U. D. c. RECEPTION

The ladies of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy
held a most delightful meas
uring" reception at the home Of
Mr.. J. M. Morris on last Satur-

We sincerely hope our good
people will rally to the support

Gently cleanse your liver and

Get a 1O-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

liver; delayed, fermenting food in the

Poisonous matter clogged in the in.

blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue 1t causes con-

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver

Thin. brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
OF its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
II not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine

Ammunition Used In War.

How much ammunition does mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been ex-
pending; but we know what the Ger
mans used in 1901. The total for
rifles was 100000 cartridges, for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege Of Strassburg alone cost.
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used in all the
decisive battles and actions through
out the whole war. OF course these
figures are mere bagatelie COM
pared with those of the present strug-
gle, with its millions of soldiers and
its quick-firing guns and its week-long

Remarkable Report.

Secretary McAdoo's annual report
will always rank as historical docu-
ment of great value in the annals of
American finance because it tells the
official story of the financial opera
tions incident to the outbreak of the
world war of 1914, from the govern
ment point OF view On the purely
financial side, this administration is
destined to bulk large in history for
two, reasons: The new federal re.
serve banking system is one; the un.
precedented financial crisis caused by
the war is the other. The secretary
of the treasury in this report, reviews
episode after episode since August 1
that combined will hereafter make
one of the most memorable chapters
in the history of the treasury depart
ment. Future students of this period
will marvel that the Wilson admins.

ALIVE TO SITUATION
Administration Is Awake to
Needs of National Defense.
Able Report Of Secretary Of War Gar
rison Should Convince the coun-
try That the Matter Is in
Safe Hands.

II any honest and sincere person
has really believed that the Wilson
administration was Indifferent to the
question OF national defense and not
! fully alive to its responsibilities in
the unlikely event of war his doubt
should be removed by an unbiased
reading OF the very able report OF
Secretary of War Garrison and OF the
testimony of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels before the naval committee of
the house Of representatives. Espe.
cial significance attaches to the views
of Secretary Garrison, because it is
well known that he more than any
other member of the cabinet Is The
chosen confdant of President Wilson.
II was because of the presidents con-
fidence in the excellence of his judg
ment that he was elevated from his
judicial post in New Jersey to his
present position, where he has fully
INDICATED the faith placed in him.
When President Wilson's message
to congress and the report of the Sec
rotary, which, of course, was first
submitted to the president, are taken
in conjunction they form a very adj
mirable statement OF the attitude OF
the administration toward the whole
question of national defense, The
president, refusing to yield to any
passing hysteria, eloquently stated
the traditional position of the people
of the United States toward war. and
his opposition to a large standing
army. Entirely consistent with this
position is Secretary Garrlson's adj
vocacy OF increasing our present small
army by adding $4,000 men and in
other ways Strengthening the military
power of the government His other
wise suggestions, based upon care.
full study of our present defenses,
doubtless reflect in detail the views
which the president stated in general
form in his message.
In all the information which the ad
ministration has readily placed before
the committees of congress there has
been no disposition to withhold any
thing, to gloss over defects or eXag-
gerate dangers. President Wilson and
his advisers have shown that they are
making the best possible use Of the
resources at hand. That is all that
the American people wish them to do.

Strange Scorpion Found.

"A curious, strange specimen of liz.
ard or scorpion was captured by Wal.
ter T. Todd near the trolley station
of the Chambersburg, Greencastle C
Waynesboro Street Railway company
at Highfeld, Pa. The reptile, or what
not was about eight inches in length
and the color of brick dust. 1t was
found lying on the ground only few
feet from the station and, on account
of the rain and cool weather, was UNI
able to use its locomotive powers very
actively and was easily captured.
The reptile had an elongated body
without scales, four short legs and
short tail, and its body was almost as
tough as rubber. Where 1t came from
no one seems to know.

Colonel Carter had been playing golf
