 Mir. Green dwelt at length on the methods employed by the allied na- tons in making purchases of supplies in the United States. Prior to De lcember l. 1917 he said. all of the nations made their purchases indiyd- naIly. and in competition with one an other and the American buyer Now. however, the matter Is handled by the food administration, with the result that the market is not subjected to the shoe kof having these big buyers bidding over one another for the food stuffs on hand. This has resulted in .steadytng the market and the Ameri, can buyer and consumer are enjoying the benefit.
 ''The food administration urges the stock raisers of the South" he con- tinued. ito raise more and heavier hogs It also urges those who do not now raise hogs to buy one or two and help out in d small manner.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Cararrh is a local dis
ease, greatly influenced by constitu-
tional conditions and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is constitutional remedy, is
taken internally and acts through
