ST . liminary steps have been taken and FOR WAR BREAD NOW. Could Save 125,000,000 -Bushels ;af . Wheat a Year, Says Vrooman.: . A suggestion that American millers ‘might render a great public service in the campaign to prevent,a war, short- age of food by converting into ‘Souria greater percentage of milled wheat was .made in an -authorized statement by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary .of agriculture, “No step -could- do as much to in- crease our food supply immediately.” wrote Mr. Vrooman, “as to put the na tion on a ‘war bread’ basis.” . He pointediout that, while the pres ent milling standard in this country converts only about 72 per cent of the wheat berry into flour, England has adopted an 81 per cent standard, Italy 85 per cent, Switzerland 80 per cent and France 77 per cent, and all of the belligerents .are making bread from wheat flour mixed with rye, barley. corn and potato flour. “Now, before necessity pinches us these are facts which should be consid- ered in all their possible practical bear. ings,” he said, FARMER™ AND ™ Not a “Tightwad" Opposed to Highway Improvement.

A0S i The average farmer, whose support is wanted and is absolutely -essential to any successful program of road build- ing, is not, as many seen to think, a “tightwad” opposed to road bulldingand improvement, said Edward C. Johnson in an address before the Kansas State Good Roads association. He is natural- ly conservative as a result of his occu- pation, training and experience. ‘He is the most reasonable man on earth and willing to follow his best judgment when facts and figures are presented to bim, and he understands. When he realizes, as many already-do, that good roads will mean a saviag in'his hauling charges of as much ss 11.6 cents a ton a mile as was recently shown- for cer- tain counties by the office of public roads of the Unitcd States department of agriculture; when he realizes that improved roads will increase the attend- RED CROSS FOR ANIMALS..

My back ached terribly, also my head.. I let it run on until just lately when I read in the papers of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tab- lets, and having known of Dr. Pierce and some of his medicines I decided to try out Anuric. I have now taken but one box but have been greatly benefited by it. Of course, I couldn’t expect one box to cure me, but know that the An- _uric will cure me from the effects of the first box, as already my backache has almost entirely disa%peared. 1 certainly advise everyone suffering as I did to take Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets.”— Mgs.

We will need to under- stand road building so as not to over capitalize any stretch of roads—in other words, not to put more money into the improvement of any. strip of road than its ton mileage will warrant.
