The available supplies of foodstuffs are the lowest in all food-producing countries that they have been for over fifty years. Prices of most foodstuffs have about doubled during the past two or three years. The government crop report fore casts a wheat crop which will be short of American consumption. The reserve supplies of meats are far below normal. A nation at war requires more food than a nation at peace. France, England, Belgium and Italy are short of food and are large ly dependent on American imports, and, unless some means is found of supplying them, they can not con tinue to fight effectively. The South is importing from the West and North $600,000,000 to $700,000,000 worth of foodstuffs an nually and is thus a tremendous drain on the nation's food resources and, consequently, is now a menace to the nation's safety. A pound of cotton at 20c will actu ally buy less foodstuffs now than normally. We must raise what we eat. THE HOME BANK AND TRUST COMPANY - _____.

'DICKASON'S DRUG STORE Noose Wives *$u8t Regist Hoover Outlines Plan for Enlisting Women as. Members of Food Administration. WAGE WAR AGAINST WASTE Food Controller Shows Where Mjl lions of Dollars Can be Saved in Kitchen. Washington, June 17.-Herbert C. Hoover outlined tonight his plans for enlisting the nation's housewives as actual members of the food adminis tration and appealed to them to join him in the fight for conservation measures and the elimination of waste. The women will, be enrolled during a period of registration from July 1, to July 15 through the Coun cil of National Defense and the State defense councils. Mr. Hoover is proceeding at the direction of Pres'dent Wilson, who without waiting for Congress to enact the administration food bills, direct ed him to proceed with organization as it contemplates assembling volun teer efforts. Asks Women to Register. "As required by the President," says his statement, "we ask every woman in the United States engaged in the personal control of the food to register for actual membership in the food administration, thus entering di rectly into the national service. We shall later on ask various classes of men likewise engaged in' food prep aration and distribution to also vol unteer to the national service in their various branches. "We must enter a period of sacri fices for our country and for democ racy. Many must go into battle, but many can only remain at home. The world's food supply is short and many must suffer. We have the major burden of feeding the whole world. Food must be managed and transport ed in our own country and to our allies in such a way as to get the most out of it. Those who remain at home can also help and can 'fight by helping the fighter fight' and can serve by saving.' Food Will Decide War. "Since food will decide the wear, each American woman can do a real national service by protecting the food supply of the nation. Ninety per cent of American food consumption passes through the hands of our wo men. In no other field do small things, when multiplied by our hun dred million people, count for so much. A single pound of bread saved weekly for each person will increase our ex port surplus of wheat 100,000,000 bushels, and an average saving of two cents on each meal every clay for each person will save to the nation for war purposes $2,000,000,000 per annum. "The proper assurance of the food to our allies will not only encourage them, but it will maintain them in war. Without a larger margin from our abundant food supply, only to be secured by individual effort and volun teer sacrifice, the war will be pro longed and thousands of lives, not only of men, but also of women and children, needlessly lost. The guid ing hand of wvomen in the home can alone control in this matter. High Cost of Living. "Furthermore this is not alone a war question. The high prices wvhich are. bearing so hard on the poor and the more moderate wvage earners in this country, are partially dlue to the shortage of supplies in the wvorld's market and the saving in consump tion and waste wvhich can be madec will lessen the prices to those of our own people wvhich must be our first solicitude. In all of the arrangements that we plan to make during the forthcoming year for the supply of our allies, we will bear the first re gard to our owvn people. "An effort at saving must be di rected toward the great national and international situation. These effortsg mu ~st all be made in unison and by all of us. Therefore, the ground wvork of dlirection must be national in char acter. Begins July 1st. "Inasmuch as before legislation is cornpJleted the food administration has no represen tatives throughout the coiuntry, the National Council of D~e fense is k~ndly requesting all the State Couneiis of D~efense, wvith the assistance of the women's committee of the National Council of Decfense, to undertake the registration. This reg ist rat ion will begin .July 1 and con tin'ie intensively for fifteen days, and wihi consi.st, simply in asking every wVomanl in the country to volunteer in this. im~portant service by signing and! mail to the food administrator, conservation dlivision, Washington, the following pledge:r Text of P'ledge.

