FOOD FACTS

A recent statement by Mr..
Hoover, releasing hotels, restau-
rants and individuals from the
voluntary wheatless pledge, re-
ferred only to those who during
the past summer went on an alb
solutely wheatless basis until the
next harvest. This does not in
any way affect the regular re-
quirements as regards the pur-
chase and use Of wheat flour. The
$3.50 rule is still in effect and
an equal quantity of substitutes
must be bought with each pound
of wheat flour. Victory bread
must be manufactured on a basis
Of rs per cent white and Is per
cent substitute flour just as
heretofore.
The Fl. B. Schmahl & Co. gro
Gerry store in Redwood Falls, will
be closed all day Tuesday, Aug.
6, by order of the food admins
tration for failure to observe
sugar regulations. The company
sold sugar in q pound packages
instead of 2 pounds as ordered
by the food ADMINISTRATION and
permitted clerks to sign certifi-
Gates and pledges for customers.
The Redwood Grocery Co. on ac-
count Of similar offenses made
a contribution of $50 to the
American Red Cross in lieu of
punishment under the food con-
troll act.
The elimination Of candy from
the diet is strongly urged by the
food Administration as a sugar saw
ing measure. The American
sweet tooth consumes as candy
in year enough sugar to meet
all the requirements for sugar
under the rationing standard of
England for one year. or France
for one year or Italy for two
years. The money spent in the
United States for candy in one
year is double the amount re-
quired to feed Belgium for one
year. With the present needs for
sugar for more necessary and es-
sential purposes candy could be
we'll dispensed with.
1t is the policy of the food adj
ministration to encourage can
ming without sugar whenever
possible~but canning by all
means. Under any circumstan-
ccs sugar used in preserving goes
further than in any other form
for bodily requirements. Skill
full housewives will find little
difficulty in taking care of their
fruit now without sugar and adj
ding it later when it will be more
plentiful.

the loan, the interest rate and other
features such as convertibility of

The fact that the amount of the

John j. Bramel, bookkeeper, Wal

Pills have been of great bene-
fit to me and in fact, l attribute four
teen years of my life to them. 1t was
in 1902 that was suffering a great
deal. After long use of Doan's Kidney
Pills, l became we'll and had no bad
effects for many years. Recently
however, / noticed my kidneys were

They again gave me the same good re-

Mr.. Bramel is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. Ifyour

SOUR CRUISE IN HELL"

| am sitting here and thinking of the
things | left behind
And hate to put on paper what is
running through my mind,
We've cruised the Western Ocean
where festive Subs" abound,
And a meaner place this side of hell,
know it can't be found,
But there is one thing certain. gather
closely while tell,
When we die we're bound for Heaven,
for we've done our cruise in hell
We've scrubbed a hundred ranges for
the cooks to stew our chow,
We've stood hundred watches and
scrubbed down from stern to bow,
We've washed million cups and
plates, and peeled million spuds,
We've scrubbed a million hammocks,
and washed a million duds,.
The times we have coaled this ship is
very hard to tell.
But well not coal up in Heaven, for
we've done our cruise in hell.
We've killed a million reaches, that
tried to take our cots,
And we've shaken countless insects
from out our Navy socks,
We've cruised a hundred million
miles and of all the dirty jobs,
Was the training of a million dirty,
homeless, hungry "Gogs'.
And when our cruise down here is
over, our friends behind will tell,
when they died they went to Heaven,
for they did there cruise in hell"
When the final taps are sounded, and
we lay aside our cares.
When we do the very last cruise right
up the golden stairs,
And the angels bid us welcome, and
the harps begin to play,
While we draw a million canteen
checks and spend them in a day;
Then we'll hear st. Peter tell us, tell
us loudly with a yell,
Just take a front seat sailor, for
you've done your cruise in hell"

This is no time to talk peace.

