having sallow complexion - dark rings

IMMUNITY AGAINST DISEASE.

BY the use of vaccine we can pro-
duce immunity against many dis
eases.
The most familiar Of the vaccines
is the one which is used to protect
us against smallpox. This disease
was once the most terrible of all the
maladies which affected mankind.
More that a century ago an Eng
lish physician, Edward Jenner, in
PRODUCED vaccination against small
pox. 1t has practically wiped out
the disease, for it now exists only
where vaccination has been neg
lected.
One of the most recent and dra-
matte demonstrations of the value
of vaccination was at Havana, Cuba.
During the eight years before the
American army occupied the city
there were 1882 deaths from small
pox. Then the army surgeons en-
forced vaccination among the inhab-
itants, and during the next eight
years there were but seven death
from the disease.
The protective effect of vaccina-
ton, however, wears off after time
and every child should be vaccinated
when one year old and again at the
age of seven.
Another wonderful and successful
vaccine discovered in recent years is
that used to protect people against
typhoid fever The use of the vac.
cine has practically eliminated ty,
phoid fever from the United States
army, and it has proved of immeas-
urable value in protecting the
troops of European armies during
the great war.
For use in the growing campaign
against diphtheria there is an ex
ceedingly effective serum, diphthe
ria antitoxin. This will not only
serve to protect people who have
been exposed to the danger of catch
ing diphtheria, but it also is prac
tically certain cure for this diseas'
after it has already set in, providing
it is used promptly.

wheat SHOWED
SPIRIT. OF U. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will BE Able to Re.
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership Of Food Administration
Is the history Of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was In this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight Of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping Of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We In America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the peo-
Piles of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
100000 bushels available for ex.
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent Ia, 100000 bushels Of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out Of their normal consumption
121 10000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution In our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send tC
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels Of white f1our-wheat figured
as -four, Had we exported only oul
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 4,500,0 900 barrels
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an add
tional 100000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could brine
OuI lOlOI SApOElS dDoNc 1OU,UOO,OOt
bushels by July /. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,OOO,O Ot
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 100000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
gear and the advent Of the new crop.
By October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July
1. Absolutely the only limitation upor
our wheat exports since the latest har
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July Of next year
We will have sent more than 237 500,
900 bushels to Europe.
Thus are We making good Americas
pledge that the bread ratiOns of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

to go over the ideas and views ex-

idea of sitting out Of them basis for

Two features stood out pre-emt

ishing the job we have on our hands.
The heavy expenses incident to de-
mobilization, return Of the boys and
whatever reconstruction or world
policing duties may fail to rs from
the peace table must be met. The
proceeds from the Fourth Loan are
unavailable for these purposes as they
were spent almost as soon as they
were raised.
The other feature upon which par
ticular stress is to be laid, In the
opinion OF the men outlining the plans,
Is the investment feature. In pre-
vious loan campaigns the prospective
buyer has been told repeatedly that
bonds were good investment, the best
investment, in fact, but in the Fifth
