Work will take your mind off most
of your ills.
Preparedness is nine-tenths strength
and physical endurance.
Food, water and oxygen are fuel for
running the human machine.
Obesity comes from overlooking the
stomach and underwriting the body.
Nine-tenths Of "the blues" comes
from a bad liver and lack Of outdoor
exercise.
If you take more food than the di-
gestisn can handle you not only tire
the stomach but the whole system.
Full, deep breathing, drinking plenty
Of water and keeping the skin active
will keep most people out Of the doc
tors hands.
When drinking q glass of water stand
erect and take a full breath first, then
drink with chest out and hips back
and head up.
Two things are essential to a clean
sl5in-one is bathing and a rundown,
but the other is still more important
and that is perspiration.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

IT'S the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100,0O0,000 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 80,0O0,.
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,00O,000 bush.
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,00O,00O bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
5O,00O,000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135.000,000 to
the left over.
It Is not q problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it is entirely q problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid.
ing our stock with the Allies.
