NATION'S BIG BANK
ON FOOD QUESTION
The following -Tetter has been sent
rut by the National City Bank of New
York, one of the strongest financial
institutions in the world with a capi

• To Our Correspondent Banks and the
Public:
"In our Monthly Bulletin we have
repeatedly pressed upon public atten
tion the gravity of the situation which
now confronts the world in the scar
city of food supplies, but we would
not feel that we had done our duty
if we did not utter a final word of
warning and of appeal upon the sub
ject. The situation grows more serious
as spring advances and the disaster to
the winter wheat crop of this country
Js understood.
“All of Europe—neutral as well as
warring countries —has been placed
AN EASY WAY TO REDUCE FLESH
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco
Haven’t you often wished for a medi
cine to reduce your flesh? Something
that does not require dieting or calis
thenics? Well, right here you have it
in 5-grain tassco tablets, which you
may secure at any good druggist. They
are pleasant to take, perfectly harm
less and cause no restrictions of habit
or eating, and reduce the flesh, little
by little, until you are down to the
number of pounds you wish to weigh.
Too much flesh is undesirable, as most
quite stout peoplle will readily admit,
and it detracts from one’s good ap
pearance; makes one clumsy and short
of breath.
There Isn’t any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there’s this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory rem
edy at any good druggist. Tassco tab
lets (don’t forget the name) are rec
ommended by physicians and are guar
anteed to be perfectly harmless. Re
fuse substitutes, if you can not come
to our ktore, we will mail tassco to
you.

Enduring. Ccrtain-teed is a name which has
come thru the storm of business competition strong
er than ever. It stands for quality, dependability,
satisfaction and fair dealing. On the reputation of
this name there bas been built the world’s largest
manufacturer of roofing and building papers.
Certain-teed Certain-teed
Roofing
is the most efficient type of roof
for factories, office buildings,
farm buildings, garages, etc.
It costs less to buy, less to lay
and less per year of life than
other types of roofing. It does
not rust, is proof against gases,
coal smoke, acids, fumes, etc.
It is a non-conductor of heat
and cold, is fire retardant and
weather-proof.
The rost of laying prepared
roofings is the same whether
you use good materials or poor.
Therefore, it pays to get
CERTAIN-TEED, which is
the best. It is guaranteed for
5, 10 or 15 years according to
thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply), and
it will remain efficient long after
the time when apoor quality roof
would have had to be relaid.
For residences, CERTAIN-TEED
Slate Surfaced Asphalt Shingles have
all the advantages of CERTAIN
TEED Roofing, plus artistic beauty.
Theyneedno paint, are pliable,elim-
inate waste and misfits, can
not curl, buckle, rot or crack.
Guaranteed for ten years.

upon food rations to eke out supples
until the new crup L harvested. Tais
country entered the present crop vear
last July with 164.000,0Q0 bushels of
wheat carried over from the crop of
1915, and in 191 G produced 482,000.00>
bushels of winter wheat and 158,000,-'
000 of spring wheat; total simply,
804,000,00#. This year there will be
practically no wheat carried over and
the government’s estimate upon the
winter crop forecasts a yield of only
4?)0.000,000. On this basis the spring
wheat crop must be 214,000,000 bush
els larger than last year in order to
give us a wheal supply equal to what
we will export and consume in the
crop year now ch sing. This is an
alarming outlook. The spring wiieat
crop is notoriously subject to weather
conditions. More spring wheat should
bo sown, but it is doubtful if the
wheat shortage cun be made up. Oth
er food crops must be grown to meet
the deficiency.
•‘This country is now at war, and
our Allies, Belgium, Great Biitain,
France and Italy are dependent upon
us for food. They will have no re
serves and must have more from us
in the coming year than in the past,
or they will not be able to feed all
tluir people. Added to the appeals of
starving humanity will be military
teasons making it impassible for us
to put an embargo upon the exporta
tion of food. We must divide what we
grow this year with these countries,
and with the ueutral countries —Hol-
land, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland and Spain—which are not
self-sustaining in grain supplies. And
not only must we supply enough to
keep these peoples from starving, but
enough to cover the heavy losses at
sea which result from the submarine
warfare. If we grow no more food
than we did last year—and so far the
outlood is for less—there is danger
of a food situation such as the world
ir modern times, has not dreamed of.
No other country has the resources
in land and population to meet this
emergency but the United States.
There is no business upon which alf
other business depends as upon this
of grow ing a big crop in America# this
year. And the work must be ■ -farted
immediately. There is no time to wait
on organization from outside. The
emergency can be met only by spon
taneous action in every state, county
and school district, forming local or
ganizations.

