THE PRESIDENTS WAR
SAVINGS PROCLAMATION

June % Designated as National War
Savings Day-All Citizens Asked
to Pledge to Save and Buy War
Savings Stamps on or Before
June 2Sth.
This war is one of Nations, not of
armies, and all of our one hundred
million people must be economically
and lndustrially adjusted to war con-
dltlons if this Nation is to play It's
full part in the conflict. The PROB
lem before US is not primarily a fl
nanclal problem, but rather prob
lem OF increased production of war
essentials and the savings of the ma
terlals and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment Of our
Army and Navy. Thoughtless ezpen-
dlture of money for non-essentials
uses up the labor of men, the prod
ucts Of the farm, mines and factories, ;,
and overburdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the partici-
patton of every member Of the Ma
ton, young and old, in National con-
certed Thrift movement. l therefore
urge that our people everywhere
pledge themselves as suggested by
the Secretary Of the Treasury to the
practice Of Thrift, to serve the Gov
ernment to their utmost in increasing
production IL all fields necessary to
the winning Of the war, to conserve
food and fuel, and useful materials of
every kind, to devote their labor only
to the most necessary tasks, and to
buy o:1ly those things which are es-
sential to individual health and eff
clencJ, ara that the people as evi-
dence Of tneir loyalty invest all that
! War-Savings Stamps. The securities
are SO many Of them within the reach
tunity in this matter is wide open to
all Of U.S. To practice Thrift in
peace times is a virtue, and brings
great benefits to the individual at all
times. With the desperate need Of
the civilized world today for materials
and labor with which to end the war
patriotic duty and necessity.
! Appeal to all who own either Lib
erty bonds or War-Savings stamps to
continue to practice economy and
thrift, and appeal to all who do not
own Government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
Government securities transfers the
purchasing power Of his money. to the
United States Government until af
ter this war, and to that same degree
does not buy in competition with the
Government.
81 earnestly appeal to every man
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before the twenty eighth Of
June to save constantly and to buy as
regularly as possible the securities o.
: the Government and to DO this as fa1
. as possible through membership i,
War-Savings societies. The twenty
eighth Of June ends this special pc
riod Of enlistment in the great yolun
teer army Of production and saving
here at home. May there be nom
unenlisted en- that day.

Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of indigestion.
It is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid The sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one Of Chamberlain's Tab

Use Airslacked Lime

Use air-slacked lime as disin-
fectant around the stables, sheds
and yards. This will kill the con-
tagion of hog cholera and the
germs of other infectious diseases
if used literally, says the Univer-
sity of Florida extension division
Spread freely about the sleeping
quarters and feeding places of
hogs, air-slaked lime will tend to
destroy germs of pneumonia and
help to keep the pigs free from
intestinal worms by destroying
the worm eggs in the droppings.
Lime will also prevent or reduce
the breeding of flies in manure
and gives cleaner and better
smelling premises.

Mr.. McQuarrie warns against
buying just any kind of potatoes
for seed. Some farmers obtain
their seed from the groceryman s
stock of eating potatoes. AS a
rule, these are not good potatoes
and should be avoided, first, be-
cause they are of unknown strain
and have not been cared for as
seed potatoes should be, and, al
so, because they may not be ac-
climated to the region in which
they are to be planted Some of
the best seed potatoes for Florida
are the red bliss or triumph, rose
number four, cobbler and Look
out Mountain. The last two named
have done particularly well in
Florida.
