Another tells of the rock Wei waste of wheat such stones arc told, the and other* naturally ask why they are being urged to save food for the sol diers. only to have it wasted by thoee for whom economy is being practiced in every loyal American home. It is hard fur us to believe *all of these stones of wanton and reckless waste, but that more waste than is necessary is going on at the can ton- mania is vouched for by peopW whose veracity is beyond question. For this reason, the government should make s close investigation of present con ditions and impress upon tffc soldier- cooks t hemic Hr es, as they are d upon the people in pnvate life, that economy is essential to the successful prosecution of the war.

Hi New Light Thrown on This Distress ing Ailment by Fnurent Authority For years Asthma has been thougld to be a disease of the respiratory or gans and remedies have been sought which would affect Uk* nose, .throat and lungs. Now one of the leading medical authorities of the U. S. has deterimed in the blood and tissue fluids.” Asthma then is not a disease purely of the respiratory organs but one which seems to affect these organs reflexiyely altho it is primarily a disease of the blood. * This clears up the mystery surround ing the remarkable alleviating effects achieved by SULFKRKO-SOL in cases of Ashthma. SULFKRRO-SOL relieves and ultimately eradicates Ashthma be cause it is the mightiest blood cleanser known to Druggists. * Many cases of cures'of asthma have been traced to the^ise of SULFURR0- SOLIti until this recent* pathological disco' e *y there was no way of deter mining just why SUL!*TRR()-SUL was such a wonderful source'lof relief in cases of Asthma., If you are an Asthmatic sufferer don’t lose another day. You can get SULFKRRO-SOL FROM ANY Druggist and he will be glad to tell >ou what a wonderful healer and builder it is. Sulferro-Sol ia sold and recommend ed by R. A.
