WHEAT FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
Sov Bean and Rye Suggested by Food
Administrator—North Corolina
Leads in the Production
of Soy Beans.
g Raleigh, N. t\, June 25.—Going a
. step beyond the request to dealers
, to restrain from further purchases
of flour from outside the Stute,
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page has called upon the hotels,
restaurants, bakeries and institu
tions of North Carolina to mibsci
ture for wheat flour to as large an
extent as possible rye flour and soy
bean flour. County Food Adminis
trators in nt least two North Car
olina cities have declared that the
best bread on their markets at the
present is rye bread, and the Food
Adminitsrator has sent to all ba
keries and other large users a list
of North Carolina mill* which
supply rye flour.
Soy bean flour is included in tho
list of cereal substitutes which ma.v
be purchased with wheit flour"
and is being; used in large 'pianti-
Ifes in s-jme suctions. One North
Carolina mill three weeks ago hart
shipped 1,000 barrels of goy beans
flour to northern cities for use iu
bakeries, hotels and restaurants,
and had contracted for the delivery
of too tons more. North Carol!;n
produces morg soy beans thin nnr
other State in the Union and shou'l
be the pioneer in tho conotnption
as well as the production of this
product, according to the Food Ad
ministration. ;>
Rye flour and soy bean flour are
both produced in North Carolina
and their use would relieve the
transportation situation to a con
nidcrable extent. In »dditlon rve
and particularly s->y bean f loir are
considerably cheaper than wheat
flour. Hye flour Is j-ist as nutri
tious as wheat flour and "soy bean
flour contains more nutriment
pound for pound, thin even wheat
or beefsteak.

UTMOST SAVING OF
SUGAR NECESSARY
Pood Administrator Henry A. Page
Announces New Reatrlo? ons In
Sqles of Sugar and Calls Upon Con
sumers 1o economise—Prse*vlng
snd Canning Not to Be Curtslled.
Raleigh.—State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page has announced n"w
restrictions to govern all sales of sug
sr by wholesalers and retailers and
at ihe same time calls upon sugar con
sumers In North Carolina to econo
mlzn and save the utmost ounc.i .of
sugar through reduced consumption In
tho home and through the ellmlna
tion of soft drinks, candy aud other
less essential or non-essential pr id
ucts. Beginning today, all dealers are
forbidden to sell more than two
pounds to a town or ctty consumer or
more than five pounds to a country
consumer and not mors than 25 lbs.
can be sold at one time to Individuals
for cann!tiß and preserving purposes
under the certlcate plan announced
sonic weeks ago by the Food Admin
istration. If a larger quanlty Is re
quired at one time It may bo purchas
ed upon the approval of the County
Food Administration.
' L very dealer is required to keep an
absolutely accurate record of all sale:
of sugar, this record to include the
date of sale, name of purchaser,
quantity sold and price. These records
will bo examined periodically by the
Food Aminlstratlon Inspectors who
will be put in the field in the imme
diate future.
Mr. Page states frankly that the
sugar situation is serious. "It Is ex
tremely Important that there shall be
no curtailment In the quantity of pre
serves, Jam, and canned fruits manu
factured during the present season."
declared Mr. Page, "and if sugar Is
to bo plentiful and ample for preserv
ing and canning purposes there must
be marked conservation not only by
commercial users who produce leas
essential products such as soft drinks,
candy, etc., but also upon the part of
the Individual consumers. It Is the
patriotic duty of every American cltl*
zen to consume less of the products
of fountains and candy shops under
the present .conditions.
"It lsthe duty of every man, woman
and child in the United States to use
. u minimum of sugar for tea, coffee,
cereals, cakes and other edibles.
I "The Individual who uses more
sugar than Is necesary for any pur
pose and who leaves unused sugar in
the bottom of their coffee cups or iced
tea glasses, Is a slacker and a near
ally of the Kaiser.
Less Esssntlsla Must Go.
"The American nation Is stripping
to the waist for this fight and non
essential Industries must go by the
board. It has not been necessary
until this time to curtail our use of
sugar to the extent that is now re
quested. It is necessary now anil our
people must realize that, Just as In the
rase of wheat and meat, they must
save until It hurts. Tho Food Admin
istration doesH't want any one to do
without creals, coffee, tea, *%tc.. and
especially It doesn't want children
and invalids deprived of tho amount
of sugar necessary In their food for
their proper growth and development
but It does want and It will expect
evory patriotic adult to confine their
| use of sugar to not exceeding three
pounds per month at the very most.
This Is the measure of conservation
and ilioae three pounds a month
should Include any candy, soft drinks,
etc., that are used."
FtIEIIS ARE URGED TO

i Henry A. Page is urging tho farmers
of North Carolina to exercise care
during the present harvesting season
to the end that no wheat shall be

