USE OF RYE FLOUR
CHICAGO.—To a considerable ex
tent, feeding the eyes instead of
the stomach is responsible for the
high cost of living, according to au
thorities here in the milling and
grain trade. They cite the fact that
rye flour is 82.55 a barrel cheaper
than white flour, although, except
for looks, the rye flour is equally
good or better food.
Unusual cheapness of rye flour at
this time is ascribed to two causes—
the stoppage of whisky distilling and
the substitution of white bread for
rye bread by thousands of working
men, who, until the era of high
! wages, used rye bread as a rule.
It is said also by the milling ex
perts that, so far as known here,
the United States Government is
purchasing only white flour for ship
ment to Europe, notwithstanding the
fact that the bulk of the population
across the Atlantic is far more ac
customed to rye bread than white.

NENANA PEOPLE
SHOULD EAT PIE DAILY
Pie is wholesome, combining both
fruit and grain. Those who have
trouble digesting pie should take
ONE SPOONFUL simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., a3 mixed in
Adler-i-ka. This flushes the ENTIRE
bowel tract, removes foul matter
which poisoned your stomach for
months and relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation
and prevents appendicitis. Leaves
stomach in condition to digest ANY
THING. A. D. Thompson, druggist.

final permanent guard of American

ry itself, will form part of the
United States garrison on the Rhine.
