CARD SYSTEM USED
INKEEP|NG HOUSE
German Scheme Is Deemed
Remarkable Piece of So
cial Organization.
ALL PEOPLE BUY ALIKE
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

BERLIN. November 22.-Housekeep-
ing on the card system is one of the
most remarkable pieces of social or
sanization ever attempted Consider
the magnitude of the task Of putting
a people OF 100000 upon rations, of
issuing equal doles to rich. poor. high
and low. from scanty stores. or con-
trolling from n central office every
ounce Of a nations foodstuff produc-
tion and importation in all articles
where supply is short. and. further
more. of determining profits and prices.
Housekeeping on the card system is
the most precise of all home manage
ment. One does not have to bother
ones head about the amounts of sup
plies necessary to purchase. One buys
according TO the coupons upon ones
allowance cards. just so much each
week-and there is no way in the world
TO increase the share. One novel fea-
ture of the card system is that it forces
equal division between the rich and
the poor. There is just enough of
many things when equally divided, and
little favoritism, slight disturbance
of the delicate balance determined by
the cards would bring about starva-
tion for the needy, would sap away
Germany's power for resistance.

Loss of Time in Purchases.

One great drawback the card svstem

This drawback Is the enormous loss NJ

ties Of making purchases under the
new system than those caused by ac-

Be sure to strain the lemon juice SO
no pulp gets into the bottle, then this

help to bleach, clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.

Main Streets About Completed
Contractors Hope to Finish Work
BY The Time Frost Flies.

Thompson-Graham Co., the contrac-
tors for the laying of the asphalt
streets for the city have commenced
the foundation work on Depot street.
A large portion of the street has al
ready been graded and the top coat
ing of sand put on and is being rolled,
the water system of packing Is being
employed in the construction of the
street.
Mr.. Thompson stated some time
ago that he would not begin the lay
ing of the asphalt upon the streets
until the streets had been built and
allowed to be used for some time,
in order that it could have ample
time to settle and be packed by the
traffic going over it.
After this had been done the streets
will then be thoroughly washed off
and all duck holes filled in with crush
ed stone and then the asphalt put
ON and thoroughly rolled, this method
Mr.. Thompson believes will absolu-
tely insure against any weak spots
in the construction of the street. The
sewer on South Garden street has
been completed and by the time Depot
street is all graded, South Garden will
be ready for the graders as the curb
ing is now being put down by Frank

The sewer on South Main street
will be completed in short time and
this work can also be rushed right

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful

are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus. root and all. lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or

tating the surrounding tissue or skin
\ small bottle of freezone will cost

VIZ ASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-Wil the u
w boat the aeroplane win the war?
This is the question which is foremost
IN the minds of all military authorities at present
"a question which during the next year is likely
to be answered After three years of constant
fighting, the has practically evolved into
duel between these two.
So far, the U-boat has had the advantage
owing to its ability to operate in all kinds of
weather. The aeroplane is handicapped by thick
atmosphere. Now, however, summer is here, with
long stretches of clear skies, affording excellent
opportunity for flying. Already the duel has be-
gun. Vive / aeroplane!
Unfortunately, Germany also has aeroplanes
and very efficient ones. While the U-boat has
been terrorzing the SEAS the German aeroplane
has been bombarding enemy towns until the civil
population of France and Great Britain is not
only discouraged but exasperated. During the past
few weeks there have been indignation mass meet
ings at which the people insisted that attacks be
made upon German towns that the German
civilian population might comprehend the nature
of such warfare. If it were once understood, the
people think, the German population would COM
pei their government to stop it.
On the battlefield, too, German aeroplanes
have been efficient and successful. 1t is only re-
Gently that the British and Italian armies have
been able partially to them from the sky,
thus binding the German artillery and winning
substantial victories.
1t is obvious that the side which develops the
greatest number of efficient aeroplanes is going to
have a considerable advantage. Indeed the in
vention of super-aeroplane by either side would
undoubtedly throw the victory to it, The aero
plane has already accumulated various improve
ments during the 1t has added to its speed
and to its weight-carrying capacity, while it has
benefited by several changes of engines and ap-
paratus. At the beginning of the war, an aviator
could photograph the enemy at no more than
eleven hundred feet; very good photographs
may be obtained at five and six thousand feet.
The United States, in entering the at this
STAGE has the benefit of the allies three years
perience. We know for instance, without fighting
three years to find out, that the aeroplane may
prove the decisive factor in the By this time
1t has become apparent that decisive naval vic
tory in unlikely, while on land 1t is likely to keep
on being drawn battle. The addition of more
forces on the land the could hardly make
any great difference one way or the other, Accord
ing to the latest verdict of the military authori&
ties but the addition of more submarines and aero
planes-especially aeroplanes-it is believed
would make a great deal of difference.
Thus the sooner the United States can man
ufacture aeroplanes and get them over to Europe
the nearer the defeat of the Germans. At least
so argues the national council of defense, which
is taking of our military problems. Thou-
