AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events It
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

SUGAR SHOWED,
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
OF Low Supplies

The fact that the people OF the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August. September and october
consumption Of sugar proves conciu-
sIyely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 2I9,-
900 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctlons of the Fooo
Administration this country woulC
have been in the throes of sugar
| famine DeIOre tHe eliu VI august w"
visible supplies were so low as to brini
great anxiety to those familiar will
the sugar situation. They feared tina
it would be absolutely impossible t
reduce consumption to a APPOINT wher
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Foo
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consumT
ton Of sugar. By it we have been abb
to bridge over the period of stringenc
until the new beet and Louisiana can
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position S
that II we choose we may return t
our normal home use of sugar, an
Europe, with the release Of ships to 6
far afield, can maintain Its recent r.
stricted rations. If, however, thos
nations are to increase their use

pressing and massaging about the
nostrills and under the eyes to loosen
the accumulated secretion. If there is
much swelling under the eyes it must
be carefully opened with sharp, clean
knife, all the secretion removed, and
the cavity washed with one of the
aforementioned solutions. A pledget
of cotton moistened with the solution
may be left in the opening for an hour
or two, or it may be busted with iodo-

PRAISES COUNTRY
PRESS LOYALTY

The following article praising the
loyalty of the country press of Amer
lea was given prominence in the cur
rent issue of Successful Farming, pub
lished by E. 7. Meredith, a dollar-a-
year man in Washington, and who full
" realizes the problems of the coun-
"Among the many classes of citi-
zens who have shown distinct patriot
ism and bravery in this time of crisis,
the publishers of a large number of
small-town newspapers should not be
overlooked. In many cases they have
thrown into the balance their very
means of livelihood and have refused
to be buffled by diJoyal subscribers or
advertisers. Even in communities
where the largest numbers of Ger
man sympathizers are found and con-
sequently the local publisher is large
ly dependent upon them for the ex-
istence of his paper, he has risked the
destruction of his business through
loss of this support and has done all
in his power to further the cause of
true patriotism and eradicate disloy,
atty.
1.-THE patriotic support given by the
local newspapers to every war prof.
ect has been one of the most impor.
tant factors in their success. The lib
eral space given to every worthy
cause costs the publisher real money
and in giving his space he is giving Of
his stock in trade in just the SAINT
way that farmer might contribute 6
hog or ten bushels of corn to the Rec
| Cross or other funds"

When your back is broke and your eyes are blurred
And your shin bones knock and your tongue furred
And your tonse squeak and your hair gets dry,
And you're doggone that you're going to die,
But you're skeered you won't and afraid you will
Just drag to bed and have your chill
And pray the Lord to you through,
For you've got the Flu, boy-you've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt goes fiat,
And you're twice mean Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like hard boiled nurse;
When your lattice aches and your heads a-buzz,
And nothing is it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you
You've got the Flu, boy, you've got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been through.
1t is by Misery out of Despair;
It pulls your teeth and curls your hair;
1t Trims your blood and bares your bones,
And fills your with means and groans
And sometimes, maybe, you get well.
Some call it Flu-I call it hell!
