The women of America can pre- sent that much to the nation without spending a cent or plant- ing a square foot of ground. All they have to do is to stop using white bread, made of bleached flour which has been deprived of the grain germ and of. valuable mineral salts, and serve whole wheat bread instead. And this would be no hardship, but a positive gain, for the discarded material is exceedingly wholesome, and those who have the habit, insist that it greatly improves the taste. Dieticians have long urged us to make this change but we haven't tak- en their advice very seriously. Now, however, there is an urgent reason for undertaking this change at once, The wheat crop has not been over large this year. This coun- try needs wheat. Our allied need wheat, and we must begin in earnest to think about saving it. This merely means getting used to it. ‘Food, like a good many other things, is very much a matter of fa- shion and habit. if a few: ultra-smart women would just begin by giving some brown bread teas, and by serv- ing corn muffing at dinner, we would all want to get into e at once, and before we knew it, would be eating graham bread with ice cream and thinking we were enormously sophisticated. With the fashion once established, habit would soon follow in its wake and we could thus aid our digestions and our country at the same time. One of the National unions has just organized a “home guard” of men who cannot enlist for active fighting, but who will form a “plant- an-acre army.” They argue that the food. So with an out it can’t manufacture each man wil “do his bit” Without stepping outside their doors the women can become a home guard for the conservation of food resources by taking up the whole wheat propaganda. It seems a trifling matter, but if this very appreciable amount to this year’s wheat crop, be dinner for all members to meet at the Ma- | {ed Harry Walthall, which was shown ; at the Bismarck and Orpheum the- Dressy Hat That BY BETTY BROWN New York, April 17—The dressy hat which every woman wants is mil- liner’s chief problem, because it must be made of not more than three dif- ferent matexials,.an must have the Milliner’s Chief Problem!

Resolutions. praying that the rail- way companies out of a spirit of pat- riotism do not now seek to place in effect the fifteen per cent freight in- crease for which they have petitioned the interstate commerce commission were introduced by the North Dakota rail board at the conference of ship- pers and state railway commissions held last week in Chicago. The resolutions set forth the fact that the nation now is seeking to appearance of being very elaborate. A triumph of this kind is a simple straw shape having a high frill of fine lace wired in scallops and held in position in front by a superb pink rose, “THE TRUANT SOUL" DRANS LARGE CROWDS “The Truant Soul” the Essanay masterpicture, featuring the renown- aters last night, drew capacity houses. It is one of the most remarkable pho- todramas ever presented. The audi- ences last eveni! at tense while the eight reeis unfolded this picture which contians the best and most es- sential ingredients which go to make an ideal cinematic melodrama. When Henry Walthall said his role of Dr. Lancaster in Soul” was his best effort, those who have seen him in “The Birth of a Nation” and “The Avenging Con- science” wondered, but after viewing his work last night, the great artist knew ‘best. The picture will be shown again this evening at the Bismarck theater only. Manager Bauer of the Orpheum has changed his program to a five reel film featuring June Caprice and a two reel Fox comedy. Suffragists Planning Welcome For Dr. Jones Members of Capital City Suffrage league are making extensive prepara- tions for the reception of Dr. Efile McCullom Jones, who comes here next Sunday and who will speak at the Presbyterian church Sunday eve- ning and at the Knights of Columbus hall Monday evening. she will also speak at the First Baptist church Sun- day morning and at the high schoot Monday afternoon at Dr, Jones, who is making a tour of the state in the interest of the cause, has been on the lecture platform for some time, having lectured many times on the Passion Play and other subjects at chautauquas and similar large gatherings.

This institution conferred upon her the honorary degree of Doctor of Di- vinity, she being one of less than half dozen women of the country to be so honored. Dr. Jones has (been affiliat- ed with many of the state organiza- tions of Iowa and is a member of the “The Truant! ters and was twice elected president of the twin city ministerial associa- tion, Although known as a great speaker, yet those who know her best think of her not as a lecturer or magnetic leader, but a8 2 home woman, the mother of two beautiful daughters.

WOMEN OFFER SERVICES TO COUNTRY The great fight ‘or the presidency of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the annual congress, which opened in Washington, Mon- day, has taken secondary place and this body of patriotic women, repre- senting 94,000 of the descendants of the Revolutionary fathers, are cen- tering their time on the great war issue. Mrs. ‘William’ Cumming Story of New York City, the retiring presi- dent, previous ta the call of the con- Bress sent out a, formal proclamation reminding the daughters of their duty to spread among fellow citizens the significance of the national slogan, “Stand by the 'President.” A great response of loyally and support was the result of the proclamation, Suggestions have flooded the ses- sions as to how the daughters can ‘best serve the country as an organ- ization and many of them will be put into practice if ne ary, The race for president this year is confined to four candidates. ‘Mrs. teorge Thatcher Guernsey of Kan- sas, Mrs, John ‘Miller Horton of Buf- falo, N.

May ONE DOSE WILL CONVINCE marshal all its resources in the in- crease of food products to meet mili- tary necessity; that North Dakota and other agricultural states are making every effort to co-operate in this undertaking, and that prelimin- ary estimates of the cost to North Dakota farmers of the proposed fif- teen per cent advance show that it would amount to an additional an- nual tax equivalent to the entire tax levy for state purposes for two years. Such a tax on agricultural products, the North Dakota commission urged, would not tend to encourage increas- ed production in North Dakota or elsewhere in the United States. “Therefore,” conclude the resolutions, “we believe that no increase in rates should be granted except after a full hearing and justification before the interstate commerce commission.” “This’ enormous increase in freight revenues,” said a member of the board this morning, “it is estimated will total more than $250,000,000 an- nually, an added tax on the American people of nearly $1,000,600 a day. The financial condition of the United States railroads for the year 1916 is the most favorable in their history; the net earnings for 1916 exceed those for 1915 by more than $3,000,- 000, and exceed the net earnings for any other year in’their entire history by more than $200,000,000. The sense of the Chi igo meeting seemed to be ads should be assured such revenu would enable them to meet increased operating expenses but that in the present .emergency they should not ask for a penny more than needed.

Be- fore the writer could get back from the Tribune of- fice to the store sugar had advanced 25¢ per hundred pounds. At 3 o’clock the next afternoon it advanced another 25e. Well, we had advertised, we were game, we stood the loss. Many housewives are or- dering canned goods and other supplies in large quan- tities. Often we fill these orders for less money than we can replace the goods from the wholesale houses. It is common to fill an or- der and then eall up the wholesale house to replacd it and find that prices are away over what we sold it for, But we have been com- pelled to stick this little notice at the head of our The McConkey Commercial Co. 510 Broadway ads, and will have to keep it there, ‘‘we cannot guar- antee prices after twelve o’elock tomorrow.’’ We will observe them continuously until we can quote a lower price if possible, but we do not expect to quote lower prices soon. The ads tell our customers the prices on ‘the day of pub- lication, but as they can- not get delivery that day, we give them until noon the next day to make orders, but decline to fill them at prices quoted, after, noon sharp, if there has been too much of an advance in the meantime. Buy all the necessities you can spare the cash to pay for. Don’t get excited, but keep cool and economize all you can, but do not starve or skimp too closely. You will find this advice sound and we would advise you to follow it.
