mine barrage. He said:
THE President laid down his policy
in Pc son to officers of the Atlantic
fleet, speaking aboard the flagship
Pennsylvania in August, 1917. He
told them he was not satisfied with
the progress against the submarines
being made by the allies, and Urged
them TO abandon prudence and seek

Pumpkin Valuable Food

The pumpkin is not Only a delecta-
BILE food in pies. but is ii valuable sub
stltute for potatoes in bread, while the
edible seeds contain a considerable
amount Of oil. Mixed with pumpkin
poridge, 10 per cent of the flour is
saved. Freed from the seed.coat, the
seeds can be substituted for almonds;
or they will yield 80 per cent of oil,
witch averages 80 per cent of nitrog-
enous material and nearly 90 per
cent of crude fat. The oil cake may
be used as animal food or nearly %
per cent Of heterogeneous material may
be used rs animal food or purified for
human food. 1t is figured that an acre
will produce about II tons of pump
kins, which will furnish about eight
tons of bread material and 50 pounds
of oil, besides 2% tons of green fod-
der, 220 pounds Of ground seed-coats,
and 140 pounds Of oil cake.

When Doesn't -Four
DOCTORS LEAD VIOLATION
Wiley Urges Law to Limit Whisky
Prescriptions.

Washington, May 11--Declaring
that profiteering had taken the new
form in the medical profession Of
whiskey prescription writing, DR..
Harvey w. Wiley in his address to-
day as retiring president of the
United States Pharmacopoeial conven-
ton advocated legislation to prohibit
physicians from writing more pres,
criptions for whiskey and brandy than
they wrote in 1914.
1.-THE physician is the leading Of
fender in the illegal sale of liquor
DR.. Wiley said THE pharmacist is
only doing his duty when he fills pres
criptions for whiskey and brandy. If
the writing of such prescriptions is
abused the medical profession must
accept the greatest part Of the critl-
cism and blame"
DR.. Wiley opposed the placing of
whiskey and brandy back in the phar-
macopia from which they were remoy,
ed ten years ago.

EXTRAVAGANT BUYING

Appeal Made to Americans to Stop
Present Rampage Of Extrava-
Qance

New York, May Am appeal t.
the American people to desist from

read
The dance of industrial death
in which the people OF America
are now participating should
cease before they have to pay
the piper.
The extravaganza of our peo-
pie since armistice day is one of
those psychological phenomena
to which man is subject Dur
ing the war period we sacrificed
gladly but with the cessation
of hostilities the restrained feel
ing broke loose and we went on
rampage Of extravaganza such
as never before has been expert
enced in this land.
This nation is sound funda-
mentally, and this soundness
will continue if people will give
up their folly, will become more
diligent viii work as human
beings should work during
time Of stress and strain, and
thus help to bring about q grad
ual deflat!on in currency so that
the prices may steadily recede
and that we may eventually be
brought to condition of indus
trial and beneficial health.
Thrift is, in our opinion, the
expression OF real patriotism in
these days just as it was in
the period Of war The people
who spend recklessly are losing
sight OF the nations traditions;
indeed they endanger that over
throw of our institutions which
some low spirits are secretly plot
ting to destroy.
We should practice and preach
constantly declaring that for
ourselves we shall do our best
to stop this insanity and bring
to a close the melodrama of ex-
trayagance that is casting fear
into the hearts of the people
and produc ng results that are
immoral and destructive

It's resentment and complaints

Denim and calico, together
with the lunchbox, make the
most vivid way in which these
people who largely make up the
most substantial elements in our
national life can express their
feelings toward the grinding
