"America For Americans
FOOD WINS THE WAR
- DON'T WASTE IT
FACE THE FA ITS
Let us face the facts. The war |
situation is critical. Unless the Al
lie fight as th'.y never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry
men cannot fight at their best; nor
hunyry nations. Prance, Kngland,
aud Itaiv are going hungry unless
we feed them.
WHEAT SAVINGS—'They must
ha>*» whi>at. It is the best food to
figrt on. It is thi» easiest to
ship. U'e alone can sj>are it to
'hem. I5y saying just a little —
less than a quarter of what we ate
lasi year—we can supi>ort those
who are fighting our battles. And
we can do it without stinting our
selves. \Ve have only to substitute i
another food just as good.
THE CORN OF PLENTY—Corn is I
th.;" food. There's a surplus of it.
Providena -■ has been generous in the
hour of our need. It has given us
corn in such bounty as was never
kuwoa before. Tot s of ci/rn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred mil
lion bushels over and above our
regular needs. All we have to do
is to learn, to appreciate it. Was
ever patriotic duty made so e;isy?
And so clear?
AMERICA o OWN FOOD—Com:
It is the true American food. Th.e
Indians, hardiest of races, lived on
it. Our forefathers adopt* d the
diet and conquered a continent. For
* great section of <our country it
has long been the staff of life.
How well the South fuoght on it,
history tells. No»- it cau help Am
erica win a world war.
LEARX SOMETHING—Cora! It
'su't on® food. It's a dozen. It's
a cereal, it's a vegetable. It's
a oread. It's a dessert. It's nu
tritious; more food value in it,
do'!*r for dollar, than meat or esgs
or most other vegetables. it's
good to eat; how good you
don't knwo until you've had corn
bread properly cooked. Best of all
it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
CORN'S INFINITE VARIETY —
How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is?
About the many delicious ways of
cooking it? And what you miss
t-y not knowing more about it?
Here are a few of its uses?
CORN DODGER
2 cups corn m?al
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fat
cups soiling water.
Pour the l>oiling water over the
r'hPr materials. Bsat well. When
coo' form into thin cakes and bake
30 minutes in a hot oven. Make
14 biscuits. These crisp little
biscu.ts are good with butter or

LEAD THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Common S:nsc Points tha Way te
Reaching a Ripe Old Age.
It is astonishing how many old peo
ple there are In almost every com
munity iu New Enj-'laud. Every day
there is recorded in the press the past
ing of some one who has reached the
nineties, and quite frequently there is
mention of a centenarian. These peo
ple, geuerally speaking, die in the
niral districts, but the cities are not
without a group of them.
These events indicate that there la
no necessity for any one who takes
proi>er care of himself to fall to reach
old age. Longevity is merely a matter
of caring for oneself uud keeping in
a cheerful frame of mind. An Impor
tant factor also in long life la to In
dulge in some occupation, if ouly for a
few hours daily, iri order tliat the mind
and body shall have normal exercise.
Drones seldom live long.
It is noteworthy iu all the Interviews
which visitors have with the very aged
that the latter invariably explain that
they attribute their longevity to lead
ing the simple life. They eat sparingly
of the most nourishing food that agrees
with them, are temperate In the use of
all liquids, obtain I lenty of sleep. In
dulge daily iu very light exercise and
do not worry.
Whoever follows these simple rules
can count on living about as long as he
or she desires.—Boston Globe.
OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Rules That Army Man Muit Always
Obey When It Is Playad.
In view of the fact that many per
sons appear doubtful as to proper ac
tion wheu "The Star Spangled Banner"
is played the army regulations, apply
ing to members «>f the army only, are
here presented:
Paragraph 378.—Whenever the na
tional anthem is played at tiny place
where persons belonging to the mili
tary service are present all officers and
enlisted m a not !:t formation shall
stand at attention and face toward the
music. except retreat, when they shall
face toward the Hag. If in uniform,
covered or uncovered, or In civilian
clothes, covered or uncovered, they
shall salute at tlu^first note of the an
them. retaining the position of salute
until the last note of the anthem.
"If not in uniform, covered, they
shall uncover at the tlrst note of the
anthem, holding the headdress oppo
site the left shoulder, and so remain
until its close, except that in inclement
weather the headdress may he held
slightly raised.
"When played by any array band
the national anthem shall be played
through without repetition of any part
not required to l e repeated to make it
complete.
"Paragraph -iU.-The playing of the
national anthem of any country as part
of a medley is prohibited."
No Parallel In Nature.
The wise men say there are no paral
lels in nature, that no one thing in
the wide universe exactly mares and
matches any other one thing, that each
cloud has differed from every other
cloud f«.-rm In any Hour of the day and
night or day or yesterday, and so on
back through the forgotten centuries,
and no two leaves In form, color or
texture liit the .s.inie faces to the sun
on any day of the millions of years;
that no wave on any beach curves and
falls as any wave has cr.rvcJ and fal
len before, n ■: since this planet cooled.

HERO OF GREAT EXPLOIT
A tale of daring that Is rarely
equalled is told of an exploit of Sergt.
G. Morlnl of the Italian Bersagllerl.
While on patrol he stopped a German
motorcar carrying General von Berrer,
an adjutant and two chauffeurs. He
killed the general with the first shot
and put the soldier-chauffeurs to flight.
Tha adjutant, a German captain, he
captured after a struggle, aud turned
him over to the nearest Italian com
mand, and then Joined his cycle patrol
for further rear-guard action. He was
wounded later and sent to a hospital
in Milan. His most extraordinary and
daring feat took place at the gates of
Udlne during the Italian retreat to the
Piave.
Fool Economy.
Governor Bilbo said at a food econ
jmy meeting In Jackson:
"But let us have no fool economy,
no miser economy of the Smithson
kind.
"The Smithsons were a miserly old
pair, and one duy Smithson said timid
ly to his wife:
" 'I've a haukerin' for an orange. 1
think I'll go down in the orange grove
and pluck a few fruit."
"Yes, but don't you pluck no sound
fruit. Si,' shrilled Mrs. Smithson.
•Only bad ones, mind!'
" 'But suppose there ain't no bad
ones, mother?'
"'Then you'll have to wait till some
goes bad, that's all. We can't afford
to eat good, sound oranges worth i
qunrter a dozen.'"

WHEN EVERY
MOVE HURTS
L/ame ©very morning, achy and
stiff all day, worse when it's damp
or chilly? Suspect your kidneys
and try the remedy that thousands
ha-ye used and recommended.
Mrs. Elian F. Jonea, 1517 E.
Fourth Ave., Spokane, Wa^h., says:
"The first sign I havte had of auythi
l>ein.' wrong with my kidneys was
a cur nin«j years ago. My kid
neys acted much too often, and blad
der trouble kept me miserable. In,
otbf r ways my kidneys showed they
weren't doing their work properly.
Mv back was so painful 1 could
hardly bear the misery and my
sio' t was affected, too. 1 got bo
I couldn't walk across the floor
to get a drink of water. Three
boxes of D&an's Kidney; Pills en
tirely cured me and I felt strong
and well." (Statement given Oc
tober 18, 1915.).
HASN'T SUFFERED SINCE.
On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Jones said:
"I have felt like a different wo
man since Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ed me and my kidneys have been In
fine condition."
