He proclaimed his defiance of drink from platforms throughout the country aiul held himself up to the youth as a horrible example of what drink would do. He never let up in his ag gressive fight agaiu*t liquor. He was fifty-i>lne years old when ho was counted out.

William Elliott. Food Administra tor has issued the following state mcivt : "Reports have reached this olllee tbat farmers in certain sections of the State are feeding seed to cattle, and In some instances using seed for fer tilizers. Such a poHcy on the j>art of any produ<vr is short -sighted when the prevailing price .for cotton seed | is obtainable and results in an eco nomic loss as %\t*l 1 as destroying val uable food f<>r man and lx?ast. "The food administration would like to >eo this wasteful practice eliminat ed. ?ltu)c 4 of the Special Hides of the I'nited States Fo<xl Administration prohibits the use <?f cotton seed for feed or fertilizers without the written consent of the State Food Adminis trator. It is probable that few farm ers who are thus practicing this waste ful method realize the loss both to themselves and to theLr fellow man resulting in the utilisation of cotton seed in this manner. "America is the greatest food store house in the world today and we must all practice the strictest kind of economy. Tl>ere mu"f bo no waste of. the essential food products. The oil which is extracted from the cot ton ?eed is a food product. Registration Notice.
