Military Expenses
Are Very High

Six leading European governments and
the United States spend about five thou
sand million dollars year. More than
a fourth of it goes for military purposes
by land and sea. Except here and in
England military service is universal
and compulsory. Practically everv adult
male must give to or three years of his
life to training for national defense.
Abo 1t three million men, in five ma
tions, are thus withdrawn from pro-
ductive occupations and supported by
the remainder of the population.
Taxes are a fairly crucial subject
among important countries all over the
world. Engand's present throes over
the budget forced primarily by in
creased military expendiitures-are Sim
ply typical. Germany's ministry, not
long ago, was wrecked on the same
rock. In Italy, France and Russia the
problem is most troublesome. There is
abroad the standing and very trouble
some problem of unemployment; and OF
late money has been growing scarcer
while interest rates rise, threatening
some curtailment of industry. Mean
while, the larger European governments
except Great Britain, go on borrowing.
Everybody agrees that the situation. is
unpleasant; here and there il seems
almost menacing. A few agree that the
annual waste, among the great powers
Ialone, OF billion and half of dollars
Ffcr ships, guns and powder, and the
maintenance of three million mer
practically in idleness, cause not in
considerable part of the unpleasar tness.

Health Receipts
For the Foolish

IF you feel sort Of run down go i'm
mediately to one of the big skyscrapers
in your town and ask the elevator boy TO
run you up.
If you suffer from insomnia light
your lamp and read William James on
Praematism backward forty times with
out stopping. You will find it helpful.
If your spirit is worn out, and you
fird Yourself discouraged because you
are down and on your uppers, 60 at
once and have yourself resouled.
If you lack confidence in Yourself,
take run over into Egypt, and loiter
about the Saraha until you have acquired
all the sand you need.
If some dainty maid has thrown you
down so hard as to break your heart,
gather up the pieces and ask some other
maid TO put them together again.
If you suffer from a frightful tooth
ache, 90 to your dentist and let him pull
your leg. This will lower the seat OF
the pain very materially.
II your ears are frozen in an April
snowstorm, do not be downcast. May
will be here shortly and thev will surely
thaw.
II you have bad toothache 60 out up
on the highway and get into row with
a eleverer man than yourself. In the
excitement OF the fracas you may loose
your head
If your eyelids are red and in a bad
condition generally, walk down Fifth
avenue and look at the pretty girls that
pass by you. Some OF them are good
for sore eyes.
If your stomach goes back on you,
turn around and walk the other way five
miles each day and you will soon catch
up with il again.
If your eyes get out of focus so that
you see everything double, call upon the
girl of your heart and comfort yourself
with the thought that they are both
yours. -Harper's Weekly.

EXPENSES
Showing How Facts and
Heavy Figures Could
Be Reduced

If every hundred dollars OF property in
the United States we're made to pay
about one dollar and seventy cent year
in taxes the revenue so derived would
meet all expenses Of government
Federal, state and local. There would
be 40 need OF customs duties or of in
ternal revenue taxes to support the
federal government or of the great
sums which states and cities raise by
license fees, franchise taxes and the
like. This statement is based upon the
latest figures of governmental dlsburse-
ments supplied by the statistical bureau
of the treasury.
According to the same authority, each
hundred dollars of property that is di-
rectly taxed at all pays two dollars and
five cents year, and that doesn't half
meet the bills 1t produces only seven
hundred and Twenty-Five million, while
the governments Federal state and
local-spend seventeen hundred mil
lion The farmer or small householder
pays his two dollars and five cents on
each hundred, and then has to chip in
his share of the additional billion dol
lars-made up of customs duties, inter-
nal revenue taxes, license fees which
the governments spend.
Total cost of running the govern
nents-Federal state and local
amounts to about twenty dollars a head
year. or hundred dollars for family
Of five. A totally thriftless person may
escape his share, and an exceedingly
thrifty person may escape his, But we
surmise that great body of reasonably
thrifty head of families pay more than
their share. Except as regards the tariff
very little is heard of this subject in
politics, and yet it is obviously big
suject Said an experienced member of
an Illinois taxing body the other day ::
"Under tine laws now on our statute
books it is absolutely impossible to
make an equitable assessment. "-Satur
