive, to secure funds is practical | ly certain to succeed.

STOMACH TROUBLES ! AREDUE TOAC|D|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For
 Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas. sourness, stomach ache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the storn-
 aeh. causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full oppressive burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and infiames the deli l cate lining of the stomach The trou- 1 ble lies entirely in the excessive deveI. opment or secretion of acid.
 1 To stop or prevent this souring oi l the food contents of the stomach an6 l to neutralize the acid and make ii bland and harmless, a teaspoonful oi l bisurated magnesia, a good and effect. | i've corrector of acid stomach, shouls | be taken in quarter of a glass of hot l or cold water after eating and when. ever gas. sourness or acidity is felt This sweetens the stomach and neu | traffzes the acidity in few moments | and is a perfectly harmless and inex | pensive remedy to use.
 | An antacid, such as bisurated mag nesia, which can be obtained from an!
 | druggist in either powder or table
 | form. enables the stomach to do it
 | work properly without the aid of arti
 ficial digestents. Magnesia comes il
