In spite Of the encourapin results

that our exports of foodstuffs

CAUSE OF HEADACHE

By knowing the cause, a desease
may often be avoided. This is parti
cular1y true of headache. The most
common cause Of headache is a dis
ordered stomach or constipation, which
may be corrected by taking few dos
es of Chamberlain s Tablets. Try it.
Many others have obtained perman-
ent relief by taking these Tablets.
They are easy to take and mild and
gentle in effect.

In the case Of sugar we are
embarrassed by the necessity Of
using ships for carrying our sol

emphasize the important Of can

scale among our people this sum-

be conserved for this purpose.
But the situation with regard
to wheat is the most serious IN
the food supply Of the Allier
world. II we are to satisfy the
minimum wheat requirements of
our armies and the Allies and the
suffering millions in the Allied
countries, our consumption of
wheat in the Unitel States until
the next harvest must be reduced
to approximately one-third of
normal. It is inconceivable that
we should fail in this crisis. For

The Goddess Of Liberty.
AT, each Of the environments
by the use of soldiers patriotic
emblems have been formed and
these have been photographed
and are used on post cards and
various other Illustrations sent
out from the different camps.
A living goddess Of liberty is
to be formed at Camp Dodge
some day this month.
Between 10000 and 10000
soldiers will be massed to re-
present a replica of the famous
statue which stands at the en-
trance to the New York harbor.
: Officials are planning to OUT
line the figure on the ground
and then mass the men SO as to
bring out the gigantic figure.
A tower will be erected so
that photographs may be taken
Of this wonderful picture.
Similar demonstrations have
been given at the Great Lakes
training station and at Camp
Dix when the flag and the Lii
berty bell were represented.
Camp Dodge hopes to make
this presentation eclipse any
thing else ever attempted any
where.
Women Must Be Careful.
At the time Of the assault up
on a young women which result
ed in the hanging Of three ne
groes an order was issued to
the effect that women neither
with escort or alone were not to
be found in any Of the side
streets or along the highways
or in unfrequented places after
nine o'clock at night. That
meant after dark. Col. William
Newman, in command at the
cantonment, has issued a sup
Elementary order that. women
may not enter barracks at any
time without special permission
from detachment commanders.
The order further provides that
women either with escorts or
alone will not be permitted walk
ing about the encampment at
any time of day except along
the main travelled streets and
highways.
The order put a restriction on
the accessibility Of the canton
ment to civilians which has not
existed before since it's construc-
ton. In fact it is known that
Camp Dodge in comparison with
other environments could almost
be considered a public picnic
ground, officers say.
