United States Boys Working Reserve The National director of the Boys Working Reserve submits the appended statement: The United States Food Administration publishes this cablegram from Lord Rhondda: "Unless you are able to send the Allies at least seventy-five million bushels of wheat over and above what you have exported up to January 1, and in addition to the total exportable surplus from Canada, I can not take the responsibility of assuring our people that there will be food enough to win the war." To this cable the Food Administration replies : "We will export every grain of what that the American people save from their normal consumption. We believe our people will not fail to meet the emergency." ' Secretary of War Baker assured the Senate committee last week that the year 1918 will place an additional million and a half of American soldiers upon the battlefields of Europe. President Wilson, addressing the farmers of the country one week ago, pointed out the necessity for a greatly increased food supply. If this food is to be produced to win the war there must be men to plant and to harvest the crops that produce it. This year will see approximately ten million men withdrawn from the usual avenues of occupation and diverted to the Army and Navy, to munition plants, and to other industries that bear directly upon the war. The largest single hitherto untapped available labor source is the two million boys of 16 years of age and over who are in the schools, or who are engaged in unessential occupations. The United States Boys' Working Reserve is attempting to mobilize these two million boys to take the places in farm and shop now being vacated by men. National Enrollment Week begins Monday, March 18, when the completion of the enrollment of these boys, we trust, will be ac

complished.

mental poise and tranquility; make war bread taste better, and Improve both temper and digestion. Why not emulate the example . of the old lady who said she had only two teeth left, "but, thank God. they hit." ,; '. That's pretty good advice to follow in the days when we are adjusting our whole lives to meet war time conditions. If you face them with equanimity of spirit and philosophical composure, you'll not notice the discomfiture. . You can make a hell out of heaven and a heaven out of hell. That is, your disposition of mind toward your environment may have such an influence over you that the most beatific surroundings will be a torment, and conversely the most annoying circumstances not be noticed. Really, the war has brought very little annoyance to us. The food and fuel regulations here are insignificantly light compared with the restrictions enforced by police order in Europe. But granted that they are annoying, the civilians of the United States cannot compare their lot with the boys in the camps, and then conclude they have more orders to obey than the fighters. Whenever you feel like grumbling, remember that your sons and brothers are gladly serving with the colors and bringing sacrifices that loom gigantic in comparison with the trivial self-denials asked of you. A grumbler has no place in the American commonwealth today.

Conquest and Kultur "Your Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht has been able to convince himself bow powerful the

wave beat of the ocean knocks at the door of

our people and forces it to demand its place in the world as a great nation; drives it on. in short, to world politics. "Germany's greatness makes it impossible for her to do without the ocean, but the ocean also proves that even in the distance, and on its farther side,. without Germany and the German Emperor no great decision dare henceforth be taken. "I do not believe that thirty years ago our German people, under the leadership of their princes, bled and conquered in order that they might be shoved aside when great decisions are to be made in foreign politics. If that could happen, the idea that the German people are to be considered as a world power would be dead and done for, and it is not my will that this should happen. To this end it is only my duty and my finest privilege to use the proper and, if need be, the most drastic means without fear of consequences. I am convinced that in this course I have the German princes and theGerman people firmly behind me." Kaiser's speech, Kiel, July 3, 1900.

Don't Kick About Your Troubles Dr. John D. Robertson in the Weekly Health Bulletin of Chicago advises more mental poise on the part of citizens. He believes it will help our health and invigorate the community. But read what he says : Stop kicking. Yes. stop it. Stop kicking and complaining about the weather, the coal shortage, the food regulations, about everything in general. Why Btop it? For the simple and all sufficient reason that it doesn't help matters at all. The born pessimist is never a constructive builder along any lines of real and beneficent human activity. Just now, if you will keep your ears open, you will hear people kicking, growling, and bemoaning their woes and troubles everywhere. Well, for our health's sake, let's quit it. Let's take the other viewpoint for a while and see if it won't restore

