4 DIFFERENCE.

While European nations are spend
irg approximately 100000 900 a day
ia prosecuting war, the United States
Is creating wealth at about the same
ratio. Furthermore it is spending
this wealth wisely and 3udiciously
much Of it being used to promote the
welfare Of the people generally. In
the year 1914 by requests and bene-
factions nearly $40O,0OO,OO0 were Civ
en- through institutions, organizations
and charities to the benefit of the
American people And in 1915 up to
this time in 1916, several hundred
millions have been given in a like
manner for the public good, and to the
end that the people directly or indi-
rectly share in the growing wealth of
tie country. Furthermore as a reflex
o. the European war, capital has en-
gagged in production activities to such
an extent as to practically insure the
prosperity already secured by agri-
hlral and mineral productions.
All of this goes to show the wond-
erful possibilities Of this country as
contrasted with that Of Europe, and to
emphasize the fact Of the vast super
iority Of this country over that. in

FAITH AND INEFFIENCY.

Faith and efficiency go hand in hand
but faith and inefficiency haven othing
in common. They are as far apart as
the two poles, and the two together are
the most unfailing masters that a ma
ton can take for ruin and disaster.
The age of miracles is past, and the
age of reason is enthroned, and we
are in an epoch of bombs and howitz-
ers, of big guns and high explosives.
Prearedness is the slogan that
America should adopt, and her battle
cry should be down with these apos-
ties of peace at any cost" and their
Peerless leader-they are menace ia
tie country, and should be squelched
They would bind our young giant OF
the Western world lest he defend
himself. He the free born they would
deliver into captivity. Weakness is
not virtue, neither is inefficiency a
merit. Strength is of God and no ma
ton can be absolved from the duty OF
self-preseryation.
At Valley Forge wour fathers
pcnniless and hungry froze and starry
ed in order to win for us this glorious
land of ours. Today we stand head
and shoulders above all others. We
have the richest country the sun ever
looked upon, but they, these peace al
any price" adherents, seem to grudge
us the money to make safe the coun-
try that our fathers fought and died
for. They grudge us the cost of de-
Tense and would put us thereby at the
mercy of the rest of the world. But,
American citizens remember this, it
is taxes or mems lives-choose! Let
not mankind be again cruoifed on the
altar of gold.

HAIR.
(BY GEORGE FITCH

Hair is a material used by the Great
Architect TO tnatch the human dome Of
thoGg.t It comes late and leaves
early, like a fashionable guest, and
does 10 Rorl while it remains. New
ertheless, it Is greatly beloved, AMI
there is no sadder sight than that of
man CT Fifty bidding goodbye TO his
lair.
Women wear their hair as long as
possible, and do it up in a great va
riety Of rolls, coils, loops, braids, puffs,
waves, waterfalls, explosions, cascades,
turrets, colonades, wings, apses, and
flying buttresses. Men also wear their
hair as long as possible, which &C
counts for the great prosperity of hair
tonic manufacturers.
Hair comes in a great many coIors,
Including black, brown, yellow, grey,
album, titan, blonde and bronze.
Some very frank people also have red
hair. Red hair is noted because Of
tie prominence with which it stands
out on the landscape, and the infam-
inability which it is supposed to i'm
part to the disposition. Red-haireI
men are usually good fighters, but this
lis because they had plenty of practice
in their youth.
Hair is affixed to the scalp in a care
less and Intellectual manner, particu-
larly in the case of man, and after ad.
herring to it's owner for a few decades
it usually begins to lose its grip. This
causes badness, which is sadly alluded
to as a sign of wisdom by great many
men whose foreheads sweep majestic
ally back to their collars. AS a rule the
hair retreats in an orderly and digni-
fed manner, but occasionally it plays a
Edastardy trick by retiring from the
sides, leaving a small and lonesome
oasis of hair in the middle of vast and
shining desert.
Hair is reduced to order by means of
a brush and comb, by means of which
neat furrow, called part" can be
made. Formerly the hair was parted in
the middle, like the republican party
but men whose heads are heavy enough
to retain their balance under the
strain now wear the part on one side
Hair Is harvested once a month by =
barber, who will also wash, SINCE, mas
sage, oil, grease and electrify it, uu-
less the owner watches him carefully
In old age hair becomes white and
beautiful
