It's the shortage In ships that (s putting the Allies and the I United States on wheat rations. Great stocks of wheat are Isolated In India, and Auatr&lla. At great sacrifice In ship space and , use the Allies are forced to secure some wheat from Argentina. On January 1, Australia had stored 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for export?but there wero no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000,000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000 bushels watting for ships. India, at the snme time, had 70,000,000 bushels of wheat stored for export. During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last shipping season with 11,000,000 bushels of wheat left In the i stock available for export. The Dew crop will add 135,000,000 to ] the left over. It Is not a problem that the wheat dors not exist in the world?it is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of dividing our stock with the Allies. ? < wv v-Vt / v>. . 7K f7*rrtf? .XT lit Use I by One-Half i 00,000 Bushels Monthly.

"Yos, I was actually afraid to look in a mirror for fear of what I would see, and I think It Is a duty to tell about It/' said Mrs. Annie L. Marshall, of 313 LaFayette St., Schenectady, N. Y., as she began a remarkable story. "I was pale and thin and used to lie awake at night," she explained. "This sleeplessness and nervousness finally affected my throat, as I could not speak above a whispeY. The least sound frightened ine and I got so I could not bear to have people talk to me. "I was so weak I could not do my _ work, and I would have to throw i myself on the bed for rest before I * finished. I Just suffered all the time and there seemed to be no Joy in. life for mo. My sister told me about Tanlac, a new medicine for weak, run-down people, and begged me to take it. I had no faith in it, I had tried so many medicines, nut i knew I could not feel any worse, so I got a bottle of Tanlac. "And, oh, what a change! I began to feel better right away, and my appetite increased as I ate three good meals a day of really nourishing food. I began to sleep soundly. As I began to build up, my color became better, my eyes brighter and I gained weight. Soon the neighbors began to speak of my improved appearance. My nervousness gone, I began to enjoy hearing people talk and like their company. It was no task to do my housework, and after I had done it I could dress up and go calling or to the movies. It was so different, and it all occurred in just a little while.*' Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by J. F. Mackey, Lancaster; Peoples Drug & Grocery Co., Heath Springs; C. O.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED ?TOBACCO TASTES BETTER TOASTED Since the day of the caveman, who liked his meat raw, civilization has learned a lot about the scientilic treatment of the things we eat. Naturally none of us would now, fa prefer to have our meat raw, our potatoes as they come from the ground,' our coffee unroasted. And naturally follows the great di9covery recently made by The American Tobacco Co.?that tobacco tastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea ?simple like all great inventions?was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette?made of toasted Burley tobacco.
