EVER SALAVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
It crashes into sour bile like dyna
mite, cramping and sikening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your sys
tem.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of dan
gerous calomel just remember that
your druggist sells for 50 cents a
large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone,
which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is guaran
teed to start your liver without stir
ring you up inside, and can not sali
vate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn’t gripe.

THE FOOD QUESTION AND ITS VITAL
RELATION TO THE NATION’S WELFARE
Probably the most vital material
| question before the people of this
j country today is that of the food sup
i ply for the next two or three years.
The cost of foodstuffs has reached a
j point which seriously endangers the
welfare of a very targe proportion of
I the ieople of this country, necessltat
! ing a degree of economy in food sup-
I plies on the part of millions, with no
assurance of any lessened cost for the
next year or two, which demands our
most serious study.
The suggestion of an embargo on
j foodstuffs might as well be dismissed
! from all consideration. Even if it
were feasible from every other point
of view, and it is not, it is not conceiv
able that the farmers of the country
would permit congress to pass a bill
which would deprive them of the right
to a foreign market for their products.
The grain growers of the west would
be no more willing to submit to an
embargo on the shipments of wheat
and flour and provisions than the cot
ton growers of the south would be will
ing to submit to an embargo on cot
ton.
Any serious suggestion of an em
bargo on cotton or foodstuffs for the
purpose of reducing the cost of food
stuffs and cotton to American con
sumers would meet with a storm of
protest from the producers of these
staples which no congress W’ould
stand.
Moreover, it would be unjust to the
producers.
The farmers have not been over
pi osperous as compared with other
classes. At times they have passed
through long periods of depression in
the price of cotton and grain. They
are as justly entitled from every legal
and ethical i>oint of view' to get the
most out of what they are now pro
ducing as the day laborer or the me
chanic is entitled to get the largest
amount of wages he can secure. The
economic law of supply and demand
must regulate these questions, and the
suggestions occasionally made by peo
ple who are not familiar with the sit
uation, that an embargo be placed on
all foodstuffs, cool'd not be given a
moment’s serious consideration by
congress in justice to the farmers of
the land and to all other interests. We
should, therefore, entirely dismiss the
thought of an embargo and face con
ditions as they exist and are likely to
exist.
The grain crop of the present year
was 1,100,000,000 bushels smaller than
the crop of the preceding year. The
total wheat production of this year is
estimated by the government at 607,-
577,000 bushels, as compared with
1,011,505,000 bushels in 1915, a decline
of 404,000,000 bushel®, or a 40 per cent
decrease. Moreover, the average
weight of this crop Is less than that
of last year to the extent of 6.1 pounds
per measured bushel, which it is es
timated makes a further reduction of
60,000,000 bushels, giving us, there
fore, a net crop, measured by pounds,
of 547,000,000 bushels, against 1,011,-
000,000 bushels last year.
This alone would justify an advance
in the price of wheat much larger than
this 45 per cent of decrease In quan
tity.
The wheat crop of Canada is offic
ially estimated at 159,123,000 bushels,
as compared with 370,303,000 bushels
in 1915, and owing to the inability to
thresh this grain promptly, by reason
of the scarcity of labor, a considerable
proportion of that may be lost.
These two countries last year pro
duced 1,361,000,000 bushels of wheat.
This year, using the estimate of bush
els as counted by weight of 547,000,000
bushels for the United States, the two
countries have produced 706,000,000
bushels, or a decline of 675,000,000
bushels compared with 1915.
This would have been a disaster of
the greatest significance even if other
grain crops had been abundant; but,
as already stated, the total decline in
grain production in the Undted States
alone was 1,100,000,000 bushels com
pared with 1915.
Europe’s demand upon this country
and Canada for wheat will take a very
considerable proportion of the supplies
of both countries, and probably at a
steadily advancing prices. The phe
nomenal activity in the manufactur
ing interests of the country makes a
larger demand for foodstuffs than in
periods of depresison. We, therefore,
face the situation of Europe’s heavy
demand upon us for food and our own
increasing consumptive requirements
in conjunction with a decrease in sup
ply of alarming extent.
Before the next grain crop is pro
duced the country in aW probability
will be swept absolutely bare of wheat
and corn and other grains. We shall,
therefore, go into the next crop sea
son under conditions that would guar
antee high prices even if we couM be
absolutely sure that the crop of 1917
would exceed the unprecedented yield
of 1915. Therefore, under the very best
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 23, 1916,
conditions w’e cannot hope for any
material decline in the oost of grain
to the consumers of the country, and
the cost of grain will 'largely measure
the cost of all foodstuffs.
