CLailes w. Mears recently gave address II Detroit before the Board of Trade in which he forc ibly presented tie fact business 1erywhert arc assisting in the war. He says 5,girnbs to think and create and cooperate never before He s,ys it is ur to the United States t, prcduce and at the saino time furnish fighting men; tha a nation which tan. oi produce necessary mat 2r ias and foods, cannot hope to win. In h's relnarl he says:
 There is no doubt whatever that, busi- ness men and as individuals, owe unswerv- ing allegiance to this Nation. which, above all ar nations stands for the freedom of man.
 We have no right do anything whatever that embarrasses government in the fight for victory.
 That then, which is best for the Nation, is that which we as free citizens must do and do gladly.
 If any will not do gladly what he ought to do he needs to be reminded that the ernment has sovereign power. Which means that what it needs it take.
 This power is necessary to our national life. We have reposed this power in men who, yer fly believe, from President Wilson down, competent carry the When they want help they will let know. Mean time must stick eagerly to our several tasks thereby helping to keep this old world right side up
 Nor need we worry about whether our goods interfere with war, because surely there is sun in the sky, surely will that matter operate automatically H for instance you make and sell goods containing copper, and needs all the copper that can be produced, you will eventually be unable to buy copper Then less you substitute for copper and can get such substitute you will cease to make those particular goods and the public will be unable to spend its money for them The uni versal law of supply and demand, coupled with the sovereignty of government, will decide whether you stay in business shut up shop.

BREAKS INTO OUR GAME-LAw WISHES
Anchorage Democrat)


 Teddy, the conserver, late President of the Unit. ed States and general all around leading citizen whose biggest handicap is his Republican and Bull Moose tendencies, this week breaks into print (and it's mighty poor week when he isn't able to break into at least that much) with the suggestion that Delegate Suzers bill providing for less stringency in the game laws and permitting Alaskans to get out of the game have, be held up
 Teddy made a very credtabe President and as press agent he's scream But when comes to his record in locking up Alaskan resources the applause always from the country clubs around Hartford, Oyster Bay and Genneseo He fixed it un so that our brown bear is privileged character We would like to see him view the work of said p. c. in the instance of the mans body that was brought to Anchorage couple of years ago, mangled beyond recognition; the instance of man from Seward who horribly mutiliaed that although his life was spared by Mir Protected Bruin he committed sui. eide as result of his injuries few years later.
 Sulzer knows the conditions in Alaska He only acted after being requested so by the people of the district And, although it may be a little em barrassing to Teddy to have his conservation ideas interferred with the Suzer game bill should become law

BE SURE THAT YOU GET
ENOUGH VITAMlNES

In southeastern Asia people have
lately been dying by thousands of a
mysterious disease. The malady af-
.iects the nervous system and finally
lysis sets in.
1.-The cause has O"ly recently been
discovered 1t is a lack Of vita
mines"
Nobody until lately ever heard of
vitamines. But it seems that they
are an essential element of foods.
Deprived of them we should all soon
perish even though we might have
plenty to eat
Vit9mines are found in tie outer
part of cereal grains In south east
ern Asia the people live almost Who'll
ly on rice. Unfortunately the rice in
the process of preparation for market,
is polished. e., deprived of its outer
coat, and, with the latter, of its vita
mines Hence the trouble.
The rice we eat is similarly treated.

But it furnishes only small part of
our diet. Most of us set our vitamines
from other kinds of food.
Science thinks it regrettable that
vitamines The roller process of
milling removes he bran or outer coat
of the wheat germ and also the seed
germs, which contain vitamines.
The bran and the germs, discarded
as human food, are put in the mar
ket as food for cattle, horses and
swine. They get the vitamines we
ought to have in our bread
The housewife demands white flour
If it were MOI very white she would
not believe that it was pure. So she
gets only, the starchy interior of the
wheat grain; the vitamines are left
out. Another reason why such flour
is referred is that l. keeps better
than flour made form whole wheat
Highly milled corn-meal is likewise
lacking in vitamines. But there is an
other trouble about it. Such meal,
when mixed with salt and wataer does.
not yield a bread of the same lightness
as the oldfashioned meal According
ly the housewife resorts to artificia-
leavening- soda
-
Baking soda, unluckily, develops,
in the high heat Of the oven, = strong
alkali, and alkalies destroy yitamines.
Many experiments have recently
been made in the feeding of chickens
and pigeons on cereal foods devoid of
their vitamines AS result, the birds
invaribly develop disease of the enr.
vous system. terminating in paralysis
ard death. But when birds thus treat
ed, and manifestly in the last throes,
are given an injection of so small
quantity OF vitamires as can be held
on the point of a penknife. they are
up and walking about almost recov-
cred, inside of thirty minutes
Meat, eggs and milk are rich in
vitamines But those foods are be-
coming so expensive that the poor
nowadays do not gel enough of them
to make up for the lack of vitamines
in their bread and other foods of cere-
al origin.

COTTON SHOWS PROGRESS
average Is $40 Of Normal as Of
June %

The condition Of the cotton crop
ia the ten principal producing
states, as of date June %. was "a 8
per cent, according to information
sent in by Commercial Appeal cor
respondents.
This, compared with the govern
ment's report as Of May Is, which
was so 8 per cent, shows improve
ment. It compares with an Of
fetal condition Of 70 8 as Of June
% last year aud a 10-year average
of 1913.
The weather during the past 80
days has been almost ideal, but
scarcity of labor has interfered
with timely cultivation to a great
extent, although fields generally
are clean.
Many correspondents report that
the crop has made fair progress,
but no improvement; others that
it has simply held its own. while
some say the crops in their sections
are less promising than they were
a month ago.
Blooms are reported from prac-
tically all sections Of the belt. al
though some planting was still go
ing on in northwestern Texas.
Insects have caused no great
damage, although boil weevil has
reappeared in large numbers in
Georgia and also becoming active
in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas.
Tennessee cotton farmers say
they never had a better promise
for full crop. Weather condi-
tions have been splendid, insects
are bothering none, labor, while
scarce and high, has been sufficient
with the help Of other conditions,
and cultivation has been good and
fields are free from grass. The
only complaint, and that is not
general, is that the plant may be
growing too fast, running to weed,
not putting on a normal amount
OF square and outstripping root
development. Blossoms were re-
ported during the past week.
