DOCTORS FOR PROHIBITION

The speech made by DIR. Arthur
Dean Bcvan on the occasion OF his
installation is president of the
American Medical Association at
its recent convention was 4 speech
in favor of national prohibition.
There can be no doubt" said
Doctor Bevan. that the greatest
single factor Ne can control in the
interest OF the public health Of the
nation would be the elimination OF
alcoholic drink. ! want to plead for
the united action OF the organized
medical profession OF the country
TO secure protection by law against
the injury tina; drink is doing to our
people, not as a political measure
hut as the most important public
health measure that could be Sc
cured He also said that for the
prosecution Of the war we must
organize the entire nation in the
most efficient way possible. and
this cannot be done without elimi-
mating drink"
One by one the big constructive
forces oi the nation line up on the
non-alcoholic side OF the question.
The only big force lett seems to be
that OF men who make and sell the
alcoholic beverages. And as the
manufacturer turn to the produc-
tion OF soft drinks, or OF alcohol for
industrial purposes, or any OF the
numerous allied products for which
there Is a great and wholesome de
mand, they find themselves faring
quit as prospcrously as in tn good
old days.
1t Is not without great significance
that the American Medical Asso-
citation stands SO strongly Tor Try
ness. In time even the brewers and
distillers may join them.

NEW FLOUR CARD
SCHEME ADOPTED.
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRA-
TOR ISSUING THE LATEST
PERMITS

Russell Brown, county food ad-
ministraior, is engaged in issuing
-four cards to follow the first ones
issued May Is and expiring June
25. He has adopted new plan, one
which will MAKE less work in issu-
ing the cards and which will give
the people much less trouble.
Each card is to be issued good for
4S pounds of -four. Each person in
family is allowed six pounds OF
-four each mouth. Thus if there are
eight persons in a family the card
will be good for one month. If
there are four persons in family
the card will tc good for two
II onths. and if there are only two
in the family il will be good ior four
months.
This will be an advantage to those
receiving the card, bat woe betide
them il they set the idea they can
cat their cake and have it," for ii
they use up the card allotted them
before the date Of expiration mark
cd upon it, and they will all be SO
marked, they mst go without flour

Mr.. Brown is row engaged in fill
ing oul .hese cards and expects to
lave them in the mail so as to be
delivered by June 25, the date OF the
expiration OF outstanding cards. In
this connection It may be stated
that dealers should be prompt in
turning IN cards that have been sur
rendered, 70 in no case will a new
card be sent to the consumer until
the old card reaches the office OF the
iOod administrator.

terms Of the recent treaty between
Wilhelm and karl. Military unity
is being perfected. Such Prussian

THE FOOD BANK ACCOUNT.

The food administration does moi
want the country to go hungry at
any time. Moreover, it does not
want the country at any time to
lack any one OF the necessary forms
of food. 1t wants to keep the Amer
lean people amply nourished no
matter what the duration or eXigen-
cies OF the war.
For this reason the adminlStra'
ion wishes to establish bank ac-
count" OF food stored for a rainy
day. In many the rainy days
are every day in the matter OF food,
and the bank balance is already ov-
erdraWn. This must not happen in
America.
Therefore. although the wheat

The Chancellor was in his old smoking
coat and slippers. He had made an ef-
fort TO don his tunic. but Hedwig. on
Mathilde's heels, caught him in the act.
And, after n glance at her face, he re-
linquished the idea, bowed over her hand
and drew up chair for her.
And that was how the Chancellor OF
the kingdom learned that Captain
Larisch, aide-de-camp 20 his Royal
Highness tho Crown Prince, had dis
appeared.

gripped hard at the arms of his chair.
He will turn up. very much ashamed

That is what you want mo to believe.
You know better"
He leaned back in his chair and con-
sidered her from under his heavy brows.
So this was how things were: another
and an unlooked-for complication. Out

footsteps as she waited impatiently for

BRITISH CONFIDENT THEY
 HOLD GERMAN ATTACKS
So It Has Been Decided Not to Call
 Upon the American Troops.

Washington May 12.-News of the British statement that the entente is so cindent of it's ability to hold the Germans that the American army is not to be used until it becomes a com plete and self-supporting force was received by army officials here tonight with frank delight not only because of the supreme confidence indicated by such decision but On account of the keen desire of American military men to take the field against the enemy as distinctly American force.
 It was evident however. that off, ciaIs of the war department were pug zed by. the Ottawa despatch quoting the British war summary. In the ab- sence Of Secretary Baker, who is in the south on an inspection tour, no one would talk officially, but the impress sion was given that no information had reached the department to indl- cate an intention to change the an nounced policy of brigading Americans
 with the British and French armies so as to hasten their arrival at the front to aid in stemming the German as- sault.
 It is no secret that President Will son and his. military advisors con- sented to this arrangement only tc
 meet a great emergency and to aid ir welding the allied armies on the west ern frNnt into one effective force,
