Notwithstanding the increased cost of
food and all necessities, the State
penitentiary is to-day, for the first
time in the history of Missouri, en-
tirely self sustaining.
What has been said of the splendid
management OF the p%enitentiary may
be applied, with equal truth, to each
of the eleemosynary institutions of
the State. The State Board OF Char
tiles and Corrections non.partisan
~body-after a careful inspection of all
the institutions, now say: Soon
ditions in the State institutions
are uniformly better, as to care Of
patients and inmates, personnel of
officers and employees, harmonious
relations between boards OF managers
OF institutions and the public than at
any time during our connection with
such institutions"
The record of the administration
for the first year has been universally
pronounced the best in the history of
Missouri, and the remarkable achieve
ments have been made possible be-
cause Governor Gardner has had the
loyal support and cooperation of the
! other democratic State officials. At
torney General McAlister, Treasurer
M~iddelkamp, Secretary of State Sui
Ivan and Superintendent Lamkin
have rendered splendid service to the
State in their several departments.
No State in the Union is better gov.
erned or more economically managed
than Is the State of Missouri.

james johnson, of Charleston, Mo-,
at which place she had made made her
home for several months. Every
thing was done that loving hearts and
willing hands could do to still the icy
hand of death, but God said "come."
Edna leaves TO mourn her departure

brothers and a husband, Wyatt
Hammer, to whom she was married
February, 1917, and who wasi unable
to be at her bedside during her last
illness, having joined the colors some
months ago. The remains were
brought TO Des Arc and taken to the
home Of her sister, Mrs. P. A Reed,
and from there to College Hill, where
the funeral services were conducted
by Miss Ora Lovelace, after which she
was laid to rest in the cemetery near

Yet, could not stay deaths awful

We loved you but the angels loved
you more,
And they have called you to yonder
shining shore
The golden gate swung open,
A gentle voice said ''come,"
And with farewells yet unspoken
Our Edna entered home.
We, too, shall g on stand by deaths
waters so cold
And wait for the sound of the boat

Wen watch for a glimpse of your
reckoning hand,
And Wen meet to part no more!

A Sensational Charge.

-------
from the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.)
The statement sent out by the Board
of Temperance, Prohibition and Pub
lie Morals of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, for publication by the papers
of the country, seems to have a multi
plicity Of purposes rather than a
s%fngleness of aim. Before inquiring
into the grounds for its sensational
charges, we may ask II the only aim
of the board was to promote abb
s%tinence among the American soldiers
abroad, why the matter was not TAX
en- up with the president or the secre-
tary of war instead of being heralded
broadcast, to harrow the feelings OF
the relatives of soldiers and to bring
about a depression of American feel
ing worth much to Germany. There
is nothing the American people can
do to ameliorate the condition of the
soldiers abroad. That rests solely
with the general in command, under
direction of the president, through
the War Department. The publica-
ton of the statement, even if true in
every respect, cannot be justified, un.
less the matter was first urged upon
the president and ignored by him,
We fear that this particular board of
this great church is so absorbed in its
prohibition propaganda that it has in
CONSIDERABLY done immeasurable
harm.
The charges, resting on the state.
ment of q soldier and a woman, are
doubtless exaggerated, but even II
they are not, the statement takes no
cognizance of what Gen. Pershing
has done aud Is doing to ameliorate
conditions. Suppose hundreds, cele-
brating the safe end Of q long voyage
across a submarine infested ocean,
did imbibe too freely Of deceptive
wines, that is no indication that they
are habftual drunkards. Nothing but
the lightest wines and mildest beers
are allowed the soldiers now, and the
quantity Is being strictly limited. Nc
soldier is permitted to visit Paris. Ar.
range menrs are being made for com.
plete American control of the only
city in which American soldiers viii
be- privileged to spend their furloughs
Gen Pershing has shown q determine.
ton to safeguard the morals and the
morals and the health OF his men.
The hanging Of a degenerate soldier
for committing an nnspeakable crime
is evidence of strict discipline.
Every writer who has visited the
boysin France, and there have been
many Of highest repute, has praised
their morals. We expect official rec.
ords to disprove the implications Of
these sensational charges, IS they
have similar charges made about ouy
soldiers In environments. Among the
Investigations, one should be made
by the Methodist Episcopal Church Of
it, Board Of Temperance.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
- Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are gong hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight OH. 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting, ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train.
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to.
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
SO easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section Of our country it
fought on it. history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn Something-Corn 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen, It's a cereal. It's. a vegetable. It's a bread.
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn. Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
: There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
