WHAT THE FOOD SITUATION is

The men of England Scotland, Ireland, France,
Italy and Belgium fighting; they are not on the
farms. The food production Of these countries has
therefore been greatly reduced. Even before the war
it much less than the amount consumed The dit
ference supplied by the United States Canada,
and other countries, including Russia Roulnanla,
South America, India and Australia.
The difference between production and consumption
is greater than ever and, at the time, food
no longer be obtained from most Of the outside
countries
Therefore, Associates in the war for Democracy
depend upon North America for food as they have
depended BEFORE and they ask us for it with
right which they have had before. For today
they companions in great war against a com
mon enemy. For the present it is THEY who doing
the fighting, the suffering the dyng-in OUR war.
One million Of the finest Young Men Of the United
States will be fighting side by side with the mil
lions of brave soldiers of France Great Britain, Bel
gium and Italy

This inquiry has been received by
the Food Administration from scores
of patriotic country people in North
Carolina who have not been able to
figure out just how pork which they
save can be made to do war service
or prevent death from starvation in
the allied or neutral countries of Eu-

The people who have been making
this inquiry can use poultry, rabbits
and other substitutes for meat and
are In better position to swell the
supply of pork available for export
than any other class of people in the
State, because the substitutes for pork
and beef on the market cost more in
most instances than these products

Bismark, N. D., Jan. 29.-The
North Dakota legislature conven-

Thousands Of farmers, he said
are facing acute conditions be
cause of the bad crop last fall.
The average farmer in North
Datoka raised less than seven
bushels Of low grade wheat to the
acre. With government regu-
lation Of prices, he got an aver
age $1.85 a bushel for this wheat,
Gov. Frazer declared.
Eighty-five per cent Of the pop

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in it,
before breakfast.

TO feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, TO pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician.

Ill denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function OF

waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
Dhate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sWeetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into

Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not sa1ivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t

WHY IT is NECESSARY TO EAT
LESS WHEAT BREAD,


France, Great Britain, Italy and
Belgium must now import 60 per
cent of their breadstuffs, instead of
the 40 per cent which they import
ed before the war
America must supply the greater
part of this need To send them
the least that they can live on, we
must increase or export of wheat
from S8,OOO,OOO bushels to 100000
600 bushels.
We have already exported the
whole Of the surplus of the 1917
harvest, over and above the normal
demands Of our own population.
Therefore, all exports OF wheat
from now forward are limited en-
tirely to the saving made by the
American people in their cOnsump-
ton of wheat and wheat products
HOW YOU CAN HELP.
Have at least one meal a day
| without wheat bread. Use instead
| corn, cat, rye, barley, or mixed
| cereal breads.
Eat less cake and pastry.
Order wheat bread from your
baker at least "a hours in advance,
/ so that he will not bake too much.
| Cut the loaf of whea bread on the
table Use all stale bread for toast
| or cooking.

ENGLISH LABOR
HAS new BIRTH
Bv Lowell Mellett

United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Nottingham, Eng. Jan. 29.-The
Labor Party is in National con-
ference that is likely to have con
sequences affecting the next sew
cal generations OF British poll
tics. The chief question before
the three-day meeting in whether
or not the Labor Party shall
cease to be simply the represent
atives Of organized labor and
kindred societies and become in
stead a full-fedged political ar
ganization seeking votes wherever
they may be found.
The decision is expected to be
in favor Of the big step forward
The party's executive committee
has recommended it. They believe
the labor Party, now II years
old, is destined to play as big a
part in the present century as the
Liberal Party played in the Nine
teenth century. Their goal,
frankly admitted, is a labor gov
eminent and they have confidence
that the goal is not far distant
as it may seem.
The recent alignment Of the big
cooperative societies with the La
Dor Party, bring the number OF
votes represented up to about 4, /
100000, is one cause for this con
fidence. Broadening the party $
program still further, the lead
ers claim, should give them suf-
ficlent votes to sweep the country
Aside from this predominant
question, circumference has many
live issues before it. One is wheth
er or not Labor Party representa-
tlves should withdraw from tn,
present Coalition, variously word
ed, to this effect before the meet
ing.
Taxation questions have brought
a flood Of resolutions. The re-
tention Of excess profits tax after
the war is proposed on the one
hand and an Immediate levy on
capitol on the other, by different
organizations. Proposals to raise
the minimum income subject tc
the income tax are numerous
The present minimum is $3.50.

naturalization Of all means OF

change, is asked by the Great

Council and the Edinburgh La
Dor Party, with special emphas

'LETTERS-F TROMBONE" WEEK
War Department Commission Wants
Soldiers Kin to Help Maintain
Morale of Army.

New York.-The week of December
Is has been designated by the wal
department commission on training
camp activities as time for specia
letters to be written by mothers,
fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts
of the men now overseas. The week
has been called From Home
week, and the purpose is to apply the
"hOme touch" to br0ad-gauged mill
tary program for maintaining the
morale of the men who find them
selves idle after weeks of strenuous
fighting. The war department hopes,
through these letters to keep the men
contented, straight" and ambitious
to live up to the high ideals Of Amer
lean manhood.
A model letter such as the govern
ment wants the mothers and fathers
especially to write has been prepared
by the. war department. This, with
letters from Secretary of War Baker
and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of
the commission, indorsing the plan,
has been mailed to newspapers
throughout the country. The letter
particularly asks that the men over
seas direct their attention to whole
some recreation and activities, instead
of to the unwholesome influences that
might result from the enforced period
of idleness wherever large bodies of
troops are awaiting orders to return
home.

1t was, my wave found itself the first

nothing between us and Fritz but g.

We had the edge of a wood and
a trench we found there. Fritz had
the hill in front of us, and there we
were. This was our last day, as we
were relieved that night. 1t was the
hardest day of all. The Germans
had the crest of the hill, while we
lay in the trenches on the slope be-
low them. We tried shipping, but
had to give that up, as every time
we started anything they would open
up with their trench mortar, one
Founders and light artillery. I
heard from the French before that
Fritz had listening machines in the
form of dictaphones. l came to be-
lieve it that day, for every time we
would kick against tree or bush,
they would drop a few over Just to,
let us know they knew where we
were: 1t seemed like they could
hear us If we took deep breath, and
as they had our range, we being in
their trenches, we had to lie pretty
low. H
THAT night we were relieved and
liked back to Thiaucourt,. and tho
every one of US was about all in,

got up by this time, and the division
