FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The situation is critical.
II Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their BEST nor hungry nations France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat 1t is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone spare it to them BY saving just little
less than quarter of what ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting battles. And we
do it without stnting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it, Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t has given in such bounty
never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Cornl 1t isn't food. It's
dozen It's cereal. It's a vegetable. It's bread.
It's dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables; It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch break
fast. Here suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins Dumpings
Biscuits. Gingerbread,
Gridde cakes Fruit gems.
Waffes.
HEARTY DISHES

Germany must be destroyed.

A Stacker List.
There is no man who has pros
pered in this nation that does not
owe his prosperity to the benifi-
cent opportunities that our great
government has afforded him.
Without the freedom of action,
the liberty Of thought and the
protection that the government
throws around him, no man could
accumulate or save the products
of his labor or talents. For this
reason the government has val
i'd claim to a part of every dollar
you possess. In peace times this
claim is only asserted in the way
Of moderate taxes, but in time of
war the governments need is
greater and it's demands on the
the individual is greater.
The majority of the citizens of
Morgan county have responded
nobly to their country's call, but
agreat number are slackers. A
study of the list of contributors
to the Red Cross War Fund re-
veals the fact that eighty per
cent of the contributions were
made by people who could lily af-
ford to give. 1t shows also that
some men gave five, ten, and
other sums who didn't know
where their next dollar was COM
ing from, while men whose hold
ings run into the thousands gave
only five. ten or fifteen dollars
So their face money-aAa
that other men who are abundant
ly able to give largely did not
give at all. The people among
whom these slackers live have a
right to know who and what they
are. Men must give to all wal
aids according to his means, and nc
man can excuse himself with
the plea that he can't spare il
from his business. Neither can
the men whose wealth runs into
the thousands square himself in
the eyes of of patriotic people by
buying a few hundred dollars
worth of bonds and a twenty-five
dollar donation to the Red Cross.
They mast giVe till 1t hurts, like
us poor laboring devils do. No
till it hurts the mind-any gift
hurts the mind of that class-bu
till it seriously affects their busi
ness. That is what the govern
ment and the people have a righ
to expect, and do expect, o
every man.
L L
While, unfortunately, there i
no law that will reach out and TAX
from the Stacker the money tina
he should freely give, there is

that, one evening while In his sitting
room In the Berlin palace, reading
something In an American magazine,
he ran across a story which caused
him to laugh so much and so loud that
the ladies' of the court, who heard him
In an adjacent room, came running In
with their knitting to see what the
matter was.
The kaiser had little respect for our
architecture. He thought our sky
scrapers, of which he had seen Illus
trations, were hideous.
How terrible to desecrate the land
scape with such tall buildings" he
commented. "They hurt the eye. How
can people live in themf"
explained that most of the build
ings to which he referred were office
buildings, but that we did have four
teen and ffteen-story apartment houses
and hotels. and even higher ones, in
which the upper floors were used for
living purposes just the same as the
lower ones. He couldn't believe 1t
possible that people would consent to
live so far above the ground and from
his own aversion TO visit place that
was even one story above the ground
floor. 1 rather got the Idea that he was
afraid of height. Under the building
laws prevailing In Germany no build
Ing OF more than five stories may be

Perhaps the quality that he envied
most in us was our inventive genius.

The Prescott daily news., 1918-10-18

Few announcements in many years have caused such widespread interest in medical and scientific circles and among the public in general as that recently made regarding the discov- cry of Irogen and it's relation to the blood and general health of the hu- man system.
 The wonderful power of Irogen to rebuild natural strength, health and vigor is now attributed by physicians and scientists to it's blood building power. Irogen, they explain, regen- crates human blood, for it has been demonstrated beyond the possibility of doubt that Irogen supplies Ma ture with the element essential to the formation of new blood.
 The entire nation has been amazed over the possibilities brought to light through the discovery of Irogen and practical interest of reaching inn portance to the public in general. It is known that the world is literally full of people whose blood is below the standard of vigorous health and whose strength and vital resistance to disease is therefore very low. AL most every household, it is said, con- tains one or more persons whose vii talty is below normal-not necessar- fly invalids, but rather weddings who are prone to disease and complaints of every kind. To these Irogen will prove of inestimable value in rebuild ing naturol strength and health

 Great interest has been aroused in Prescott since the discovery of Irogen and much speculation has been made as to who would secure the selling agency for this territory, as it is un- derstood that only one thoroughly re- liable druggist is appointed in each town to distribute the much sought for product.
 Following this discussion, an- nouncement is now made that Irogen can be secured in Prescott at Hesterly Drug Store and many hundreds have already called to get a supply and test the strength giving powers claimed for this new discovery, and those who are in a position to know predict that Irogen will shortly be used in every household throughout the length and breadth of this country
 According to physicians and drug glSIS, among the numerous symptoms which may indicate in varying de- grees weak blood and it's need of Iro- gen are: Lack of muscular strength and endurance, weakness or irritabil- ity, pale, anaemic skin, restless sleep loss of appetite, dyspepsia and indi- gestion, loss of weight, susceptibility to colds and eatorrh, habitually cold feet and hands, exhaustion after mod crate exercise or work, premature age and various skin eruptions On the whole, it is said, the heart andstom- ach suffer the most from weak blood and respond most quickly to the strengthening effect of Irogen.

 Finance Is mystery to most ordi- nary people.