This is the time to talk war, to talk

the individual community, must de-

This is the time when the nation on
Bonded knees may well ask Almighty
God to strengthen its power to fight
in order that it may do the work to
which He has called us as clearly as
He ever called any man or any nation

Our supreme duty is to fight,
The supreme business Of this nation
is to win the war, and never to count
that it has been won until there is a

SAPPING THE NATIONAL FORUM

Washington, March 3-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters:
"The only agency in the United
States for full and free discussion of
every public question, with full, free
and fair distribution of published re-
ports of that discussion, is the Con-
gress of the United States and the
report of its interchangeable Con-
gressional Record. Notwithstanding
the cheap witticisms thrown at it, the
Congress is the only National forum
in which both sides of every public is
sue have an exactly equal opportun-
ity of presentation. Nothwithstand-
ing the cheap slurs cast at the Con-
gressional Record, that publication is
the only complete and dependable re-
port of the only free and equal de-
bate that can be had in America.
stop moment and think what
that means. In other countries and
in quite recent times, the executive
branch of the government has SEM
armed soldiers to the legislative halls
to drive out the chosen representa-
tives of the people and to lock many
of them--the most faithful and patrio-
tic of them--in prison. BY just such
measures autocracy checked the early
steps of democracy and overthrow
the achievements of lovers of freedom
who were courageous enough to risk
their lives in behalf of their fellow
men. By dispensing legislative bod
les and selling distartorial power by
means of which they choked free
speech and strangled the press, auto
Gratis won ascendancy which could
be overcome only at great cost of life
and waste of national wealth.
"In America as in all other coun-
tries, the Congress is the citadel of
Liberty. 1t is the last stronghold of
free people. 1t Is the sole ageScv
that distinguishes popular govern
ment from monarchy. Congress
through its organization and its OPP
Grafton, constitutes the sole reliance
of the American people for protection
against depotism. If this is not true,
then all history has been false. :

EVERY SUGGESTION OF PEACE
Except Based on Unconditional Sur

ment Of Germany's Criminals
Is u Tribute to Crime and
an Insult to the God
Of Justice and
Morality.

The supreme question before this
country is to fight, and fight for its
own life, for civilization and for
Christianity itself, to the utter exter-
mination of the accursed power of
Germany, which has filled the world
with blood and sorrow.
This is no time to talk of peace or
to think of peace.
Any man in this country, or in that
of the Allies, who utters one word in
behalf of peace until Germany has
been beaten to its knees, is false to
the greatest moral issue which the
world has ever faced
Peace talk is pro-German talk; 1t is
talk with rampant, blood-stained, red
handed murderers, and international
and individual rapists, and is dis
grace to any man of moral character
who utters a word in its behalf.
Indeed, no man or woman having
a due appreciation of the fearful i'm
morality of Germany can possibly
look with any degree of favor whatso-
ever upon any other peace with Ger
many than the peace which the law
makes with. the individual murderer
and rapist when forced to pay the
just penalty of his crime.
This is not the time to talk peace
This is the time to stir the fight
ing spirit of America, and in this way
revivify and strengthen the fighting
spirit of England, France, Belgium,
Italy, Serbia and Roumania, who for
nearly four years have poured out
their blood to save the world from de-
struction by barbarism
Any suggestion OF peace on any
other terms than complete destruc-
ton of the military power Of Ger
many and the punishment unto death
of those responsible for Germany's ac-
tons would be merely the Offering OF
a premium upon crime, and such a
suggestion would be disgrace to the
moral fiber of any man who uttered
the thought
There can be no peace with the red
handed murderer, no peace with the
rapist except that peace which the
law enforces in all civilized commun-
tiles against such black crimes, ana
there can be no other basis Of peace
with Germany than the enforcement
Of the same law and to the same ex-
tent
This has been the position of the
Manufacturers Record frc.n the be-
ginning of this great contest, and
from this there cannot be any dissent
by any right-minded. honest-hearted,
moral-thinking man.
We cannot think of placing IRE
MUM upon such crimes without dis
grazing our mothers, our wives. GU
daughters and all womanhood
We cannot think of welcoming back
without contrition and without pun
ishment the cold-blooded murdere"
and outrager Of women and children
neither. can we think of welcoming
back into world society, exceDt
through punishment and contrition,

ually have stained the pages Of his
