SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
REPORT ON NOV. FIRST

Washington, ID. c., Oct 31-Re-
turns from the second Liberty loan
campaign reaching the treasury de-
partment early today gave no defin-
lite indication as to the total amount
subscribed. The full measure of the
nations response probably will not
be known definitely before the lat
ter part of the week.
There was nothing today at the
treasury on which to base an esti-
mate of the grand total of subscrip-
tons. 1t was assumed that the
banks were busy tabulating the to-
tails, which rolled in by the millions
Saturday, the final day of the cam
paign. Officials reasserted their be-
lief that the loan had passed $1,000
900, 900.
Next Thursday is the last day upon
which banks may make returns. All
subscription agencies, including the
26,000,000 banks in the country are
required by the treasury to have
their subscription lists and the 2 per-
cent of subscriptions required with
bond applications in the hands of the
reserve banks not later than that
date.

PLAIN MEANING OF SURTAX

reader asks what is the mean
ing of "Surtax' as used in war tax
measure. The word means an extra
additional tax. For instance, the
tax on a married mans income in
excess of $4,000 and up to $1,000, is
2 percent. At this point the Sur
tax attaches since incomes from
$4,000 to $500 is given a l cent ad-
ditional tax. If the income is from
$500 to $4,000 an additional 2
percent is added and so on up. The
tax climbs higher and higher as the
incomes increase until if mans
income is $4,000 the tax is 25 per-
cent and if $1,000, 100000, so per-
cent. 1t is thus seen that the very
wealthy will pay very heavy tax;
that wealth is by no means escaping
as La Toilette would have the coun-
try believe. In addition to this tax,
if the man of great wealth has stock

Speeds Up the
Hogs Growth
Anti-Choleric Hog Remedy Proving
Worth to Iowa Hog Raisers as
Means of Producing Bigger
and Heavier Hogs
PREVENTS HOG CHOLERA, TOO

Hog raisers all through Iowa
are beginning to realize the true
worth of Anti-Cholera Hog Remedy
as a means for raising bigger,
healthier, and heavier hogs" says
Mr.. p b. Gravely, who is engaged
in directing the distribution of the
remedy throughout Iowa.
at is proving to those who use
it that it not only speeds up the hogs
growth, but also aids their digestion
purifies the hogs blood, relieves con-
stipation, drives out intestinal
worms, increases appetite, and &C
ually prevents hog cholera"
"If your hogs are stunted, won't
eat, hair is turned the wrong way,
or show other signs CT cholera, just
mix Anti-Choleric Hog Remedy with
their food. In a few days you'll see
the results in well, happy, and
healthy hogs"
A ti-Choleric Hog Remedy is not
a food. 1t is a medicine produced
after years of study and research
work to keep the hog well and
healthy. That it does the work is
proven by the fact that it has been
staple remedy with the breeders
in the famous Virginia ham section
and is now being adopted by Iowa
hog raisers.

tanning one hundred doses and try

TONS OF SUGAR FOUND
STORED IN DIES MONIES

Federal Agent A. p Sherwood ant
Secretary II. J. Metcalf, of the state
council of defense found 1880
pounds of sugar stored in the White
Line Transfer, company warehouse
following inquiry made late Tues
day afternoon.
The sugar is reported to belong
to the firm of Seavey & Florshein
of Omaha.
The discovery was made at time
when Des Moines consumers are
clamoring in vain for sugar; when
wholesale and retail grocery estab
lishments are without a pound and
are unable TO obtain any; when the
Chamberlain-the largest hotel in
the city-is down to a point where il
reports only twelve pounds of sugar
in the house.
Food Administrator James F
Deems of Burlington, reported over
the long distance telephone today
that he had wired Washington as to
what authority he would have to
take over this sugar and see that il
was distributed.
The firm has had a local agent
here, it is reported, but had notified
the transfer company to accept nc
orders from him.
There were $50 bags and $50 bar
rels of the sugar. 1t was shipped
to Iowa from California. A part
of it is'said to have been imported
from Hawaii.
Administrator Deems reported
that some time ago a carload of sug-
q T. w GhinnnA n Coli
fornia under his name but before
reaching its destination it was re-
billed to another party, believed to
have been fictitious.
All authorities declare that the
sugar shortage is but temporary and
are advising housewives not to get
excited. Figures show that the
United States in the last two years
has been exporting sugar thirty-four
times as freely as in normal times.
Great Britain formerly secured
her sugar from Germany and Aus
tria. but now both Great Britain and
France get their supply from Ameri-
ca
Pleas Mills, president of the White
Line company, says that the sugar
concerning which inquiry is made
has been in the White Line ware
house about a week The sam
firm has been shipping sugar to the
White Line warehouse for several
years. The sugar is Hawaiian cane
sugar and was shipped from San
Francisco. He says usually the sug-
ar is sold out TO jobbers and does
not stay long in his ware house.
Wholesale grocers in Des Moines
Wednesday declared that they are
entirely out of sugar and cannot pro-
cure any. They stated that if they
can get possession of some of that
stored here they can sell ii immedi-
ately.
1--WE are anxious to buy sugar
said Warfield, Pratt Howell COM
pany.
Wholesalers say that they are be-
ing besieged and would welcome re-
lief.
Doubt was expressed concerning
the discovery of 151,50O pounds of
sugar stored in a local transfer house
by one Des Moines wholesale gro
GER. He said no profit, could be
realized by anyone by keeping sug-
ar in store. since maximum price
of S795 cents per hundred pounds
is fixed by law for the wholesale
dealer. On top of this price the re-
taller is allowed by the law profit
of twenty-five cents per hundred.
No matter how great the demand
or how long the sugar was held the
maximum price could not be exceed
ed in its sale unless the sugar was
disposed of by "bootlegging" method
he said.

