Coast Will Supply
Moss For BandageS

In the course of the next few weeks
the northwest will be called on to
supply more than 100000 sphagnum
moss bandages for the army and the
American Red Cross.
Because sphagnum will absort 20
times its own weight it has been set
tied on as the ideal surgical pad. The
allies have used it for some time, but
their deposits are virtually exhausted.
1t is lighter, cheaper and far more
absorbent than cotton.
The only available deposits OF
sphagnum are in the northwest and
Alaska and the finest quality so far
has been located at Ilwaco, in the
cranberry bogs there.
Earl Fitzpatrick, director bureau of
development northwest divisional Red
Cross, was in Ilwaco recently and ap-
pointed ]. j. Bush special agent Of
the American National Red Cross,
and upon him will devolve the duty
of getting off the bogs 1000 tons Of
moss required.
Mr. Bush was promised by Ilwaco
that the entire population would
gather the moss from the bogs. 1t
will then be dried and shipped either
10 Seattle or direct to the chapters
making the bandages.
The making of sphagnum bandages
and dressings in this country has
teen fraught with disaster. The ma
tional leader of the work, Harry J..
Smith, was in Ilwaco and Portland
Lut week before his untimely death
March 16 in a railroad accident. With
the exception of few persons he
had instructed, none knew how to
make sphagnum bandages, as Mr..
Smith had not even had time to put
his instructions on paper.
From the nucleus of his personal
workers, most of whom are at the
University of Washington, there will
be held for the representatives of
surgical dressing workroom of the
chapters all over the northwest. These
workers will then instruct their re-
spective chapter members.
1t will tax the entire resources of
the surgical, dressing workrooms in
the northwest to fill the enormous
10000 order, of which 100000 will
devolve on Oregon and approximate
ly 10000 on Portland.
A special paper is now being manu-
factured in the east for these dress
ings, which will come by express, and
it is conjectured that the northwest
will be making shortly 100000
sphagnum dressings a year.

Oregon to Meet
Great Emergency

Oregon has 500 carloads of surplus
potatoes, say $25O,OOO worth at re-
tail, which will spoil by summer II
not eaten. Our soldiers and the al
lies on the blood-drenched fields of
France must have 100000 to 90
100000 bushels of wheat between
now and harvest or quit fighting. Po-
tatoes are cheap. We must eat them
and send the wheat to the front, We
are actually not eating as many po-
tatoes this year as last, when pota-
to prices were sky high. Isn't that
Just like human nature? To use this
Oregon surplus every person in Ore
son over ten years Of age should
eat about bushel of potatoes in the
next three months than he usually
eats.
There are 270 meals in thre months
and this means we should add an av-
erage Of nearly two ounces of pota-
toes to every one of our meals every
day until July
Can we do it? The Germans eat
three times as many potatoes as we
do. They are literally winning the
war on potatoes. Shall we do less?
We must fight the kaiser man for
man, shell for shell and potato for
potato Think of the wheat Oregon
can save by eating her surplus po-
tatoes!
Hotels in many cases are serv-
ing only insignificant portions of po-
tatoes, and these wretchedly cooked
The patriotic hotel and restaurant
men from now on will serve lots of
potatoes, attractively cooked and at
reasonable price. If he does not do
so, remind him of his duty.
Unless the farmers can sell their
potatoes they will be discouraged and
refuse to grow them this year. A
shortage is bound to follow, with
soaring prices. And if would-short-
age of wheat continues, that might
mean famine. Let everyone double
or treble his present use of potatoes.
Potatoes are good fuel. They fur
nish starch which burns in your
muscles to let you work, much as the
gasoline burns in an automobile en-
gine to make the car go. One medium
sized potato gives you as much starch
as two slices of bread. When you
have potatoes for a meal you need
less bread. Potatoes can save meat.
They can give you salts to renew
and build all parts of your body and
to keep it in order. Cook your po-
tatoes we'll and serve them attractive
ly. An old king is said to have tested
each cook before hiring him by ask
ing him to boil potato Even the
best potato can be spoiled by poor
cooking.

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are pure
