TeIItaIe Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt when
all the other muscles are controlled.
This you will learn in the eleventh
chapter of Darwin's book. Sometimes,
when the ia .e is controlled, as in the
case of natives of India, other muscles
are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine
declares that in India the judge can
tell when a native is lying by watch
ing his toes. He keeps his face per-
fectly straight and his eyes express
sionless, but his toes begin to wiggle
as soon as he begins to lie.

Monkeys Use Fists.

Braehm, in his "ThierIeben," tells
how certain kinds of monkeys empha
size their feelings by striking with
their fists When angry or excited they
bring their fists down upon the ground
with all their might. They are not
quite as foolish Us the man who ham
lners the table with his fist They
have this excuse: the are looking for
a stone or stick with which to crack
the skull of their dissenting fellow
monkey.

Self-Plty; SeIf.Pralse.

Half the world is gnawed by the
beast Self Pity and the other half Is
bitten by the beast Self Praise. 1t is
better to chain both these animals and
go out free and unconcerned about
self. Ali this concern about self Is
the misfortune which dogs the man
who has not related himself to the one
universal law.

occurred in the Grand Canyon of the

Habits.

II is astonishingly easier to get into
bad habit than to get out of it. 1t is
like the difference between sliding
down IL mountain slope and climbing
up IL. Therefore. when you find an
undesirable habit growing on you,
climb back, before you have gone down
too far.-Exchange.

u S. DOOMS ALIEN SLACKERS
Lodge Declares Allies Are Anxious for
Dodgne Subjects to Be
Deported.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Two resolu-
lions designed to bring within the op-
erations of the selective draft law all
aliens of nations allied with this gov
eminent in the common warfare upon
Germany, or else force them to return
to their native countries to do their
bit, were discussed in the United
States senate. There was such a
unanimlty of opinion In favor of both
measures that it Is probable that both

Senator McCumherS resolution re-
quests the president TO obtain an agree
ment from Europe nations engaged
In war againsJ the central powers
which would DECLARE their citizens and
subjects domiciied within the United
States subject toAthe selective draft.
Senator Lodge, speaking of the Nc
Cumber resolution, deIared that the
allied nations were heartily in favor Of
such action by the United States as
would bring their slackers In this cOun-
try into military service on the same
basis as citizens of the United States.

PRESERVING OF FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES is VITAL TO WIN
WAR, SAYS PRESIDENT.
WILL HASTEN END OF WAR
Agricultural Department Committees
Are Ready to Aid In Work-crops
Large, But Need to Save
is Great

Washington, July 31.-Presldent
Wilson, in Il letter to Secretary of
Agriculture d. +. Houston, appeals to
the women of the nation to take imme-
date steps to avoid threatened loss
Of a vast amount Of perishable fruits
and vegetables. The president says:
Every bushel of potatoes properly
stored, every pound of vegetables put
by for future use, every jar Of fruit
preserved, add that much to our In
surance Of victory-add that much to
hasten the end of the conflict.
I'VE must aim to consume these
things locally so far as possible and
thus relieve the pressure in transpor-
tation agencies, freeing them for the
more efficient handling Of products re-
Quired for military purposes. What
we cannot presently consume we must
conserve"
Herbert c. Hoover, Americas food
controller, in a statement issued on
Saturday, calculated to dispel war
gloom, declared the people of the

SLACKERS FACE JAIL
GEN. CROWpER WARNS YOUTHS
WHO RUSHED TO GET MARRIED.
CONSUMPTION Act Provides Prison Sem
tence for Those Who Attempt to
Avoio Military Service.

