UNCLE HARRY Tells ABOUT THE COST OF THE WAR

"Joe and l were talking sbout the
war this afternoon, said Jimmy, as
he climbed into the porch hammock
along side of Uncle Harry, ''and while
we know il is costing an awful lot of
money. we were wondering Just how
much it amounted to; can you tell
|usfn
"'That's almost like asking me how
much damage FIRE will do while the
fire is still raging" said Uncle Harry.
"Well, can L you give us some ideaf'
inquired Joe.
81 can give you lot of figures, that
know will puzzle You almost as much
as though l were to ask you how many
grains of sand there are along the sea
shore of New Jersey. For example:
the other day the British government
announced that it was planning to
spend total of $500, 100000 if the
war lasts another year
Both boys whistled. and then jim
my said; ''That's five and half bill
lion dollars. isn't it3'
'And if the war lasts only six more
months the British government will
have to spend 10,50O,0O0 a day"
added Uncle Harry. Remember too,
that Great Britain is only one of the
: countries. The war is costing Ger
many, France, Austria, Russia and
Turkey millions and billions of dollars
also. The total cost to all the nations
Is so tremendous sum that only a
! banker or an expert whose business il
is to work in figures can form any idea
of what it all means in dollars and
cents. But l. can tell You this boys;

Where do the nations get all this

these costs of the war9'
The nations borrow the money,

Beautiful, Soft, Fluffy
Hair an Aid to Beauty

Who does not love head of pretty
hairl Some women think it is a gift
of nature and envy their more for
tunatc sisters. If your hair is not
fluffy, soft and lustrous; is falling
out, streaked, faded, brittle, or full
of dandruff and if the scalp itehes,
do not think it must always be that
way, for pretty hair is only matter
of care and proper nourishment of
the hair roots. Hair is something
like a plant-if neglected. it soon
withers and dies, while with little
attention it keeps fresh and beau
tiful.
Partisan Sage is a scientific prepa-
ration that supplies just the elements
needed to invigorate the hair roots
and stimulate the hair to grow long,
thick, fluffy, soft and lustrous. 1t
removes dandruff and quickly stops
itching head and falling hair. 1t is
the ideal hair tonic and scalp treat
ment for men, women and children
contains nothing injurious and is
delieately perfumed.
II. G. Kennedy or any drug coun-
ter can supply you with Partisan
Sage-it is inexpensive. You cannot
be disappointed with this delightful
and helpful toilet necessity, for the
first few days use will give your hair
the beauty and charm of youth

Our Country's Defense

81 haven t been in physical combat
with another human being since was
a boy says Secretary of War Garri-
son. Right now l can say to you that
l wouldn t fight another man; that l
wouldn t descend to a rough and tumble
fight in the street-but | know, and
you know, that | might walk out into
that corridor and meet a man who
would insult me in such a way that | d
punch him in minute, There are some
insults that can't he attended to in
any other way. Besides which there
are some assaults upon and threats
against ones life or one S property
that are made with force and can only
be successfully met by force.
"Now, then, nations are just like
individuals. We may say there is moth
ing that could force the United States
into a war-but down in our hearts we
know this ism I so We know the ma
tion might be insulted, just as you or
] might be, or that its existence or vital
interests might be threatend-and that
we would fly to arms in a minute
And that is why the War De-
partment is worrying about our army;
why it is worrying about our country S
defenses. The American Boy.

"The bankers, for the most part,
although some of it is loaned by the
peoples in the different countries, -
said Uncle Harry. ''But the govern
ments have to pay interest, and the
interest is so great that as rule
nations never pay off war loans; they
just keep on paying interest year in
and year out. Do you understand what
interest isf'
eyes indeed we do, said Joe. ''we
have our savings in the saving fund
and every year the saving fund com
pany pays us two cents for every dol
lar we have on deposit.''
"That $ it exactly" said Uncle Har-
~. "But with these war loans. the
sums of money that the governments
of the warning countries owe the bank
ers are so great that the governments
are never able to get enough money to-
gether TO pay back the loans to the
bankers. Even to raise the money to

they keep on taxing them, so that the

Cruisers Coal on the Run

The British cruisers which are
guarding the steamship lanes against
German raiders do not dare to relax
their vigilance for an instant. 1t is
dangerous for them to stop to take on
the necessary coal, and so an ingenious
method has been devised to enable them
to take coal on the run. The collier
that is to supply a cruiser with coal
gets into touch with her by wireless
and meets her at the appointed spot.

Bleaching Linen.

The linens OF olden days were handed
down from mother to daughter, but
such is far from being the case today,
owing to the difference in bleaching.
Where formerly it took months Of
sunshine and rain TO bring about the
desired Wilderness, now il is done in
two or three days by means of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach, ac-
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly. So it is not a poor idea to
buy linen which IS not yet bleached
white, as q few trips to the laundry
will remedy this, and in addition it 3
cheaper. for the bleaching process is
q costly one. Then, too, the use OF
~tabiecloths and sheets would be
heightened, appreciably, since over.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

This is a recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head Of the lnvalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator Of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms Of
intlammation-as ~backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as we'll
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it Is simply wonderful how sure
~ "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases Of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt. and invariably the pains and
stiffness which sc frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for . 50-cent package Of

"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DR.. Pierce for a large
trial package (1oc). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample Of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DR.. Pierce will report
to you without fee or charge.
NOTE. -"Anuric" is thirty seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid. and is a harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using n box-or moro In extreme
caCes-as "Anuric" thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the

In the Dashboard, directly under each
bracket, place a screw hook with the

a carpenter shop. Wash curtains, and
while wet run one Stat through frill
and place on brackets. Run other
Stat through hem and catch under

they will dry in beautiful folds. They
