The probable cost of the war, as estimated recently, is about one bil- lion dollars per month. The belliger- ent nations have already borrowed over four billion dollars and one can easily discern that by the time the war ends the fighting nations will be totally bankrupt.
 More than two million men have been wounded and many will leave the hospitals with permanent injuries thereby lessening their earning power through life
 The millions of men who are fight ing will be thrown back into civil life with nothing to do but starve. There will be more applicants than positions and taxes will be staggering
 When the men once awaken they will realize what a foolish thing the war was.
 As to the effect the war is having on the U. S., it is no small thing. During the first four months of the war our exports were smaller by a quarter Of billion dollars than in the preceding year.
 How long the nations at war can hold out is not known, but it certain ly cannot be a very great while as most Of the nations are calling forth their last reserves, which include many boys under IS years of age.

FOR HOW LONG?
SprindaIe Raises Pertinent Cues
 tion

When a neighbor tells Us that he has recovered from serious illness, the first question that naturally aris- es is, How long will he keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but lasting cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the following Springdale evidence proves beyond a doubt.
 Mrs E. Fischer. Holcomb St, Springdale, says: T suffered for months from distressing backache pains through my kidneys, headaches, dizzy spells and a tired, languid feel ing My kidnyes gave me great deal of annoyance and the kidney se- cretions were unnatural A couple of boxes of Doans Kidney Pills cured me Statement given April 29, 1911.)
 OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs. Fischer said "I firmly believe that Deans Kidney Pills have given me a permanent cure and I am glad to let you keep on using my endorsement Others in my family have used Doans Kidney Pills and in every case, the best of results have been had

Laws Against Noise.

Germany has probably the most
complete laws in the world against
superfluous noise. For noises annoy
ing the public in general" an indi-
vidual can be fined up to ct, or else
imprisoned. For instance. barking
dog or caokling fowl which disturbs
a school makes its owner liable under
the law. In Berlin it is forbidden to
transport through the streets arti-
Giles such as sheet iron, chains, and
other metal objects liable to make q
noise. unless packed SO as to be
n0iseiess. New ordinances, now com.
ing into force, forbid not only music
in the streets without police permits
sion. but also forbid music to be
played or sung in the buildings where
It can be heard in the streets.

But the goldenrod is probably more

species and sub-species as one. There
are goldenrods that bloom in June.
There are several that come in July
and are dry and colorless stalks when
September arrives. Though the how-

blossomed and, in the case Of many

UNNECESSARY TO RISK LIFE

That Mskss Arrest Of Dangerous
Person Easy.

Bullet-proof armor and revolvers
discharging cartridges containing q
suffocating gas, were used by the
French police in securing a demented
woman who was firing at everybody
within sight These weapons were
provided for the special police after
the downfall Of the motor bandits.
The scene OF their use was Neuilly.
The woman had barricaded herself In
her room, and from her window she
hred upon anyone who passed by.
A force o. police, protected by
breastplates and carrying the gas-dis-
charging reviewers, went to the house.
They were received with volley, but
on reaching TIE door of her room they
fred the gas charges through hole
In the woodw ork. In a few minutes
the woman fell unconscious to the
floor, and the men were able to secure
her and take her away without the
least trouble. It Is said that, though
the gas thus fired causes almost I'm

after effects.

When the Work Piles Up.

We can get any amount Of work
done by taking It a moment at a
time. It Is when we try to take IL
several moments at time that 1t
gets beyond US. A business man had
a pile of work in front Of him on his
desk, and was "stewing around" over
it, and saying how tremendously busy
he was, when another man said to
him. You're not busy; you're only
confused Seeing and thinking
about more than one thing at a time
brings the confusion that multiplies
burdens and hinders the work. Il
lie sometimes well to clear our desk
Of everything except the one thing
upon which we must be working; then
to take up the next thing; and so on
until the days work Is done. Concen-
tration routs confusion. Doing ono
thing at time gets an amazingly
large number Of things done.-Sun-
