statueJtill February IL, the birthday of
the great Lincoln.
Original Conception.
The Gage statue of Abraham Lin
coin is original conception of the
man and statesman thought out with
considerable study and devotion to the
outstanding traits of the Lincoln char
acter. First nodded in miniature in
clay, then built and nodded in its pres
ent size in more clay, covered with
plaster of Paris to make the matriX
for the casting, the shipment and the
long wait for final casting on account
of war prices and lack of materials,
and the final triumphant entry of the
finished effigy in bronze constitute the
history of the statue as far as its own
personal experiences are concerned.
But this little tells of the long and
sleepleSS hours spent hy Gage while
preparing himself for the actual work
of the construction nor does it tell of
the heartaches and unremitting efforts
of the club women and the school
children of Topeka on whom devolved
the work of gathering the funds neces-
sary to meet the bare expense of COM
pleting the statue.
But now, in spite of the yicissitudes
of fortune and the discouraging delay
the finished bronze statue of Lincoln
is mounted on its pedestal in the state
house grounds, the people of the city
may view their handiwork and the
masterpiece of Sergeant Gage pupil
of Borglum, is fact accomplished

FOOD CHEATING.

The Minnesota Club, one of the most
prominent clubs in st. Paul, has closed its
.estaurant for while and agreed to pay
its idle employees as usual and contribute
$1,000 to the fire sufferers of northern
Minnesota. This is by way of retribution
for the action Of its house manager, who,
apparently without the clubs knowledge,
nceaeu 500 pounds of sugar and sold
500 pounds more where he had no business
4ll.
It was appropriate action, in recogni-
ton of the essential meanness of the policy
practiced. 1t is hardly necessary to ex-
plain that when the whole nation is placed
on definite sugar ration, anybody who
grabs more than his share is cheating his
neighbors.
Clubs, groceries, restaurants and busi-
ness institutions generally are falling into
line with commendable honesty, and doing
their best to obey the rules of the Food
Administration. There are still individu.
ais, however, who fail to appreciate the
principle involved, and to see that they are
bound in honor to obey it in their own
and in their personal con-
The housewife who, anywhere
by coaxing or fooling her grocer, buys and
uses more sugar than her family is en-
titled to, is just as culpable as that St. Paul
club.

Medical advice regarding the avoid

Medical advice regarding the avoid
ance of Influenza emphasizes once more
the old fact that the best preyentatives
of disease are the oldest, simplest and
cheapest. They are nothing more than
sunshine fresh air and cleanliness, With
special emphasis on the last.
Cleanliness doesn't necessarily mean
the use of drug store anCseptics. They
are valuable, Of course. especially those
recommended for spraying the nose and
throat to kill any "flu" or other dangerous
germs that may have found lodgment
there. But the punlis is reminded that
artificial antiseptics in general are needed
by the army in eyerincreasing quantities,
and civilians should therefore use them
savingly; also that proper use of the
great natural antiseptics, sunshine, air
and water, will usually render others su-
perfluous.
Our mothers and grandmothers, who
knew nothing at all about the germ theory,
were everlastingly right in their practice.
They knew that contagious or infectious
disease seldom came into perfectly clean
house, or attacked a person whose body
and clothing were as clean as washing
summing and airing could make them. Any
up-to-date doctor now will vouch for that
Even in the matter of cleansing the mouth.

thorough and frequent cleansing with
plain water is more important than spray

To effect the needed saving of wheat
We are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
q total of 1 n pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IN pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, maearoni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
3 2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one, guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
eakfast cereals, containing a total
Of more than two ounces OF wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
OF the householders.
n Retailers to sell not more than
one-sishth of barrel of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight Of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat -four purchases beyond 10 per
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-05-03

cent. of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March l.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
8. There is no limit upon the use OF
other cereals, hours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato -four, ct
cetera
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all OF
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subslst perfectly we'll with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
gremme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton Of the public by further liniita-
ton Of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.
