FOOD CARDS ARE NOW
REQUIRED IN SWEDEN
STOCKHOLM. February 2.—The
food situation in Sweden is rapidly
growing worse. Pork cards will be
introduced and the extra bread cards,
which formerly were provided for
foreign diplomats have been with
drawn, except one for each head of a
mission.
The export of foodstuff has almost
entirely stopped, with the exception
of meat, owing tQ the necessity of
slaughtering stock because of the lack
of fodder. Even meats show a large
decrease. In November last 21.2 tons
of pork were exported against 1.517
tons in November, 1916, and 151 tons
of all other meat against 972.
The statistics of Swedish imports
for the first eleven months of the past
year, whirh are now available,-demon
strate upon what short rations the
kingdom has been put The total im
ports of all rereals and flour were
143, 610 tons, against 331,187 for the
past eleven months of 1916. Coffee
imports were 8. 194 ton s against
37,413, tea 93 tons .against 480, all
kinds of animal fodder, chiefly oil
cakes. 33,602 tons against 77,272 and
hard voal 11,300,000 tons against 34.-

STORY A ROMANCE
I’oePle With Stomach, Kidney, Blood,

Relieved.
Acid Iron Mineral (non-alcoholic,
natural iron) is taken from a great
deposit found upon a poor farmer’s
place near Hickory, Mississippi and
the story of this great gift of nature’s
which made the farmer rich and the
medical world richer, and makes it
possible for people to quickly treat
stomach, digestion, kidney, blood and
rheumatic complaints at home, makes
interesting reading.
An old man while digging a mill
race on the Horn Farm, ran across it.
He was afflirted with an old fever sore
and blood troubles which w-ere con
sidered incurable. During the several
weeks digging his feet and legs were
wet each day as water gathered and
he noticed that this water turned a
reddish color caused bv mixing of
water witli the vein of peculiar look
ing mineral, almost like powder cas
ing of rock and clay.
The sore on his leg began to heal
and by the time his work was com
( pleted his leg was sound jyid well.
. This was considered so very remark

an investigation was made and it wa>

“EYES FOR THE NAVY”
NOW IN GREAT DEMAND
ALBANY, New York, February 2.
County Home Defense committees are
to be called upon to distribute 5.000
large navy posters asking people own
ing pinoculars, spyglasses and tele
scopes to send them to the United
Stales navy, where they are needed for
cbstivers on the lookout for subma
rine.
On December 5 the New York State
Defense Council Issued a bulletin ask
ing public spirited people owning good
glasses to send them to the navy de
partment, and in response to that
request many glasses have been for
warded from New York. Among the
glasses sent was a set used by Major
Hiram E. Sickles, of Kinderhook, in
three years of the Civil War, highly
treasured since then by the wife and
daughter of the major, but gladly sent
to furnish “eyes for the navy” in its
time of trial.
The United States lens factories
have not been able to keep up with the
new demand for high class spyglasses,
binoculars and telescopes, and it is
due to this fact that the government
appeals to the public for the glasses.
In going through the submarine zones
ships have to keep a sharper lookout
than heretofore, and this increased
guard means an increase in the number
eye glasses used. When the great in
crease in the number of ships in ser
vice is considered an idea of the great
need of the navy for "eyes” can be
gained.
Glasses sent to the navy and not
considered fit for service will be re
turned immediately. Those used will
be returned after the war.
