we fail to act on the recommendations of the federal food administrator, police rules and regulations will force us to save food.

Save Food or Go Hungry . -

, ... . . ... i Dire want does not stare us in the face today. There still is plenty to go around. You may still go to the grocery store to. buy all the provisions you want. "The dealers does not say, "I'm sorry ' but the supply of potatoes, flour and meat i?. exhausted and we are unable to replenish our sto.ck." ' . But if .-the consumption of meat and food continues unabated, if persistent inroads are made on the rapidly diminishing supply, if the people fail to observe the regulations of the federal food administrator, the ' inevitable resufi will be a shortage of bread, meat and fats. Too many persons fail, to see that a crisis is approaching. They believe that the foodstuffs

available ior the market, are inexhaustible because the food venders are still able to sell them the edibles which they demand. They do not know; or if they know it they fail to realize how important it is, that the amount of

all food on hand today is no greater- than last

year's crop less the amount that has been consumed since the harvest was garnered. The surplus usually carried over from season to season in the warehouses had been exhausted long before the present crop was ready for consumption. In other words, there was no surplus of other years to fall back on for relief, and the world is now living from hand to mouth. The demand on la3t year's crop was much larger than it normally is, because the United States, besides feeding its own population, had to supply themen in the military cantonments and had to ship every pound of food it could spare to

the Allies. - Last year's crop is steadily diminishing as the weeks go by. We do riot realize this because we cannot see the pile go down. It is' impossible to store all the food supplies of the nation in one gigantic warehouse where we can watch it decrease as our population of ten million people day by day remqyjsjheamount required in the homes. If we could see this process, we would readily appreciate the seriousness of the situation. Here is an illustration that may make the

problem clearer. Imagine that last October you bought only enough meat, potatoes, vegetables, flour and fruit to keep your family in provisions for about twelve months. Suppose that four months later you took an inventory and found that instead of having used only one-third you had used fully onehalf of these provisions, and that when you tried to replenish your stock the grocer told you that you could not buy another, pound of food in the United States. Obviously only one recourse would be left, and that would be to make the supplies on hand do for the other eight months. And now suppose, after you had decided on this course, that your wife, instead of acting on your recommendations, kept on drawing from your scant stores at

an extravagant rate. What would you do ? Obviously, put the little you had left under lock and key, and daily give her only enough coffee, meat, flour and vegetables to provide for the table. The food situation in the United States is similar to the picture we have drawn. There is a fixed and' absolute amount of food on hand. It cannot be increased until the next crop is harvested. The only manner in which we can conserve this supply is by adopting prudential methods in time. If all the people follow the recommenda

tions of the government by observing wheatless, meatless and porkless days, we may be able to avoid scarcity and want. If we do not co-operate, we will stand in long lines with meat and bread tickets waiting to receive the portion which the government decrees we may have to avert starvation.

The whole problem of food conservation has been put up squarely to the American people. If

Attend the War Conference Every district of Wayne county ought to have representatives at the War Conference to be held at the Coliseum, Monday. Important matters that directly affect the weal and woe of every citizen will be discussed by speakers or taken up in conferences. Attendance is not obligatory but nevertheless will be interpreted as a manifestation of patriotism. The details of the program are sufficiently understood by every one. The efforts of the County Council of Defense and the speakers will be frustrated if the community does not turn out to a large attendance.

Conquest and Kultur "Our aim must be the development of German power with all that it involves. The grouping of all its members into one political whole has always been the object of the efforts of a virile nation. "It must be well done; we must confine our efforts within just limits; we must go forward

gradually till the moment arrives when we can unmask our batteries without danger ; then Eur

ope will find herself faced by a situation whose smallest deiails have been prepared and against which she will be powerless." A Universal German Empire about 1872. Vergnet.

Signing Petitions The average citizens takes littlfc interest in a petition because usually the contents of the instrument do not affect him. Nine times out of ten he signs his name without reading the text, and in many instances he affixes his signature to get rid of the person who presented it. Petitions are looked upon as nuisances. Often unscrupulous persons circulate them, and the.

signers often learn to their sorrow that they have been tricked into the support of a cause that deserves condemnation.

Because petitions are in such bad repute, the

persons to whom they are addressed pay little at

tention to them. Office holders long ago lost faith

in the judgment of the thousands of signers who

petitioned for the appointment of a man to a

post. They know that two-thirds of the signers

do not know the man and care less whether he

gets the job.

Alfred Underhill is circulating a petition in

Richmond. He has been in seventy-one litigations of one kind or another in the courts in Wayne county. We will say nothing about the

man. The community Knows mm. Convicted in the city police court and by a jury in the Wayne circuit court, this man has the audacity to circulate a petition asking Governor Goodrich to remit a fine assessed against him by Judge Fox after a jury trial for a violation of the statutes. Scores of men, including some leaders and county officials, have affixed their names to the Underhill petition asking for the remission of his fine.

The question arises, Why did they sign it ? The answer is, To get rid of the petitioner, because they believed it the easiest way to get him off the premises.. The merits of the case were not considered. Surely no one will say that both the city court and the county court erred when they found this man guilty of violating the law. We mention the Underhill case as typical of the petition nuisance.

A club of eccentric young men had for one of their rules that on Tuesday evenings any man who asked a question in the clubroom which he was unable to answer himself should pay a fine of ten shilling. One even

ing Tompkinson asked the following: "Why doesn't a ground squirrel leave any dirt round the top ofhis hole when be digs It?" After some deliberation he was called upon to answer his own question. "That's easy," said he. 'The squirrel starts at the bottom and digs up." "All very nice," suggested a mem

ber, "but how does it get to the bottom?"

"Well," answered Tompkinson, that's your question."

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood Tt is ttif fnnrtlfin of thr

"Don't worry, lass; you've done what i kidneys to filter this acid from the

blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of. the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through

the system, eventuall settling in the

joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any "pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made frora the acid of grape3 and lemon juice, combined with lithia

and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and Is 'oenflcial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

N speaking of highway Improvement as a military

measure, Gen. George W. Goethals said in the Manu

facturers' Record: "I am heartily in accord with a policy which will permit highway commissioners of the various states so to plan their work that they will be able to undertake the construction of new highways and of maintaining the ex istisg ones so as to relieve railroad congestion. "For the past few years the congested condition of the railroads has brought about a constantly increasing use of the motor trucks for handling commodities of various kinds, and at present established motor truck routes exist in several of the states. War conditions materially

affect railroad congestion, with an increasing demand for

motor truck transportation, and the necessity of properly

constructed roads becomes a matter of prime importance.

Some relief should be given through the transportation of

footers, and when they, began to send recruits from McGill University, they thought the untrained "school boys,"

as they called us, would never live up to the reputation of the "Pats.": In fact, the name of the jam served with the army rations was re-named for us, and it was "Pass me the McGill" and probably that l.amt for apple and plum jam will always stick. But they soon found the "candy boys" with only four or five months' training could hold up their end. They had to shove us right through. In all they have tent aix different companies from McGill. $ I joined them during that big scrap ,

in June 1916, the Tpres salient, when the Germans had the offensive. We were sadly outnumbered and the Germans advanced with a heavy artillery barage. Nobody said then that the "candy hoys" did not do their part. It was in that batUe that our Major
