DANGER_0F FAMINE
(From Kara' Life.)
lfaybe you’ve seen that expression
before.. It Is taken from a state *
.made not long ago by Lord Rho|
"the British food controller. It gives
a graphic picture of the food shortage,
in Mat; as Lord Rhondda says:
“The food wanted by mankind does

ebough’for'the situation.
"To put the matter bluntly, - the
whole world Is up against a nasty
thing, fsmlllar to the people of India,
called Famine.”
It -is a good thing for us to
that melancholy statement soak into
our consciousness. Then we’ll do
what we can, every one of us, to save
the World from famine.
Some folks say that they are tired
of healing about "starvation" and
"food shortage," and similar unpleas
ant things.
they reflect la lit

EAT THIS BIG CROP
“Eat more Dotatoeto*
With that slogan the Food Admin
istration has inaugurated a national
campaign to encourage the free mar
keting and consumption of potatoes.
It has enlisted the cooperation of all
agencies of the potato trade, state
and local authorities, various organi
zations, and the press. During the
next few months . tbe great potato
crop of America will be moved from
producing centers to points of con
sumption as rapidly as the public will
consume the delectable “spuds.”
There are two. great reasons tor do
ing ‘this: •
(1) American growers in 1917 pro
duced a great crop which In large part
Is unmarketed on the coming of
spring. Bad weather conditions was
the cause; but if this crop is not con
sumed rapidly and in larger propor
tion to other foods than is customary,
millions of bushels of potatoes will
not be sold before the next harvest
Such a calamity could not fall to dis
courage potato growers who a year
ago responded to the appeal of the
country to be patriotic and increase
* cd production.
(1). By eating plenty of potatoes,
Americans can lower materially their
consumption of wheat products and
thus comply with the urgent request
of the Food Administration to cut
the national consumption of wheat
products by 10%.

When you pick up your newspaper and rend of the daring ex
ploits of the aviators on the battlefield, don’t you often wonder
what sort of nn engine it is that makes it possible for the uirplanes
to do such wonderful stunts?
When you read about the submarines, doesn't it occur to you
that they must be exceptionally powered?
And when you sit absorbed in an account of a big motor-car
race meet, doesn’t it seem that there is no limit to what a good
gasoline engine can do?
The engine that gives the airplano the speed and flexibility of
a bird; the submarine its wonderful going power; and the racing-
car its rush-like speed of the wind, is built on the simplest princi
ple of power-application possible. It works just like a hammer hit
ting a nail squarely on the head. It is known as the valvc-in-head
type of motor. - , - - >
The Chevrolet Motor Company uses this type of motor in every
one of their cars; that is why the CHEVROLET has such a re
markable record, for low upkeep and mechanical efficiency.
The whole secret of this wonderful type of motor is told in •
new booklet just issued by the Chevrolet Motor Company entitled:
"Squarely on the Head.” It's the first real inside story of i the
valvc-in-hcnd motor.
If you want to know just why such remarkable feats, as yqu
read of in your daily newspaper, are possible in the airplane, sub
marine, racing-car and CHEVROLET, you can get the whole story
by devoting a few really interesting moments to reading this
booklet * - ; t ’ '
If you do that you will know also why thousands have found in
the CHEVROLET itself the answer to “Why a CHEVROLET?”

