Is to set about saving more food to
send In its place. There should al
ways be food enough on the docks for
speedy shipping as fast as ships are
available, The only way to make this
possible Is by steady saving.
The sending Of wheat during 1917
was made easier because of the sur
plus ON hand from 1916.
When the time for cutting the 1918
crop comes there will be NO surplus
from 1917 to draw on. America had
already used up her surplus by Decem-
Der Of last year and what has been
sent since represents the savings Of
the people throughout the country.
The average total export OF wheat
and wheat -four to the three principal
allies has been about 10000. 900 BUSH
els per year since 1914.
Cereals are the most vital of the
food needs abroad. They not only
yield the most protein but they also
furnish more than twice the calories
Of any other food product.
The burden Of the cereal supply
rests with America. War cannot last
beyond the time when production and
saving fail to keep pace with consump-

have been asked to tell what I
think of the liquor question and I have
to break over the traces at tie jump.
I do not discuss tho '1iquor question" ."
Spades are always spades with me.
and I always call them spades. That
10 why I use the word booze. I can
talk about booze and its effects, but
such q nice expression n the "liquor
question" gets my goat Giving the
stuff the right handle can grab 1t and
tell all know about II.
Here 1t is, in one bunch: Booze
doesn't make winners.
There never was Q winner In the
world that built his winning on booze.
don't care what line you get into,
you won't find one winner who used
the stun to his advantage.
Ask Grover Cleveland Alexander
how much booze has helped to make
him the best pitcher that Charles
Weeghman could buy to give the Cubs
a pennant.

he feeds his football or baseball play
ers, or his track athletes.
Ask Charlie Comiskey-bless his old
heart-if booze ever helped him when
he was st-basing around the country.
Or ask him how much booze has done
for Eddie Collins or Red Faber. or that
center fielder Of his. Happy Felsch.
You'll get the same answer anywhere
you go-the old, old answer to the so
called '1iQuor question" It doesn't
pay, 1t never has paid, and 1t never will
pay.
And winners don't use 1t. They
can't use It and win. And. after all,
the Lord must love q winner. For
winning means clean living. and clean
living means efficiency, and efficiency
means decency. None Of these things
takes of its hat and makes itself at
home where booze hangs out.

man that has won with booze, I'll name