Turning Over a
New Leaf
By, LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
Copyright by the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate)

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead who never to himself hath said:
I'm going to turn over new leaf this
year! I'll cut loose from the crowd of
fellows / cannot get away from when
have plenty of money, but who get out
of my way when they know I'm broke.
I'll cut down my cigar bill one1half. 1t
cuts my pride to see my cigar dealer
whisk by in his fine automobile, trudg-
ing along on foot. The same resolution
shall hold good in regard to my tailor,
who lives in fine house of his own, l
in boarding house. I'll let others help
to finance him this year. I'll chum
with a different set of men, choosing
young comrades who insist upon pay
ing their share of the way, instead of
men older and more canny than /,
who never pay out cent from their
own pocket, but make my friendship
for them their support.
"As for the girls (God bless them y
instead Of avoiding them I'll turn over
new leaf by picking out a nice girl
to WOO and wed. l find the longer
man puts off marrying the more he'll
rue it. Life Is unsatisfactory and in
complete to a man who hasn't the love
of some good noble woman, who loves,
trusts, looks up to him, and has his
welfare at heart. I'll stick closer to
business and see how much l can save
instead of how much l can spend, I'll
start by taking water instead of wine !;
by shaking dimes in my pocket, which
are to stay there, instead of shaking
dice. I'll make firm resolve that
nothing shall break to write ut least
one letter week to my dear old moth
er, whose anxious thoughts and pray
ers are always following me, as wei;

and then. I'll make my old father proud
of me. I'll cut out costly dinners at
restaurants, just to see and be seen
The little cafe round the corner where
the food is good and costs much less
will do me-"
It's the best thing a man could dc
to make such wise resolutions. The
point is, will he stick to them, turning
over new leaf which he would never
be sorry for? If he does not backslide
the year will be full of promise fol
him. He will be successful in business
and in love. BY the time the next yeal
rolls around he will probably not be {

Value of Fruit.

The value of fruit juice is well
known and it plays its part in the di-
etary of nine babies out of ten, or even
greater proportion; but fruit itself
is not so easy to pronounce upon. 1t
is perhaps easier to say what to avoid,
and this includes most decidedly any
thing stringy or containing pits. Or
anges are quite good, provided the
skin of each division is removed; so
are baked apples and stewed prunes,
the latter passed through a sieve so
that the skins are removed in the case
of children who are liable to digestive
disturbance.

They have been enormously given to
children, even mere babies, of recent
years, and with a carelessness which
is amazing. For everyone should re-
alize that the fibrous strings surround
ing them must be source of danger

thusiasts have claimed for them. They

is OLDEST CHRISTIAN NATION
Abyssinia's Claim to the Title Found.
ed on Technicality Entitled
to Credence.

Abyssina claims to be the oldest
Christian nation.
The claim seems founded on tech
nicalty entitled to credence, but
which has not accomplished much for
Christianity in the last nineteen hun
dred years.
Rulers of Abyssinia are proud of de-
scent from the queen of Sheba and
from Solomon as the result of the for
mer's visit to Jerusalem. AS Solomon
had many wives and an immense
harem he may have married the
queen of Sheba, but there is no testi-
mony to the fact other than the tradi-
tion in Abyssnia, which was the an
cient Sheba, with which the Jews had
large commerce. The country was
Christianized through monks from
Egypt. and ii is said that one of the
kings in the second century declared
Christianity the official religion, thus
antedating all other nations. The mat
ter Is really of only academic import
ance.
We are apt to think of the Abyssin-
ians as heather negroes stepped in the
deepest barbarism. On the contrary
they are a rather virile people, as all
who have attacked them know. They
have a civilization that is suited to
their environment. and while It may
not be up to the standard of splendor
which the queen of Sheba Is supposed
to have maintained, it is comfortable
enough for those who live there. Ir
recent years many explorers have
found much to surprise them, and 1t is
within the memory Of this generation
that Italy made an unsuccessful at
tempt to seize the country.
