This comes from "Washington:

storage or destruction of food, fuel
or other necessaries of life to limit
supply or affect prices would tie a
felony under an amendment to the
government's first food bill adopted in
the senate today without a record
vote.” We are for this bill teeth and
titenniis, and hope It will pass with a
double row of teeth. Nothing can he

Oscar King Iiavis has an interesting
j article in Physical Culture for June.
He spent some time In Berlin before
our declaration of warv He says that
the decreased ration has brought a
decrease of disease among the rich—
they were eating- too much. But It
has brought an Increase of disease
among the poor. "I have no doubt,”
he says, “that there is an Improve-
ment In alertness and in general
health among many men who used to
make themselves logy and heavy and
dull by gluttony. But'neither is there
room for doubt that many of those
■who do not have the money with
•which to buy. or the time to devote
to securing, their scanty food allow-
ance In accordance with the cumber-
some relations, are suffering more
or less from the early stages of star-
vation. And their suffering becomes
Worse as the days go by. it Is cumu-
lative disease. It shows now in the
blood count where white Is replacing
red at a dangerous rate.” And Mr.
Davis asks tjils question, “Can Ger-
many be starved out?” His answer is
here given:
“Yes, I believe she is nearly starved
out now. I know some of lit-r people
are starving, and the recent strikes
among the beat fed. portion shows that
even those who have the most are
hungry. How are the other poor
devils, who have from a third to a
half getting along?
“When can she lie starved out? It
depends. I believe the German i»eo-
ple have their jaws locked on the bone
and will hang on even through terrible
agony until the crop for this year
liecome* available- If It Is a good
crop they may last, well Into the win-
ter. If It Is a poor crop they ate
liable to smash when the fact is real-
ized. The Germsh Government is
out this year to cultivate more soil
and produce more food than has ever
been done iu Germuny. it can control
most of the necessary elements. It
has the land, It lias most, If not all of
the fertilizers. It has not the labor,
but it can and will make tremendous
effort to supply that, from the men
now doing duty at the front. It has
not the seed, either in quantity or
qualify. For that some remedy may
have been found with the help of some
of its allies, or in the capture of
Roumania. —,--
“But the weather Is out of its con-
trol, and it was the weather last year
■which ruined the crops and put Ger-
many to the horrible hardship that she
has endured this past winter and is
enduring right now.”
If it be true, and all * the Indica-
tions are that way, that Germany Is
“nearly starved out now,” It should
mean an. early cessation of the war.
The people will revolt on the govern-
ment ; the Kaiser will abdlutte as did
the Czar; a republic will ensue, and
peace will follow right away. A poor
crop, according to Mr, Davis, means
an early smash of the military ma-
chine: a good crop and “they may
last well Into the winter." But the
end can’t lie far away, as Davis sees
It. And yet he may not be accounted
economics 1 worthy to ccrne Into the presence of
even the prophet Jonah.—Waco Times-
iiernld.
OKLAHOMA WOMAN
GAINED 21 POUNDS
Mrs. Sandidgr Wm Told Then- Was
No Hope for Her Recovery, Tan-
ale Puts Her on Her Feet
Again.
“I have taken three bottles of Tan-
lac and have actually gained twenty-
one pounds,” was the remarkable
statement made recently by Mrs. O.
F. Bandiilge. of Adair, Okla., In a con-
versation with 1*. C. Parker, the well
known druggist at Pryor, Okla.
"1 can'f find words.” continued
Mr*. Sandidge, “to express my grati-
tude for the wonderful work Tanias
lias done for me. Before 1 took It I
was sick, and bad been for over a year
With serious stomach trouble and other
things and while 1 took every kind of
medicine 1* (mild get hold of 1 kept
getting worse. I got so bud off 1 had to
give up uud was down in bed from last
November until Taulae got me up a
few days ago.
“I was examined three different
times and was told there was no
chance for me. 1 fell off until !•
•weighed only ninety-three pounds and
was In a dreadful condition. Every-
thing was done for me it seemed that
could be but with all that 1 was given
up to die. 1 had liegun to think my-
self that I couldn't get well, but with
all that I had to discourage me and
put me out of heart, I still had lioiic
of finding something to bring me re-
lief.
"One day I read a testimonial for
Tanlac that described my case almost
exactly and somehow I felt like it was
just the medicine 1 needed. Right
then I determined to try It but I
couldn’t get it wlfere 1 live and sent
forty miles for my first bottle. Well,
“wonderful is the only word that ex-
pcsses It. It has acted more like a
miracle than medicine and my holies
of being restored to health are realized
at last.
“In just a few days after 1 began
taking Tanlac 1 felt better. 1 began
to eat. and sleep better and could tell
I was getting stronger. My stomach
trouble and whatever else It was pull-
ing mo down Is all "gone now and I
have never had anything to be so
thunkful for. 1 now weigh, one hun-
dred and fourteen pounds, have gained
twenty-one pounds by actual weight,
and lots of people are surprises! at my
recovery. I am now a happy woman.
1 am doing all iqy housework and
praising Tanlac every day for what it
lm^ done for me.” *