Through Deetructlon of Pontoon
Brldgee Over Plave River.
Over the entiro mountain region
the Austrlans have remained quiet, ex
cept when compelled to go on the de
fensive, and then their elforta to hold
back their antagonists have lacked
the stamina usual in men whose
hearts are in their task. This con
dition has prevailed since the first on
slaughts of the enemy was summarily
stopped by the fire of the British,
French and Italian forces forming the
barrier to the Venetian plains.
More heart Is being tnrown Into the
work by the enemy along the Plave
from the Montello plateau southward
to the region lying east of Venice.
Here he still seems, notwithstanding
his heavy losses and numerous re
pulses on various sectors, bent on '
throwing his armies across the stream
or pushing further westward with
those of his forces that already have '
forded it. Nevertheless, further set
backs to the Austrlans have followed 1
those of past days on the Montello,
where the Italians are viciously dis
puting the right of way to the plains.
Likewise, near the famous Zenson i
loop, farther down the stream, the
enemy's heavy attacks have been held
and under the Impetus of the Italian j
counter blows, he has fallen back
nearer the .river for reinforcements
hastily brought up.
Still farther south between FOB
salta and San Dona dl Plave the Ital
ians have further pushed back the in
vaders, and unofficial reports assert
that they have recaptured the village
of Capo Sile, lying on the edge of the
marsh region some 20 miles east of
historic Venice.
It 1s not outside the range of possi
bility that a large number of the Aus
trlans are in a fair way to be taken
prisoner by the Italians, for a large
number of tthe pontoon bridges which
they threw across the Plave over the
14% mile front between the Coneg-
Hano railway bridge an dthe Zenson
loop havo been carried away on the
bosom of the swollen stream. At any
rate the loss of these bridges will
necessarily seriously Impede the rein
forcement of the Austrian* on the
west bank of the stream and the re
plenishment of their supplies.
Meanwhile, the food situation and
the war weariness of the people with:
■ln the dual monarchy again are mak
ing trouble for the authorities. Trou
blous times also seemingly, are in
store for the German governmentt, ow
ing to lack of bread. In Vienna mobs
are reported to have raided bakerlees
and stoned the residence of the pre
mier and even to have attacked one
of the wings of the imperial palace.
Troops had to be called out to restore
order.

"I want to see the Dreco man,"
announced a middle-aged man aa

boro a few days ago. "I want lo
nee this man and tell him what
Dreco did for me nnd my wife so
that he can pnblish my experience

The Farrise-Kiutz store was
crowded with customers but every
body, including clerks and cus
tomers, stopped and lurtied to
hear what this enthusiastic inau
had to say. And it was well worth
their while for he told an interest
ing Btory.
The man, it developed later, was
John lbusinger, a carpenter of
Proximity Station and he has
given perinimion for the publica
tion of his strange stohy just as
lie told it then. This is what he
said:
"I have bought three bottles of
Dreco. My medicine isn't all out
but I came her" toniyht to tell
you how iniieli yood Dreco has
done for myself ami wife.
"I bought the lliree bottles
about two weeks ago. At that
time I was so bad off I hadn't beeta
ablo to work a whole week.
"As bad as I need money I
wouldn't take a thousand dollars
tonight for what this medicine has
done for me. My back ached so
bad that it felt like someone was
jabbing a knife into ine I couldn't
sleep for the awful pains I bad.
If anyone htfd slapped me on the
back I ktjow I would have fainted.
"I took 16 bo*£g of a certain
kind of popular kidney pills, have
been treated by good professional
men, and now a few bottles of
Dreco has done what All others
have faileiFin, for tonight I atn
a well and strong man again, with
not a pain in my body.
"See how I cati stoop and bend
over. How I can hit myself on
the small of my back. It's won
derful what Dreco has done. I
sleep so sound now that I dou't
bear the whistle blow of morn

