PATRIOTIC MEET.
ING LAST SUNDAY

Mr. Stevenson, of Fort Morgan
brought an important message tt
the people of Raymer last Sunday
evening The meeting was calico
for the purpose of urging upon oul
people more and more the great neee
OF the government.
The speaker told OF the great num-
bers OF men that had been taken
from the fields of production and be
come destroyers OF food, property and
life, until hunger and famine threat
ened the orld. The figures were as
founding, running into billions. wa,
beyond the comprehension OF the
mind. but it should impress upon
each mind the need OF saving all We
can possibly save. and producing all
We can produce.
We hear this criticism made, that
other classes need this urging just
as much as the farmer. The urging
should be brought home TO ever,
man, but 1t seems to us that II does
little good for a speaker to come tt
the farmer and tell him what the
man in business should do
MIR. Stevenson is an earnest
speaker. shows that he means wha'
he says and that he is willing Il
take his own advice.

FASCINATION OF AIR LIFE
FIrst Trip In Army AIrpIane 10
Thriller Apart From Everything
EIse In Life, Says Filler.

An aviation student In one Of the
Western schools declares that the
sensation Of the first trip In one of
the governments aircraft is not to be
compared with anything else he ever
experienced. He explained 1t thus:
Il wish had the ability to describe
the fascination Of this work Of learn
Ing to be the cavalry Of the air, or
eyes Of the army. or anything else one
chooses to call us.
Let me tell you that your first trip
In an airplane is thing apart. abso-
lutely new and different from any ex-
perlence that gou ever had.
you climb into the bus with your
sweater and your leather helmet and
goggles, looking like something you
would throw raw fish to II you saw 1t
In a cage, and the lieutenant shoves on
the power and you 20 humping and
bouncing along the ground with big
wind In your face and the prop spin
ming out In front like a Dutch wind
mill gone crazy.
"Then suddenly the bumps are gone
and you 20 whirring swiftly and stead
lily up into the clear air and sunshine
and the earth falls away like fade
away on a movie screen and the fool
ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces at you as you 60
over.
Il hope ! don't get mumps or liver
complaint or some fool thing that will
keep me out Of 1t all. This Is my pet
fear more than that Of taking a fall
or getting smashed Into"

FOOD-HERE AND THERE

How slowly among a prosperous
people, safe from actual invasion. the
grim realities and attendant necess-
tiles OF war make headway.
1t was our privilege little while
ago attend a dinner where the prin-
cipal speaker was gifted French
man who has been loaned to this
country to aid It's preparations for
active participation in the war.
We knew that he had served for
months in the trenches and caves
before verdun.
We thought how pleasant must be
the constrast for him between all
that and the great cheerful banquet
room spread out before him-men in
evening dress, tables decorated with
flowers, softly glowing candles,
cleaning silver and china. How
pleasant just to be warm again
and to be fed-unstintingly!
With the serving of the oysters
our doubts began.
He had had no oysters at Verdun.
Our doubts progress with the
courses. There had been for him
there no olives, no celery, no soup, NO
chop with peas, no ice, no broiled
half chicken, no potatoes soufiie, no
salad, dessert, demi-tasse, with
cheese and crackers.
Our appetite began to dwindle
with the soup and we lost 1t for
good with the chop. The finger-bowl
was Just an insult For We were
thinking about his thoughts in the
presence OF all this food.
II was not a pleasant contras, at all
for him. II couldn't be. For while
he was here he knew that his COM
rades in arms were still living like
troglodytes in the caves before Yer
dun. and in thousands of miles of the
trench network spreading from Swift
zerland to the sea.
How wrong II must all seem to
him-how pitifuly unjust to those
millions of soldiers and civilians
fighting our battle over there on ra-
tions barely sufficient to tie soul and
body together.
Our "meatless days"-our wheat
less days"-unenforced, half observ-
cd, begrudged-absolutely useless SO
- as the kindling spirit OF sacri-
: !, tils to grace them. Everybody s
Z Bf'zine.

