By these tests alsosit was proven that Father John's Medicine is five times more nourishing than an equal quantity of cod fish, seven and one-half times more nourishing than an equal quantity of oysters and almost six times more nourishing than pure milk Because it supplies this nourishment which you do not obtain from your food and supplies it in the form which the system most easily takes up and turns into tissue, muscle, flesh and strength, Father John's Medicine has had t more than sixty years of success as a food tonic for those who are weak und run down. It is guaranteed that Father John's Medicine positively does not contain any alcohol or any dangerous, habit-forming drugs or opiates, It is a pure and wholesome, nourishing tonic food—a doctor's pregcription, not a patent medicine.

Referring to differentials, the or- der says “In establishing the freight rates herein ordered, while established rate oupings and fixed differentials are not required to be used, their use 1s desirable if found practicable, even though certain rates may result which are lower or higher than would otherwise obtain.” Mr, McAdoo siys in his statement accompanying the order that the United States took over the railroads a8 a war measure, that they must be effectively operated if the war }s to bo won, and that they must be op- erated under the high cost conditions the war has created.

Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, speaking at the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. recently, said: “At the present time we have 170 warships afloat in foreign waters. These vessels are manned by about 40,000 of our American boys. “Hardly a day passes in which we do not add a ship to the American fleet in Europe. A year and a half ago we had about 75,000 men in the navy, but to-day we have close to 370,000 in the service. “Before the end of the year this number will haw been increased to 500,000 men. “At present the navy’s work is to saw wood and to keep its mouth shut.” Every one of those thousands of brave American sailors who are daily risking their lives for their country want to hear from HOME as frequently as_ possible. They are pining for home news. Sometimes their friends forget to write to them and, in consequence, they become lonesome and homesick. Writing a letter is oftentimes a serious task to a {person not accustomed to regular correspondence, and such people usually keep putting it off until, at last, they \forget it altogether and the soldier or sailor has to go without. The next best thing to sending a happy letter from home is to send a bright, cheerful, HOME newspaper \filled with entertaining news—a paper that always looks on the bright side of life and has a heartening, cheerful influence on its readers. Such is the THRICE-A-WEEK edition of THE WORLD, published every Monday, . Wednesday and Saturday. It contains all the latest reliable news of the habitable globe received by cable and wireless from its correspondents everywhere. It only costs ' $1.00 per year, and for that small sum will be sent by mail regularly for twelve months to any soldier or sailor overseas. Every subseriber will receive 156 issues of the paper during the year. That should be a sure cure for loneliness. Gentle reader—You may forget to write to your soldier or sailor at home or abroad, or you may miss the mails, but the Thrice-a-Week World gets there on time with every issue and, even if you do write regularly and punctually, why not ALSO send the paper? When ordering give the full name of the soldier, his company and regiment. Mention the name of the ship if in the United States Navy. Use this coupon: +1918, Publisher N. Y. World, New York City.
