him from taking risks. All those IA
tigues, all those hardships-they were
too much for him. He got pneumonia.
He was passed along for six months
from one hospital to another, refusing
always TO be mustered out. They
thought that he was better. He must
have committed some imprudence. He
got pneumonia again. and that finished

adolescent, who had marched toward

previous to her demise had done sew
ing for the Red Cross. She possessed
a retentive memory and could recall

asks you to eat potatoes twice day
from now on until Wisconsin has dis
posed of it's big surplus. She is dong
the only thing that, under the clrcum-
stances, she has a right to do, and she
intends to serve, from now on, you

toes for at least dinner and supper
every day in the week. Of course, she

make you like potatoes as you never
liked them before.
Your wife knows that Wisconsin
alone has more than 100000 BUSH
els of potatoes in cellars and store
houses, and that we must eat them
within about sixty days or they Will
dry, shrivel and spoil. This is not the
time to question why more OF the
crop has not been consumed, Tor
while you question, potatoes are