Mrs. Dellinger Declares She Lived in Constant Dread. FEARED SOMETHING AWFUL "I Don't Know Why But I'd Just Go All to Pieces," She Said. "I hope my statement will bring benelt to others," said Mrs. L. A. Dellinger, of Cayce, S. C., a suburb of Columbia, as she began to tell on April 28th of the great results Tanlac gave her. ."I took three bottles of Tanlac and I'm free of all my ail ments now and I feel vne: I have not taken an ymedicine since I quit tak ing Tanlac. I was so poor and thin and weak when I started taking it, but the medicine made me strong and hearty. I suppose I gained at least ten or vfteen pounds in weight. "When I began taking Tanlac I was suffering awfully with a 'nervous stomach trouble and I was just so nervous I could not hold a conversa tion with anyone. I don't know why, but I would just 'go all to pieces.' My appetite had almost gone and I was awfully dizzy almost all the time. I thought, too, that something dreadful would happen to me and I lived in constant dread. At times it felt as if my heart would jump out of my body, too. But thanks to Tan lac, I am now free of those troubles and I'm glad to recommend Tanlac to any who suffer as I did." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Man ning; L. W.

Rhame, Sum merton.-Adv. vice of food conservation for our na tion and I hereby accept membership in the United States food administra tion, pledging myself to carry out the directions and advice of the food ad ministrator in the conduct of my household, insofar as my circum stances permit." We not only want the names and addresses, but we want the number of persons in the household, we want to know whether the household em ploys a cook, whether it has a gar den, and we want to know the occu pation of the bread winner. There are no fees or dues to be paid. "On receipt of the pledge we will send out preliminary instructions and a household tag to be hung in the window. The insignia of the food ad ministration will consist of the na tional shield, surrounded by heads of wheat, and we hope to have the shield displayed in every home in the United States. "We have the promise of support from many hundreds of women's or ganizations in the recruiting of our membership. "With the assistance of various trained women in the country, we are formulating committees on domestic economy, and from leaders in the sub ject of nutrition we are organizing committees on foodl conservation and utiHzation, andl we propose wvith their: advice to furnish information from time to time to the members of the administration as to the manner in. which they can best serve the national interests in food conservation. We have six general principles of instruc tions. Save Wheat. "First--to save wheat. If we eat as usual from our harvest this year we wvill have little more than enough for our owvn supply, but we can dlividle with our allies if each individual makes sonme sacrifice; by eating at least oneC wheatless meal a (lay, sub stituting cornbreadl or other cereals. "Second-We wvant to save the meat, for our cattle and hogs are decrasing, and we must send to our allies, so we wish every hv'iseholder to buy less. "Third-We wvish to save the fats. We consume three times the fats that ar' -essary for nutrition and wve ~now for war. We wvish r used in cooking; we want b~ut served on the table; we w. .. . ss lard, bacon andl other pork products usedl.

Save Tlransport at ion. "l'ifth -We want to save t:-an'gci tat ion. Our r'ailways are' unab!e to meet the war pressure for munit ion', men and coal so that we wvi:sh everv me to consume products of local ori iso far as possible. "'Aside from eating anI increase:d proportion of these commnodities in rerder to save on the staples, it is ex tremely important a surplus of thiese sommodities shall be preservedl or wvell stored for winter use'. . "Sixth-We preach and wmit every ajie to preach 'the gospiel of the clean plate'; to buy less foodstuff, to serve smaller portions and to see that nioth ing of value goes in to the garbage SPIES WATCHING VESSELS Germans at Gibraltar "Tipped" U Boat Concerning Schooner. Boston, June 15.--Capt. Frank Lau ren, of the American schooner Bar bara, sunk by a German submarine May 24, while en route from Port Ar thur, Texas, for Spezia, reported on his arrival here today that spies at Gibraltar had obtained information regarding the movements of his ves sel and conveyed it to the commander of the U-boat by which he was at tacked. One member of the crew was arrested at Gibraltar and locked up. There was reason to believe, the cap tain said, that he had communicated with Gerrhan spies. It was known, he said, that the Barbara would pro ceed from Spezia to Gibraltar and the member of the crew, whose name was not revealed, was formally charged "As Copeland Goes, 5 al 1 pp Mp C For the Ho The best line Ranges, Stoves ever shown in M For the The best Corn and C Distributors, Harrows a or two of those splendic rows left at less than co Plowden FL A PAT' i5oy this year and comnmet the boil1 weevil.