No Job Too Small For, The Blggsst
‘ Of Men r -
The American V. M. C. A. Is keep
ing Its promises. American secretaries
are now, and bare been for many
weeks, at work in tbe forward areas
along tbe battle front in-France. To
an indeterminate number of Red Tri
angle men “over there" gaa and shell-
Are and mud and actual battle are a
grim reality—a part of tbe day**
work.
A personal letter of absorbing Inter
est was lately received from Mr. Ralph
Harblson, president of the Pittsburgh
T. M. C. A. and a well known business
man of that city, who has been In
France .on a special Y. ; M. C. A Mis
sion.
The Letter
“Casualties had occurred among our.
soldiers lost before we arrived st our
Tillage," the letter reads, "and we were
ordered to get under cover of oar de
suite. After a supper of chocolate, war
bcaad, and canned beet, the ilx of us see.
rotaries were ordered to the cellar of
the 'T,' together with fifty soldiers who
happened to be in the old shell-torn
building, as the boche were beginning
again to shell the town. We took can
dles, a big basketful of canteen sup-
flies, to last us In case' we should have
0 be dug out later, overcoats and blan
kets. We fitted our gas masks on to
be sure they were working well, and
then settled down—or tried to—In the
dungeon. We expected to have to stay
nil night, but In an hour a sentry call
ed, ‘All out,’ and up we gladly went
The rest of the evening we spent ui
■tain in one of the rdbsonably who!
rooms, with piano and songs sad sto
ries and the ever-present and wonder
ful canteen, at which I took my turn.
"Needless to say. .1 slept none that
night with all the bang and noise out
side, bnt nobody does. I’m told, the
lint night The night before I got
■boat two hours of dozing with a stiff
nock, sitting up in a crowded night
train, but strange to any, I never felt
the lack of it for a minute.
"We were op the next morning at
une bonne heure, and after breakfast
at the officers’ mess Clarke and
started off for-the trenches, each of
us ladqned with about fifty pounds of
eanteen supplies besides our helmet,
gas masks, carried at all times at
■alsrt*,’ etc.
"For two hours we pursued a tor
tuous way among the various lines of
tranches and connecting trenches,
stopping frequently to dispense our
popular wares among the boys, some
repairing the trenches, tome building
new ones, some on sentry duty, some
sleeping In the dugouts, some man
ning guns and watching for German
beads.
"As we entered the front-line
trenches, we suddenly ran lpto Secre
tary Daker and accompanying officers.
1 stepped aside ns well as J dould. sa
inted and said, ‘Good morning, Mr.
Secretary.' Aa they passed 1 heard
ono of the officers say to the Socre-
tary, ’You see, Mr. Secretary, the *’Y’’
men are right up in the front-line
trenches with the boye.’
"Time was flying, and wo knew
there were still more soldiers farther
on who would be glad to seo us. Soon
we r ntered ‘No Man's Land’ by means
of a ’tench, a land which we had
aeon from the rear lines ini the dis
tance an hour earlier, all uprooted nn.1
lorn and desolate, and after some min
utes we crawled, hot and winded, Into
■’shell holo—the fuithormost listening-
poet in our lines — and found six sol
diers on tuard, all very much alert.
They gave us a warm welcome, and
wc conducted our communications in
low whlrpera. for there were three
German snipers In three different di
rections only seventy-five feet away.
“Needless to any, our gunnysacks
were empty when-tie came out We
hurried back to the sign of the Red
Triangle In the village, drank a cap
of hbt chocolate, aad started In again
in another direction.
“We watched the explosions getting
closer and closer, each cnc preceded
by the wOlrdest kind of a wall and
whine through the air, and then dor-
log a let-up we rushed across tbe open
and Into tbe dngouts In an embank
ment, wbere our second pack of. aap-
pllas disappeared.
"Two of the secretaries bad been
gassed the day before wo arrived at
this place, and one slightly wounded
by shrapnel, while others were break
ing under the physical strain and need
ed relief. I’m sure we will hear of
fatalities soon, bnt since my expert-,
once In the trenches I don't oak the
question any more — 'Is it worth
while?’ Never was such an opportun
ity given to man to serve his fellow-
men aa this.
"Pass the word on, and past
quickly, that flva hundred of the moat
capable, earnest, and blg-souled Chris
tian man are needed here today in ad
dition to the weekly stream that la
coming- We are cabling New Yolk
frequently, but they don't come. It Is
critical, and we must not fall, fori we
will nnless more and better men come
immediately.- Aa I see It, there la no
Y. M. C. A. job over here too email
for tbe biggest men In America.”

Next to the aggregate number of
subscribers perhaps the most striking
feature of the Third Liberty Loan
was the support given it by the farm
ing and rural populations of the coun
try, according to n statement by the
Treasury Department. Not only did
the farmers purchase liberally of the
bonds, but the rural communities as
a rule were more prompt in complet
ing their quotas of the loan than the
larger cities. More than 20,000
communities in the United States sub
scribed or oversubscribed their quotas,
many of them on the first day of the
campaign. ’ The majority of these
were not cities, but country districts.
Germany has found out that the
“will to win.the war” isn’t monopo
lized by the military mosters of the
Central Powers, anyway!

Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, ol
Palmer, Okla., writes:
“From the time 1 en
tered into wpmanhood
... 1 looked with dread
from one month to the
next I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, , . .
I decided to
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
“I took lour bottles,”
Airs. Jones goes on to
gay, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that 1 have
not a pain. . .
"It has now been two
years since I tookCardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer pain caused
