Questions and Answers.
Brown Spots versus the w. X. Liver.-I have
a number Of large brown spots or moth patches
on my face. ! am told they are liver spots
How can i tell W :.ethcr they are from liver
trouble? What are the other symptoms of liver
trouble? My physician once said there was nc
way of telling. Is there no relief for these
blemishes! nj. G..
Answer.-Never mind about tho liver. The
spots have nothing to do with tho liver. They
more likely signify that you don't use your
lungs enough. Usual cause is autotoxemia o,
intestinal origin: intestinal stasis. Six somcr-
saults night and morning. and two miles OF
oxygen three times n day on the hoof. more
vegetable food. less animal protein.

CAMP DIX, wrghtstown, N. j., Oct. %.
The movement Of 5000 rockies for camps
at Admission and Augusta, Ca, Is now
In progress. In addition to the southern
movement, several hundred men left Sum
day to join engineer regiments at Rock
ford. Ills. The outward movement will
leave room for the entry OF as many new
recruits IL they are sent down by the
local boards this week. Headquarters
this morning said that they did not want
TO receive any more new men this week, as
they are not yet In a position to house
the men comfortably. The second con-
tingent of 40 per cent Is due TO arrive
this week. but the new building operations
are not yet completed and probably will
not be completed until late in November.
The authorities do not want to receive ad-
ditlonal quotas until they are able to
properly house them, they do not want
to infiict on them any Of the discomforts
that were necessary when first quotas ar
rived.
When the new increments are added II is
very likely that the companies now Or
ganized will be further depleted by transfer
of men to the new companies, where they
will act as noncommissioned officers and
instructors Many of the men will be trans
ferred to the remount station to take charge
of the work of training and caring for
$4,000 horses, which are due to arrive soon.
An innovation in the training this week
will be the teaching of frst-aid methods to
the men. Each man will be taught how to
use his frst-aid package, which will be
issued to him. Lectures will be given by
the officers, and there will be demonstration
work. showing how to use bandages, parts
of clothing and other material that is at
hand In the trenches
Officers here are surprised at the con-
tinued accusations of some ministers that
vice conditions exist around the camp. Cen
eral Kennedy has had Investigations made
by representatives from many different or
ganlzatiCns and the invariable report has
been that the conditions around the can
tonment are remarkably clean. General
Kennedy is cooperating with civilians, Y.
NJ. c. A. and church workers, and It Is felt
here that rumors of vice around the camp
are grossly exaggerated and without real
foundation. In a camp like this rumors I'LL
the air all the time and even chance re-
marks soCn grow until they reach scandal
Gus proportions officials realize that with
20, 900 men in camp there is danger of all
sorts of vice springing up and this danger
is complicated by the fact the men leave
over the weekend. But they are deter
mined that there shall be no organized vice
around the camp.

SHOW LIBERTY BONDS
SPLENDID INVESTMENT
They Are Eminently Safe,
Backed by U. s., and Interest
Rate Is Satisfactory

The following lesson on the war and the
Liberty Loan will be given the school chill
fren of the city tomorrow:
A day or two ago one of our lessons eX-
planned that "A bond is promissory note-a
promise to nay a certain sum of money with
interest each year-and that the one who
buys bond merely lends money 10 the par
" selling the bond. Liberty Bonds are prom
ises OF our Government. which is selling
them TO get money for carrying on the war
against Germany.
People who buy bonds are investing their
money and very naturally and properly
thew are anxious to know whether or not
Liberty Bonds are a good investment. In
deciding such matter there are two inn
portant questions to consider First, Is my
Investment safe? Second, Shall l receive
good amount of interest each year.
= The answer to the first question is GER
tainly easy There is no doubt about the
safety Of money invested in United States
bonds Our Government will always be
able to pay its debts. Railroads and other
corporations may become bankrupt, but any
one who lends money to the Government
need not fear that lie may not get it back
later
The second question is also easy 20
answer, but unfortunately many people are
not readily convinced that the answer Is
correct. Most of us are so anxious for
money that we want to receive q large rate
Of interest. If some one tells us of an in
yestment and promises that It will yield
10 10 or Is per cent We are easily per-
suaded because of our greed for large
return.
The promise of high interest rates almost
Invariably comes from an unsafe invest
ment An offer of anything beyond mod
crate rate is to be viewed with suspicion.
Some investments are more risky than
others and the greater the risk the higher
the interest rate that must be offered.
Some other things influence interest rates,
but this is the most important.
Liberty Bonds may be paid for little at
time. If our Government during the war
should sell other bonds bearing a higher
interest rate the owner of these may ex-
change them for the new ones and so get
more than 4 per cent. Liberty Bonds are
safe; they pay as high a rate of return as
Is consistent with entire safety; they may
oe purchased on easy terms and they may
De exchange later for Government bonds
bearing higher rate of interest IL our
GoVernment should issue any such during
hls war. They are an excellent invest
ment
