Zinc in War Time.

Zinc is so essential in war time
that it has risen enormously in price.
Costing originally only two-fifths as
much as copper, it now costs decided
ly more than copper. in spite of the
fact that copper itself has sharply
increased in value. Zinc is a con-
stituent Of cartridge brass and shell
fuses, and is used also as a covering
for iron barbed-wire fencing. In 1918
the United States, Germany and Bel
GUM were the leading producers of
zinc.
OF the three, only the United States
smelted domestic ores. Belgium and
Germany relied mainly on zinc con-
centrates that they imported from the
Broken Hill mines in New South
Wales, where, for one reason and an
other, it does not pay to do the smelt-
ing. France, Spain and Great Britain
also produce substantial quantities,
but not enough to supply their own
needs. Austria and Germany have
considerable deposits of ore in Silesia,
Hungary, Carinthia and the Tyrol. AS
the zinc-smelting furnaces of Great
Britain are not well adapted for deal
ing with the Broken Hill concentrates
it buys the bulk of its supplies from
the United States.

Starts Your LIVER Without Making You
Sick and Cannot Salivate
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's drug
gist-has noticed a great falling
off in the sale Of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking it's
place.
.'Calomel is dangerous and
people know it. while Dodson's
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs
so cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
~ant-tastIng, purely vegetable
remedy, harmless to both chill
dren and ADULTS. Take a spoonful
at night and wake up feeling
fine, no biliousness. sick head
ache, acid stomach or c%onstipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause
inconvenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose
of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose a days work!
Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, full of ylgor

Jury Acquits Former Hero,

Acquittal by the jury at the Gers
(France) assizes of the charge OF for
gerry, for which he was sentenced by
default to 20 years penal servitude,
will be priced by Second Lieutenant
Pechin as a greater reward for his
gallantry in this war than his stripe,
the medaille militaire and even the
Legion Of Honor, which he has won
by honorable wounds in battle.
Business misfortune drove Pechin
to forgery and he fed to the Ivory
coast, where he toiled until he had
paid back every penny he owed. Then
when the war came he hesitat-
ed, but enlisted under an alias as a
private, and now that honors were to
be showered on him he was discov-
cred and~all seemed lost, but the

Fast upon the heels of the de-
feat of a division of her navy by
the German fleet. comes the an
nouncement of the sinking of a
British cruiser with Earl -Kitch-
ener and his staff.
The loss of the vessels the past
week were serious and in a
measure destroyed the efficiency
of the British blockade against
Germany. Earl Kitchener and
his staff, while en- route to Russia
on a military mission, went down
on board the cruiser, Hampshire.
Lord Kitchener was the head of
the military of Great Britain and
to him the allies looked for their
directions in their efforts to de-
feat Germany and her allies.
His record as a soldier had won
for him the confidence of his
people and they placed their
hopes in his power to crush their
enemies. With this loss the peo-
ole are demoralized and the hope
of ultimate success will de d.
minished.
Lord Kitchener predicted that
the war would be a long one and
placed three years as the short
est period within which it would
be ended. This prediction seemed
we'll laid, and With him. at the
head O.. the British.forces there
was no danger of immediate de-
feat for the allies. To find a
leader to take Kitchener's place
will be no light task, but emer-
gencies develop leaders. At no
time since the war began, have
the allies sustained losses so ap-
parentIy serious asIthose of Eng
land within the past ten days.
She must maintain the blockade
against Germany. or all will be
lost. 1t would be a sad day for
the world should England's navy
become impotent in a contest
with the Germans. The war
could not continue many months
without the British navy.
With Germany's success Prus-
sian militaryism would have to
be reckoned with by the nations
of the earth.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTIONS

The National conventions of
the Republicans and Progressive
parties are assembled in Chicago
and the country at large is eager
ly watching the outcome of their
work.
With the Republicans Justice
Hughes is pitted against the field
and odds are being waged on
him as the winner of the nomi-
nation. The Progressives are so
enthusiastically for Ex- president
Roosevelt that it seems assured
that he will be the nominee of
that party, regardless of what
the Republicans may do, although
a strong effort has been made by
the leaders of both parties to
name a compromise candidate
with whom a coalition fight may
be made against President VIII
son. Roosevelt has declared
against Hughes and there seems
to be but little likelihood Of the
two parties getting together with
either Hughes or Roosevelt as a
candidate.

THERE'S WORK FOR
ALL in THIS CAMPAIGN
E UP N PAINT UP
Women Can Take aLeading Part
in This Movement for Beau
tiful, Sanitary and Safe
Home Towns.
By LOUISE KEEPER, Chairman Civic
Committee, Ohio Federation
of Women's Clubs

vN7oMEN are housekeepers. They
wv r apt to SEE more clearly the
need of municipal housekeeping
than are men. Through our clubs we
have an excellent opportunity to lead
mclean Up and Paint Up" work. Here
are some pointers for women who
would help regenerate their commu-
nifty with a real Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaign:
Each campaign involves the renova-
ton of the interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and use
less things is most important.
Some revenue can be derived from
the sale of waste paper.
During the "C1ean Up and Paint Up
campaign is a good time to have rub
bish cans placed upon street corners,
for the deposit OF paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of a town than the liberal
s of paint.
Useless and unsightly ou~tbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub
bish ~accumulates in cellars, under
stairways, in storerooms, passageways,
and in the rear of hotels and restau.
rants. Look out for RATS here,
A clean yard is not sufficient; it
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and
trees.
The thresholds of a town should be
made inviting to the visitor.
This is a good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances Of the town,
How about the regulations in regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure piles. splitting,
toilets, etc? Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint a committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
It is very important that the "Clean
Up and Paint Up idea be impressed
upon the minds OF school children.

"CREATER THAN FIRE LOSS"
BY PROF. H. H. KING
Kansas State Agricultural Coll,


Kansas State Agricultural College.
= ACK of paint causes a great
err annual loss through de-
t%erioration than the aggre-
gate Kansas fire loss for twelve
months. Yes, there is much
more reason for a real Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaign
than the average layman would
at first recognize.
Paint, as has often been said,
serves more than the mere pur, +.
pose of decoration. It's principal
value lies in the fact that it pro-
longs the life of the surfaces
painted.
Wood and iron, on exposure
to the air, undergo a slow proc
s of oxidation, which just as
surely destroys them as though
they were set on fire, the diff
ference being the speed at which
the reaction occurs.
We take out insurance to COW
er loss by fire and should just as
surely put on paint to cover loss
by decay. 1t takes very little,
calculation to discover the ap-
parently astounding fact that
the loss through lack of paint
ing is greater in Kansas thar
the loss by fire.
When the property owner
comes to a full realization of the
true reason for painting there
will be no need for public-spir-
tied people to back up a Ma
tional Campaign for such a pur
pose.
