The Wars Loss and its Remedy
BY D. J. MORAN.

1he Great War Is about over, and
change from present conditions must be
expected. ESQ billions Of dollars Of the
worlds wealth has been destroyed. hut
this Is not all Probably IL millions Of
able bodied mon have been killed and
permanently disabled. Each Of these
produced enough to feed, cIothe and
shelter, two or hree dependents.
The wealth predicting labor Of the
civilized nations Of the earth has been
sadly diminished.
It is estimated that each able bodied
man in the United States, is worth at
least $1,000 20 the country, during his
life time. And if we assume that Sc, 900
is a fair average in the civilized world,
this means a loss OF at least SO billion
dollars more. Thus, the civilized world
has sus aimed loss equal TO the entire
wealth Of North America, from the
Isthmus Of Panama to the Arctic Ocean.
Except for the man power on the North
American continent, the world stands
as If wealth Of this continent was sunk
in the bottom Of the sea, ard It had be-
come again just what it was when dis
covered.
1t is useless TO hope that this loss
viii not be felt the world over, even
acre in our United States.
There is but one remedy for this loss,
increased production and absolute pre-
vention Of waste.
Every workman must produce more,
that is, work harder and more eniei-
emily.

coal every pint Of oil every tool ana

Colorado Visitors Here

Mrs. Grand Smith. Mrs Mary Tap
pin and George Woods all of Montrose,
Colo, arrived here Friday and were
taken to Porthill by Colon Smith in
his auto, to visit for a time at the
homes of Charles Smith and s. W.
Smith, brothers of Mrs. Tappin and
brother-in-laws of Mrs. Grand Smith.
The visitors had their first view of
this country Friday and were duly
impressed with the scenery and eli
mate and although they come from a
fruit country they were amazed at
the wonderful size and flavor of the
fruit trees in the orchards of the
Smith brothers ranches. Fruit of all
kinds has borne wonderfully well in
the Porthill district and the great
trees in the orchards of Charles and
S. w. Smith and their sons, are sim
Dly loaded with luscious fruit. Mr..
Woods is Civil War veteran and stop
ped off here enroute to his home after
having attended the G. A. r encamp-
ment at Portland last week.

Climb Mount Clifty

Seven hardy mountaineers, the Mis-
SEES Mary Hawkins, Harriet Middaugh,
Ruth Underwood, Florence and Mar
garet Tormey, Grace Hart and w. B.
Hawkins, scaled old Clifty's rugged
pine-grown side to the tip-top peak
on Tuesday of last week They fol-
lowed the government blazed trail up
from the Atkins ranch.
If anyone doubts this story let him
climb Mt. Clifty and see their names
engraved on the rock pile at the sum-
nit. To those who are still skepti-
cal, pictures taken from the highest
rocks will be shown and if proof is
still lacking a slight stiffness in the
walk of the members of the party may
be noted
To would-be climbers these pio-
neers have some advice to offer They
would not recommend the ascent of
old Clifty as a before-breakfast con-
stitutional but they do claim that any
real game sport, if he start early and
eat lightly but often, climb leisurely
but steadily, can accomplish the feat
All stiffness and steepness is amply
compensated when the climbers re-
member the view from the high open
places AT ones feet lies the broad
expanse of the Kootenai valley, check
cred in tan and green with the small
clearings and pine tracts. To the
north through a rift in the mountains,
appear more purple peaks that follow
the Kootenai river into Canada. Here
and there rise columns of smoke from
distant towns. Far in the distance in
an almost unbroken circle, extend the
mountain ranges piled in tiers, range
beyond range, their rugged tops touch
ing and catching the floating white
clouds. The whole blends into an
exquisite picture done in puppies
colds and green's, in whose presence
the climbers can but be awe-struck
and silent.

HAD SUFFERED
EIGHTEEN YEARS
WAS IN BED WEEKS AT A TIME
UNABLE TO M0YE-N0W Do
ING OWN HOUSEWORK

For the past eighteen years my
wife was a sufferer from rheumatism
in one of its worst FORMS" said Will
liam Bennett, who is now employed
by one of the large sawmills at Red
mond, Wash, recently.
Whenever these attacks came on, -
he continued, "she would get so weak
and crippled up, that she would have
to take to her bed, where she would
lie for two or three weeks at a time,
suffering untold agonies and unable
to move Her left foot was drawn
up and crippled so with pain that she
seemed to be permanently crippled,
and one finger on her left hand was
drawn all out of shape so that it was
all out of order, she had no appetite,
and although she was just as careful
as she could be about her dieting, her
food would sour on her stomach and
cause her great distress afterwards.
Her nervous system seemed to be
shattered and her rest at night was so
broken that she could hardly sleep.
Her arms and throat appeared to be
withered, the skin soft and flabby, and
she was just about as miserable as
any DOuy ever BtlS W NC. WI JtdA .
she had been too weak and ailing to
do any of her homework, and what
time she wasn't in bed she was barely
able to get around.

case but they could give me no hope
and | took her to one of the most cell
ebrated health resorts in the country
hoping that she would be benefited
through drinking the water, but it
seemed to do her 10 good. Then she
tried all kinds of medicines but not
until she started taking Tanlac did
she find any relief whatever After
taking few bottles of this wonderful
medicine we are prepared to say that
Tanlac is the only thing we have any
faith in. Her last attack of rheuma-
tism was all of two months ago, and
she hasn't had tinge since. Her
twisted foot is getting back into its
normal position, and that bent finger
is getting straight and supple like the
others. Her stomach isin such a
splendid condition that she can eat
anything she wants without suffering

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved AL
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased BY
s44, 6O0,o 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,-
100000 bushels of wheat and 844, 600,-
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,4O0,00O, 900.
This was accomplished In the face of
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrators Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up OF the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-18 aud the shipment of
meat during 1917-1S.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81 ,4O0,000000, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
tincluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils. etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1867. e. 2. 166, 500, 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-18. BOIL, 100, 900 lbs.

9O.9OO.OOO bushels

Increase ......... SO,900,O0O bushels
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were:
Wheat 1871 100000 bushels and of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 144,900,-
600 bushels
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1867 were:
Wheat 1876, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 1877 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest OF
wheat will be therefore. about 141 ,O00,-
600 bushels, or a total of 154 100000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly IL we bear In mind that we had
available In the fiscal year >1916-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200, 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
''These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population In planting a much
increased acreage In 1917, not only was
there a very large failure In wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
81 am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report. "that all tho
millions of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that In a year of
universal food shortages In the north
ern hemisphere all of those people
Joined together against Germany have
come through into sight OF the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained. but with
only temporary periods Of hardship.
1T Is difficult to distinguish between
various sections Of our people-the
homes. public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
sults. but no one will deny the domL
aant part OF the American women"

it had secured "a number of copies of

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
apprecably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
TO bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against l,266,500,000 pounds
in the same period of the year before.
This compares with an average of
sol 100000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1861. 5000, 900 bushels
Fiscal year 1917-1S. $40, 800, 900 bushels
