average child to-day does not have
enough Of the right sort Of food and
can not have it's food cut down nor
the important articles of its diet re-
placed by questionable substitutes
without grave danger Of increasing
malnutrition in our child population.
Clean, fresh cows milk is the best
available form tof milk for children
after they are weaned. Pasteurized
milk, sterilized milk, or canned milk,
may be substituted for it when clean
fresh cows milk cannot be obtained.
The transportation of food to Eu-
rope and to distant parts of our own
country, where the dairy business
has not been developed, makes the
production of good quality of pure
canned milk necessary. Evaporated
milk (unsweetened condensed) and
dry milk are the best available forms
of canned milk for the use of chill
dren. Dry milk (milk POWDER, if
its quality can be assured, appears to
be the most desirable form Of milk
for distant transportation, for the
use of young children, or for general
household use where fresh or pas
teurized milk is not obtainable.
Every sort must be made to furnish
some form of clean whole milk for
the use of our child population, in
order that war conditions may not
have the adverse effect on them so
plainly visible in the countries of
Europe.
Lowered nutrition in children
means decreased vitality and lowered
resistance to disease. If the nu-
triton of our children is impaired for
any length of time, full juvenile de-
velopment will be permanently ar
rested. Nor is the physical stunt
ing of the race the only evil that Sc
rious undernourishment of our child
population entails. Intellectual and
moral abnormality are largely in
fuenced by physical health, and a
period of malnutrition among the
children of America may easily be
followed by period of intellectual
and moral deterioration.
Victory in arms will be settled in
this war by the stamina of our fight
ing men. Ultimate victory cannot
come only to Nation that carefully
conserves the stamina of its children,
upon whom depends the future of the
race.

=. This paper has enlisted
NTH the government in the
cause Of america for the
bcriod Of the war 1900.

We also ran. This has reference
to the editor of this paper who was
defeated on Tuesday for the legis-
lature. No, we are not mad at any
body. We only regret that we were
not elected and by faithful service
to the district in which we have so
long made our home and for which
we have for thirty years put in our
best ticks, show that we were act
ually needed in the state capitol and
that the district lost good booster
in the legislature when they turned
US down. In our country newspaper
way we thought we could be of some
use to the district with thirty years
of experience among men who do
things. However, we can stay at
home and do our mite of boosting
just as we have been accustomed to
in the past. The Vermilion Range
will pull along without representa-
tive for few years longer and Ely
will continue to grow bigger and will
not fall off the map. We simply
did not land. We sincerely thank
our friends and especially the news
paper boys for their very liberal sup
port and hope to be able to recipro-
crate some day. Our campaign
was not made with malice toward
anyone heretofore holding the place
sought. In spirit of fair play we
thought this section of the district
was entitled to some consideration
in return for the votes given in the
past. In this we were mistaken.
There is no such thing.

The complete defeat of Germany
the total destruction of her military
power including the razing of her
fortresses, the division of her fleet
and the humiliation of her munition
factories; adequate punishment of
the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs and
the delivery into the hands of the
Allies of those responsible for the
four years of frightfulness in Bel
gium, France and other countries
where the Beast has held sway; the
delivery into the hands of a firing
squad of those responsible for the
ruination of the women of the in
vaded countries and those who al
lowed and ordered them to do so; in
fact, the amputation of the "Herr
Won" from the German country by
means of shooting or any of the other
means of determination, should be
essential conditions of peace when
treating with this murderous outfit.
The war should be taken into Ger
many and general cleanup made in
titles and war lords.

Sakri Jokela, who had three of his
children burned to death few years
ago, when his home burned and again

Mrs. Gust Jokela, sister-in-law of
Sakri Jokela who died Tuesday, died
on Wednesday of influenza, after CIV

The increasing number of cases Of
influenza in the village has caused the
local Board of Health to make rul-
ing that delivery men coming out
here from Ely shall not be allowed to
enter the houses but must leave their
goods outside, both for the protection
of themselves and other people. A
refusal to comply with this ruling will
render them liable to arrest and will
also cause them to be stopped from
coming here altogether.
Deputy Hendrickson made a trip
to Hurley, Wisconsin, on Sunday to
make a search for John Harri who
deserted his wife and children here

Board, were unable to locate him,
Hendrickson picked him up within
an hour after his arrival, and re-
turned him to Section 80.

