W. A. KOLOKH,

To all Itolallers of Flour in Jack
ion County:
Wo have endeavored to roach all
morchants In this county by tele
phone, letter, or personal sorvlce, re
garding the action of the .Merchants
Association In Ashland and Modford
and have been ussured of the cooper
ation of nil the other merchants In
the county.
It Is now proposed that wo put Ore
gon on a wheatloss basis until August
1st and follow the Instructions and
regulations of the U. S. food adminis
tration of Oregon relative to wheat
less Oregon until August 1st. Our
merchants as far as wo have been
able to reach, have agreed to follow
the food administration's request and
are all willing to return all flour in
their possession to the II. S. food ad
ministration to be sblppod to our ar
mies and allies In Franco.
Only Sell .Stock on llnnil
The food administration has noti
fied us that they will send specific
Instructions regarding the taking
over of tho flour on hunt! vory soon.
In the meantime, ploaso rofrnln from
selling any whllo wheat flour.
The food administration advises
that they cannot take over the wholo
wheat and graham flour and there
fore you are permitted to soli what
you bavo on hand, In accordance with
the regulations now In force.
Tho U. S. food administration also
asks all Individuals to turn back such
flour as thoy have on hand in unbro
ken packages. This Is not compul
sory, but those who realize the ser
iousness of the situation believe It to
bo tholr patrlnlto duty. No whout
flour will bo rocolvod that contains
weevils. Ilowovor, any Individual
who has more flour than Is necessary
to run him until August 1st (based
on l'j lbs. of lour per wook fur
thoso not onKacud In henvv manual
labor and 3 V4 lbs. per week for those
engaged In hard lubor) will ho con
sidered as having on hand moro than
they aro entitled to and It Is demand
ed of such Individuals that they re
turn any surplus flour, based on said
regulations, otherwise they will be
reported to the U. S. food administra
tion and without a doubt by thorn

It Is recommended that the merch
ants receive flour turned back by In-'
ilivldiials, giving them credit fur so
many pounds of fluur returned, but
they need not ngreo on a price. If
(he Individual desired to trade It for
other merchandise, an estimated price
might be arrived nt, but final settle
ment dnlnyod until tho food adminis
tration settles for tho flour and then
Iho merchant allow tho customer
whatever price tho food administra
tion paid for the saino.
I'nder tho government's regula
tions of foodstuffs, bakeries, ns well
as certain logging camps thruout tho
Klalo of oVngon are licensed. These
will bo allowed to purchase flour
based on 70 percent of lust year's
sales. Tho merchants of Jackson
county have agreed I in case they
hnnilli! any bakers bread) not lo hiin
dle any except war bread, which ut
present contains til per cent substi
tutes and which undoubtedly the food
administration will rnlso to higher

afternoon by hanging himself In the
barn at his home. He was 72 years,
ton months and seven uays old. Ill
health Is thot to have led him to the
act of self-destruction.
Mr. Knauer who had boon a resi
dent of this vicinity for the past six
years, having come from Chicago
where he was a professional musician
for years, did his work as usual yes
terday forenoon and after dinner
went to tho barn. There he fastened
a ropo to a raftor, placed the other
end In a noose about his neck, stood
on a chair and then jumped off. The

Jackson county has one patriotic
citizen of whom her citizens can well
feel proud. He Is J. W. Thompson,
the well known sheep man In the An
telopo district whoso patriotism is of
the modest and practical kind.
In accordance with his annual cus
tom last fall Mr. Thompson bought
his year's flour supply of from 1000
to 1000 pounds, from the Warner,
Wortman & Gore grocery in this city.
Learning recently of the govern
ment's need for wheat and flour (or
the allies, and that no more was to
he sold, etc., lie decided at once to
return all the unused flour beyond
what was necessary for the Immedi
ate future needs on his large ranch.
Monday he returned to Warner,
Wortman & Gore eight sacks of flour,'
about 400 pounds, with the naive re
mark, "I need this flonr but some one
olse needs It worse." He was given a
receipt for the flour which will he
turned over to the food administra
tion. He had returned the eight
sacks wrapped carefully with canvas
so that the bags would not get dirty
In being brot to the city.
Furthermore, Mr. Thompson care
fully went over his stock of corn
picked out all tho milling corn and
took it to the mill at Haute Point
where he had it ground up for use us
a flour substitute on the fifty-fifty
basis. His return of the flour was
purely voluntary, as having purchas
ed It last fall he was entitled to Its
use.
Mr. Thompson's act Is especially
refreshing in view of the reports
reaching the authorities the past few
days of a number of cases where
large quantities of flour are being
conccalod ana hoarded. , These cases
are now under investigation. The
eight returned sucks are on exhlbl

Bayonne, New Jersey.
Dear Sirs :
I take pleasure in advising you that the relief I have ob
tained from the use of Nujol is far more than what is ordinarily
termed "satisfactory." .
. For years before sending you my order for a trial bottle of '
Nujol I habitually used destructive "pink pills" due to the fact
that through lack of proper exercise I was continually constipated
and a sufferer from other ailments known to result only from
irregular bowel-action. I have taken three bottles of Nujol, and
ever since I finished. the first bottle my bowel action has been as
tegular as the rising sun, and my general physical condition is
now as good as can be wished for.
In my opinion Nujol is a scientific cure for constipation and
its countless other resultant ailments. I earnestly recommend it.
Yours truly,
C. S. Holmberg.
Don't dread constipation; but don't neglect it It's the
poisonous root of scores of serious ailments. Do exactly what
Mr. Holmberg did : bring back regular bowel-habits with
Nujol. Nujol gives you the quick relief you want without
the least griping or reaction. Thousands know it is the
safest remedy, for the body cdtrnot absorb it. Quit using
harmful pills and salts. Nujol makes you "regular as
clockwork." Start using it today.
ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS
There are no substitutes there is only Nujol
