As a matter of fact, board has no authority to hire any- one to usurp the function of a cil health officer. Of necessity, in any event, he is the final authority and anyone employed by the board to look after the health of the community must be directly under his authority. It is just as well for the members of the schoo] board to analyze this movement and find whether it is not more in the interest of foisting an independent medical inspection upon the! tax-payers and parents of chil- dren, rather than a disinterested ef- fort to secure a school nurse.

Let us not divide authority or multiply expense. ‘Let us not pull somebody's chestnuts out of the fire, under the guise of a public necessity. the school EVERYONE CAN HELP, It is impossible to put too much emphasis upon the necessity for food saving by everyone during the war. Food is going to play as important a part, if not a more important part, in the war than guns and ammuni- tion. The saving of food is very largely an individual problem. In the final analysis it is up to the women of the nation. Every woman should do her part in the government's campaign to in- * crease and conserve the nation’s food supplies, The food necessities of all the na- tions with which we are allied in war against Germany are very great. The people of America must save every pound of food that self-imposed rigid economy makes possible, to the end that there be the greatest possi- ble surplus for shipment to our hard Pressed allies. Do not make the mistake of con- fusing the food problem with the fin- ancial problem. You have no more moral right to waste food simply because you can jisted saved so that there will be enough to go around, { Every pound of food that finds its way to.the garbage can means that much loss of fighting strength.

Ma ving, rather than wasting, your social standard. | You can fight for your country in your kitchen just as effectively as} your husbands, brothers, sons andj sweethearts are fighting for it on the} field of battle. SHOULD PROVIDE. fvery American who enlists either in the army op navy in the war against Germany should know when he does so that his family’s financial obligations are automatically assum: ed by the government. It should make no difference whether these obligations run to a de | pendent father and mother, or de-} pendent wife and children, It should make no difference whether the en- listment is voluntary or compulsory. The government has the right not only to ask, but to demand, that every man do his duty. But jt has no moral right either to ask or demand that men enlist to fight for their country unless at the same time it makes am ple provision for the support of those | who thus are deprived of their hread-! winners, Whether this provision form of wages paid to the soldier and | sailor, thus enabling them to con- tinue to support their families, or whether it is in the form of direct payments by the government to the/ families is merely a matter of deta! +f The important consideration is that | the disgraceful situation which | ex | is In the!

If you have a cat, make sure that it doesn't chase birds away, even if you have to sacrifice all nine of the cat's lives, This year the nation needs food— all the food you and every other pa- triotic citizen can grow. By the same token it needs birds, and doesn't need butterflies.

Huston, is- the following statement: portance to the nation of a y adequate food supply for }the coming year cannot be over-em- phasized in view of the economic problems which may arise as a result of the entrance! of the United States into the war. Every effort should be made to produce more crops than are needed for our own requirements. Many millions of people across the seas, as well as our oWn people, must rely in large part upon the products of our fields and ranges. This situ- ation will ‘continue to exist even though hostilities should end unex- pectedly since European pro- duction ¢: stored immedi- ately to . Recogni- tion of the fact that the world at | large, as well as our own consumers, | must rely more strongly on American \farmers this year than ever before should encourage them to strive to ithe utmost to meet these urgent | needs. “The genero Increase Yields. “It is obvious that the greatest and | most important service that is re quired of our agriculture under ex- | isting conditions is an enlarged pro- i duction of the staple food crops. Be- ‘cause of the shortage of such crops | practically throughout the world | there is no risk.in the near future of xcessive production such as some- | times has resulted in unremunerative | prices to producers. This is particu- | larly true of the cereals and of peas, | beans, cowpeas, soybeans and buck- | wheat. In view of the world scarcity {of food, there is hardly a possibility | that the production of these crops by the farmers of the United States can compensated for in some way, will mean a material reduction in the sup- plies of our most important bread ce- real. Where winter wheat has been damaged sufficiently to justify the abandonment of fields, it should by all means be replaced by spring- planted food crops, preferably small grains or corn. The acreage of win- ter wheat seeded last fall is estimated at 40,080,000, or only two per cent above that of the preceding year (39,- 203,000 acres), and about one-eighth more than the average for the pre ceding five-year period (35,724,000). The condition of this crop, as shown by the department in its report of April 7, is more than 25 per cent be- low the average condition April 1 for the past 10 years. This condition forecasts a production this year near- ly 52,000,000 bushels less than that of 1916 and 243,000,000 bushels less than the crop of 1915. “Climatic requirements of spring wheat during the last few weeks of its growth render it a more risky crop than others to plant outside the areas in which its production has been proved to be successful, so that it is not recomménded for regions where oats or corn will be more cer- tain to produce satisfactory yields. In the northern spring-wheat states, however, where old ground has been reserved for flax and seed wheat {s available, flax ground may well be sown with spring wheat and new land broken for flax where such land is available. In the Pacific North- west, where the seed supply of well adapted varieties is adequate, a con- siderably increased acreage of spring wheat appears probable.

This ex- pansion of acreage should be to the limit permitted by available good seed, labor, and equipment. The plac- ing of too great emphasis on produc- tion in new regions is inadvisable since the introduction into a farm op- eration of a crop not usually grown frequently involves practical difficul- tion, particularly of food crops. If he has control of tillable land not in use or money lying idle, or labor unem- ployed—he should extend his opera- tions so as to employ those resources to the fullest extent. This does not mean that he should rob° his land, waste his capital, or expend his labor fruitlessly, but that by wise planning and earnest effort he should turn out a greater quantity of food crops than ever before. He will not lose by it; and he will perform an important service in supporting his country in the task that lies before it. The agri- cultural sufficiently of a nation is not attained unless as the units which compose it are efficient. Those agri- ties not easily foreseen nor quickly surmountab! Wheat Situation Serious, “Taking the winter-wheat territory as a whole, winter killing has occur- red to an extent very much greater than usual. This obviously, if not cultural workers who produce, con- serve and market wisely will help to- ward the achievement of national ag- ricultural sufficiency, and thus ‘will perform valuable service for the na- tion.” wow = SHE 0 * J | CORRESPONDENCE é [ | acne IRIN ‘DOUGLAS.

HERE FROM HAZEN. L. G. Eastman of Hazen was among the business visitors in the capital city during the week end. apolis, THE HEALTH HABIT , (By Dr. L. ©. Bowers.) The late Elbert ‘Hubbard once said: “Most people go through life on a short allowance of good air and oxy- gen and too much food. Life is com- bustion, The digestive tract is the boiler. The value of exercise in the open air lies in the fact of getting a goodly draft of oxygen through your system and this forced draft is both eliminating refuse and jburning up slag.” Breathe deeply when in the open air. Sleep in a room with windows open wide. \ Drink six or eight glasses of pure water daily, and keep well. But if one has been shut up within doors during the cold winter months, has eaten and drunk things which he should not, if he or she has overwork- ed in stale air, that person needs a general tonic and housecleaning. Es- pecially is this so at this time of the year. For a tonic that will freshen up the blood, clean the digestive tract and put new force and vim into you, I know of nothing better than an al- terative extract with glycerine, made from Golden ‘Seal root, Oregon Grape root, Blood root, Stone root and Queen’s root—and it contains no alco- hol or narcotic, so is perfectly sate to take. This tonic has beep sold for fifty years in the form of Dr. Pierce’ Golden Medical Discovery. It can be had now in tablet as well as liquid form at most drug stores, When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night, when you suffer with sick headache, or diz- zy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the wea- ther is bad, ask your druggist for Anuric, double strength.
