"DEAD SOLDIER" IS
REVIVED IN MORGUE
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 22.—The
story of the remarkable recovery
of Fred Brown, one of Logan coun
ty's quota of drafted men serving at
Camp Travis, Texas, has just reach
ed his parents, Mr. a!nd Mrs!. W. W.
Brown of this city.
While performing his Army duties
he suffered an injury to the spine,
necessitating a surgical operation.
Following the operation he failed
to rally from the influence of an
anasthetic, and not responding to
the usual method of resuscitation,
he finally was pronounced dead and
the body sent to the morgue.
One of the assistants there
thought he detected signs of life
and soon restored the supposed dead
man to consciousness. The young
man is in the hospital well on liis
way to recovery.

"There are two great duties con
fr iifiug the American nation at the
present time. The first is to give
all wo can in money. More than
eighteen billion dollars are needed
bv the United States the first year
In order to equip and maintain an
army, navy, build airplanes and
merchant ships. The other duty is
grea'er than this, it is the con
servation of food."
Thus sooke H. L. Faulkner, of Ju«
ueau, last night before an audience
in the Popular Picture Palace. His
tor'c of conservation was regarding
tne necessity of food conservation
and the plan successfully carried
out in Juneau and recommended by
Herbert Hoover.
"All else fails if we fail to sup
ply our alies with food," Mr. Faulk
ner continued. "There is a shortage!
of wheat, fats, meat, and sugar in ]
Europe at the present time, and
there will be a snortage here too if
the food is not conserved."
Mr. Faulkner said there are
250,000,000 bushels of wheat less
in the world today than the people
reed. In Europe men have been
taket. /rom the farms and fields by
the tens of millions, hence there is
no one to raise or poduce the food
and grains. The only way to make
up this shortage is to save and
to not waste. The workingman, who
requires heavy food need only cut
out Pll waste, and the man who
works in the office and who needs
littin food should eat less than
t' majority of them are doing.
The salvation of our country de
pends upon saving the food at
h nic, declared Mr. Faulkner.
The program carried out in Ju
neau wm one of organizations with
su divisions and committees. Each
lodge and church and organization
In tne city appointed committees
whiob made up the food Baving or
ganizP'ion. This again appointed
c mmittees, they appointed cap
tains. lieutenants, etc. and canvass
e< the town securing signatures to
a Pledge to observe certain meat
less and wheatless meals.
This nlan will be carried out In
Ska?way, and announcement of its
proeress will be made from day to
day. t 1
