L * What is the answer? v 3 Phe answer is, that in grapp arising from the world conflict, we true—tended to lose sight of an even w .welfare of our young people. . S 2 L America can never afford to.neglect her growing chlldre!}; . We are today the proud nation we are; our armies “over there are the wonder of the nations, because in the years past the = child has held front.place in every scheme of American life. T The day is forever past when the child can be lgft to Jpst “come up,” and amount to anything. With the increasing complexity of life he demands increased attention if he is to es- cape the multiplying pitfalls in his path. : s This country could with profit largely increase its force of trnant officers. Every community should maintain st_wh an of- ficial, and in the present conditions, where the attention of our men is riveted -on the preblem of winning the war, 80 ‘women of thecountry should be largely intrusted ‘thh this im- portant duty. In dealing with our youthful delinquents;-the elements of love and mercy must play a large part, and every community in our country. has large-hearted, noble women who are peculiarly fitted for this delicate task. . Yes, we know our women have a large share in the prac- tical affairs of the great conflict, but in the interest of the fg-’ ture men and women of our country, they must open their great hearts and look ‘after the erring children of the land. " There is no nobler task that could engage their services. 0. HOUSEWIVES! GET AN EARLY START Let twelve cans stand whereby eight stood last year, and 16t twelve families for every eight that put;up fruits and vege- tables a_year ago, is the advice that Uncle Sam sends out after a careful survey of the food supply, and the prospects for next winter. s S With the depleted amount of tin available for _the fac- tories, and the fewer men and women available/ for factory nning the Public Safety commission believes that it is im- perative that the home supply, particularly of vegetables, be increased materially over last year. It.is safe to say that no housewife can have too much. - N The splendid effort of thefarmers to furnish fresh vege- ‘tables and fruits and the work of home gardeners should not be wasted. But a'certain amouint of the produce can be eaten, and the amount produced promises to be large. The old joke told to the Englishman, “we eat what we can, and what we can’t eat we can,” must be a reality this year if the farmers are to be encouraged to raise a like heavy crop next year. 0 Here’s a bright example of bone head: A-Twin City resi- dent was called in the last draft and accepted. Then he gave up a position paying $3,500 per year, sold his auto and en- trained with the rest of the quota. At the camp he was sent back home because he was “physically unfit.” = Who is it on? RSN, M Secretary McAdoo needs a rest. He is going west in the endeavor to find a spot where no one ever-heard of the: war or the treasury or Liberty bonds or the railroads. To accom- plish this result he will have to climb a mountain alone and git solitary on the peak. ling with the great quest.ioqs have—inadvertently, it is eightier 'matter, the The man who loves liberty best and would do his utmost for it is the one who is most willing to have the government tell him what he shall eat, how long-his coat-shall be and how many pockets he may have upon it. 4 —_— Prof. Scott of the University of Wisconsin says that the ‘expenses of each person in the United States must be reduced 25 per cent. Is a baby a person? and if so, how can a baby’s “expenses be cut 25 per cent? - : —_— If gratitude is due to the man who made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, what is due to the farmer who has planted this year twice the acreage of wheat that he ever did before? —_— A mother in Chicago had her son arrested for evading the draft.

Wash yourself on the inside befor; = breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. { For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste ‘material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and gener- ates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. A _quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with a dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow compleéxion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stom- ach or constipation are assured of pronounced improvement in both health and appearance shortly. ol Our New Thrift- Sl ‘demands the utmost conservation’ here at home. :Whatever the size of _your estate, both your. time and your money can be saved for you by the Wells- Dickey Trust Company, in one or more of the following capacities: i . . 1.