Washington, Aug 1.-The young
men who have thronged to marriage IL
cense bureaus since July 20 In hope
the government would exempt them
from army service have got married in
vain.
They may even have committed
misdemeanor and be liable to prosecu-
ton. If this is so, their war brides,
as aiding them in the mlsdemeanor,
also will be liable to prosecution.
Provost Marshal Gen. f. II. Crow
der, aroused by the reports of throngs
of men of draft age invading the mar
rlage license bureaus in the larger cit
les, made this perfectly plain. He an
nounced:
by section of the CONSUMPTION act
any person who evades or aids another
to evade the requirements Of this act
Is guilty of a misdemeanor and local
boards are authorized to warn persons
who claim discharge on the ground Of
marriage contracted since the date of
the act, that both parties are liable to
prosecution under this provision, If, In
fact, the marriage was contracted sole
ly with intent to evade the perform
ance of military duty"
IF necessary" said Secretary Bl-
ker, 1--WE will ask the president to
amend the regulations to get at these
slackers. If that Is not enough, we
may ask congress for further legisla-
ton on this subject"

continue calling up men until It had

inally allotted
Cleveland, O., Aug. 1.-Of the first

PROTEST PRICE OF WHEAT
War Emergency Council Hears Voice
of Farmers, Who Declare Sum
Set Is Too Low.

Washington, July S0.-That ~
minimum price for wheat Will mean
SO wheat and higher priced bread, and
that IS per cent of the people are vital
~ Interested In reasonable prices while
only per cent are interested in high
priced wheat, were assertions made
by the war emergency council of the
baking industry In protest to the
food bill conferees against the mini
mum price provision Of the pending
measure.
The council representing $1,000
American bakers asserted In session
here that fixing the minimum price for
wheat as high as 81 means that the
farmer, instead Of the middleman, Will
hoard wheat, and that it would not
result In the stimulation Of production
which the country most needs at this
hour.
A return to scent bread, the bakers
said, was impossible, but lower than
present prices can be and should be at
tanned, in their opinion.

YEARS WAR BUDGET
FIRST PERIOD OF WAR TO COST
s1o,735, 1907 900.
War Tax Bill Is ReVised-Loans Extra
and More Than $6,5ooo 100000
Added Revenue.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary Nc
Adoo, submitting estimates to congress
for the new war budget, said the first
year Of the war promised now to cost
S10,735, $4,000, exclusive of loans to
the allies, making 1t necessary to raise
more than $6,50O.0OOOOO additional
revenue.
The war tax bill as revised by the
senate finance committee provides for
only n little more than $1,000 100000
in additional revenue. The $5,00000O,-
600 discrepancy probably will be made
up partly by increasing the bins
levles and partly by bond issue.
Besides the estimate Of more than
$4,000, 100000 additional expenses sub
mltted by the war department, Mr.. Nc
Adoo presented estimates from other
departments totaling upward of $1,000
100000. All these estimates are for
expenditures during the year ending
next July, and are In addition to more
than $3,00O,OO00OO already appropri-
ated since the war began.
The largest Items in the estimates
are $3.50 100000 for the shipping board
and $2sS 100000 for the navy For the
food survey to be made under pending
legislation S11000,OO0 wns requested.
Loans to our allies and possible
emergencies may take the total cost of
the first year Of the war up to $4,000
100000 or possibly S20,0OO000, 900.
Against these totals figures submitted
to congressional leaders for comparl-
son with appropriations OF European
belligerents Indicated that for the Brit
lsh fiscal year ending March 81 last
the British appropriations, including
loans to allies, aggregated $4,000. 600
600, and an estimate for the current
fiscal year was 000,000,00O.
The expenses Of other government
branches also run into stupendous
figures. Estimates Of these branches
are TO go to congress soon. Roughly
they will approximate:

FOOD BILL Is IN DEADLOCK
Conferees Take Recess to Reach
Agreement on War Expenditures
Won't Take Gas Pipe Lines.

Washington, aug. 1.-The conferees
on the administration food bill failed
at their first session to break their
deadlock on the congressional war ex-
penditures committee, opposed by
President Wilson, and took a recess
late yesterday, with motion to strike
out the provision still pending. When
the confereeS reconvened later in the
day, however, they We're forced to re-
cess until this afternoon, when anoth-
or effort will be made for an agree
ment.
The conferees struck out Il provision
authorizing the government to com
mandeer gas pipe lines for military or
public defense purposes. Tie clause
empowering the president to com
mandeer oil-pipe lines, however, was
retained.
Tie new provision for wheat price
