''Never Had Any
Medicine I akeHold

I'll lived forty-eight years without
any sickness and three years ago I
had a breakdown" says William a.
.Hambright, OIL 837 First street, and
employed at the Woolworth Building,
Lancaster, Pa.
II doctored in vain, and bought
medicine + thought would do me good,
but nothing has ever done me any
good until / took Tonall three weeks
ago. I never had anything to take
hold of me like that has done. My
wife il using it also and she has been
helped wonderfully. | can do my
work today with more ease than ever
before. / am using my second bottle
and if / continue to gain in health
will be well satisfied. The cost the
Tonall way is very little as against
what have paid out uselessly."

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. rs, 1919
SOME PEOPLE STILL WASTING
FOOD.

To preach food conservation In
season and out of season is every
body's duty now, and we must see
that all classes are reached. Here Is
one illustration, one OF hundreds
that might be given: 81 nave just
been around i'm the back yard Of q
tenant whose house I am having
painted" a friend told us today, land
there thrown away in the slop bar
rel were -four big pieces OF 1resh
-four bread-more bread than my
family Of four consumed for DreaK-
fast, There was utterly no excuse
for throwing this bread away excepl
that 1t had gotten cold, when the facl
A. that IL sliced and made into toas'
it would have made much more
wholesome and healthful bread thar
it originally was WREN eaten not.
And another friend told us similar
incident this week. He said thai
while his family Of five, using wheat
literally in the days before the pres
ent war, found twenty-five bushels
lasting them a year, a tenant family
OF five in the same period made way
with one hundred bushels almost Dc
fore the year was out.
Every four years our people pro-
duce as much as they have saved ir
$50 years." says Prof. E. c. Branson
and we must all be candid enough tt
confess that just such lack OF thrift
as the foregoing incidents illustrate
accounts for too much Of our poverty
1t is to be hoped that the war viii
get US to the point where we will
recognize the wisdom of teaching
thrift i'm the schools not only through
war savings societies but by more
direct methods. Through simple but
cwell-planned courses in domestic
science, girls should be taught to
cook economically and how to use
leftover dishes; and our arithmetic
problgms might be SO formed as to
teach our boys both thrift and good
farming.-The Progressive Farmer.

greeting, Pershinga said:
If this is to be continued 5eileve
Before many days I shall wish, perhaps,
that the war continued.
''To say am happy is wasting words
am overwhelmed and overcome with
femotion when l think of what it really
means to all of us. As regards your
extremely complimentary words which
the part it was my fortune to pay, /
can only say that what we accomplished
and the victory we won was possible
only through the united efforts of the
nation. The men at the front felt the,
spirit of the nation behind them and
their morale was never shaken. All
credit is due to those brave fellows wlf6'
faced a welltrained, seasoned army
with unbounded enthusiasm. 1 trust
those we left behind may receive the
respectful attention of a grateful ma
tion and their graves may be fittingly
decorated and conseerated SO they may
ever be future lesson to all Amer

The task entrustedsto you required
| all the imagination, all the energy and
all the genius of a great commander
From the first You had the complete
confidence of the president and seej T.
tary of war. This confidence remained
mistaken to the end. From the begin.
ming you had all the support the people
Of the United States could give. You
and your great army embodied for them
their country and their eountry's cause.
They worked with devotion and self
sacrifice to sustain and supply you with
troops and equipment. Our hearts were
overseas with you and your praise for
their welfare were constant. Douotless
the confidence and affection of your
fellow citizens were an inspiration to
you in the hours of preparation and in
the hours of battle, as the superb ex-
ploits of the army under your command
er were in turn an inspiration to your
national effort. "a
" You have just come from the sea
and from the care of the men Of the

them too. 1t is delightful to see you
home again, well and fit for the fat1rues
you must endure before we arc done
with OUR welcome. 1 speak now only
of our personal joy that you are at
home again and that we have the op-
pertunity to make YOU feel the warmth
Of our affectionate Welcome -
Pershing obviously was under the
strain of a great emotion when Baker
ceased speaking.
Senator Wadsworth and Congressman
Mondell then spoke briefly.
William G. MeAdoo said:

PRESIDENT STARTS
Continued from page one)

Sioux City, Iowa, but the president wifi
not speak unless the demand is very in
sistent. His voice needs to be rested
Tas much as possible.
There was good sized crowd al the
depot to see the president off. He went
to lEnch shortly after leaving Omaha.
The time his train would pass seemed
generally known and at many way sta-
tions there were scores assembled, men
holding up children in their arms, hop
ing for a glimpse of Wilson. When
ever the train stopped people came run
ming beside it, shouting: Where's
Wilson7"
The president came out on tine rear
platform at Omaha and shook hands
with many CT those who had come to see
him off. They pressed forward eagerly
aad Wilson had a busy time gripping
all the hands extended to him. He
gave each a hard squeeze and double
shake.
