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 ta! of |25,0l)0,000 and surplus oi 534,000,000: April 10, 1917. • 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. —soc BOX FREE FREE TASSCO COUPON THE TASSCO CO. Boston, Mass.

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.

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. “Picture in your mind what condi tions will be in our own cities next winter, and of the effect upon all in 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.

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. _ “Respectfully, THE NATIONAL CITY BANK OF NEW YORK.” * 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 P \ "When die temperature is high I - j and you re feeling hot and dry—2 I p'lgg I Chero-Cola _ f W . \ a bottle—Through a straw ” I COOLING AND MfJ ■W .

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.
