OUTBREAK OF GRIP GROWS MORE SERIOUS Epidemic Conditions Again Threat
 en Danger To Thousands

Johns Medicine on hand during this time of danger because it is the log ical, safe remedy for colds It's sooth- ing clements heal the irritated lining of the breathing passages; it's gentle laxative effect drives out impurities and it's strengthening elements are of great value. Guaranteed abso- lutely free from alcohol or any dan gerous narcotic drugs in any form, Father Johns Medicine may be taken with safety by every member of the family.
 The danger from cough or cold 'cures'' containing morphine or opium in any of it's disguised forms is especially great at this time be- cause these narcotics weaken the pa tient depress the heart action and open the way for more serious ill., ness.
 Doctors say that the best methods of fighting off the epidemic are to keep away from crowds, get plenty of fresh air and exercise, do not be- come overtired and secure proper nourishment, together with a pure food tonic such as Father Johns Medicine to rebuild fighting strength.
 To guard against the danger which is everywhere present may mean the saving of thousands of lives. The common sense thing to do is to keep bottle of Father Johns Medicine in the house all the time.-Adv.

 BY US. FARMERS
So Herbert Hoover Tells People of England in
 London Address.

l London. Dec. 2S Correspond 1 ence of The Associated Press)-Her- | bert c. Hoover, American Food Ad
 ninlstrator, on his visit to England,
 assured the people of this country ] that the high cost of food was not due to any profiteering by farmers in i the United States. The statement he | issued to the British press shows that | the guaranteed price of grain to the American farmer not only is smaller l than the guarantee to the British farmer but the Americans yield is 50 | per cent. less an acre. If the British shipping rate, MT. Hoover said had l increased only pro rata to the Amer ! ican farmers increase, the cost of
 wheat in England would be about $23 a quarter of 4s0 pounds, instead 1 of the present $26.75.
 "I keenly realize" MT. Hoover
 said, "how hard the present price
 more especially upon the Allied peo- pies, whose economic wage plane Is much below that in the United States So far as the United States is con-
 cerned, 1t Is not matter of profiteer- ing, but Is one of deep complexity of economic forces and provision for world necessities" He cited a table indicating the comparative levels be- fore and after the establishment Of
 war controls by the United States government of prices of wheat, hogs, maize, oats, sugar, steel and copper, adding that prices have been in varia bly, the same to the Allies as to
 our own consumers and our own gov crnment"
 '-The high price levels, however,
 created before we entered the war" the statement continued, "caused our
 labor and other food production
 costs to increase by leaps and
 bounds and to prevent any return during the war to 1914 levels" After discussing factors other than
 American conditions which have in | creased the cost of food to the Allies, particularly overseas transport, he | noted that feed prices paid to the ! English farmer were about 70 per cent. higher than the prices realized | by the American farmer for oats and | barley.
 T am in hopes" he said, that the | freeing Of the seas from war losses
 may render it possible to reduce sea | charges to at least the same ratio of | increase as the American farmer re- 1 ceives."
 Profteering and speculation in | Eork have been removed in the states,
 Mir. Hoover told the British people, by government control of the packing l houses.
 Tn broad view I am certain that kour agricultural margins are so low 1 that a 10 per cent. reduction in prices | to our farmers would stifle our pro- 1 duction to the extinction of our con-
 sequential export surpluses. This
 margin of 10 per cent. is the price
 that our own consumers and your
 consumers pay for stimulation of l production. Our American consum-
 CTS rightfully but cheerfully feel that
 we are taking from them this extra l 1G per cent. in prices in order that
 we may take our part in carrying this
 world burden. AS I view the worlds
 food assets this moment, I am con- vinced that the extra marginal sur
 plus from the United States is of
 priceless value to the immensity of
 human life at stake between now and next harvest"

Gain Strength to Resist the Germ by Taking
 Father Johns Medicine

Health authorities say that the grip epidemic Is now raging violently in many sections of the country and the need for caution is greater than ever The deaths from influenza have already been greater than the American losses in the war with Ger many The disease appears to have come back in full vigor and while doctors urge calmness, they admit that the danger is everywhere pres ent and every safeguard should be taken.
 Your greatest danger from the germ is when you are tired or run down. In this condition your system is unable to fight off the disease germ and you need a strengthening food tonic such as Father Johns Medicine to rebuild your resisting power. The pure food elements of Father Johns Medicine make new strength and fighting power.
 If you catch cold your danger Is even greater because colds quickly develop into grip or pneumonia. Every home should ,,eap Father

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July Is
The Congressional committee which Is
investigating alleged. cruelties to
United States soldiers can find q Bit-
ness who knows" things II it will
call Fred W. Ashton. of Grand Island.
Ashton, who Is an attorney OF this
city, has just been discharged from
the service and arrived in Grand Is
land last week. He was a major in
the Judge advocates department in
Washington, and for months he de-
voted his entire time to investigating
cases against soldiers who had been
sent to prison for long terms on the
most trivial charges. Mr.. Ashton sue
ceeded in getting 10000 years cut on
the prison life Of the soldiers whose
cases he Investigated.
Was Conservative.
When Fred Ashton went to Wash
ington to undertake the work OF in
vestigation he was q conservative.
Today he is decidedly radical, made
so by his review Of 50 many cases of
miscarriage Of justice wherein mill
tary courts had doomed private SOL
diers to long years In prison for slight
attractions of army rules.
Jeff Henderson was charged with
desertion. Although found to be ig
norant his employers in civil life
spoke we'll Of him. Evidence dis
closed he had never been warned of
the seriousness Of staying out without
leave. His case was poorly tried. !
Hearsay evidence and much incompe-
tent evidence was admitted. Inexcus-
able errors on the part Of counsel for
the prosecution in attempting to prove
by Captain Halves the contents OF the
company records without introducing
the record itself or a certified copy
thereof, and in the introduction Of tes-
timony Of the same witness as to
statements made by Henderson
amounting to a confession without
showing that Henderson had been
warned of the seriousness OF such
admissions or of his own rights in the |
matter marked the trial
Counsel Negligent.
Henderson's counsel was negligent
In permitting this testimony to go in
without objection and in permitting |
unjust REORGANIZATION. The re-
viewing board confessed the testi- |
mony should not have been admitted. |
but dismissed the matter with a
statement that Serious as the fail
ures appear to be, they have been
waived by the accused by his failure
to make objections thereto"
Henderson was sentenced to twenty /
years imprisonment. The clemency
