Orders That Six Pounds Per Month May Be Sold to Each Person. it is absolutely necessary 10 re duce the consumption of wheat flour to six pounds per person per month." In no instance shall more than this amount for each member of the house hold be sold by any retailer or miller to the head of any family for the use of his household. "All nills having food administra tion flour contracts must proceed to fill them immediately, regardless of allfothcr demands for their products. running exclusively upon government business until uncompleted contracts Shall be filled." The foregoing order was issued by Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad ministrator for Nebraska before he left on a brief coast try. Mills are becoming too greatly in arrears in their shipments of flour under government contract and the order is to expedite the movement of flour. Enforcement of the order is centered in the southwestern 'milling division, with offices in Kansas City. New Rules in Line. "This order only emphasizes the necessity Tor flour productions," said Mr. Wattles. "The new wheat con servation rules and regulations are in line with this order. While these rules may seem drastic and annoying, to" some, yet they ask 'very little. "We hiive sent our young men across the water to fight for us and to help our associates in the war. Are we going to send thetn the food that is necessary that they may maintain health and put up their greatest fight for democracy? Or are we going to eat this flour ourselves? v "The answer is with us. We are going to send the flour acros, even if we have to go without ourselves. , "Today our associates are putting up the greatest straggle in the history of the world for an ideal the rights to live under democratic form of gov ernment. It would be the greatest crime in history if we failed to provide the necessities to successfully wage this battler Food .is the prime necessity,. even more important than munitions. ' ' ( Sacrifice Is Slight. , "What is the sacrifice we are asked to make in comparison with the sacri fices that have been made for years by our associates? So when we are asked to limit our consumption of wheat, we are asked to contribute a very small part of '-'hat, those who ire fighting for us art giving." In bulletin to county food ad ministrators, Mr. Wattles permits a slight modification of the substitute order. Permission is given to millers and retailers fo sell wheat flour with out substitutes to consumers, who grind their own corn meal, or pres entation of a writen statement that purchaser has on hand corn meal to the amount of the flour he desires to purchase and will Mise it for human food at the same time and during the period that flour is used. In all cases the statements must be signed by the county food adminis tatqr or his Iqcal representative. . CAIRO FEARS Affi . RAIDS;. HOSTILE. : PLANENEAR CITY London. March 28.

Carack started with about $5 and bad $105.05 in his possession when arrested, while the "teacher" had about $13 left.

WATSON SAYF HE HAD SUFFERED FOR TWENTY YEARS Takes Tanlac and Now Feels Like New Man; Gains Fifteen Pounds. "I am just now on my third bottle of Tanlac and have actually gained fifteen pounds," was the remarkable statement made by W. R.atsn, 428 West Fifth South Street, Salt Lake City, recently. Mr. Watson, who was a railroad man for a long time, has for tho past two years been em ployed by the city in the bridge de partment., "For twenty years, that is, until I began taking Tanlac," continued Mr. Watson, "I have suffered more than I can tell from gas and pains in my stomach. These attacks would come ?uick and sharp and in ten minutes would be tompelled to give up what ever I might be doing. For five years I suffered the greatest agony. About fifteen years ago my condition be came so serious that I had an. opera tion, and after this I seemed t? get better, but in about a year the pains returned just as bad as ever. My stomach would knot up in great ridges and the pain wai perfectly awful. Nothing I would eat agreed with me. I had no appetite and all my food would sour and make gas and misery for me. My nerves were so shattered that I could hardly sleep at all, and many a day I could not go to my work at all. My color was bad and my strength was getting away from me rapidly. I fell off some fifty pounds in weight and nobody will ever know how I sufferedbecause I can only partially describe it "But my relief has come at last, thanks to Tanlac. I saw where it was proving of suh benefit to people here, and as I had tried everything else without getting any results, I concluded to see what it would do for me, and wonderful is the only word that expresses it After taking about a half dozen doses my appetite began to pick up and I found my stomach-was beginning to digest my food. When I finished my first bot tle,xthat tired feeling had left me. I felt stronger and could walk with out my legs giving out. Well, when I first began on Tanlac I just weighed one hundred and thirty pounds. I now weigh one hundred and forty five pounds, an actual gain of fifteen tounds, and I'm beginning to feel ike a brand new man. My nerves are greatly improved and I sleep better every night I notice my kidneys and bladder are more regular and natural, too, and so I have gotten good results all over. I am fully convinced by what those two bottles have done for me that two or three more will put me in as good health as I ever was in my life. I'm simply feeling alto gether different in every .way and I can't praise Tanlac too highly for the good it has done me." Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher man & McConnell Drug Company, corner 16th and Dodge streets; Owl Drug Co.. 16th and Harney streets; Harvard Pharmacy, 24th and Farnaht streets; Northeast corner J9th.rnd Farnam streets, and West End Phar macy, 49th and Dodge streets, under the personal direction of a special AMIENS IS POINT TOWARD WHICH , TEUTONS STRIKE Capture of Important French City Would Endanger Paris; Germans Gain Little in Great Drive. London, March 25. "The ultimate object of tills vaf5id and intent enemy advance is clearly the great strategic point of Amiens," says the Times, "and, though it is still remote, the situation is sufficiently serious lo war rant a contemplation of this catas trophe.1 "The fall of Amiens might have .threefold consequences: It would bring the enemy to a point from which to threaten our northern, line it woufd assist them to strike at the channel ports and it would endanger seriously the safety of Paris." The Times advises the British peo ple to take seriously the long range gun whjch has bombarded Paris and adds: "We may be quite certain that our own inviolate shores will soon learn what the new gun can do." 1 Germans Gain Little. Commenting on the results of the German offensive, the Daily Chronicle says: "Assuming that the German losses Lare at least 1S0.00O, the enemy has suc- tained a reverse, for he has not ob tained a strategical success directly conducing to a decision, while he has lost 8 or 10 per cent of his effec tives without similarly lowering the efficiency o the allies. "This rnatter is of the greatest im portance, for Germany at present is at the critical moment when the man power pendulum is swinging in favor of the allies. No weakness at the Anglo-French junction has yet been disclosed , and the task before the enemy in the next days of the battle is more formidable than that already accomplished."

Adv. 1848-1918 T Back in the forties, when San Francisco was twenty n days from New York and Europe, was another planet, cities were mostly interested in themselves. - , , Newspapers had space only for the city hall reporter, weddings and other local happenings. But as American life expanded into national, and then international compass, people demanded news from other cities and countries. -v And so, in 1848, the publishers of a number of leading American newspapers formed a mutual organization which was named the Associated Press - In effect, theie newspapers comDined their newsgathering staffs, supplying each other with the important news, each within his own particular territory. . , Later were added special Associated Press correspondents and foreign correspondents. Incidentally, a vast organization was set on foot to transmit the dispatches over the telegraph wires. From this beginning lias grown the great Associated " s Press of to-day. Its membership reaches into almost every city and town of importance in the country 1,080 are on the rolls.
