NOTICE.

The Food Regulations provide
that we can use only 80 per
cent. of the sugar we used in
1917. This means that we will
nut out one fifth less bottled
Coca-Cola than our normal trade
demands.
It will be impossible for us to
supply our customers with all
they require, and there will be
days when we have no Coca
Cola to offer.
We are endeavoring to distrib-
ute our reduced output among
our customers on an equitable
basis, and ask their cooperation
and consideration in the strict
observance of these regulations.
If sugar will help win the war,
let's all help TO conserve it.

RED CROSS WORK

LOCAL CHAIRMAN SAYS THAT

Hope to See Number of Local Work.
ers Increase, not
Grow Less

That the work of the Red Cross is
not finished because peace has come,
is the statement made by Mrs. L. G..
Keller, chairman of the local Red
Cross, who earnestly desires to see
the number of workers at the Red
Cross rooms increase instead of de-
crease at the present time.
millions of American boys are still
under arms and thousands are sick
or wounded, said Mrs. Keller. at
may be long time before they can
all return to the United States and
we must continue to give them mer-
ciful aid-th0se men who have made
peace possible. Those men are en-
listed until there is no more for them
to do in the war and every Red
Cross worker should feel that her
period of enlistment is for the same
length of time"
A message received from the gen
eral manager of the war council of
the American Red Cross, says in
part:
"The cessation of war will reveal
picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which can not
help themselves. The American
people will expect the Red Cross to
continue to act as their agent in re-
pairing broken spirits and broken
bodies. Peace terms and peace con-
dtiOns will determine how we may
best minister to the vast stricken
areas which have been narrowed by
war, and in this great act of mercy,
the heart and spirit of the American
people must continue to be mobilized
through the American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the war council we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers throughout
the land to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each one
to "carry on" There will be an
abundance of work to do and specific
advice will be given, but at the mo-
ment of peace let no Red Cross
worker falter.
, "Our spirits must now call us to
show that it is not the roar of cannon
or the blood of our own, alone, that
directs our activities, but that great
people will continue to respond great
ly and freely to its obligation and
opportunity to serve mankind"

ONE SON KILLED,
Other WOUNDED
COLVILLE FAMILY GETS WORD
OF DEATH IN ACTION
SEPTEMBER q
EldOn Oaks Makes Supreme Sacri-
fice-HarOld Recovering
From Wounds

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank S. Oaks out
on Colville Route Three, received
word Tuesday telling of the death
of their son, Willis Eldon Oaks, who
was killed in action September q.
This news, following soon after that
of the wounding of their son Harold,
came as a sad blow to the Oaks
family. No details concerning his
death have as yet arrived.
The young man was known by his
second name, Eldon, among his Col
vile friends. He was born in Mel
rose, Wisconsin, November 18, 1898,
and moved several years ago with
his parents to Colville. The family
formerly owned ranch north of
the city above the Red schoolhOuse
Eldon, before entering the service,
helped his father farm their proper
ty. He went to Camp Lewis with a
select service contingent which left
May 28th of this year and claimed
no exemption whatever, being glad
and willing to go.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oaks had not heard
from their son for some time, and
were becoming somewhat worried
over his continued silence They are
waiting further details concerning
his death. There are four brothers
and sisters surviving. Mrs. Ed. Lee,
formerly Miss Abbe Oaks, is living
at Grin and another sister, Mrs. C.
Lee, lives at Hillyard and is now
visiting her parents at their home
near Arden.
Harold Oaks, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank S. Oaks, was wounded with
machine gun October A, but writes
that he is rapidly recovering and
hopes soon to be out of the hospital.
The bullet entered his hip. Young
Oaks was graduate of the class of
1914 of the Colville high school and
was active in school athletics during
the time he was student there. He
was always prominent in baseball ac-
tivities and during his last two years
in school he took part in the basket
ball and football games. During his
senior year he was vice president of
the Sacajauia debating society. He
left Colville in September, 1917 to en-
ter service and is member of the
91st division, company ID.

Now, therefore, l, Ernest Lister,
governor of the state of Washington,
by virtue of the authority in me

of the state of Washington cease

speaking also His omnipotent guild

and problems that are come to US

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR

Once more we approach observance
of the Thanksgiving custom, estab-
lished by the Pilgrim fathers in their
gratitude for the blessings bestowed
on them after their long struggle
against the oppressor. Yet even the
Pilgrim fathers had far less for
which to rejoice than we do in this
year of grace.
Twelve months ago the world was
torn and bleeding in a conflict the
like of which had not been known in
all it's history. Our own nation had
joined with all it's great strength and
resource, the other nations that had
been battling for three years pre-
viously in the struggle to save hu-
manity from the tyrant. Our strong
young men We're sailing across the
sea to give their all, if need be, that
Liberty might live. We were deter
mined, but we were apprehensive, and
the outlook was dark and disheaten-
ing.
Today peace is again being estab-
lished in the universe. The awful
struggle and carnage is at an end and
right and justice have triumphed. We
are, it is true, faced with the great
problems of rehabilitation and re-
construction, and they will demand
our best thought and our calmest

Provisions Made for Failure to get
Label-Time Limit Extended to
November 30

There is a room in the rear of the
Bank of Colville building that has
been the scene of much happiness
during the past week. There mothers
and close relatives of soldiers over
seas, under the supervision of the Red
Cross, have been busily packing
boxes which are to bring a share of
the home Christmas to them. vi

what shall | send them?" has
been the big question, for everyone
wishes to make the most of the pre-
cious space allowed them. Candy,
mostly hard chocolates or chocolate
covered nuts, have occupied much
space in the boxes sent, for the crav-
ing of the American soldier for
sweets is well known. Salted nuts,
being light and rich with food value,
have proven popular with the sold
iers. Then people are sending fruit
cake, cookies, stuffed figs, chewing
gum and sometimes timed sandwich
meats. Smoking materials are ad-
ded to most of the boxes and often
practical minds find it good idea
to send woolen socks, khaki handker-
chiefs, shaving sets or extra razor
blades. Soap has been suggested
by the Red Cross headquarters as a
most acceptable gift to the soldiers
overseas, as it has been scarce in
some places over there Pocket
knives, trench mirrors, pocket noe
books and many other little articles
have been added to the boxes which
are to cheer the "Yanks" on Christ
mas day.
Time Limit November 30
Many a mother was relieved to
hear that the time had been extend
ed to November 30. The time was
changed so often, that no one was
quite sure just what would be the
last day on which parcels could be
mailed. One mother in the country
was not able to get into Colvile until
after the goth and thought someone
else would have to pack her sons box
for her. When she heard that she
could do it herself, she was overjoyed,
for there is nothing that pleases
mother more than to prepare
Christmas box for her son.
There has been some anxiety
among those who have failed to re-
ceive labels from abroad, without
which no parcel may be sent, but the
following provisions have been made
for those who fail to receive them or
who have lost or destroyed them.
After November q, upon signing a
statement at the Red Cross Christmas
parcel station, they will receive Ia
bel to use on their parcels. A supply
of labels for this purpose ,yf;:..! he fur
nshed the Red Cross, but the appli-
cants for them must establish their
right to them before they will be is
sued. This is to make it impossible
for soldier to receive more than one

Diet, Exercise or Death!

An eminent medical authority writes
thAt most Of our city folks dic Of thick

case. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneyu. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet Or ankles, rheumatic twingcs or

The very best remedy Is this: Eat
