n* carnal consumption ot sugar
In tba United States is about SO
pounds per capita. We are nov asked
to use onljr an ounoa and a bait
per day, or three pounds per month.
Tbs normal consumption of meat Is:
Beet, 82.5 pounds; mutton, 7 pounds;
pork, 108.6 pounds; other meats, .3
pound; or a total ot 193.6 pounds per
capita per annum. We are asked to
out down .the consumption of meat by
a minimum ot one ounoe per day. We
eculd probably cut down our consump
tion by a Quarter ot a pound per day
sad still not miss it, thereby saying an
abundance tor our allies abroad.
Of tats we eat 3.42 ounoes a day.
We are asked to cut this down to
about 11 ounces per week.
Of wheat and wheat flour products
ww normally eat about 18 pounds a
month per capita. We are asked to
reduoe the consumption pour to 8
pounds per capita per month.
Ot corn we normally eat about 3.5
pounds a week. We are not asked to
restrict ourselves in the use ot this
cereal In any particular. In toot, we
are asked to eat larger quantities ot
corn in order that we may materially
reduoe the consumption ot wheat flour
to a positive minimum.
Why is a $10 Bill Valuable?
Only because the United States Govern
ment has promised to “pay-on-demand” $10 in
fcold to the “bearer.” That promise is backed
by the whole wealth of the country. Knowing
the Government can keep its promise, you do
not hesitate to accept a $10 bill in payment for
products or service rendered. The same prom
ise that is behind your $10 bill is behind every
LIBERTY BOND
There is but one difference: Your bill does
NOT draw interest; Liberty bonds do. Both
are backed by the same security. As lonfc as
the Government can pay “on demand” the ten
dollars in fcold represented by your bill, its
promise on the Liberty Bond will be kept.
It is to your advantage to exchange your
dollars for Bonds. You simply fcive your bank
er your check and the Government sends you
the interest on the date it is due. Your money
then is used to buy supplies from you and your
neighbors for the men who are protecting you
from oppression by the German nobility.
Save 21,000,000 Bushels
There la no shortage ot potatoes,
corn and oats; the milk supply is not
pinched, spring gardening will supply
much tor our tables. But W6 must,
a nation, save 21,000,000 bushels of
wheat to feed the armies. Not wheth-
we want to or not—we MUST.
Every American Is urged to cut bis
average ration of wheat by 60 per
cent, which would reduce the total'
normal consumption ot 42,000,000
bushels a month to 21,000,000 bushels.
That gives a ration ot not more than
Itt pounds wheat product weekly
tor each person. Flour sales will be
cut to one-eighth ot a barrel for a
town customer and to onoQuarter of
a barrel to a country customer, that
retailers’ stocks may be distributed
to as great a number as possible.
The wheat contents of bakers' bread
will be reduced to 75 per cent on
April 14, which Increases by 6 per
cent the amount ot substitutes that
must bo saved.

the desert by Alamo Sam and Mourn

ranch, where he caught on as a cow

He told them his name was Smith,
nothing more, but they guessed by
the haunting fear in his eyes that
there was a past which might explain
many things if known. And in that
country where a man was judged
face value he was dubbed “The
Strange Weakling," because he
rented neither insult nor blow.

Pattern
The Chevrolet valve-in-head motor is the direct-ap-
plication-of-power type. Gasoline vapor is introduced
directly into tho cylinder head and is exploded flatly
against the piston head, just like a hammer striking .a
pail squarely on the head.
Every bit of power from the explosion is utilized to
turn the flywheel—there is absolutely no waste.
In all triher types at motors the gasoline is introduce^,
into a side chamber, where it is exploded. The force
travels "around the corner" to the Biston head and a
loss in power results.
And every Chevrolet is valve-in-head powered. The
“Four Ninety” Roadster at $670, Touring at $685, Se
dan and Coupe at $1060. And also the “F-A” model
Baby Grand Touring and Boyal Mail Roadster at $935.
Every Chevrolet is completely equipped. Prices f. o. k.
Flint, Mich. ,
Write or call for a copy of the booklet; “Squtirely On
the Head." It tells all about the valve-in-head motor
and its use in motor cars, aeroplanes and submarines.