Fall without pumkin pie would be a
real blow to the average American
household. Therefore, the conserva-
ton cooks of the food administration
have evolved conservation pump
kin pie for the patriotic cooks in the
individual kitchens. This is the way
it is made.

strained.
"a cup molasses or sorghum
" cup molasses sorghum
teaspoonful cinnamon
" teaspoon ginger

eggs and milk and bake in pie plate
lined with conservation crust made
from / u cups wheat or rye flour. n
cup barley or corn -four, " teaspoon
salt, " to " cup fat.
Add water to make a stiff dough,
remembering that wheat substitutes
need little more water than all

The food administration has in
creased the household allowance of
sugar from two pounds to three
pounds per person per month with
the same ration to public eating
places from November 1. The new
regulations also permit the purchase
of the family's whole monthly al
lowance at one time. The increase
in sugar is due to the rapid manufac-
ture of the new crop of beet sugar
in the west and the new crop of
louisiana cane sugar in the south.
Freer railway transportation con-
ditions added to the increase also
and the saving due to patriotic con-
servation on the part of the citizens
during the last four months. The
new supply justifies and makes pos
sible the freer use of the apple, cram
berry and grapefruit products and

MILK THE CHILDREN'S FOOD
A FEW AND TIMELY

Milk'is the indispensable food for
children, and whole milk in some
form must be furnished them, if the
nutrition of the average child
is to be maintained and if normal
growth in height and weight is to be
assured.

In present day conduct Of affairs,
capital is very necessary thing, and
we must think highly of those men
who have the ability to use it for
the end of human betterment. La.

and we should apply it ungrudgingly,
unselfishly, knowing that everything
each one Of US does must contribute
to the general MISUNDERSTANDING.

The need of careful feeding and
comfortable housing of animals and
poultry is urged upon farmers by the
food administration. More than a
million tons of the food stuffs, to be
shipped overseas, must comprise
meat, fats, and poultry products.
The farm is the source of American
food and the wise use of animal feeds
which produces maximum results
from the feed consumed, is the basis
for this food. Meat, milk, and poul-
try products all must be saved in
large quantities this year.
Keep saving shelf in your pam
try. Have a jar for fats-rinds Of
bacon, outside cuttings Of other
meat which may not be cooked; add
also the oils from canned fish, and all
bits which may go into the making
Of fats for government use. Keep
another jar for fruit pits. They
make gas masks. Even the time
honored prune has come to the exal-
ted position Of harboring a stone
which when placed with some two or
three hundred other prune stones
may protect one boy against the
deadliest of German poison gas. 1t
takes 200 peach pits for one mask.
Every soldier takes two masks into
action. Figure for yourself how many
pits will be necessary when we have
five million men in action. Pits Of
apricots, olives, dates, cherries,
plums are just as good. Seven pounds
of the shells of Brazil nuts and hick-
DRY nuts, and walnuts and butter
nuts will make another mask. No
matter how small the amount your
contribution may be, send it. Every
little bit helps Be an ammunition

SIMS PARD0NED BY GOVERNOR
Former State Senator Had Served
 Four Months 0f Term.

