StrenathenAmerica OPPOSED TO A WAR'CABINET Proposed Legislation, the President, Comes After Effective Measures of Reorganization Have Been Made--Secretary of War Upheld and Congressional Investigations Rapped--Chamberlain's Reply. Washington, Wilson issued Jan, a statement characterizing as an "astonishing and unjustifiable distortion of the truth" assertions made by Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, in a speech at New York concerning inaction and inefficiency on the part of the government in ita war preparations, and, declared opposition to the proposed reorganization of the war management. Investigations conducted at the capitol, tile president said, haa brought to the foreground delays and disappointments and had contributed to them by drawing officials from their work.

"Nothing or likely or facilitate the war tasks of the government has come cut of such criticism and investigation," ie added. Legislation proposed by the military committee for the creation of a war council and minister of munitions, the president declared, had -2ome after effective measures of re organization already had been maturely perfected. The president said he regarded Secretary Baker as oae of the ablest puu- lic cifleials he had ever known, ani that the country soon would learn whether he or his critics understood the business at hand. All doubt as to Wilson's view of proposals for reorganization of the government war-making machinery was swept away by the statement in which the president said the war department had accomplished a task of unparalleled magnitude and difficulty with extraordinary promptness and efficiency. Serator Chamberlain, whose com mittee has framed bills to create a war council all-powerful under the president ard to provide one-man con- munitions and stipphes, declared he would continue his fight in of presidential opposition When he heard of the president's statement he made reply, saying he hail sgoken extemporaneously at New New York and that his criticisms directed only at the military establishment, not at other departments of the government.

The president concluded his statement with these words: "To add as Senator Chamberlain did, that there is inefficiency in every department and bureau of the government is to show such ignorance of actual conditions as to make it Impossible to attach Importance to his statement. I am bound to infer that that statement sprang out of opposition to the administration's whole policy rather than out of any serious intention to reform its practice." "Food will win the war" It hits you in the face wherever you go-this slogan of the Hoover campaign for food will win the war!" When the Senate's Committee on Agriculture was investigating the subject of food-stuff, the liquor men denied that they consumed as much as the prohibitionists said they did--they declared that they used only one pet cent, of the All right let's take them at their word. One per cent, of the grain will feed one percent, of the people-- because there are one hundred million of us in this country. We shall probably send one million soldiers, to France. This'means that the liquor men have been wasting enofugh foodstuffs to feed every last man who will go to the trenches! If food will win-the war--as Hoover says then the liquor men have a fearful responsibility resting upon them when they waste the food which would give life and strength to our soldiers.

But what about the man whose vote gives the Jiquor men the right to do this? Every vote for will help save the soldiers at the Front. AFTER BOOTLEGGERS Roundup Likely In Towns Near Camp Sherman.

The war situation is critical, J-rf Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England, and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them. Wheat Savings--They must have wheat. Jt is the best food to fight on.

It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little-less than a quarter of what we ate last year--we cam support those who are fighting our battles. And we can -do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good.

The Corn of Plenty--Cora is that food There's a surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need It has given us corn in such bounty as was never known before. Tons of corn. Trainloads of Five hundi-ed million bushels over and above our regular needs. All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it.

Our forefathers adopted the eliK and conquered a continent For a great section of ot'i country it has blong een the staff of life. How well the South' fought on it, history tells. Now it can America win a world war.

Learn Something--Corn! It isn't one food. It's a dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.

It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it, dollar for dollar, meat or eggs or most other vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked. Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic. Corn's Infinite Variety--How much do you know corn? About how good it is? About the many delicious ways of cooking And what you miss by not knowing more about it? Here are a few of its uses: There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to a good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch or breakfast.
