Save Food or Lack It. What is being accomplished by the attempt at food conservation by voluntary restriction on the part of the individual is not announced, even if it is known, but such information as is given indicates that the results are not satisfactory. Foodstuffs have not been saved to the amount needed. Voluntary restriction has not been adopted generally. Warnings have not been heeded. Advice has not been taken. Habits have not been modified. This, it is feared, applies to national habits generally and broadly. The exception which would have to be made in behalf of communities and individuals and groups of individuals may be noteworthy, but in an operation so vast the adoption of the voluntary scheme may have been effective only in a thinking, unselfish, patriotic fringe of the great mass. The question immediately pressing is one of transportation. In a country of such resources as the United States a failure of the scheme of voluntary restriction would not be felt now. That would show its effect later. There are grains, meats, and needed foodstuffs to move to ports for shipment abroad and with a readjustment of transportation the needs of the allies will be met. But this movement of foodstuffs, when it becomes effective, is a movement out of the store accumulated for domestic consumption. This movement, it has been announced as a warning, will create a deficit. No plan of meeting it other than the plan of voluntary restriction is under consideration. The government attempts to smooth out temporary obstruction in ; distribution by control of distribution, but the principal factor is still in the hands of the peo.'ple voluntary obedience to a food saving schedule. If we assume that all the information upon ; which injunctions and pleas are issued is correct, then the people cither will spread the deficiency .over the required period and will not suffer the
lack of important foods or they will heedlessly eat themselves into a state of downright deprivation. The scheme of avoiding trouble by self-denial is one which comes from the finest hopes of the intelligence of democracy. It would be a magnificent thing if it succeeded. It would be a mobilization and application of intelligence, a mass movement of the most stimulating character. If it does not succeed there will be trouble. Chicago Tribune.
An Edge of Steel
'T
By J. H. HAXFORD
N France the men are wrought to an edge of steel.
and the women are a line of fire behind them." An edge of steel a line of fire. The image
of a nation energized for war! But this is France. And we. the men and women of America, are we, too, of steel and fire? Fine as our national temper has become, it falls far short of this. The war is too remote. No cannon thunder at our ports. No hostile airplanes hover in our skies. In a trench or two along the battle front there lie and watch a few to whom America is home. They have already suffered. They have paid their first toll in prisoners and in blood. They are in contact with the foe. Others behind them hear the roar of distant guns. Still more are on the sea, conscious of the vague presence of an enemy beneath. At home busy preparation goes on among half a. million to whom the war is still far away a thing heard of, waited for, not yet seen. And the rest: The hundred-odd millions of men and women in their homes! In the main, we go on the even tenor of our way. We eat enough as yet; we work a little harder than last year; we take many of our accustomed pleasures; and, save for occasion bad dreams, we sleep. The thought of war comes to us not above a dozen times a days. The thing that will make us steel and fire draws nearer every hour. In some few months, before the leaves are come and gone upon the trees, that half million will be side by side with Pershing's handful at the front. Long before that time another half million will have left their work and play for the bustle of the camps. More and more the war comes home to us. The battle line, that cutting edge in France, is not a remote and alien thing; it is becoming, it has become, our flesh and blood. It is "closer to us than breathing and dearer than hands and feet." Vibrant currents of sensation and energy pass from us to it and from it to us. The nerves of our whole being begin to throb in it. More and more the war comes home. It is no longer "the stranger that is within our gates." It imperative
ly demands admittance to our inmost thought. ' "These are the times that try men's souls," rote ! nDIirriCTC ADC Thomas Paine in 1775. and the words lean frpsh into n.ir ! UKUlllilD 1 J) AKL

The Past That Makes The Present Possible Year after year since 1851 the Western Union Telegraph Co. has gone ahead, growing in scope and public usefulness. Now it uses one million, five hundred thousand miles of wire goes into twenty-six thousand cities, towns and hamlets and gives work to fifty thousand employees. Today under war conditions, thousands of our boys in khaki are safer, happier, better clothed, better housed and better equipped because there is such a thing as a world-wide telegraph system.

Departures, sinkings, casualty lists, thrusts from unexpected quarters, reverses, disasters, new loans, new labors, new sacrifices we shall know them all.

To that high call to dedicate to the cause of liberty and right "our lives and fortunes, everything that we have and everything that we are," we shall respond.

LOUD IN PRAISE OF HULL'S SUPERLATIVE Richrooud druggists are very enthusiastic nvpr thf salf of Hull's Super
lative. "We sell lots of it," several j druggists said, "and are glad to rec- i ommend it and stand back of it for if J the customer does not get the relief he thinks he is entitled to all he has j to do is return the partly filled or!
empty bottle and get his money back. Hull's Superlative has been doing a great work for more than 28 years. Hundreds of men and women from every part of the country have written in praise of this preparation, telling how it banished stomach troubles, nerve disorders, rheumatic conditions, colds, grip, tonsilitis and other ailments. ANALYZED BY CHEMIST Not many months ago Professor
Cloyd M. Reeg, Dean of the Department of Science Findy College, com-j pleted a very careful and thorough j analysis of Hull's Superlative. Pro- J fessor Reeg says: 'Hull's Superla-1 tive contains in very highly concen- j
trated form the important salts and minerals of which the body is composed and which the blood, tissues and bones must contain in proper proportion in order to maintain a proper health balance. "Hull's Superlative," continued the Professor, "is identical in principle to

Rheumatism was believed to be incurable for many years before the discovery of radium. And even the discovery of radium has helped only a comparatively small number of the thousands of men and women who suffer from rheumatism because the redium treatment has been enormously expensive. Now, however, anybody can try radium at home. The manufacturers of Tanlac, America's most famous tonic, have placed a product for rheumatism on the market and it contains radium. Tanlac Rheumatic Treatment, under which name the new product is being introduced, is being explained to folks in the larger cities by the "Tanlac Man" the unique character who. more than three years ago, made the rounds of the larger towns explaining Tanla:. The Tanlac Man at Cincinnati said with regard to Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment : "Rheumatism is apparently a mysterious disease. It comes and goes with no reason or regularity and sharp, shooting pains in the limbs and other parts of the body becomes more frequent until it is chronic. Then swelling sets in and often victims of rheumatism are so crippled by the pains they can hardly move about. "As a matter of fact, however, rheumatism is a simple disease. It is generally accepted in medical circles that it is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is simply a naturai poison. It travels about the circulatory system of the blood and is liable to settle in any one point. This causes rheumatism. "To benefit cases of rheumatism it is necessary to treat the blood. If the blood is free of impurities there can be no rheumatism. Radium enriches and purifies the blood and in this wav overcomes rheumatism. It is considered one of the most efficient curative agencies for rheumatism known to medical science." Get Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment today and get rid of rheumatism. Yo'i can get Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment at any good drug store where you buy Tanlac, the famous tonic. Adv.
