Six Thousand Enroll
in Douglas County's
Army Of Food Gamers

Douglas county housewives are re-
spending to the cry OF the govern
ment to can fruits and vegetables and
to can all that they can can. Records
in the Office Of Oscar Allen, Douglas
county food administrator, of the Ne
braska Federal food administration
shows that more than 5000 house
wives Of the county have appeared at
the Office and secured certificates for
canning and preserving.
From early morning till late in the
evening constant stream of women
file into the Office for the certificates
In securing these certificates, they
pledge themselves to use the sugar
only for canning and preserving pur-
poses. So far no certificates have
been returned which is positive proof
that canning and preserving is being
done on much larger scale than is
usual.
\ People who have never before re-
sorted to canning and preserving
their own supplies are laying up win
ter provision, says Allen. In every in
stance the Omaha women state that
they are going to put up enough
fruit and vegetables to carry them
through.
Under the regulations housewives
may have all the sugar they actually
need for canning and preserving but
they must get certificates from the
TODD administration. The greatest
amount that can be gotten at any one
time is rs pounds. but lots OF this
size may be obtained as often as the
housewife has fruits or vegetables to
preserve.
Allen urges that as little sugar as
possible be used in canning as more
sugar will be available when the time
comes to consume the canned goods.
"Use just enough to properly pre-
serve the fruits and vegetables and
keep them from spoiling." says AL
len.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the inflamma-
ton can be reduced and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. MANY
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inf1amed condition
or the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts through the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

War necessities and the regular or
der of industrial development" are
in open conflict, since the latter is
officially ycurtailed but is, neverthe-
less, extremely active in the produc-
ton of the new necessities demanded
for the great world conflict. Manu-
featuring plants have been springing
up over night in every part of the
country. These industries have taken
the short cut in obtaining power, and
instead of erecting great plants of
their own, as in past years, they have
usually annexed themselves to. the
existing institutions, and the infor-
nation given out in Washington
shows that upwards of sixty per cent
of the industrial and factory power
in the country is furnished by cleo
trio light and power companies.
An, interesting feature of the con-
dition shows that practically all of
the so-called electric steel is manu-
featured through the medium Of the
electric furnace. These furnaces are
largely operated with electricity fur
nished by lighting and power plants.
These facts have been brought out
through the War Finance Corpora
ton, which as part of the war ma
chinery of the national government
has been as closely in touch with the
industrial end of the United States
as is the Federal banking system
with the financial conditions.
There isn't very much going on
nowadays but what Uncle Sam
knows all about.