"My wife has suffered from
rheumatism and Dreco has reliev

of us have told many of our
frieuds about this good medicine
and I want every suffering man

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOC
TOR BILLS. .
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which
Parents May Profit.
It's a matter of general interest
just now how one's physical con
dition can be got into shape to
best receive the benefits of the
summer season. Especially is
this true of the children. They
have become run down by a winter
of unnatural manuer of living be
cause of ill-considered food and
much time spent indoors. Spring
comes with its sunshine, its fresh
vegetables and all else invigorat
ing, but the children are in no
condition to receive nature's reme
dies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents
take advantage of what the phy
sician told them when he was first
called in consultation. All good
family physicians say: "Give the
children Castoria." Healthy pa
rents know this remedy of old,
for they took it themselves as chil
dren. It was moro than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a
place for itself in the household.
It bore the signature of Charles
11. Fletcher then, as it does today.
The signature is ita guarantee,
which is accepted in thousands of
homes where are children.
Mtich is printed nowadays about
big families. Dr. William J. Mc-
Crann, of Omaha, Neb., is the
father of oue of these mnch-read
about families. Here is what he
says:
"As the father of thirteen chil
dren I certainly know something
about your great medicine, and
aside from my own family experi
ence I have, in my years of prac
tice, found Castoria a popular
and efficient remedy in almost
every home."
Charles 11. Fletcher has receiv
ed hundreds of letters from prom
inent physicians who have the
same esteem for Castoria that Dr.
MoCrann has. Not only do these
physicians say they use Castocia
in their own families, but they
prescribe It for their patients.
Ftwt of all it is a vegetable pre
paration which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach
and bowels. After eating comes
sleeping, and Castoria looka out
for that too. It allays feverish
ness and prevents lose of sleep,
and this absolutely without the
use of opium, morphine or other
baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant
U> discuss proprietary medicines.
Halls Journal of Health, however,
says: "Our duty is to expose
danger and record the means for
advancing health. The day for
poisoning innocent children thru
greed or ignorance ought to end.
To our knowledge Castoria is a
remedy which produces composure
and health by regulating the sys
tem, not by stupefying it, and onr
readers are entitled UT the In
formation."

STILL SIGHTING FIERCELY
Knemy I* Being Steadily Pressed Back |
Towards Western Bank of
Turbulent River.,
The Austrian losses In their often
, slve on the Italian front exceed 120,-
000 men, according to a dispatch to
j La Libert® from Rome, quoting the
correspondent of The Corrlere D'ltalla.
The barrier the Italians and their_ '
, allies have raised along the great bat-'
tie ares from the Aslago plateau to
the sea remains insuperable to the
' Austrlans. '
The operations by which the enemy
1 had hoped to press his way from the
mountain peaks In the Alps and
across the Plave river to the plains of
Venetla thus far have met with almost
signal failure. Where the enemy was
able In the mountains to press back
sllgptly the allied defenders of the
front In the first day of their offensive ,
the ground has been regained; where
, he crossed the Plave river and ap
parently was threatening the plains 
with lnvaalon he now Is being sorely
harassed at every point
The battle Is not a stalemate. In the
mountains, the Italians, British and
French troops seemingly have the up
per hand; along the Plave from the
Montello plateau to the mouth of the
river east of Venice the Italian*, ap
parently are gaining the upper hand.
Little fighting ef moment la in prog
ress in ths modhtaln region but all
along the Plate battles of great vio
lence are in progress with the invad
ers meeting resistance upon which
they had not eonnted and being stead
ily pressed back toward the western
bank of the now tnrbulent river which
has swept away many of their pon
toon bridges in the center of the line,
leaving them in a rather precarious
predicament.
Fresh rains have forced the river
weU out of its banks and the ques
tion of sending Austrian reinforce
ments to the western side or convey
ing food and fflllitar? supplies to the
fnen already on the border of the
plains has become a critical one.
Hoping to alleviate the situation,
ths Austrlans again have delivered at
tacks on the Montello plateau.
Do not foi*et that Dr. SBTH AR
NOLD'S BALSAM is the best known
Remedy for all bowel complaints.