If, however, through the failure of
the farmers to sow and plant for a
very big acreage in grain, or if, by
reason of unfavorable weather condi
tions such as we had this year, we
should in 1917 have another short
crop, the country would face what
practictlly might be called a food fam
ine which could not be relieved to the
extent of bringing prices back to nor
mal conditions for several years to
come.
This situation has a vital relation
to the food supply of the country, and
thus to the nation's welfare. All the
denunciation of high prices of food
stuffs, due to a misunderstanding of
tnese conditions by those w r ho only
see the cost of living advancing with
cut appreciating the phenomenal con
ditions compelling this advance, will
be without avail in changing the eco
nomic developments which are respon
sible for these prices. The whole coun
try is seriously disturbed by the ad
vancing cost of living, especially the
cost of fdodstuffs, for that is the final
question in all problems of prices. In
dustrial developments can be cheeked
i>' price is advanced beyond the possi
bility of doing business. People can
buy fewer clothes when forced by ne
cessity to take that step. But life it
self depends upon an adequate supply
of nourishming food.
Under these conditions it is essen
tially important to the welfare of the
country that the farmers should be in
duced, because of the assurance of
these prices so profitable to them, to
put into foodstuffs every possible acre
that they can sow or plant and culti
vate. The margin of safety between a
food supply fairly equal to demands
next year and an absolute famine at
exorbitant prices is too narrow’ for
the comfort of the country to be con
sidered without serious concern.
The grain growers of the west, as
well as the livestock producers, should
be encouraged by the agricultural de
partments of the government and the
states, by business men and all oth
ers who understand this situation, to
put into w’heat this fall and into other
grains next spring the largest possi
ble acreage. Even under the best con
ditions of the chance of a bumper crop
on a bumper acreage a famine demand
would be treading close upon the heels
“Give me a package of those cigarettes that SATISFY”

CIGARETTE^.
They SATISFY!
-and yet they're
MILD
of supply, and almost actual famine
would be upon us should the yieki be
short, as it has been this year.
It is needless to say that the south
especially should give icreased atten
tion to the production of foodstuffs.
If this section should be tempted by
the high price of cotton to neglect put
ting in a large acreage in wheat this
fall and an acreage taxing cultivating
capacity next spring in other grains,
or if it should neglect to produce at
home the livestock needed for home
consumption, this year’s high price of
cotton would prove a curse instead of
a blessing. The south, like the rest
ot the country, will have to face from
now on, for the next year or two at
least, prices for foodstuffs which we
have not seen since Civil War days.
The danger is so serious that every
banker and every business man ought
to co-operate with the farmers not on
ly in encouraging them to produce
foodstuffs, but in aiding them finan
cially wherever it may be needed to
make it iossible for them to cultivate
grains and produce livestock.
Since the beginning of the war the
Manufacturers Record has been pre
senting this situation especially to the
south. It predicted that as an outcome
of the war there would be an exorbit
ant demand at high prices for food
stuffs, with a probability of a serious
shortage in the food supply of the
country,. We are now right up against
that situation. We cannot get any
early relief from it. Indeed, no relief
is in sight even if, as' stated, next
year’s crop should give us bumper
yields of grain. But tve may see these
conditions made much worse —indeed,
seriously worse—by the failure to
plant for a big grain crop or by un
favorable weather conditions during
the coming season.
No embargo on foodstuffs is feasible
or ]>ossible. No reduction in the cost
of foodstuffs is imaginable so long as
present conditions last; and distress
ing as the situation may be, and as
much deprivation in foodstuffs as may
be brought about for millions of peo
ple, there is only one possible solution
of the problem, and that is through
enlarged crops next year. That would
'only save us from famine conditions..
Large crops for several years will be
essential to bring about normal prices
for foodstuffs. It is impossible to lay
too much stress upon this matter or to
bring it too earnestly to the attention
of the whole country in order to se
cure the co-operation of business men
with farmers that a greater acreage
may be put into the production of
grain and other food supplies.
In addition to these natural condi
tions which have come about by rea
son of the world’s demand, for food
stuffs, due to the fact that tens of mil
