The Wonderful Record of Dr.

that time to the present it has grown
in the confidence and estimation of its
yearly increasing number of users.
Through all these years it has steadily
grown in popular favor.
Its wonderful building up power is
shown in the experience of Mrs. C. E.
Chadwick, Seale, Ala. “I was all run
down in health,” she says. “Weighed
only 104 J pounds and getting worse
every day. I began the use of Dr.
Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup and
today, lam thankful to say, I am in
r;rfect health and weigh 155 pounds.

of that most wonderful medicine. I
firmly believe there are numerous suf
fering people that could be sound and
well by the use of Dr. Thacher’s Liver
and Blood Syrup.”

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Self-
Denial at Home Table.
AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.
Since the ndvent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July 1
and October 10 we shipped 65,980,305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237,500,000 bushels of wheat and
flour in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa
tion of hostilities we are able to re
turn to a normal wheat diet Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces
sible markets may be lapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the com
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour mov
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine—and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 50,000,000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home —by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional 75,-
000,000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo
ple was 85,000,000 bushels safely deliv
ered overseas between January 1 and
July 1. Out of a harvest which gave
us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,000.000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
year’s figures will be bettered.
Our exports since . is country
entered the war have justified a
statement made by the Food Ad
ministration shortly after its con
ception, outlining the principles
and policies that would govern
the solution of this country’s
food problems.
“The whole foundation of de
mocracy,” declared the Food Ad
ministration, “lies in the indi
vidual initiative of its people
and their willingness to serve the
interests of the nation with com
plete self effacement In the time
of emergency. Democracy can
yield to discipline, and we can
solve thls food problem for our
own people and for the Allies in
this way. To have done so will
have been a greater service than
our immediate objective, for we
have demonstrated the rightful
ness of our faith and our ability
to defend ourselves without be
ing Prussianized.”
Sending to Europe 141,000,000 bush
els of wheat from a surplus of appar
ently nothing was the outstanding ex
ploit of the American food army in the
critical year of the war.
GREATEST OPPORTUNITY
WOMEN EVER HAD.
It was given to the women of this
country to perform the greatest serv
ice in the winning of the war vouch
safed to any women in the history of
the wars of the world —to feed the
warriors and the war sufferers. By
the arts of peace, the practice of sim
ple, homely virtues the womanhood of
a whole nation served humanity in its
profoundest struggle for peace and
freedom.
HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA
MUST INCREASE
FOODJXPORTS
America Called on by End of
War to Supply Added
Millions.
ECONOMY STILL NEEDED.
Over Three Times Pre-War Shipment*
Required—Situation in Wheat and
Fats Proves Government’s
Policy Sound.
With the guns In Europe silenced,
we have now to consider a new world
food situation. But there can be no
hope that the volume of our exports
can be lightened to the slightest de
gree with the cessation of hostilities.
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian yoke are now depending
upon us for the food which will keep
them from starvation.
With food the United States made
It possible for the forces of democ
racy to hold out to victory. To insure
democracy in the world, we must con
tinue to live simply in order that we
may supply these liberated nations of
Europe with food. Hunger among a
people inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for democ
racy.
Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of
food to Europe. For the present year,
with only the European Allies to feed,
we had originally pledged ourselves to
a program that would have increased
our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
have to export a total of not less than
20,000,000 tons —practically the limit
of loading capacity at our ports. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
find that some foods will be obtainable
in quantities sufficient to meet all
world needs under a regime of eco
nomical consumption. On the other
hand, there will be marked world
shortages In some Important commodi
ties.
Return to Normal Bread Loaf.
With the enlarged wheat crops
which American farmers have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentine and other markets now acces
sible to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nations to
return to their normal wheat loaf,
provided we continue to mill flour at
a high percentage of extraction and
maintain economy in eating and the
avoidance of waste.
In fats there will be a heavy short
age about 3,000,000,000 pounds —in
pork products, dairy products and
vegetable oils. While there will be a
shortage of about three million tons
in rich protein feeds for dairy ani
mals, there will be sufficient supplies
of other feedstuff's to allow economical
consumption.
In the matter of beef, the world's
supplies are limited to the capacity of
the available refrigerating ships. The
supplies of beef In Australia, the Ar
gentine and the United States are suf
ficient to load these ships. There will
be a shortage in the importing coun
tries, but we cannot hope to expand
exports materially for the next months
in view of the bottle neck in trans
portation.
We will have a sufficient supply of
sugar to allow normal consumption in
this country if the other nations re
tain their present short rations or In
crease them only slightly. For the
countries of Europe, however, to in
crease their present rations to a ma
terial extent will necessitate our shar
ing a part of our own supplies with
them.
Twenty Million Tons of Food.
Of the world total, North America
will furnish more than 60 per cent
The United States, including the West
Indies, will be called upon to furnish
20,000,000 tons of food of all kinds as
compared with our pre-war exports of
about 6,000,000 tons.
While we will be able to change our
program in many respects, even a
casual survey of the world supplies
in comparison to world demands shows
conclusively that Europe will know
famine unless the American people
bring their home consumption down
to the barest minimum that will main
tain health and strength.
There are conditions of famine in
Europe that will be beyond our power
to remedy. There are 40,000,000 peo
ple In North Russia whom there is
small chance of reaching with food
this winter. Their transportation Is
demoralized in complete anarchy, and
shortly many of their ports will be
frozen, even If internal transport
could be realized.
