With United States troops being

week it will take less than six months
to complete the formation of an army Of
100000 men in France or parts of west

ognize, officially or unofficially, that
there are now million American men

come home to that nation with crushing

AMERICAN SONSUL
FOR CALEX|CO

A letter has been received by local
interests having the matter in charge
advising that an American consular
office had been established at Mexi-
cali, B. c., and that Walter F. Boyle,
American consul at Puerto Cortes,
Honduras, had been designated as
the first incumbent of the office at
that point and had been ordered to
transfer to Mexicali as soon as pos
sible.
The fight for a consular office
across the line has been carried on
vigorously for some time, and the
leading business and financial men
have been behind this movement. The
chief Of the consular service advised
them, some time ago, that the mat
ter was under favorable consideration
and the news Of the establishing OF
the office and the appointment OF
the consul comes as a pleasant sur
prise.

AT EN- BOYS
AN EAT: EN- Up"

Speaking of potatoes, not ball play
ers.
1t may not pass the examination for
dignity, but this hoarse suggestion of
the bleacher fan quite accurately car
ries the thought which the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Food Ad-
are trying to impress up
on Americans in the "eat potatoes
campaign. It's a serious obligation.
Millions of bushels of potatoes
should be eaten within the next few
weeks. If we eat them, we save
wheat and potatoes both. And if we
save wheat, the boys in France who
are holding that line can ''carry on"
under the same rallying cry:
"At 'em, boys! Eat 'em up!"

DISPOSITION TO
LET Up DRIVE

Henry S. Mckee, chairman Of the
Southern California Liberty Loan
State Central Committee, is in re-
ceipt of the following telegram from
William G. McAdoo, secretary Of the
treasury of the United States:
"a learn with deep regret that there
is disposition on the part of the
Liberty Loan organizations in vari-
Gus parts of the country to discontinue
their efforts after they have reached
their quotas or have oversuhscr;bed
their quotas to some extent. l re-
quested three billion as the minimum
the government ought to have. with
the hope an depreciation that it
would be largely oversubscribed and
that every Liberty Loan committee
will energetically continue the cam
paign until its close in order to Sc
cure, not only the success Of the loan
as a whole, and the largest possible
oversubscription, but also the great
est possible number of individual buy
ers. When Americas sons are now
actually fighting on the battle fronts
iu France and will not stop fighting
until the victory for liberty is won,
no Liberty Loan committee can stop
fighting for an over-subscription for
the Liberty Loan until the campaign
closes May 4. If we stop fighting
when we have reached the minimum
Of the Liberty Loan we are not COM
parable with our sons in France, who
Gre fighting, not for the minimum, but
for the maximum of Americas rights
and worlds liberty"

BILLY SUNDAY ON
D|SLOYAL|STS

Some old geezers are strong on
prayers for "the brave boys in the
trenches and on our battleships," but
their names haven't appeared on any
Liberty Bond subscription list yet.
j Prayers of that kind don't get as
high as the gas jet. The country Is
full of rocking chair patriots who
loaf around and talk loud and tell the
boys they ought to go over and fight
while they sit around and argue and
tell how Pershing, Haig and Petain
and Foch ought to do this, that and
the other, but you try to get them
to dig up some coin to help feed and
care for the boys who are doing the
fighting and you'd think they We're
handcuffed. They can't get their
hands into their pockets.
A lot of fellows are saying these
days: well, I'm too old to CO." ''I'm
above the draft age" Il wish l could
get into it." You can get into it.
Every man of you can get into
it.
You can do your bit right here.
You can help feed and equip and
arm the boys who have gone over and
are going over to fight for you.
Put every dollar you can rake and
scrape into Liberty Bonds to help the
boys win this war.
The boys who are fighting this war,
and the men and women who are pay
ing their way while they are doing i,
are together saving the world for LIB
erty ard Justice.
And when the war is over, the boys
who fought and the men and women
who kept them at the front are 60
ing 10 run this country.
Why, they are going to elect the
next five or six presidents of this
country.
For twenty years they will elect
every president and senator and con-
s, essman ana governor and legisla-
tor and sheriff and mayor and alder
man.
The men who saved this country
are going to fill every office from
justice of the peace to preaident.
and where will you be then if you
ara shirker nov?
You won't be able to dodge behind
tic excuse that ycu were too CID. or
'oo near-sighted or the head of
"a nily, or knock-hneed, or flai foot
ed spawned or got the string-halt.
If you can't fight you can 90 the
rext best thing-dig up for tha BOYS
who are fighting.

ing for the man or woman who didn't

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of US would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the ground
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great DIS
covery recently made by The Amen-
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-slmple
like all great inventions-was hrst
used in producing the famous LuChf
STRIKE Cigarette-made OF toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow favor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-

FOOD RULES IN

Liverpool, March 10.-The Liverpool
Food committee has granted an extra
food ration to a 16-year old boy who
weighs 800 pounds.
Stockholm, March ia new unit
or standard of valuation of foods has
been fixed upon by Professor Won Pr
ouat of the Vienna university's Chill
drens clinic. 1t is one gram Of moth
er's milk of average fatty content,
which he terms "Nem," the initial
letters of ''Nahrungs Eihhaits Mich"
(standard nourishmenC milk. One
thousand grams, or about one liter, of
this milk are used for comparison.
Along with his new unit, Professor
Pirquat has also invented new meth
cd of arriving at an individuals food
requirements. This consists in meas
uring the length of the Individuals
trunk. Experiments carried on with
60 children showed an accelerated
growth together with considerable saw
ing of food, which reached as high as
80 per cent in some cases.
Professor Won Pirquat has arrived at
cer.ain striking conclusions as to fats
and albuminoids. He considers very
small albuminoid proportion adequate
as little as ten per cent of the total
nourishment-and that fats can be to-
tally dispensed with, provided that two
and ane-half times the usual quantity
of carbohydrates can be included in
the food.
