ONE WAY TO CONSERVE.

ton Of white paper and a consequent
drop in price.

use than TO be daubed with red, blue

gobs Of distorted color in what are sup
posed to be comic Illustrations, but are

Rats for Soap.

Stockholm, July 2s By MaiD.-The
city authorities have begun a campaign
against rats by offering a reward Of
about 2l5 cents for every carcass de.
livered. While it is hoped thus to reduce
the rat plague considerably. the chief
end is to secure an important addition
TO the stocks Of fats available for the
making Of soaps and lubricants. The
rat carcasses are treated in a corpse
utilization establishment" where. after
the fat has been boiled out, what re-
mains is converted into a poultry food
South Sweden has for some time been
utilizing cadavers of various animals in
this way. a considerable amount OF fat
is also secured by skimming large con-
ainers placed in the sewers leading rrom
hotels, restaurants and other places
where there is an unavoidable waste
Of fat.

PARAGRAPH 367, l. D. R.
BY John NJ. OsISisOn, of the vigilantes

Let me quote paragraph of the most
used book in the training of modern
troops for battle:
When officers or men belonging to
fighting troops leave their proper places
to carry back, or to care for, wounded
during the progress of the action, they
are guilty Of skulking This offense
must be repressed with the utmost
vigor."
So run the words Of our infantry drill
regulations. No more medals Of honor
for dashing out of the firing line to
rescue the wounded comrade! SO long
as you can go forward-and fight-your
business is to go forward and fight
Wherefore the job OF picking up the
wounded and transporting them to the
rear becomes the business of specialists.
The efficient army has an efficient
sanitary train" In theory, every
wounded soldier has his chance to get
back, to receive the care of efficient
doctors and trained nurses.
In theory, the battalions OF mercy
behind the fighting front are equipped
to succor the wounded more swiftly,
more scientifically than any man bear.

the point where more men fall, wounded

PROTECT THE 3O.OOO.OOO.

The British board Of education re-
Gently demanded budget for the com.
ing year Of nearly $2O,O000O0 more
than last years. Both England and
France are Tightening up on school and
child welfare laws and planning to raise
their former standards of education.
They are devoting this increased amount
Of money. time and energy to the child
hood Of their lands in spite Of the ex-
ceodingly heavy burdens of the war
What does this mean, and what is its
warning to us? When the war broke
out, England and France-and other
belligerents, too-relaXed their school
and other laws concerning children
The little folks were expected to "do
their bit" and were put to work in
factories or on farms. Their schooling
was curtalled. The result was an i'm
mediate increase in juvenile delinquency
and a decrease in the output Of the
factories where protection of child work
RS were abandoned Much the same
condition is said to have existed in Ger
many. All these countries are now
struggling to undo the mischief wrought
by their early carelessness.
In the face of this bitter experience
Of European countries the United States
is in danger of making the same mis-
takes. Through the greed of some EN-
ployers and the misguided enthusiasm
Of some patriots comes the attempt to
suspend the federal child labor law and
to economize in child education. Such
economy doesn't pay, and the nation
should take heed before irreparable dam
age is done.
There are 3O,OOO,OOO children under
the age Of sixteen years in this coun.
try. Some 2O,OOO,O0O of them are in
school. They form one resource on
which we must not draw in any of our
war plans, no matter how hard pressed
we may be. The most effective use we
can make of this vast resource is to
care for it and to make Of it a strong,
healthy, intelligent body Of citizens, wor-
thy Of the democracy for which we are
fighting and able TO fulfill its promises.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Would Conserve Garbage.

by the department of agriculture is
one for the conservation of garbage.
Conservation campaigns have been
cutting down the contents of the gar"
bage pail as far as possible, but there
will always be source of fats and
fertilizer material, both Of which are
sorely needed all over the world. The
department hopes to induce every city
of any size to install reduction plant
to recover these materials from the
garbage. An average load Of garbage
contains . per cent Of grease and 20
per cent Of tankage, which latter is
valuable fertilizer The food conser-
walton campaign, however, is showing
its results in a reduction of the
amount Of fatty material in the gar
bage.
