"Woe unto you that, are
full, for ye shah huffier."
Luke 6: 25.
Not spiritually (although even the
penalty of remorse may follow
your neglect of thi., national warn-
ing) but ye shall hunger in the
trying physical sense in which
hunger now grips the peoples of
Europe.
We know "it is difficult to talk to
the belly which hath no ears," and
it is just as difficult to persuade a
person who has a full dinner be-
fore him to -day that he may want
for food next month.
Rut you may as well let this fact
sink into your mind -the last
people that Canada and theUnited
States will allow to suffer for
want of food are our fighting
men, and if a sufficient exportable
surplus of food cannot be raised
and saved by voluntary efforts, then
very drastic rationing measures
will be enforced.
It may astonish you to learn that in
1917 Ontario did not grow enough
wheat for its own needs. Conse-
quently every Ontario farmer
whose land is suitable, has been
urged to "sow 5 acres more spring
wheat this year so that Ontario's
demand for wheat shall not be met
at the expense of that portion of
the Western crop that should more
rightfully be shipped overseas.
For this same reason every house-
holder who has a garden or a piece
of vacant land is being urged to
grow vegetables, because the more
vegetables that are grown and
eaten in Ontario, the Tess wheat and
meat there will be consumed, and
that being so, the Ontario wheat
crop should then be sufficient to
feed our own people, and leave
more Western wheat and other
foods available for export.
If you have not yet deeded to
plant a vegetable garden make up
your mind to do so now. You will
not regret it. There is still lots of
time. Potatoes and beans may be
planted up to June 1st and these
are the best substitutes for wheat
and meat.
For good, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Gar-
den for Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture for the guidance of citizens who will respond to
this call for increased production.

The customs house collapsed, the

of soldiers and others collapsed with-
out warning. It is said that not •
single soul escaped, including the
players. Whole streets of bowies
were wrecked and the scene In the
Chinese quarter is one of absolute
devastation.
Many persons assert that during

Too Little Exercise
THE necessity of using medi-
cine to regulate the action
of the liver, kidneys and
bowels is largely due to the
, changed conditions' of life dur-
ing recent years.
Our fathers lived a life of acti-
vity in the open air. If they ate
heartily they had sufficient exer-
cise to keep the liver and bowels
active and to thereby remove the
poisonous waste from the body.
To -day we get too little exercise
acid too little fresh air. The food we
eat is more concentrated and artifi-
cial. The result is much discomfort
and the development of serious dis-
eael from constipation of the bowels
and torpid condition of the liver.
K:dney diaealA'e, rheumatism, lum-
bago, backache -all have their begin-
ning in the inactivity of the liver
and bowels.
The great secret of keeping in
health is to look to the regularity of
these filtering and eliminating
organs, and Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pills is the most satisfactory medi-
cine obtainable for this purpose.
If you read the reports appearing
in this paper, from time to time, from
persons who have used this treat-
ment with good results, you will find
that Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills
are effective where ordinary medi-
cines fail. This success is due to
their combined action on the liver,
kidneys and bowels. One pill a dose
at bedtime as often as is necessary to
keep the bowels in healthful action,
will also ensure the regularity of the
liver and kidneys and thereby keep
the blood pure and th'e system free
from the accumulating poisons which
cause disease and suffering.