Paints and Varnishes
are good, reliable products made
by experienced paint men who
know how to make good paints
and varnishes.
These men have at their com
mantfairthe machinery, equip
ment, materials and resources
necessary to manufacture good
paints and varnishes econom
ically. They also have at their
disposal the extensive selling
organization and warehouse
system of the Certain-teed Pro
ducts Corporation, which ma
terially reduces the cost of dis
tributing and marketing.
The result is that CERTAIN-
T EED Paints and Varnishes
are high grade products, sold at
lower prices than you would
expect to pay for good paints
and varnishes.
We guarantee CERTAIN-TEED
Paints and Varnishes to give satis

painting or hire a professional painter
you will find it to your interest to see
that you get CERTAIN

a;.d dearer than they are now ! It must
be impressed up n everybody that no
wage advances or regulation of prices
e.rb ad 1 one bushel of wheat cr peta
toes to the supply after ihe growing
season is over.
This country is t roused, but mere
alarm will not accomplish results.
There must be organized personal
work, headed in every locality by men
of force ami influence.
“Th& governor of lowa has called
for the enlistment of boys from 13 to
18 to work either in town gardens or
upon the farms. President Wilson says
that these boys will be “Soldiers of
the Commissar*.” There fine pos
sibilities in this idea. The boys may
be brought to feel that they are serv
ing their country as truly as their old
er brothers who enlist in army or
navy; and the girls should have a
chance as well. They should have a
medal to keep as life-long evidence of
service 1 w?t
le’t us hope —of the world’s history.
“Some of our correspondent banks
are arranging for garden plots for all
their clerks. Industrial employers are
doing likewise, and will provide seeds
and instruction. Organized work of
this kind with suitable supervision
will be most effective. Every employer
in your locality should be waited upon
by a committee, and invited to co-op
erate in this manner.
“Although it Is of course desirable
to increase the farm crops, ami es
pecially the spring wheat crop, it may
be that the best chance-to increase
the food supply is by the intensive
cultivation of garden tracts in and ad
jacent to towns, where labor addition
al to the regular farm supply can be
secured for growing potatoes, beans,
onions, etc. Each community is able
to go ahead upon this work without
help from outside. The aggregate re
sult will depend upon the efficiency of
the local organiaztions.
“We take the liberty of addressing
not only our own bank correspondents,
but all bankers, believing that they
will be quick to recognize the gravity
of the situation, and that their rela
tions with the business community
are such as to enable them to secure
general co-operation. We would ap
preciate advice as to what is being
done in your locality. _

HIPPLE ORCHESTRA WILL
RENDER PATRIOTIC AIRS.
Those who have never had the
thrill that comes with hearing the
national air played on bells will ex
perience that pleasant sensation dur
ing Ijiucoin Chautauqua week when
the Hippie Orchestra entertainers of
fer their musical program. The Hip
pies have won fame for their splen
did playing-on many instruments, and
those who go to their entertainment
will be impressed with their versatil
ity. Earl Hippie is known from coast
to coast as a past master at playing
the xylophone—the wonderful instru
ment from which is pounded out music
of wonderful charm and appeal. Mr.
Hippie also plays on bells, ringing out
melodies which find new r qualities in
the mellow echoes of the golden tinkle
and clang of the specially constructed
bells which respond to ibis touch.
Another popular member of the
company is John Elder. While he has
not been before the public many sea
sons, John Elder’s name has become

ceded him to this city, assuring him of
a responsive audience.
Stringed instruments, the woods and
brass* sand other iuelody-making parts
o the orchestra are used by the Hip
pie company, which is made up of mu
sicians of note. The Hippie program
has been described as “snappy and
novel,” and well balanced enough to
satisfy the musical taste of everyone.
The Lincoln Chautauqua will have
* many other high class features during
the week. On the same day with the
J Hippie orchestra will appear Honor
, able Ralph Parlette, noted lecturer, of
1 Chicago, In his famous address, “The
University of Hard Knocks.” Other
! noted public men who will appear are
! Harold Morton Kramer, Dr. Robert
Perry Shepherd, Lincoln McConnell,
j E L. Eaton, and others.
[‘DIXIE” WILL STIR
LOCAL AUDIENCES.
When the famous Brooks concert
: band strikes up the stirring air of
j “Dixie” at the Chautauqua tent during
its engagement here, it will be. very
; doubtful whether the big canvas'audi
[ torium will be strong enough to hold
I the enthusiasm which will be shown
I-by local citizens. There has never
j been a time when the good old tune
j did not provoke an outburst of ap
| plause wherever it has been played,
1 and this is especially so in this sec
: tion, where the song is loved for the
I sentiment attached to it. That is why
i the Lincoln Chautauqua tent may not
j bt strong enough to hold the demon
; stration when the Brooks concert band
: plays, because this noted musical or
animation has the reputation of play
ing the grand old tune as it has never
been played before. Musical critics and
I laymen who have enjoyed the Brooks
: band concerts says that there seems
! to be something about Brooks’ “Dixie”
! that enriches the sentiment and stirs
the very soul, arousing national pride
i and crating a noble sense of patrio
j tisrn and loyalty to country. While all
j this is true of “Dixie” played by any-
I body, it is said that the Brooks band
! has created a sensation with their
wonderful rendition of the air,, espec
ially since the nation entered the
great war.
The Brooks concert band will be a
handsomely uniformed organization,
and the programs will be varied, rang
ing from rag-time to grand opera, with
liberal patriotic numbers and novel
ties to please all. The Lincoln chau
tauquas are doing their Southern cir
cuits a real favor by presenting the
noted band on their regular programs.
Solos, duets and other especially en
joyable numbers will b,e featured in
addition to the concert selections. The
organization appears as an imposing
band in the afternoon, and as a com
plete orchestra in the evening.
There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other disease* put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. for a great uiany years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu
tional cure on the market. It Is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one ■hundred dollars for
any case It fails to cure. Scud for circulars and