Butter Substitutes Food substitutes have become an order of the day. Dishes long banished from the table and food articles, formerly rated as an indication of a low standard of living, are today eaten and enjoyed by thousands. Oleomargarine belongs to this class. The high price of butter forced a search for substitutes. Oleomargarine and various other brands, known for many years but spurned by the public because of prejudice and unfounded antagonism, are now being sold in the best stores and are found on many tables. The Indianapolis News, speaking of butter substitutes, has the following to say: These are great days for substitutes. High prices on the one hand and the scarcity of essential foods and government urgings on the other, are bringing about a friendlier attitude toward substitutes once rather generally frowned upon. It is noticeable that practically all groceries and meat shops now sell and keep prominently on display olemargarine and other substitutes for butter which formerly would have been kept out of sight or not sold at all. The use of oleomargarine was once confined, for the most part to cheap restaurants and to camps. When the average family found its use advisable it was asked for shame facedly and the label carefully concealed from the prying eyes of neighbors. It is now bought and used by thousands who can afford real butter, even at present prices, but prefer the substitute which keeps longer, tastes the same to the average palate, and is less likely to become rancid. Oleomargarine manufacturers have always claimed that their produce was the victim of prejudice. It suffered because it was a substitute, not because it was not palatable or wholesome. It is made under government inspection of farm products. Perhaps much disinclination toward its use in former years came from the frauds which were practiced by unscrupulous dealers who sold it in place of butter at butter prices. Law now makes the hazardous. The trouble with the use of substitutes, from the public viewpoint, is their tendency to advance in price iu

tne same, or nigner, ratio, with the article whose place they take. Before the war oleomargarine could be bought for 20 cents a pound. It now sells for nearer 40 cents.

A GERMAN PROPHET

(By R. M. Hutchinson, Indiana W. S. S. Publicity Bureau.) While President Wilson is today the foremost exponent of the doctrine of the" necessity of destroying the military autocracy which rules Germany in' order that the democracy and freedom of the remainder of the world may be preserved, he is not, however, the first to recognize that fact, nor even to clearly state it. On the contrary, it is a striking fact that one "of the first, .if not the first to make -Oils same declaration was himself German Johann Philip Becker. v ' Becker was one of the German republicans who fought under General Franz Sigel as commander of the Baden militia in the uprising of 1849. Be is described by General Sigel in his reminiscences as a most able and trusty fellow soldier. Like the others of those early German patriots Becker saw that in a German republic alone could the German people find happiness and the world find r.eace. See German Distress. In 1862, while Carl Schurtz and Sigel were fighting for the cause of freedom in this country, Becker was observing with distress and concern the growing change in spirit of the German nation. He saw the liberty

The Food Administration Says: . How to Save Wheat: Have a "Wheatless Monday" and a "Wheatless Wednesday" every week and have at least one meal a day without using any wheat at all. Use corn, oats, rye, barley, Instead. Wheatless now means "wheatless." Use no wheat in anything at wheatless meals. Order bread from your baker at least twenty-four hours in advance, so he will not make too much. Cut the bread at the tabie. Use all stale bread for toast or cooking. If every person in America consumes four pounds of wheat flour a week instead of five, we can ship the 220,000,000 bushels which our soldiers and our Allies must have.

Soldier and Sailor Insurance From the Treasury Depgjtment. EVERY American soldier or sailor lost on the torpedoed transport Tuscania was protected by the United States Government insurance and Government compensation. This has been officially announced by Secretary McAdoo. Those who had not applied for insurance were covered by the automatic insurance under the law vhich is payable to a wife, child, or widowed mother. This automatic insurance aggregates $4,300, netting 525 a month for 240 months. Of those who had applied for and obtained insurance many had taken out the maximum amount of $10,000, netting $57.50 a month for 240 months. There have been various causes for delay in forwarding checks to the dependents of soldiers and sailors. The distance of many of the applicants from Washington and the mail congestion prevailing more or less all over the country have caused delay both in the receipt of the applications by the Treasury and the receipt of the checks by the beneficiaries. Another cause is that of the checks sent out 10,000 could not be delivered because the dependents to whom the checks were payable had moved, leaving no forwarding addresses or the addresses originally given were incomplete or erroneous or so illegibly written that they could not be properly deciphered.

Nearly half a million checks were mailed out in Janu

ary and all possible expedition is being made to get all

the addresses and other details correct so that the dependents of the soldiers and sailors will receive their al

lowances promptly and certainly.

