w tertered with on 281 days
during 1918. In other
words, there will be only "a days In
this coming year that are not Sun
days or special holidays in one or
more important commercial regions
Of the earth. Nor Is this an unusual
condition created by the war. We
are accustomed to jump remarkable
conditions into the category OF war
evils these days. On the contrary,
some of the fighting nations have for
the time being stripped their decks Of
I minor and unusually supertiuous holi-
days.
Ever since man was condemned to
earn his bread by the sweat Of his
brow he has been putting in lot Of
spare time trumping up methods Of
beating the game. Next to working
into the boss's job the invention of the
, holiday has been one of his ablest
little achievements in this line. Like
wise ever since bosses and holidays
evolved, along about history's sun
rise, the former have been cursing
the latter as troublesome breaks in
the years work. BY the Middle Ages
holidays had become so numerous
that they seriously interfered with
industrial pursuits. A valuable re-
suit of the Reformation not generally
appreciated was the abolition Of a
large portion Of these holidays.
But as time went on political
and religious milestones accumulated
again. Today, while the years over
load in any one country is by no
means as serious as in the Middle
Ages, the growth of international
finance has made the worlds aggre-
gate of closed days serious factor
and an expensive one. Not until now
however, has any attempt been made
TO compile an exhaustive list of holi
days for the guidance Of bankers and
mel chants. This task has Just beer
completed by the Guaranty Trust
Company Of New York city. The re
suits have been published in book

1t is well for us to note what the
saving of food means in the aggre-
gate, and not judge it by the amount
saved in one family. For instance
the State Hospital at Waterbury
has entered intellectually into the
work and now they are having 16
wheatless meals week and IA meat
less meals, and their saving repre-
sents practically ten barrels of flour
a week. All in the hospital unite in
saying they like the substitutions
and find them more palatable. Every
family is one of the 20,0O0,00 fami-
lies in Uncle Sans home circle. If
each member saves ounces of flour
a week just figure out the number
thousand barrels it will save for that
length of time. It's little for each
one of us but great for the nation as
a whole. We have already said
every loyal American citizen will
gladly conserve and save, and those
who are. hindering war work by a
disregard of this food regulation will
bring about system of food distri-
button by card orders issued by gov
eminent officials. 1t is annoying to
those who want to save and conserve,
and are Loyalty following out the d.
rections of the Food Administrator
to know others are disregarding this
work and selfishly boarding, making
of themselves food hogs, who de.
serve nothing better than to be
classed as unpatriotic citizens, bur
den to the government that sees the
need of this work to bring about {
successful prosecution Of the wal
and save the lives of those who are
fighting our battles. We will win
we will carry the extra burden o.
these self consumed people but tn,
Lord have mercy on them when thu

FARMERS MUST BUY
LIBERTY BONDS, HE SAYS
United States Treasurer Guest
at Luncheon in
Macon
Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)

MACON, Ga, Feb. 9.-Georgia farm
ers must be aroused to the necessity OF
participating in the third Liberty Loan
est to aid the government in every way
they can. John Burke, treasurer of the
United States, declared at a luncheon
given in his honor at Hotel Dempsey.
Saturday afternoon.
The treasurer met several business
men at an informal reception in the
lobby of the Dempsey and then had
luncheon with a score or more of prom
inent citizens on the mezzanine floor.
After a brief talk he left at 1870 for
Washington.
II have eaten so many sweet pota-
toes. so much grits and other Georgia
food that 1 don't know what else there
is for me to DO to qualify me as a
Georgia cracker" Mr.. Burke declared
at the beginning of his short address
after luncheon. IF 1 kept on travel
ing through Georgia l believe 1 would
become crackerjack
Everywhere 1 have been in Georgia
er gets no returns for his money. We
must show the farmers that the bonds
are backed by the best security on
earth. If it fails it means everything
is lost for us all.
I'VE lend our money to the allies.
and ii is used by the allies in purchas-
ing foodstuffs, mostly from the farm
ers in the United States. So you see
as fast as we lend the money it is re-
turned to US.
1T is true that we did save the al
lies, but we saved ourselves at the same
time. There is no question that if we
had not gotten into this war it would
have been over by now. The only rea-
is because she could fight France and
England nearby, and because we are so
far away.
I'VE are going to win the war and we
are going to win it quickly with our
resources and our army and navy

Wide in Scope After Febru-
airy II, If Conditions Con-
tinue to Improve

WASHINGTON, Feb. S-Heatless
sIondays have been suspended in all
states south of Virginia IN announcing
this today, Fuel Administrator Garfield
said improved weather and traffic condi-
ticns had made further enforcement IA
the south unnecessary.
The states affected are North and
South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama. Mississippi and Lou
isiana. The first section Of the closing
order establishing a preferential list IN
coal distribution and section ten pro-
yiding penalty for noncompliance will
continue to stand.
1t was announced also that in all 9TH
err states in which the order is opera
tive fuel may be furnished on future
Mondays to heat and light lofts and
workshops occupied by members of the
International Allied Garment Workers
union.
With the total abandonment of heat
less Monday throughout all the states
south of Virginia, fuel administration
officials were hopeful that continued
warmer weather and improvement IN
railroad traffic would permit relaxation
of the order all over the United States
after next Monday.
DR.. Garfield's order is as follows:
"In view of improved weather and
transportation conditions, all provisions
of regulation Of January II, 1918, except
ing sections one and ten, are hereby sus-
pended insofar as they relate to the fol-

There can be no strong, healthy, beautiful,
rosy-cheeked women, without iron," says Dr.
Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and
Medical Author. I'm my recent talks to physi-
clans on the grave and serious consequences
of iron deficiency in the blood of American
women / have strongly emphasized the fact that
doctors should prescribe more organic iron

weak, haggard-looking women patients. Pallor
means anaemia. The skin of an anaemic wom-
an is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack
Tone the brain flags, and the memory falls and
often they become weak. nervous, irritable, de-
srcndent and melancholy. When the iron
goes from the blood of women the roses go
from their cheeks.
..In the most common food Of America, the
starches, sugars. table syrups, candies, polish
cd rice. white bread soda crackers, biscuits,
nlacaroni, spaghetti, tapioca. sage, farina, de-
terminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be
found. Refining processes have removed the
iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished
foods. and silly methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste pipe the water in
which our vegetables cooked, are response

you wish to preserve your youthful vim and
vigor to a ripe old age you must supply the
iron deficiency in your food by using some