FOOD THE SOLDIER REQUIRES
Twelve Ounces Of Meat or Its Equiva.
lent, Fruits, Fat. Bread or Cereal,
Sugar or Sirup.

The general knows to nicely just
what part each regiment is to play In a
campaign, and the girl may learn to
marshal the foods represented In the
fve great groups so that she knows
Just which group of foods will pro-
vide strong muscles to carry the SOL
dier Into battle, which will furnish
strong bones to meet the onslaught,
which the heat for the struggle, and
finally, how much driving-power Is
needed to carry It through, according
to Winifred Stuart Gibbs in st. Mich
olas.
So, then. when We marshal our forces
we find that man needs In day
IL ounces Of one, or Of a combination,
Of the following: Meat, poultry,
cheese, dried vegetables, fish or eggs.
To vary the above he may count every
glass Of milk drunk equal to an ounce
OF any one Of the others.
The soldiers, either In home or mill
tary life. must have four pounds Of
fresh fruit and vegetables In order to
keep the bony structure In good condi-
ton. He will need the three-quarters
of a cupful Of fat tthis includes but
ter. oil. the fat Of meat eaten, or any
other fat In the daily dieD to keep
him warm, and to this group he must
add one and one-fourth pounds of
bread or cereal; and finally, In order
to complete the necessary amount of
driving-power, he must have two
ounces Of sugar or one-third Of a cup
full Of sirup.

Cant Lose Glasses.

Military eyeglasses is the contribu.
ton to the field Of war Inventions by
DR.. Robert J. James, well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features of the new
eyeglasses. according to the inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the tightening hold on the
nose, which is injurious to ones health
and comfort, is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side Of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate at the end of
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest on any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as Is the case when the
only point Of suspension Is at the nose.

Razor 6trop Rhxmesters.

The dearth Of BARRIERS has forced a
good many men to shave themselves
who. before the war. regarded even a
safety razor as fearsome and dan.
gerous implement.
There is kind Of moral satisfac-
tion In shaving ones self which is in
duced by no other toilet function. !
know a verse writer of some dlstinc-
tion. observes writer In the London
Chronicle, who asserts that his hap
plest rhyming feats always come to
him with the rhythmic sweep Of the
lather brush and the razor-not a
safety.
And our novellsts, particularly the
Victorian ones, are fond Of the dress
ing gown and shaving dishabille of
their heroes.
The most remarkable barber In Eng
lish literature is Thackeray's Mr.. Egg
lantine, whose affection for "The Raw
enswing" was inspired by the glorIes
Of that young woman's hair.

Opening Of Suex Canal.

'It cannot be made, 1t shall not be
made. 1t will not be made; but II 1t
were made, there would be war be-
tween England and France for the pos
session Of Egypt" So said Lord Palm
erston. in 1851, with regard to the then
proposed Suez canal.
Nevertheless the forty-eighth ami
versary Of the inauguration Of the for
hidden waterway has passed, writes n
London correspondent. The first fleet,
consisting Of 40 vessels, passed
through next day, on November II,
1859. The greatest draught was only

Food for the Doo.

Meat is the natural diet of the wild
dog and should be an important item
In the sporting dogs diet, observes
Outing. So long as 1t Is untalnted II
makes little difference whether 1t is
horse, beef or mutton, but pork is not
30 good, and any quantities Of fat
should not be fed. Generally 1t is
best to cook the meat In a sort Of
stew with vegetables mixed. but occa-
sionally dinner of raw lean meat Is
welcome change and serves as a
tonic and mild laxative. During the
hunting season 1t is a mighty good
Sunday dinner for the shooting dog.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED,


An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
nies, in an interview Of the subject
made the astonishing statement that one
reason why so many applicants for in
surance are rejected Is because kidney
trouble Is so common to the American
people, and the large majority OF those
whose applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful In overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence OF DR.. Kilmer's swamp Root
Is soon realized. II stands the highest
for its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp Root Is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need OF
such a remedy to- give il trial. II 10
on sale at all drug stores in bottles OF
two sizes, medium and large.
However, II you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghsmton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention the Oklahoma City Daily
Times. (Adv.)
