MUST FEED THE HUNS
Question of Supplying Food Is Big
One for U. S.

Coblenz, March 26.-The question of
supplying food to Germans within oc-
cupied areas has been investigated by
various military commands of the al
lied armies in Germany and it is eX-
pected that within a few days supplies
will be received for distribution. SO
far as the American area is concerned.
the problem is seeing that $4,000
Germans within the occupied zone re-
ceive sufficient food to maintain bod
lily health and vigor. A census of food
supplies revealed that rations and sup
plies for only 700 persons up to Sep
TENDER 1 existed thruout the area.
Authorities believe. however, that
only about rs per cent actual supplies
was reported, as the concealing of
food stocks has been going on quite
extensively. The immediate problem
before America is to furnish supplies
for 10000 persons at rates so low
that even the poorest persons can
make purchases. 1t is proposed to
supply the civil government with
meats, fats and flour at the price
charged in America plus the cost of
transportation and then fix prices for
retail sales.

Despised Foods
Again Favored
Correcting Stomach Faults With
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Has
Revived the Doughnut, Pie
and Other Good Home
Made American Dishes,

The shortage of help has taken
thousands of women back to their
own kitchens to do their own cook
ing. And how natural they should
revive the cookie. doughnut, pie and
other distinctly American dishes. But
the recipes have been revised; flour
is coarser and different; less wheat
and more of other kinds. and a lot
of indigestion was complained of.
1t is gratifying to know you can
safely eat any kind of flour food
without consequent distress. Simply
take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after
meals Not only does it aid diges-
ton, but it arouses the stomach to
secrete the juices necessary to relieve
sourness, heartburn, gas, the sense
of STIFFNESS and the drowsiness that
so often follow the good things you
eat.
Try these tablets and you will then
realize what influence they have, not
only to assist digestion. but as con-
tributing in a remarkable degree to
the sense of comfort and well-being.
