12 SILLY SUNDAY IS ADVOCATE OF THE SMILEAGE BOOK "(Jo to It Strong," Urges Na tion's Greatest Revivalist mr BIUiT SUNDAY Billy Sunday, who is doing his bit in Washington, D. C., toward keep ing the Hun in place, sent his con gratulations to-day to the local doin mittee on the first day's returns from the sale of Smileago Books, which netted about SI,OOO of the $5,000 which it is aimed to obtain. "As a matter of fact," said Billy, "most of the folks don't know what the man in the training camp is up against. You've got to give them something to do —something to take their minds oft' their work, once in a while. Keep the devil away. And then you sort of freshen them up so that they get a new grip on the work and can go at it harder. "Why," lie continued, "you run across the same thing everywhere in business nowadays. Look at the hooks on the psychology of organiza tion and selling. Look at the big business places putting up parks and restrooms and having ball teams — it gives the men something besides their work to bind them together. Lid you ever go to a clambake? Now. then, didn't you sort of ease off for the hard pull again at the work when you came back? Sure you did. It's" the same way with the soldiers. I never condemn the the ater as an institution though there arc a lot of things about u theatev I don't approve of. But here's a case of giving the sol dier some deecnt ausmement, just like he used to get in his home town, or letting the devil get busy on him when there isn't anything else on his mind. The devil would sure elect on a lot of boys, simply because he got to em w'hile they weren't look ing. Give 'em the amusement—good, clean, snappy things; live stuff. And Smileage coupons will put it over in great shape. Good luck to Smileage. You'll have to print more books. The old folks back in the towns are going to jump at this chance. "The Y. M. C. A. can't do this. They have their hands full with the religious and welfare work let alone the rest of this It's all needed too." Sunday passed a good compliment to the administration when he learned that the Y. M. C. A. and K. of C and the American Library Asso ication are all under the War De partment Commission on Training Camp Activities. "Now, that's a pretty good work," ho aid. "So that was Wilson's idea? Good for him." "Yes," he went on, lying down on the top of the library table with his hands under his head, "t'hat's getting organizations together. That's Amer ica for you. Give them each a part and let 'em go to it. And you pulled all the Chautauqua managers to gether, too. Good for you. They're a great bunch.. They do a lot of good in the country. Lots of these smart alecks in the cities don't know about them but they would learn a lot of they took the time they spent in Joe's place or some other ginmill to find out what is going on, and wise up to some of the things that would help 'em a lot." "That proves it," said Billy, when he saw a letter that General Scott had written in regard to the need of theaters. He slapped his hand with the same gesture he uses when he is giving the devil a good crack in the ribs. "There's a man that knows the situation. Ho knows sol diering. He's been an Indian fighter. lle"ll have a gang with him when he goes across that'll make anything the Kaiser has look as sick as a ginmill when .the town goes dry. Give the boys something to do to make the change as gradual as pos sible —that's good dope. Smileage is the way to do it. Go to it strong!" Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad.

MONDAY EVENING, GROCERS MUST * SELL FLOUR ON A 50-50 BASIS Housewife Must Buy Other Cereal With Wheat, Pound For Pound Beginning to-day housewives in Harrisburg will be compelled to buy wheat flour and wheat flour substi tutes in equal amounts. Retail grocers have been notified by How ard Heinz Federal Pood Adminis trator for Pennsylvania, that until further notice they will not be per mitted to seel wheat flour to their customers uness an equal amount of the substitute is purchased at the same time. It is said that drastic as the order is, it will be strictly enforced by the Pood Administration. Whie there is admittedly a gen eral shortage here of substitutes, seventeen articles are named by the Food Administration as coming within the description of wheat flour substitutes.

