per capita wealth of $500 is larger than
that of any other power and whose per

100000 loan is sold, will be about $50, or
less than one-tenth that of either Great

Americas credit has steadily risen and
today II Government bonds hold the
highest credit of any bonds issued by any
government in the world.
In asking you to subscribe to this loan
your Government does not ask you to
spend your money. Instead it offers you
an opportunity to save and invest.
Liberty Bonds may be purchased In
multiples of $50. They bear 3N per cent
interest, payable s~emi-annually December
18th and June 18th. They mature in 80
wears and are redeemable in IS years.
Should the Government put out any fut-
ure issues at an interest rate higher than
3N per cent before the close of the war,
the Liberty Loan" will Immediately be-
come convertible into higher rate bonds.

A SAFE NET o

L. "a oar GV64 ~
Our Government has made these bonds
exempt from all state or federal taxes, ex-
cept estates and inheritances. They thus
give In income absolutely net to you, re-
gardless of the income tax. There are
many investments paying . higher rate
of interest which do not yield as much
rs 81 per cent net after al taxes have
been paid.
THE BEST BASIS FOR CREDIT.
Liberty Loan Bonds are the best pos
sible basis for credit. When you need
. loan you can present them to your
banker and get the money you need. As
o % you repay your note, he will re-
turn the bonds to you. They will have
been drawing interest for you the eatire
time.
A Liberty Loan Bond is worth many
times its face value in the credit it &C.
cures for you.

LAURA JEAN LIBBYS DAILY TALKS ON HEART TOPICS

bands misplaced confidence. The Wo- man in this case did not get off so easily The lure of diamonds cost her not only her honor, but her life. She became acquainted with man Who sat next to her in a theatre A large diamond ring which he wore to at- tract the eye of foolish women cap tivated her fancy. She proved not averse to a filtration. It was but a step to a graver folly-a room at a fashionable hotel. She had come plumed for the visit, wearing all her diamonds and a fashionable gown, to appear at her best. She was never seen again alive. From her lifeless Obdy found in the room to which she had been lured, her diamonds were missing. They had been torn from her fingers.
 When will this class of married wo- men realize that the stranger who speaks to them is by no means fas- cinated with them? Why are they so foolish that they do not understand that he has picked them out for vic- tinas? In encouraging his advances they should know that they are deal ing a foul blow at the heart of the honest, unsuspecting husband at home. The law should ferret out and make an example of the men who live upon their wits and foolish, well-to-do married women who permit them to make love to them

FISH, A WAR;
 TIME NEED

With the declaration of war against Germany, the seacoast fisheries have attained a new degree of importance. Valuable in time of peace as food producing agencies, in time of war the fisheries become invaluable, as Europe has learned during the past three years.
 "AlI food taken from the sea is net gain to the land," United States food expert has said, and, if this is, true under the normal conditions of peace, it is doubly true when war is upon the land. Land crops may fail, but year after year the sea can be depended upon to supply sustenance for the nation.
 To grow cattle or other animals for food purposes, to blow, plant and reap a harvest of greens or vegetables, re- quires an outlay of capital, time and labor. To h-rvest the crop of tho seas, few boats and a few men suf- flee And the harvest is continuous, There is no between, harvests'' where sea foods are concerned Every day the year round is a harvest day.
 The same fleet which protects our ports, guards our fishing grounds, and. even while engaged in gathering the crop of the sea, the fishing fleet acts as a scout service for the Navy.
 Active measures have been taken to secure an adequate supply of land, grown foods through the backyard garden propaganda. It is to be hoped that measures will also be taken tq the end that our sea food supply may be ample and uninterrupted.

Eggs.

Eggs like milk, are commonly call ed a perfect food. and while it is true that the contain the elements needed for the growth of the young bird or young mammal, neither in- cludes them in the right proportion to nourish an adult human beingy How ever eggs deserve the high place that they hold as a food material. They are used as substitutes for meat, combined with other materials as in cakes in icings and confectionery
 K The white of an egg beaten light thus enclosing air is a long known leavening agent, and was much more used before the manufacture of han dy leavenings powders. Old-time re- cipes often called for a large number of eggs, but 1t is noted that no other leavening power was used. A fresh egg will become much lighter by beat ing than a case egg. Eggs also have thickening power, as shown in ma king custard or cream.
 ; For culinary purposes hens eggs are most commonly used. next duck and goose eggs, and occasionally those of the guinea fowl and of tur- Keys. Plover and gulls' eggs are ed- ibie. turtle and terrapin eggs are much prized. and of fish those of the stur geon preserved in salt are sold as ca viare, while the shad roe is eaten with relish

PIANO PLAYING WIFE.

c. R. B. writes: ''I am a girl of l9 and have kept steady company with a railroad man for nearly year. On his first visit he said he would never marry a girl who couldn't play the piano. Now we are poor-ny father being in the postal service and I in a store. But mother and talked it over and as he seemed to be coming stead fly we, thought it best for me to learn music. I took piona lessons for over six rhonths-intending to surprise him later on by being able to play. We supposed that after marriage he'd be likely to buy a piano. Speaking of music the other evening he declared, Piano playing parlor dolls are no good When I reminded of his say ing he'd marry no other kind, he an- swered, T meant a girl who could play on a kitchen piano-the wash tub , My family is very angry and insists that he should pay back the money I've spent for useless music lessons Should I suggest this to him? Please tell me-
 Mistakes will occur even among the best intentioned people. What has been done cannot be undone. It would not Joe best to tell him you had taken his little pleasantly seriously. Who knows but he may indeed purchase a piano for you after marriage, seeing you now have the ability to play it |? Possessing good accomplishment should not be regretted
