CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our heartfelt
thanks to our friends and neighbors
for their many acts of kindness shown
us in our recent bereavement. We
especially appreciate the kindness
shown us by the citizens of Locust
Grove and Hampton.
J. J. Hammond and children.
Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Swint,
Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Hendrick.
Mr. and Mrs. W. F Williams,
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Akin,
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Croxwell,
Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Wilson.
Georgia is the pivotal state in
southern agriculture. The nation is
looking to Georgia to feed her popu
lation and raise a surplus to sell the
rest of the world. This a great op
portunity for our farmers to show
their mettle.
The test is on—does German autoc
racy breed better men than American
democracy?

FOOD FACTS
PREPARED BY
The Federal Food Admin
istration For Georgia
More American Corn Being Used.
Interesting information just receiv
ed by Dr. A. M. Soule, through Wash
ington, from the foodstuffs reports
from abroad, is that there is now a
constantly increasing use of American
corn for food abroad.
England and France knew compar
atively nothing of the human food
value of "maize” before the war and,
until recently, had begun to learn but
slowly how and when and why to use
it. The people of those countries,
though, are finding its place in the
every-day diet and in the course of
time there will be more and more call
for corn as that knowledge becomes
more widespread.
This is but one more of the many
reasons why the South, and particu
larly Georgia, must give better atten
tion to a larger production of corn
than has been in the past years.
Reducing City Flour Quantities.
Froiy the office of the Federal Food
Administration for Georgia there is
now going out a request to all retail
merchants that they increase their ef
forts to bring about a still further con
servation of flour among their patrons.
They are asked not, only to hold their
sales to 24 and 48 pound packages, but
to use their influence with customers
to take the 24-pound package when
they call for 48, and try to get through
with that. In the same request is the
further plea that they get in behind
the conservation of sugar and adhere
to tin- 5 and 10 pound packages, and
do all they can to pursuade individual
purchases to come under 10 pounds at
a time.
Back Up the Card System.
Some localities in the state are
making report to Federal Food Admin
istrator Andrew M. Soule that the spir
it and letter of fairness of the flour
card system is not being properly ob
serv< and. Cases in complaint are that
there is a practice to some extent of
trying to double up by securing more
than one card in the specified time
and thereby accumulating more than
a fair and equitable amount of flour.
The system was especially designed
to aid the people in the country dis
tricts and, in the main, they are ac
cepting it in that spirit and co-oper
ating in its operation, but there is a
scattered disinclination to “tote fair.”
Each county administrator has been
advised by Dr. Soule to require a week
ly report made of every card issued,
that, these reports be checked and
where ‘it is found that any person
is trying to evade the law by obtain
ing cards from more than one coun
ly administrator or representative of
a county administrator in one month
he be promptly reported to this office
that his case may be vigorously han
dled,”
Want More Wheat And Sugar.
Further warning has come to the
office of the Food Administration for
Georgia that there is need for more
saving in both flour and sugar.
To date the export of wheat to the
allies in the war country is 82,000 tons
behind the agreed-on program of ship
ment, and the deficit isn’t diminishing.
For two months this country has been
hearing from abroad that seriousness
of the army food situation is increas
ing and will continue to increase until
the United States can put the necessi
ties “over there” in sufficient quantity
to meet actual demands.
Milled flour can't be shipped from
this country in large quantities because
of the activity of the germ after it is
m'lled; therefore, in order that there
will be no loss, the wheat must be
shipped and milled after arrival. That
does not mean, however, that the pro
portion of wheat flour and substitutes
for wheat in the mixing of the flour
is any less in France o’- England or on
the war fronts than we are Asked to
observe In fact, the substitution is
somewhat greater, and has been in
practice for a considerably longer time.
Sugar is again an Increasing need.
Conservation of it must be remember
ed and practiced in the home and in
the making of pas-tries and tarts for
the market.
Let Potatoes "Bave the Wheat.”
“The best thing we can offer to the
public to help the country SAVE THE
WHEAT Is potatoes.” so runs an ad
vertisement of a dealer. It Is a good
“ad” and interprets today’s needs.
Potatoes are universally liked. There
is still a large supply on hand in
Georgia that must be used or go to
waste. Now is the time to use them
while the ban on meat is lifted for a
while. Hack up savory stews with am
pie servings of potatoes and cut down
on bread.
Potatoes are an acceptable substitute
for bread. A pound of baked potatoes
is e inal in nutritive value to seven
ounces of bread. Join the “Wheat
Pavers' League.” Use the perishable
potato as a wheat and as a bread sub
stitute.
In the present food crisis all cerea's
are precious; they wil 1 keep and the
potatoes won't. As an emergency meas
ure increase the use of note toes

Mr. Thorpe Smith and his mother,
of Atlanta, are guests of Mr. and
Mrs. T. G. Willis.
The condition of Colonel John W.
Moore, of Atlanta, who has been se
riously sick, is reported somewhat
improved.
“PLEASE MR. PRESIDENT,
TURN ME LOOSE!”
Judge Henry C. Hammond has in
his possession, a letter written by a
Burke county (Ga.) negro to Presi
dent Wilson asking that he be ex
cused from army duty. The epistle is
interesting from several points of
view. The negro’s “poor spelling” is
one of the features that is rather re
freshing while his manner of expres
sion is just as interesting.
The letter to the presiident was
written after the negro had been ex
amined and accepted by the exemp
tion board and his application for ex
emption had been denied by the dis
trict board at Macon. Judge Ham
mond has the original lette rwhich
bears the White House stamp, show
ing that it reached the capital. The
President’s secretary turned the let
ter over to Provost Marshal General
Crowder, who in turn sent it to the
Adjutant General of Georgia, and he
sent it to Sheriff Sam G. Story, of
Burke county. The sheriff presented
the letter to Judge Hammond while
Burke county court was in session.
He thought it so interesting that he
interrupted the court proceedure
long enough to read it aloud. The let
ter, just as the negro wrote it, reads
as follows:
Mr. W. Wilson Dear Mister presi

How Bad Backs Have Been Made
Strong—Kidney Ills Corrected
All over Jackson you hear it.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are keeping up
the good work. Jackson people are
telling about it—telling of bad backs
made sound again. You can believe
the testimony of your own towns
people. They tell it for the benefit of
you who are suffering. If your back
aches, if you feel lame, sore and
miserable, if the kidneys act too fre
quently, use Doan’s Kidney Pills, the
remedy that has helped so many of
your friends and neighbors. Follow
this Jackson woman’s advice and
give Doan’s a chance to do the same
for you.
Mrs. W. T. Burk, Oak St., Jackson,
says: “My kidneys had always been
weak and my back ached. I was sore
and lame and the least move sent
pains all through my body. My sight
became blurred and little, black ob
jects floated before my eyes. I could
hardly stand at times on account of
dizziness. My kidneys acted irregu
larly. Kidney Pills cured me of all
signs of kidney trouble and I h& ve
had no return of it.” {