Little Rock, June 27.-Former State Senator s. c. Sims of Prairie county was granted a full and unconditional nardon by Governor Brough yester- day. Senator Sims was convicted O. receiving 6 bribe in the 1917 spring term of First Division Circuit Court of this county and was sentenced to serve one year in the state penitentl- ary and was fined $1,S00. He appealed the case to the Supreme court, Which affirmed the judgment Of the lower court in November, 1917. In Eecem- Der Sims wsls granted q stay of ab- sence of 60 days. He began serving his sentence in February.
 Governor Brough in granting the pardon yesterday said he felt the majesty of the law has been enforced because this is the longest term of this character for this crime that any man has ever been called upon to serve in Arkensas. Governor Brough said that, believing that Sims was guilty, he has declined continuously, in spite of most urgent solicitations from thousands of prominent citizens all over the state, to intervene before Senator Sims served reasonable part and has been eligible for some time to parole so that the pardon has the same effect as a parole, plus the restora- tion of his citizenship.
 It was said yesterday that peniten- tiary authorities had reported that Sims has made an ideal prisoner.
 Governor Brough, in issuing the pardon, called attention to the fact that a senatorial collague of Sen- ator Sims (Former Senator Iverson Burgess who was infinitely more guilty than Senator Sims, has so far been allowed to go practically scot free and that this legislator, rather than Senator Sims, was the arch con- spirator in the legislative corruption, which was scandal and stench in the nostrils of all self-respecting citizens of Arkansas"
 Governor Brough said he did not in 'sny way condone the crime of which Sims was convicted and stated that as long as he is governor he will see that the law is enforced should any legis- lator attempt to thwart the express sion and voting of honest convictions in the legislature. It is his belief, however that Senator Sims has suf- cered the necessary ehumiliation and paid penalty that will satisfy the law for his crime.
 Sims was accused of accepting $9O0 to influence his action in respect to a bill pending in the 1917 legislature to provide for the regulation and taxation of trading stamps It was alleged that the bribe was paid by one John McGraw, a detective, in the presence of Senator Burgess, who was also implicated in the same transac- tiOn.

 a small town, Pauillac. Lots of peo-
 pie pass all the time and we talk to
 them. It is fun to try to talk French.
 am studying it and can speak quite few words now. l hope to be able to carry on conversation soon. I am
 really enjoying myself and life is pret- ty easy and eats good as in the states.
 The French are in pretty poor shape.
 In the country they wear wooden
 shoes and neither town nor country
 people have much to eat. All Frenchman wants is a piece of bread
 (war road) and big bottle Of wine.
 The wine is no more than cider and
 you can drink gallon and not feel
 it. They raise mostly grapes. You
 will see a big field of grapes, and in
 one corner there will be only small
 garden of potatoes, cabbage and a few
 two-wheel carts for hauling and small
 ponies, jacks or steers, some use dogs.
 I suppose their good stock is at the front There are few automobiles
 here. Both young and old ride bicy- cles or walk. The people seem to be
 slow, but when they do anything, they
 do it good Their buildings are built
 of stone and will last for centuries.
 There is practically no lumber here and all houses are covered with tile
 roofing. All fences are hedges or
 built of stone. All of the young men are at the front, the old men do the
 work and guard German prisoners. The German prisoners are good work CTS and are kept at work, but they are well fed and cared for. I do not be- lieve they would escape if they could. About the war, I know no more about that than you do. We get pagers but they tell little. All the leading New York papers publish Paris editions in English. They sell for Sc and are four page papers. We get them every day and keep in touch with few things. I am still with the bunch of fellows that l left the States with, and we are all enjoying life. We have nothing to worry about and are satis fled to stay here and do our bit l expect to stay here until can come home fo rg0od. I am going to make some pictures and sehd you some. Wednesday is payday and I am glad. for am down to $1.0O. I don't need money here only for tobacco. The Y. M. c. A. keep plenty of tobacco and cigarettes. The French have no to- bacco and go wild over American to- bacco We are not allowed to give 1 or sell them any, as it is too hard to | get oyer here.

Dear folks at home:
 Just a, few words today to let you hear from me. There is nothing to write of interest, only that l am well and feeling fine, but the heat sure makes me lazy. Today is my day off guard duty. I did my washing this morning and will spend the afternoon sleeping. I suppose, as there is noth- ing else to do. I wrote you long letter and mailed it on the President Lincoln before I left her, but as she was sunk you will not likely get it. l left her only {. few days before she left port at Brest and was sunk at sea. But anyway, I had nice trip on her and nothing exciting happened on her way over. I had several friends on her but have not heard whether or not they were saved
 At anytime you do not hear from me for time, just keep writing me here as it will be forwarded I am likely to be here { Il summer ahd winter but one can never tell where or when they will go. l will write you often and tell you what can, but of course that is little. You likely hear more war news there than 1 do No one here ever studies about what is going on at the front. Here, there is every nationality on earth, French, Chinese, African, Siberian, American, English, Spanish, Germans, Austrian, Russian, and every other kind I suppose It seems to be general mixup.
 Give my regards to the boys. Love to all.
