OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Na
tion’s War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
By Reducing Consumption People of
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
of Low Supplies.
The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-hulf million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country ns a whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 400.000 tons per month,
a total of 1,0!'0,000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 200,000 tons. In Au
gust only 025,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279 r
COO tons. In October the distribution
fell to 200,000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies weiv so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would he absolutely Impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre
dominantly as this reduced consump
tion of sugar. I’.y it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops wore in sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
(hat if we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
fur afield, can maintain its recent re
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump
tion.
AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.
In the light of succeeding events it
Is interesting to lecall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
Dearer and nearer to Paris.
“Even though the situation in Eu
rope may be gloomy today,” he de
clared in a public statement, “no
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every di
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
In these United States.”
LOYALTY IN LITTLE
THINGS LAST PROOF
OF PATRIOTISM
Americans without murmuring cut
their sugar allowance from four
pounds a month to three and then as
loug as need be to two pounds for loy
alty’s sake.
Food Will Win the World.
America earned the gratitude of al
lied nations during war by sharing
food. America under peace may win
the world's good wL\ by saving to
share.

* TT gives me the greatest pleasure to tes
tify that the work has been conducted
upon the broadest lines of service, not merely
to the gallant soldiers of the army of the
great Republic of the West, but to all they
could assist. The high quality of character
of those conducting this work needs no
praise, but I affirm that in my opinion it
would have been impossible to have afforded
the boys that inspiration and succor they
need—and which they so richly deserve—
without your efforts.

With corn above 50 cents hogs
eat their heads off very quickly.
The hog that takes two or three
months to get on full feed never
brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B.
A. Thomas’ Hog Medicine. Use
regularly and watch your shoats
round out into fat hogs in nine
months —hogs going well over 200
pounds and as high as 240 pounds.
Figure the average feeding and
you will see why the B. A. Thomas
medicine is a good investment.
Try feeding out your hogs on this
plan and if you are not more than
pleased, we will refund the cost
of the medicine. Henry County

Worth Attention of Women.
When you feel too tired to
work, when dark puffs appear
under your eyes, when you wake
up weary, with backache or pains
in sides and loins, when muscles
and bones ache, when you suffer
rheumatic twinges, when lumbago
puts you down, then you know
the kidneys are weakened or dis
ordered. Mrs. T. J. Bucknell,
Route 1, Hardy, Neb., writes: “I
am recovering from an attack of
lumbago, by the aid of Foley
