8 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 27, 1918. I'M 1: Of I i5l t i r I 1 , if i NEBRASKA IS i BREADBASKET OF ! THE GREAT WEST h ij; Produced Enough Grain, Live !j; Stock and Butter Last !;' Year to Gvie Each Family $2,759. Grain, live stock and butter weie produced in Nebraska in 1917 in volume sufficient to bring, at market price, $2,759 to every family in the state, or $659.3! to every man, woman and child in the state. This is taken from figures used by State Food Administrator G. W. WattleS in one of his recent lectures on "Crumbs That Fall From the Rich Man's Table." Of course, produce, or the proceeds of produce, is not always thus equally divided, but the food administrator was mere ly showing what a bread basket Nebraska is, and what it can do to ward feeding the soldiers of America and the allies, besides feeding its own population. Grains. Under the head of grains, Mr. Wattles included potatoes and apples and thus made a total of $515,624,150. Sugar beets were lumped in with the live stock, making a total of $282,385, 545. The butter totalled $18,734,390. The total value of these products was $813,543,055. The government estimate of Ne braska's population at this time is 1,250,000. The number of families estimated is 294,000. Thus it is that the average per capita production in dollars and cents is figured at $659, 31, or $2,759 per family. Further figures worked out along this line by Mr. Wattles follow: Live Stock. In 1917 Nebraska sent from her fields on to the South Omaha live stock market: Cattle, 871,232 head; hogs. 2,085, 217 head; sheep. 886,239 head. The 1917 shipments, when slaugh tered, dressed out in pounds: Cattle, 479,177,600 pounds of beef; hogs, 354,486,890 pounds or pork; sheep, 39,846,884 pounds of mutton. Total, -864,511,484 pounds of meats, exclusive by-products. This production means that for every man, woman and child in Ne braska, the state produced and mar keted: Beef, 384 pounds; hogs, 284 pounds; sheep, 32 pounds. Total, 700 pounds of, meats. Wheat and Rye. In 1917, Nebraska produced: Wheat, 18,357,000 bushels; rye, 2,699,000 bush els. Converted into flonr, according to government regulations, this would produce: Wheat flour. 797,428,080 pounds: Rye flour, 11.724,456 pounds. Total, 809,153,536 pounds. For every man, woman and child in Nebraska this means, 647 pounds. According to Dr. Condra's statment, Nebraska produces in sugar each year, 140,000,000 pounds. For every man, woman and child in Nebraska this means, 112 pounds. ' What Government Asks. The government, through the food administration is asking that you ob serve these rations: Sugar, three pounds per month; 36 pounds per year. Flour, four pounds per week; 200 pounds per year. England has limited household con sumption of meat to two and a half pounds a week or 130 pounds each year. By observing these suggestions, each man, woman and child in Ne braska could have all they need and furnish fo our soldiers: Meat, 570 pounds, or enough for four and . half soldiers annually. Flour, 447 pounds, or enough for two and a half soldiers annually. Sugar, 86 pounds, or enough for two and a half soldiers annuatly. This means that you can feed four soldiers meat, two and a half soldiers flour, and two and a half soldiers sugar. Potatoes. Of potatoes, Nebraska produced 13,900,000 bushels in 1917, 834,000,000 pounds, or for every man, woman and child, 767 pounds each. The German's principal diet is po tatoes and they allow each person, 367 pounds annually. You can have all you need and furnish 400 pounds annually, or enough to feed one soldier. mviE side John Vail and Dewey Barrett have returned from a short business trip to Sioux City.

"' n 50,000 Hudson Super-Sixes Each one a Guarantee of this New Series No one really in touch with motor car values now asks concerning the detail specifications of the Hudson Super-Six. In the sale of more than 20,000 cars last year, few buyers wanted such particulars. Thousands did not even care to see under the hood. They offered as explanation of their seeming disinterestedness that they were not themselves competent judges of such matters and that they chose the Super-Six because of what they knew it had done in serving persons they knew. They said they had read with interest and perhaps some skepticism the statements made about the car when it was first announced. They were not sure that the Super-Six motor gave greater power than other motors of equal sire and that they did not understand the Hudson patented principle which niinirnized vibration and assured longer motor and car Hfe. They explained that they were conservative buyer-, not given to buying new things.

At first, he declares, he took the matter as a joke, but as time wore on and each succeeding person wished him well and asked kindly after the "wife," the lieutenant be came weary and has ilreatened destruction to the next one who makes any reference to his "married life."

It was that which had persuaded them to choose the Super-Six and so why should they show any more interest in such details than one would display in buying a watch? No one asks" concerning the construction of the main spring. What they want to know is whether the movement is a reliable timekeeper. So much assurance concerning the Super-Six is at hand wherever one inquires that we refer prospective buyers to what the public has to say about it. But there is a particular about the Hudson line that everyone must want to know.

Red Cross Wants Your Old Safety Razor Blades Safety razor blades are now to be saved and donated to the Red Cross to be sold as steel scrap. Seth C. Halsey, vaudeville actor, and volun teer worker for the Red Cross is in Omaha boosting for the saving of blades "Convert the blades into bandages," he says, "and save the Sammies from suffering."

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH TALKS My great success in the elimina tion of disease is due to the fact that I find the cause of your trou ble and then adjust the cause in stead of treating the effects. The cause of every individual disease common to the human body is within the body, and the cure is there also. ' Eighty per cent of the opera tions could be avoided by taking Chiropractic adjustments, whether it be tonsilitis, appendicitis or in the very large class known as "Women's Diseases." After reading this article you may say all of this sounds too good to be true. I admit that these are broad statements, but I make them because they are facts, and facts are impossible to contradict. My methods will stand thorough investigation. Hundreds of people after having tried about every thing else to no avail have found the relief they so long desired and unsuccessfully sought. Adjustments are $1.00, or 12 for $10.00. Outside calls made by appoint ment are $2.50. DR. BURHORN Chiropractor. (Palmer School Graduate) 414-18-19 (Rote) Securities Bldg.