The general stock, of wheat flour substitutes in the city is said by the Food Administration to be sufficient however. Betu.il grocers are warned that if they have not provided the substitutes, "they will have to go dig them up, for they must comply with the regula lation." In announcing "the 50-50" buy ing regulation covering the con sumption of wheat flour, Mr. Heinz gave out the following statement last night: Appeal Sent to All Grocers "To all dealers in food products and consuming public in the state of Pennsylvania: "The President of the United States has called upon the Ameri can people to further aid in the conservation of our wheat supply and other food staples, to such ex tent as will enable the continued support of our armies and civilian populations of those countries as sociated with us in the war. "Pursuant to' this proclamation the United States Food Administra tion has issued instructions limiting the sale of wheat flour by the trade to the ratio of one pound of wheat substitute to each pound of flour purchased, the rule to be strictly observed by all wholesale and re tail dealers in food unless modified by such specific written authority as might be granted in exceptional cases by- State Administrators. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! "Because of a general shortage of wheat substitutes and difficulties and delays incident to transporta tion, the proposed ratio of sale was temporarily modified in this state. "The authorities at Washington now, however, believe that ample time has been afforded the trade to renew and replenish stocks of the wheat substitutes to sufficient extent to henceforth permit the full opera tion of the government regulation, even though such operation may still for a time bo attended by in convenience in some localities and estbllshmentß. The need for wheat conservation is so serious to de mand instant co-operation d? the part of the entire public. "It is accordingly ordered that, beginning Monday, February 4. and continuing until further notice, all dealers in wheat flour (whole or re tail) will be permitted to sell it onlv in combination with other recog nized wheat substitutes in the mini mum ratio of one pound of wheat substitute to each pound of wheat flour sold unless it is first definitely determined that wheat substitutes in equivalent quantities have been previously purchased from another source. For the present a written and signed declaration by flour pur chasers within the trade will be con sidered sufficient evidence on which to base this determination. Seventeen Substitute's Named "Cereals to be recognized as wheat substitutes are corn meal cornstarch, corn flour, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice flour, po tato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean flour feterita flours and meals, and no others except that rye may I be used until March 3. "All county federal food admin- j istrators are charged with the duty ' of seeing that these regulations are ! strictly observed by the trade and; will promptly report violations to j the State Administrator. "This is a necessary war measure and appeal is made to the public for patriotic acceptance of the con- I ditions imposed, even though incon venienced in the purchase of any! flour by fact of temporary trade | shortage of substitute materials." ,Tho complaint that farmers will find themselves short of fertilizers this spring unless the Federal Food , Administration takes action, was answered yesterday by the adminis tration, which said there are now several thousands tons of fertilizer in Philadelphia awaiting orders. It! was also pointed out that arrange- j ments have been made to provide j the freight cars in which to trans- j port it, and that the farmers win do i well to place thcir orders at once. I The embargo on fertilizers and food ! was raised on Friday. Docal market conditions continued ! to show improvement yesterday. The ! supply of -vegetables, butter, cold i storage eggs, poultry and meats was said to be ample. The strictly I scarce articles of food were confined ' to out of season vegetables and trop- j leal fruits Prices ranged normal. Real Contest For War I Cabinet Will Open in the Senate This Week l Washington, Feb. 4. The real | agitation for a war cabinet, the real i fight, against governmental , ineffi | ciency and the bureaucracy system, I will open in the Senate this week. l T p to the present the agitation has ' been conducted rather blindly, and j the attack has been delivered wildly. Two months of investigations have | hardly placed Congress in touch with ; the executive situation, but within the last week, and especially after the attack on Inefficiency delivered | more than a week i.go by Senator I Chamberlain, of Oregon, tlie Senate has rapidly been finding its bearings : with respect to the real issue. Kerensky Followers to Hold National Convention in N.Y. New York, Feb. 4. Consternation spreatl among the Bolshevik delegates to the self-styled Russian colonial congress in this city, when news was ! disseminated that another Russian ' convention is to be held here Febru i ary 9toll by the followers of Alex | amler P. Kerensky, the deposed Rus. ; sian premier. j The new convention, it was said, ) will be national in scope and will j have delegations from all the im portant cities in the United States. I It could not be learned who is at the i head of the movement in opposition i to the Bolsheviki, but Alexander Stok- I litzky, in calling to-day's session of the congress to order, said that vain FEBRUARY 4, 1918. 1 efforts had been made to "get thiß wing of the Russian colony In line with the conference." Although the Bolshevilfl are in con trol of the present assemblage, a per sistent minority has created so much confusion that virtually nothing of a constructive character has been ac complished since the opening session Friday. Seek "Deferred Draft" For Farming Experts State College. Pa.. Feb. 4. ln an effort to get deferred classification in the Army draft for agricultural teachers, research workers and stu dents. It. I<.Watts, dean of the Penn sylvania State College School of Agri culture, has asked the War Depart ment to list these men in Class 4. He advanced the"argument that farm ing experts are neoded at home to grow crops that will supply food for the Army. Since the engineering students at State College have, been granted vir tual exemption until after graduation, so that they may continue their tech nical studies, the agricultural school authorities are seeking the same privilege for their students. They say there ls no place In the Army where a technically trained farmer can use his knowledge to thr best advantage-. Representatives of the leading agri cultural schools of the country have made similar requests in behalf of their students. If the AVar Depart ment considers these men essential to increased crop production and puts them in the fourth class they will be assigned definite farm work by the district draft boards. QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION • Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablet? That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomels old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keynote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab lets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a "dark brown mouth"—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are consti pated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take one or two every night just to keep right. Try them. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.