You Wouldn’t know it to licar the

speaks a piece about them this year

thing about battle lines and enlist-

and concludes with "God bless our

There you sit and dream together,

And bids you come and play.

Work In perfect harmony,

WAR TALK,
Why do We talk war to everybody
we meet and neglect the greatest op-
portunity of our lives, for prosperity?
Cunadu, a nation of eight million peo-
ple sent to the front over four hundred
thousand men, a much larger propor-
tion than this country has culled with
u hundred and three million inhabi-
tants. When we get through with con-
scription we will have about two mil-
lion men under arms.
Canada, for the past two’years lia<
had more prosperity than they ever
dreamed of, and Canada Is not the
creditor nation of the world, nor does
she possess even to u slight degree
the resources of this country. Now let’s
do as Canada did, grasp the manufac-
ture. agricultural and commercial op-
portunities that are before us. The
loans to tit? allies will be siient prac-
tically all with us and will find Its
way to every class of our citizenship.
When this war ends with success to
ourselves and our allies, we will pos-
sess more money, more resources uud
word wisdom thun even the most opti-
mistic American ever thought to be
possible. So do more than you ever
did to keep this prosperity, for with-
out the sinews of war, we can mako
no fight. All the slackers In the
(world cannot stop It, hut you cam help
by enlightening those who are influen-
ced by the smaller things of life. We
have seen the result of the press on
intensive gardening, the result Is, we
have the gardens, so let’s meet the
new conditions wiht a smile on our
faces and the energy of ever-day-busl-
liess and success so essential to pros-
jertty In the factory, on the farm and
In the home. Appreciate this fact; put
it iut^ your daily life und you will be
surprised to see what you can do tow-
ard helpiug good times on tlieir way.

How
f
a groom
made Biscuits
- a
I had tried biscuits
before (when a Kan-
sas farm cDok quit)
and failed. But that
is another story.
The other day I
asked my wife to make
sour-milk biscuits.
But she didn’t know
how. (She’s a bride!)
Man-like, I said, “I’ll
show you.” I prom-
ised her real biscuits
with a crisp crust.
I took the apron off
the cupboard hook
(Report No. ii) By himtelf
and started. My wife
looked on. (I knew
what she was hoping.)
The directions said, “Take
one-third less of Cottolene
than of butter." I did. I
found that Cottolene mixed
in with the flour very quickly.
When the dough was ready,
in my clumsy way, I rolled it,
part thick and part thin. For
rny wife likes her biscuits
thick. I like mine thin with
a lot of crust—and crisp!
The oven was hot. But
I shivered near it for 20 min-
utes—waiting. My reputa-
tion hunj on crisp crust.
I am still the head of the
family. Lucky for me, those
were rfl biscuits. The
crust was rtaJly crisp. The
inside was flaky.
The Cottolene advertising
said, "Cottolene makes light
biscuits with a crisp crust."
It did—and made a reputa-
tion for me in the bargain.

And, more important, The Brunswick plays every record better. Better in this way, with a fuller
feeling, with more expression, ni.ore vibrancy hi the higher tones, a new softness of shading in the
lower tones. This Is due to the construction of the sound chamber, which is wooden-walled—made like
a violin—giving a matchless rendition free from all harsh, nasal or mechanical sounds.
This one feature alone is worth your consideration and investigation. Tone is the essential
