! ' || CORN WILL WIN DEKOCRWCY'S WAR I America’s Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to Market. . MAINSTAY IN NATION’S CRISIS ' —■— ! Surplus Wheat of the United State* Haa Been Sent to Famine Threatened Europe. America's great corn crop, exceeding 000,000,000 bushels, will *uve lire world's food situation, otttelnls of the United States food administration believe. Corn is the nation's best food cereal, ' housewives are beginning to realize. Jt contains all ttie elements needed to keep the body in a state of health and alien used according to ihe scores of, i tried recipes, especially " hen com- j ' blued with au added portion of oil or | fnt, will sustain life indefinitely. In-!: dian warriors in colonial days lived on j parched corn aimie for many days at a time, and at Valley Forge parched j ! corn was at times the sole ration of , the Continental soldiers. ! Owing to transportation difficulties , i ! caused by the war the corn crop moved ; more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal i is reaching the millers and consumers. ! In the meantime the nation’s surplus ( wheat has been Bent to Europe. I Today there are approximately 30 I bushels of corn for every American. I This quantity Is greater by live bush- ' els than in former years. Corn has become the nation's mainstay In the crisis of war. Just ns tills cereal saved the first ! American colonists from famine on many occasions, Just us it served as a ! staple food during the War of tlie Rev- I ! olutinn and during the Civil War, King f Corn has ngain com? to the front in * tlie nation's battle with autocracy. Corn meal Is finding greatly Increns- { eii t:-- In tlie making of ordinary whit* , ' bread. Hundreds of housewives and j many of the larger bakers are mixing , i HO per cent, corn meal with wheat | I tlour to make leavened bread. This : 1 i kind of a mixture is worked and baked t i in tlie same recipes and with the same \ methods that apply to straight wheat j i bread. ] f Corn bread—using corn meal entircj iy—is gaining a greater popularity ; : tlmn ever before. Housewives are i I coining to realize that every pound of l • w 11eat saved in America means a pound I | of wheat released for shipment to the j' Ant ions with which America Is associ- '! i ated la tlie war. Tiu re are a score of corn products ! that today possess unusual Importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweetj ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes ! ! and for use in the kitchen instead of I i granulated sugar is one of the leading i products made from corn. Corn oily excellent for frying nnd for' I every other purpose filled by salad oils,! i is appearing on the market In large | quantities. It comes from the germ of. the corn. MADE-IN MNY LIES CIRCULATED IN CANADA Canada Is also having trouble with ' Mode-in-Germany lies calculated to! Linder Canadian food conservation ac- i cording to an official statement re- I reived from the Canadian food controller by tlie United States food administration. 1 The stories bothering Canada are , of the same general character ns those j the United Slates food admlnistra- j tor recently denounced in this conn- ' try, such as the ridiculous salt and blueing famine fakes and the report ! that the government would seize 1 housewives’ stocks of borne canned goods. The Canadian food controller estimates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, ench on# has the power of destruction that lies In a battalion of soldiers. "Stories without even a vestige of foundation have been scattered broadcast,” said the Canadian statement, i “Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously In different parts of the country- and in ench Instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation. ! "They are insidious, subtle, persistent Bit by lilt they dissipate public , trust, the great essential In the work | of food control. j ' “It lies with every Individual to forbear from criticism; to refrain from I passing on tlie vagrant nnd harmful ' story, nnd thus tlie more effectively to co-operate In work which Is going j to mean more than the majority of people yet realize.” — THE UNITED STATES FOOO ADMINISTRATION SAYSi There Is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each . element In proportion to its means. It !• a matter of equality of burden; a matter of minute saving and substitution at every point in the 20 000,000 kitchens, on the 20,000.000 dinner tables, and in the 2.000,000 manufacturing, wholesale *nd retail establishments of the country. i

Such conditions as Mrs. Lewis sufiered from may be caused by a fall or a general weakened run-down condition of the system, and the most successful n tm-dy to restore strength to muscles and tissue and bring about a normal healthy condition—has proved to be this famous root and herb medicine, Lydia E.

If they become inactive and fail t> eliminate waste matter, they are apt to throw the whole mechanism of tl„ body out of order, thus toxic poisons can accumulate in the system and be as deadly as snake venom. Besides causing the minor ailments of rhiumatism, sciatica, lumbago and backache, neglect of the kidneys Is apt to develop into more serious diseases, such as diabeies or stone In the bladder. Rid the body of toxic poisons—clean the bladder and kidneys and cure the twinges of rheumatism with Anuris ar.d you win the battle of life. Anuric was first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and has benefited thousands of Buffer* rs as well as appeased and ellmina’ed the ravages of the more serious kidney diseases.

Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. 1 Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel —- are a mild but sure ! axative, and their effect on the liver is 1 almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat j liver and bov/el complaints with calomel. ' His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no brd after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the iiver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc v/ith the gums. So do strong liquids. Itbbentnot to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' j Olive Tablets take it 3 place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipai ion. ? nd a disordered liver.
