WAR ECONOMIES
INTRODUCED IN
THE PHILIPPINES

Manila, P. T., June 6-War econo-
my for the Philippine Islands has had
its first exemp1ificatfon in sweeping
executive order issued by Governor
General Harrison advising every gov
care in the consumption Of supplies.
He urged upon every government bu-
reau the necessity, in view of the adj
vent of war, the possible increase of
prices, and the present and future
shortage of cargo space on the Paci-
fic, of economizing at every turn and
using, wherever possible, native ma
terials instead tof imported goods. !
This step is the first taken by the
government to impress upon it's em-
ployes the necessity for wartime
economy though the heads of depart
ments have been practicing 1t for two
years. Careful and far-sighted buy
ing has prevented the Insular Gov
ernment from feeling the war as have
commercial houses and the general
public. II
In the commercial field prices have
arisen to a very high level and there
are now a number Of government

entered the market as distributor

children of poor families of the city
and is contemplating the purchase of
other necessary commodities to pro-
tect the Filipino poorer classes.

WRAPPED ROUND A CORPSE


Chicago, June 5-With the dead
body of a woman for target, the
bullet proof cloth invented by. Casmir
Zef1en, q clustered brother of the Or
der of the Resurrectionists, was tested
last evening at the Chicago College
of Dental Surgery, in the presence of
a number of professors, army officers
and citizens interested in the science
of bodily armour. The test was con-
Quoted under the supervision of Lieut..
Stanislaus de Korwon Sarnecki of the
Austrian army.
A "A calibre revolver was first put
into practice after the upper portion
of the body had been encased in the
alleged impenetrable cloth. Thirty
shots failed to pierce the cloth fred at
a distance of from to Is PAGES. A
So calibre revolver was then brought
into use and the representative Of the
inventor demonstrated that it was
impossible to puncture the material
with such a missile. While the cloth
or outerportion of the armor had been
disfigured by slightly an examination
later by DR.. Leonard G. Borland re-
yealed the fact that two of the ribs
on the right side of the body had been
shattered by the force Of the bullet
coming in contact with the bullet
proof cloth
Aside from the bruises in those parts
of the body which the bullets had
come in direct contact there was no
indication that the bullets had been
directed against it.

When You F eel Tired.
No Appetite, Headache
(By w. M. GRANTIER. M.D.)

If your wife tells you that you are
.'grouchy'' and out-of-sorts, be thank
full for the suggestion. and set to work
to get your liver busy for it is more
than likely that its inactivity is at the
bottom Of your trouble. DON'T blame
your liver for not doing it's work. You
have undoubtedly been giving it too
much to do. You may have coca
sionaI headaches, feel tired, no appe-
tite, and coated tongue, and this con-
dition may lead UP to other things. At
such times you are the easiest prev
for colds. grip, or the disease germs
of malaria, typhoid, the deadly phthi-
sis. or the many ills which carry off
so many Of our citizens.
My advice is, give up alcohol, tea
and coffee. If you must drink some
thing with your meals let it be a cup
of hot water. Begin in the morning
with a pint of hot water with a half
lemon squeezed in it, if possible, and
drink it a half hour or less before
breakfast.
Take a, few minutes Of bending ex-
ereise and breathing in the morning.
Walk in the outdoor air. Occasion
ally, say, once a week, take good
laxative, one that is entirely vegeta-
BILE. A good one is that made. up of
the extract of May-app1e, vegetable
calomel, and sjalap, and can be had
at every drug store, for it has been
sold for nearly SO years as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
If you are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain in the back, toes or muscles of
the body, this is due to uric acid
stored in the system. The liver and
kidneys do not act properly. For such
a person, I advise taking Anurfc
double strength) three times daily
for a week or two. This Anuric throws
out the uric acid which Accommodates,
and if taken occasionally will prevent
or cure rheumatism and govt. There
is no difficulty in obtaining Anuric at
any drug store.-Adv.

improvements soon to be made is the
addition of special cars for the Hous-
atomic and Naugatuck roads. This will
save passengers from New York for
points on these roads the trouble of
changing cars in this city and STRAIT
ford.
The cars intended for this work are
now being manufactured. The public
will appreciate the endeavors of the
present managers to make this great
thoroughfare complete in every de-
tail, and when the contemplated i'm
provements shall be completed we
predict there will be no ground upon
which to found a complaint. Under
their judicious management the road
will not only become a favorite with
travellers but a paying institution for
the stockholders.

GERMAN SUBJECT
BUYS BOND TO HELP
US. BEAT KAISER

A German alien enemy walked into
one OF the Rome IN. W banks and
purchased a $50 liberty Loan bond.
When 1t came his turn to see the
bank official, he aroused the latter
suspicion by carefully asking three or
four times if there were any people
who could not bury bonds If they had
the money. He also wanted to know
when a person bought bond If his
name became public in any way. The
banker thought he was dealing with
a demented person until he questioned
him more closely and then it deveI-
oped that he was German born, still
a subject of the Kaiser and Recervfst
He came to this country and to Rome
three years ago and since then has
been working in one OF the big copper
mills. His wife and everybody to
whom he is related lives in Southern
Germany.
His caution and his insistent ques-
lions, it developed, were because he
feared If his bdentity became known
he might be subjected to danger at
the hands OF German agents. He went
on to say, that in various ways he had
been able to send money to Germany
to his mother and wife until the last
few weeks. What he had saved since
he wanted to put into a Liberty Loan
bond. He was asked how he Thought
he could consistently do this and he
said In rather broken English:
My woman and my mother are
starving in Germany because the
Kaiser vents the world. can't send
them any more money. So will save
my money and buy bonds to help the
United States which is going to end
the war and make Germany a repub-

INDEMNITY Are
!, AUSTRIAN TERMS
Czernin's Plan for Russian
Peace Without Annexa-
ton Approved

?Copenhagen, June 6.-Austro-Hun-
garian public opinion" as interpret
ed by the official Austrian Telegraph
patch purporting to summarize the
results of the press discussion of the
Dual monarchy's war aims, generally
supports the proposals of Count Ger
min, the Foreign Minister, for a peace
without annexations as far as Russia
is concerned. I
1t declares, however, that opinion
is opposed to the restoration Of Ser
bia as that nation existed before the
war, and demands the retention of
N ontenegro's mountain fortress, Low
chen; the creation OF an autonomous
Albania dependent upon Austria
Hungary; the extension of the from
tiers at Italy's expense; the establish
ment of a Balkan customs union de-
pendent upon Austria-Hungary, and
some form of war indemnity which
will recompense the monarchy for
the immense costs of the war and
bring about the economic revival of
the country.
Those familiar with the methods
of the Correspondence Bureau, which
is formally and officially a depart
ment Of the Austro-Hungarian For
eign office, in seeting forth public
opinion have slight hesitation in tax
ing the foregoing summary as a
| statement of Count Czernin's views
on peace terms, thus. making it evil
dent that his adhesion to the formula
of peace without annexations" ap-
plies only to Russia.
The demands regarding Italy are
phrased as increased and adequate
protection against renewed italian
lust of aggression" to the extent de-
| manded by the Austro-Hungarfan
military experts. which is another
way Of stating the formula of Arch
duke Frederick when he was still
generalissimo Of the imperial army
and at the height OF his success in
the Trentino offensive, that the OBJ
ject, in fact, was the necessary ex-
tension of the monarchy's frontier.
Regarding the customs union, the
| summary adopts the recently cabled
| phraseology of the Vienna "Neue
Freie Presse" regarding measures to
assure Austria Hungary commercial
| liberty and rights Of navigation Of
the Danube.
