If General Pershing had as much
to say about the disposition of the
American troops in Mexico as Car
ranz aseems to have, we should soon
get Villa, dead or alive. But while
Carranza can give his orders that the
force shall not move in any direction
except toward home, and those orders
are obeyed at Washington, the situa-
ton looks great deal like an expen-

NO NEED OF A HALF NICKEL


The Director of the Mint asks Con-
gress to permit him to coin a two
and-a-half-cent nickel. We hope that
Congress will refuse his request.
Directors of the Mint like to have
variety in the coinage. They told
Congress that the people demanded a
two-cent piece and three-cent piece.
Both are more rati nal coins than a
two-and-a-half-cent piece, but they
were nuisance in use and afte: a
While Congress stopped their further
coinage and they are now seldom seen
and never wanted.
If we have a two-and-a-half-cent
coin we should have a half-cent piece
and that is not proposed. Ii one
should buy two-cent paper and ten
Ger in payment one of these two-and-
a-half-cent pieces he would lose his
change. as it could not be made.
The present minor coinage is good
enough; only at present the mints are
not turning out enough of it. We
want more cents and more five-cent
nickels. but want no two-and half
cent coins to confuse and exasperate
the people in daily small transactions
when change has to be made quickly.

: Of the sixty-four persons killed in
the streets of New York during No
IN. ~
yember, forty-six owed their deaths to
automobiles, nine to trolleys and nine
to wagons. The figures as compared
with those for November, 1915, show
an increase of motor-car fatalities by
seventeen, while wagons and trolleys
together caused an increase of seven.
To the automobile thus belongs the sin
lister distinction of being the main
menace to street safety and of becom-
ing a worse menace with the passing

Diet squads are taking the centre
of the stage in various parts of the
country, but what do they prove? 1t
is not the cost of food as officially
regulated that is attracting attention
at this time. Examples of that may
be found in army camps; even in pen
itentiaries. The problem in the great
cities embraces rent and clothing as
well as food, and no spectacular
squads are at work upon it.

OPEN THE WINDOWS

Something novel in the way of
weeks began yesterday in New
York, where the Health Department
appealed to citizens to keep their
windows open. Under certain condi-
tons of temperature this would be a
counsel of perfection. But there is
no question of the value of fresh air
or the too frequent absence of it from
the closely sealed American house.
Most of the colds from which people
suffer have their origin in Overheat-
ing. The fireplace, ineffective as it
cften was on a cold day, involved
fewer dangers than the steampipe,
that enemy of ventilation. Ours is a
trying climate in many respects, and
there are those who need special pro-
lection from its rigors. Yet the grow
ing use Of sleeping verandas is tes-
timony to the virtues of accustoming
the body to moderate amount of ex-
posure. The close, foul air of most
of our public buildings, with hall
ways often up to eighty or more.
breeds disease as well as discomfort.
Doubtless fresh-air crusades, like 9TH
ser movements, may be carried to ex-
tremes. But, considering American
habits in general, that danger is not

THE EGG BOYCOTT

Again there is a campaign for boy
York and Chicago, where the trail Of
the egg-trust is particularly evident,
and is spreading throughout the coun-
try For two weeks housewives are
asked to stop buying eggs. Then, it
is expected, the price will drop to a
reasonable level.
fs The price will fall, no doubt, if con-
sumers stop consuming. Eggs will be-
come cheaper for little while, at
least. A sudden let-up in the demand
: scarces the spectators, and the. at
itendant publicity scarces them still
more Even if the big holders stand
pat, waiting cynically for the storm
! to blow over and the inevitable de-
! mand to come surging back, the little
fellows yield. And the necessity of
selling eggs already in the hands of
wholesalers lowers current prices.
| If the public hangs together, it can
do considerable debating of prices,
attacking first this and then that line
of foodstuffs, upsetting the plans of
the spectators and monopolists and
I, squeezing out much of the exorbitant
profits that are possible under our
present loose and lawless storage
: system.

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing a
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
surethat nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats OF punishment if
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitfuf appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
Dr. Williams Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens girl lays the foun-
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest Importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.

liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the

storms or other causes.

SLOTIuS Ut OlucT CAUSES.
AS result of this system every street
in Washington has uniform trees, uni
form in size and kind. Massachusetts
Avenue is street of lindens, as beauti-
full as the lindens of Berlin; Connecticut
Avenue has sycamores; New York Ave-
nue. is the street of elms; the park in
front of the White House is lined with
the ancient Chinese ginko trees.
1t was because of this sci entific method
of handling the city's shade trees that
Washington was the first to discover the
superior qualities of the ginko as a city
tree. Biologists say that the ginko is
the oldest of all trees. Its leaves are
found in fossil rock where the leaves of
other contemporary trees are unknown.
The ginko is shapely in form and pos
sesses thick shade. Also it is tough,
withstanding the hardest windstorms.
Washington is doing away with maple
trees, beautiful, but too fragile wind
storms are constantly stripping them of
branches.