DINNER STORIEJ A country vicar advertised for an "ineligible" to make himself useful, etc., in his grounds and garden. A

! likely candidate turned up and, after

being questioned upon several points, the vicar said to him: "You know, we are all vegetarians here, and if I engage you I should like you to conform to our rules. Could you?" The applicant entered into a brown study, and then at last he replied: "I think so, sir; but I should like to ask an important question first. Do you reckon beer a vegetable?" While we are on military matters it might be just as well to give forth to a-palpitating world, all eager for anything that has to do with a gun, the latest thing that the enterprising press agent of the marine corps has turned out. This soldier of the sea tells many stories. You can believe

I them" or not, just as you please, writes

a correspondent. He says that knowledge of the rifle and all its parts is an important part of the training given to the marines at their league Island camp. To the raw Recruit the rifles are pretty puzzling. During the morning inspection recently one of the future sea soldiers handled his rifle poorly. The recruit was taken to task by his officer. "Are you acquainted with the parts of your rifle?" asked the officer, sternly. "Yes, sir" the recruit replied. "Well, where is the balance located?" "I don't know, sir," said the marine, glancing nervously at his rifle. "It was all here this morning." "I heard my boy William say the other day that your son was his alter ego." "What a liar! My son was never anything but a good friend to him."

By all means, girls, prepare a lemon lotion to keep your skin flexible and young looking. You will soon realize that true loveliness does not mean the powdery-look or waxen colorlessness of some hot-house flower, but is typified by the velvety softness of your skin, your peach-like complexion and rosy-white hands. At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach

and remove such blemishes as freckles,

sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard - white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck .arms and hands. It

loving German the German who read his Schiller and his Goethe and who "loved the good, the beautiful and the true" disappearing and in his place the coming of. the proud, overbearing people, filled with a militaristic and imperialistic spirit. In that year, 1862, Becker wrote a book which he called "How. and When." In that book, with true prophetic spirit, and with all the righteous indignation of a prophet in Israel, he denounced that growing spirit of arrogance and lft of domination which was growing Tip in the German empire. Becker did not believe it would be possible to establish . an empire in Germany, and of course there was bis mistake in underestimating., the hold which the new doctrine would get upon the German people. But if he failed to properly estimate the attraction of the doctrine for the German people; he did not fail in bis prediction o: what the result would be. "Even if an empire were a possibility," he 6aid, "it would riot be worth a drop of the blood that would have to be shed, for, even if it did give us unity, we should have to conquer our liberty by its overthrow, by a second struggle full of sacrifice, but meantime the empire would have become a permanent danger to the independence of all nations and to all civilizations." Thus did a German of the type of Germans, whom all the world loved and respected and were glad to call their neighbors, clearly foresee what would be, and what has since come to be, the inescapable result of the Prussian militaristic and imperialistic spirit. War of Emancipation. As America goes deeper and deeper into this war, and as the principles at stake are becoming more and more clearly defined, it is not surprising that Americans with German blood in their veins are beginning to realize that this war is not only a war to preserve the freedom and democracy of the world, but is also a war for the emancipation of the Fatherland itself. The great misfortune is that Becker's prophecy has been so long unread and so long forgotten that the paid German emmissary of the new regime in Germany has been able to work his wily way with men who have Teutonic blood in their veins. It. is part of the work of the WarSavings campaign to spread this education among the workers and those who have not had time while making a living to delve deeply into history, either of this country or of Germany. And should the two-billion dollar mark not be reached the educational value of the campaign would continue to go on. The War-Savings Committee, however, feels that if the work of education is well done not only will the issues of the war be put clearly before the people, and labor be released to produce the material of war, but the $2,000,000,000 will also be forthcoming, and no little part of it will have been produced by Americans with German blood in their veins.

Magnesia Baths For Dyspeptic Stomachs How They Neutralize or, Take Up The Dangerous Stomach Acids Which Cause Indigestion.

BV A SPECIALIST Physicians agree that nearly ninetenth of the cases of stomach "trouble, dyspepsia and indigestion are caused by an excess of hvdroohloric acid in the stomach. "Acid Stomach'' is an exceedingly dangerous condition because the acid irritates and inflames the delicate stomach walls and lining, causing the partially digested food to sour and ferment and develop gas. bloat, nausea and heartburn. Acid stomaches should be neutralized. Do not treat with digestive pills or drugs but give the stomach a magnesia bath to clean out the dangerous acid accumulation and then all pain and discomfort will quickly stop. To give the stomach a genuine magnesia bath go to any drug store and get about 2 oz. of pure bisurated magnesia powder and take a teaspoonful in a cup of hot or cold water. This makes an agreeable drink and washes down Into your acid inflamed and burning stomach where In less than ten minutes It soothes and cools the heated walls and takes up or neutralizes every trace of excess acid much as a sponge or blotting paper might do. With the removal of the acM from the stomach every symptom of indigestion will stop. Magnesia baths are being taken daily by thousands of former dyspeptics who now eat as they please without a sign of indigestion. Adv.
