SAVING VS.. SKIMPING

~CTING on the theory that
N flood will win the war
some people regard it as
their duty to partly starve
themselves. They fail to dis
tinguish the real meaning of
the governments requests.
Not skimping is desired, but
care. The problem is not SO
much to save food as to save
certain kinds of food which by
their nature or by scarcity
abroad are needed for export
chiefly wheat, beef, pork in
all its forms and sugar. For
all save the last there are ad-
mirable substitutes.
Food must win the war. The
great majority of our people
will cheerfully cooperate in
saving food for the allies who
fight our battles while we arm.
If friends of Germany here are
aided by careless Americans
we may be driven to adopt
food cards, a vexatious and
costly method of accomplish
ing what the people should do
of their own accord. In one
way or another it will be done

For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
le applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or S1.00 for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
wounds and chatting. 1t penetrates, cleanses
and soothes. Zemo is a clean, dependable
and inexpensive, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you
have everusedis asehective and satisfying.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
RELIEF WORKERS

Volunteer heinn-s among the sick
should remember that:
1. Influenza is communicable
disease. After caring for a sick person
Don't put your hands to your face un-
til your hands have been washed. Roll
up your sleeves while you work and
hands off your clothes.
2. Use an antiseptic spray in your
throat and nose when you get home
from your sick visits.
3. Stay in the open air as mucYi as
possible and urge influenza patients to
keep all windows open at all times.
4. These patients do not need a great
amount of medication. The important
things are: rest in clean bed, nour-
ishing food, an abundance of fresh air,
and an occasional purgative.
Thank you again, Paul D. Mossmal.

FRENCH AND AMERICANS
SMASHING GERMAN POSITIONS
(By Tho Associated Press)

French and American troops are
smashing into the German positions in
Champagne and have forced the enemy
to withdraw from valuable ground in
the hill country near the Suippe river.
East and west of the ArYanrle and
northwest of Rheims there has been
heavy fighting to the advantage of the
allies. On the Northern sectors hostil-
tiles apparently have quieted down for
the moment.
By advancing northward over the
heights Of Blanc Mont and the Medean
farm, the French and Americans placed
the Germans in the eastern part OF
the hill country about Moronvilliers
in a dangerous position. To prevent
being outflanked, the enemy retired
hurriedly toward the river Arnes.
Just west Of the Suippe, the French
are moving toward the important
height of Moronvillieres.
Between the Suippe and Rheime to
the west, the Germans are still in a
deep salient and the indications are
that they will retire from it altogether
now that they have given way on the
eastern flank. The German position is
being further endangered by the
French attack northwest of Rheims
General Berthelot is attacking the
al with great vigor. Already he has
crossed the canal at several points and
has reached the outskirts of Bermeri-
court, north of Rheims ana west OF
the canal. Beyond the canal is fairly
open country over which the French
could move to in the rear of the enemy
salient east of Rheims. In the last
five days General Berthelot has taken
$500 prisoners and thirty-one guns
West Of the Argonne the Germans
are fighting with desperation to stay
the advance of General Gouraud toward
their important communication lines.
Heavy counter attacks We're flung
against the French line south Of Mon

East OF the forest after having taken
important positions, the Americans are
pressing northward into the kriemhild

There is no occasion for panic In

we need doctors, but this is not so
much because of the seriousness OF the
situation as that we are short OF Dotn

Most or the serious illness is OF sucn
nature that the patient merely needs
proper care and attention, wnicn any
intelligent person can give. The dan
