SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN 'TAREsAlNa
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnlstrs.
tlon, Provide Seven Extra Loavss
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers OF the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
~ equivalent TO about seven one-pound
loases OF bread for. every person In
the country This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings OF barley,
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
5. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def-
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response TO re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and thfeshermen
TO reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
bic minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendation for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
Ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed. But In
proportion TO the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases OF compulsion we're COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tratlon freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshlng campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers OF the United States are
many millions Of dollars ''in pocket

FOR COLDS
AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS
FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are
elated over the fact that they
have at last found a genuine and
dependable remedy for colds,
sore throat influenza and la
grippe. For years they have de-
pended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine,
but unfortunately many people
would not take it because of its
nauseating and dangerous quail
ties
Now that the pharmaceutical
chemists have perfected a nau-
sealess calomel, called Gallo
tabs" whose medicinal virtues
are vastly improved, the doctors
and druggists are claiming that
Calotabs are the ideal remedy to
abort a cold over night and cut
short an attack of sore throat or
la grippe. They are also finding
it most effective as the first step
in the treatment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at
bed time with a swallow of
water, that's all. No salts, no
nausea nor the slightest Interior
ence with your eating, pleasures
or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished and your entire
system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Recommended and
guaranteed by druggists every
where. Price refunded if you
are not delighted. adv.

 Draft Law.
OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
This Leaves the Govern ment a Free Hand | o Compel Service
 of Citizens.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.- The United States Supreme Court has held the selective service as constitutional.
 It contends that the power given Congress to legislate for war includes the power to compel citizens to rem der military service at home or abroad.
 Chief Justice White who delivered the unanimous de-. ciision of the members of the Supreme Bench declared that the court had reached the decision that most of the contentious against com pulsory military training were imaginary rather than real. teai o@
 7 Members of the Socialist order and 1. w. W. sympa- thizers brought suit claim ing that compulsory service was contrary to the United States Constitution.
 The decision of the Su- preme Court leaves the Gov ernment a free hand to compel military service on the part of all citizens.
 The draft decision result ed from appeals in thirteen cases, growing out of con- yictions under the selective draft service. Five cases came from New York State, three from Ohio and four from Minnesota and one from Georgia. The constitutional lty of the act was questioned in all of these appeals.
