REASONS FOR REMOVAL
OF SUGAR RESTRICTIONS
FOOD Administration Explains Why
the Restrictions on Sugar
We're Removed.

Reasons for the removal of sugar
restrictions were given by the Food
Administration today. The statement
says it has always been the policy of
conservation requests to world con-
Servation necessities. During the five
months ending with November the
American people saved 775,O0O tons CT
sugar, or 151a pounds apiece. Then
anne the end of the war, releasing
shipping and making the Cuban and
lava crops available. The Food Ad-
ministration feels that it is only ne
aessary to ask the American people to
&c reasonably economical during the
next month, so as not to overcome all
the effects of their economy. There
should be no waste or excessive USAGE
in the way of celebration.
A few Louisville restaurants have
placed sugar bowls back on their
iahles, but most of them have not
although they are no longer even re-
quested to limit their patrons in the
use of sugar. Until recently whole
salers and retailers were limited in
their purchases, and many of them
have not had time since the restric-
lions were removed to bring in large
supplies. This condition is assigned
by restaurant managers as the reason
for still withholding the time honored
and highly appreciated sugar bow
from the tables.
No further definite conservation
program will be outlined until the re,
turn of Mr.. Hoover from Europe. The
future of food saving will depend al
most entirely upon the measure o.
food found to be available in Europe
and in the arrangements which Mr.
Hoover will make with the Allied
Food Council The one food reques
before the American people now is t.
eliminate waste entirely and proven
the notification of the great gooC
which has already been done.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysyille People.

AS one weak link weakness a chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and ianguur and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof Of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
ST., says: About two years ago, |
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. l had dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. gladly advise anyone
to get box of DoaR's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., if trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOANS
