P | With Terrible Stomach Trouble Until She Tned “FRUIT-A-TIVES' MRS..F. S. STOLZ 8507 Sacto Awe., Sacramento, Cal. “I had Stomach Trouble for 10 years, which became so bad that I got Stomack Cramps two or three times @ week. After years of terrible torture, I ‘read about ‘Fruit-a-tives’ or Fruit Liver Tablets, and sent for a trial box and wrote that ittwas the last remedy X would use—if ‘Fruit-a-tives’ did not help me, I would die. After taking the trial box, I felt better, so kept on taking ‘Fruit-a- tives’ fornearly a year, and am thank- ful to say ‘Fruit-a-tives’ saved my life. + It also saved a friend from an operatien for Stomach Trouble, after he had given up all hope of getting well”, Mazs.

FOOD CONTROLLER'S CATEGHISM HERE Organization and Aims Found in New Compilation 1. What is'the United States Food Administration? A government organization created as a war measure to meet all food problems, national and international. 2. How was it created? Congress gave the president power to create it by executive order. 3. When was it created? August 10, 1917. 4, What work this date? On May 17, 1917, the president re- quested Herbert Hoover to take over the proposed task of food administra- tion, and on June 12, 1917, he urged Mr. Hoover to begin assembling the voluntary forces of the country to save food. 5. What is the purpose of the Food Administration ? (a) To secure sufficient food for our civilian population, for our sol- diers, for the soldiers and civilians of our associates in the war. (b) To maintain an even supply of essential foods. (¢) To stabilize prices by abolish- ing speculation, hoarding, and pro- fiteering. 6. What does the Food Adminis- tration ask of the American people? To save wheat; to save meat; to save sugar; to save fats; to save trans- portation; to eliminate waste; to sub- stitute other foods for those we are asked to save; to eat only as much as we need. 7. How complished ? By increased production, proper distribution, control of exports and checking of speculation; but chiefly by the voluntary effort of every man, woman and child in the United tSates. 8. TIs the entire work of the Food Administration done from the cen- tral office in Washington? No, the work is decentralized. Every state has. its own Federal Food Administrator recommended by Mr. Hoover and appointed by the pres dent. 9. What is the meaning term ‘‘decentralized 7" Removing some of the functions of an organization from the central anu- thoerity to local authorities. 10. Why can not all tive work be done in Washington? Because state laws and ldcal con- ditions vary so greatly; but central authority remains there and policies are decided by the United States Food Administration. 11. How is the work in each state decentralized ? Through the appointment by its Federal TFood Administrator of a county chairman or administrator for each county. 12. What assistants has the Fed- eral Food Administrator in his work? State and county administrators are alded by home economic directors; by merchant representatives, who look after the stores; by hotel chairmen, who supervise hotels and restaurant: by library directors, who render ser- vice through the public librartes; by educational directors, 13. Do the Federal Food admini trators of the various states keep in touch with the United States Food Administration in Washington? Yes 14. was begun before can these things be ac- of the How? By frequent conference and can- stant interchange of information re- lating to national policies and local conditions. 15. What salaries are received by “June ‘adjuged that William J. administra- all- United States FFood administrator, 1 the Federal Food administrators af the different state: They receive no their services to the government. 16. Why does the Food administra- tion seem to change its policy in many of its rulings? Because, although the purpose re- mains the same, new factors con- stantly arise in our present disturbed condition which make necessary a re- adjustment of method and policy to that purpose. aries; they give Beef. 17. Why is beef one of the meats we are asked to save for the Allies? Because it is a concentrated food and keeps well. 18. Is there‘a shortage of beef in Europe? Yes; there has been a large decrease af cattle in Kurope since the war be- gan. 19. Why tle there? Because of lack of men to tend cat tle, insufficient fodder, and no means of growing enough fodder because much land has to grain and other human food. 20 Why is cattle shortage partic- v serious? is it difcult to raise cat- Because it means not only less meat ) so less milk MARKET SLUMPS, Only 50 Weddings Take Place in City During the Month of June. The month of June, which is gen- crally the month of roses and brides, has been far behind its usual aver- age this year and records in the city clerk’s officc show that only 50 wed- dings have taken place in the ecity since the first of the month. In previous years the month of June has been the banner month for weddings and usually the total has reached well up toward 100. This vear, however, owing to the war and the uncertainty of conditions, the marriage market has suffered a se- vere slum MARRIAGF E. Davenport, of New Britain, and Annie M.

And it is further ordered and ad- judged that four months from and after June 25, 1918 be and the same is hereby limited for the presentation to said Receiver of claims against Rpoda Hartford County, as 'said estate, that all claims not so pre- sented, be thereafter forever barred, and that sald Receiver give notice to all parties concerned of said limitation and that all claims not presented within the time limited shall be thereafter barred, and of the address to which claims can be sent to it by mail, by publishing such notice in three issues of the New ‘Britain Herald, a newspaper publish- ed in New Britain, and by causing a copy of said notice to be malled postage prepaid to each known creditor, all on or before the 15th day of July, 1918.
