| for body.guard duty.
And when the President, returning
I from the capitol, drove through the
big gates of the White House grounds
and they swung to behind him, he
! found himself as completely cut of
from contact with the public, and his
every movement as carefully safe
guarded, as they would be In actuai
war time.
The man actively in charge of guard
ing the President is Joe Murphy, who
| through long years in the secret SER
vice and on duty at the White House
and executive offices, knows how to
handle every situation to minimize the
chances of danger.
The chief OF, the bodyguard squad
proper, who is to be found al the Pres
ident's side whenever he steps outside
the White House, who is almost as in
separable as his shadow, is Richard
Jervis, a tried and true operative.
Capt. Jack Washer, OF Cleveland
and John Slye and Ed Starting, White
House operatives, are in subordinate
command of details of the secret SER
vice guard.
In addition to the added secret SER
vice men, extra capital police have
been put in and around the White
House. All the big gates to the grounds
are closed and guarded, ard anyone
entering by the only open way-past
the executive offices-must run the
gauntlet of both police and secret SER
vice men.
And unless one can show unques-
toned credentials he doesn't get by
not even little way.

The kidneys do their utmost to free

TALK ABOUT n. c. OF L,
HERE'S A 4t,1oo BATH

Cost, the eather Thinks, 10 at Least
$1,000 Too Mueha
Detroit, Mich.-Roy Perry, GAO Clin-
ton street, took one Of the most ex-
pensive baths ever taken in Detroit a
day or two ago. The high cost of liv-
ing has SO comparison to the cost of
this one bath. Perry thinks. 1t cost
him just S1,1O. in good United States
money for this one scrub, and even
with prices of everything soaring sky
ward he thinks this is about $1,099
more than the bath was worth.
Perry went into the barber shop at
548 Gratiot avenue in the morning.
When he undressed he took roll OF
money from his pocket and laid it
carefully beside tine tub. Perry finish
ed his bath, dressed and went to a
moving picture show for three hours.
and then missed his bank roll. He
made a bee line for the barber shop
and bathroom and searched every.
where, but could find no trace Of his
money.
Then he called at the detective
office and reported his loss and ask
ed the detectives to find the money.
That is too much money to pay for
one bath, even IL 1t was good one"
he said.

WHAT IS THE SECURITY?

Q. A United States Govern
ment bond is frequently spoken OF
as best security in the world"
Why is this true?
A. Because the promise to pay a
Government bond is backed by the
faith and honor of the United
States of America and by the tax
ing power of this whole country.
which is the richest nation in the
world.
Q. Has the United States issued
bonds before; and, If so, has il ever
failed to pay all OF its bonds when
they become due?
A. THIS Government has issued
bonds before, and has never failed
to pay every bond when II became
due with all the interest on same.
Even after the Civil War, when the
country was suffering from a heavy
debt and was not nearly so rich as
IL is today, all Of the Government
bonds were paid when they became
due.

The COST OF WAR
THE NEED OF SACRIFICE

In the nationwide campaign for the
second war loan, the United States
Is emphasizing the vital need OF mon
BY for the successful carrying on Of
the war. Millions OF men are being
trained and equipped. Ultimately they
must be transported over seas and
followed by an unfailing supply Of
stores, the lack OF which would spell
disaster. To carry out Its plans 1t will
be necessary for the Government to
spend more In the present year than
1t has in all the previous years of
the-twentieth century. Nor Is this all
We must stand ready to advance to
our Allies the funds which they may
require to enable them to properly fin
ance their fourth year Of war.
This will cost from $4,000, 100000
10 S20, 900, 900 000-half our annual in
come To raise so vast sum speed
!ly, II is necessary to draw on the re-
sources of the whole nation by war
oans. No individual class, or Sec
Ion can hope to shoulder this burden.
The task is too great. II demands the
combined energy of the whole Ameri-
ean people. This is a fact which must
be understood by everybody. War
ioans and Government bonds are rath-
ar new things to the American peo-
pie as yet. How essential these loans
are to the success of the war must be
generally appreciated and every man
must feel his obligation to subscribe
Owing to the vast size of the coun-
Try, the task Of placing this situation
before everyone must not be left to
The officers of one Government alone
each individual must take an active
part in supporting the loans and in
winning the support of others also
Only in this way can we hope to
attain results proportional to our size

disposed to congratulate ourselves on
he first Liberty Loan, in which Il is
estimated $4,000. 000,0 900 was offered to
he Government by about $500, 900 per.
sons; but when we remember that
France, with considerably less than
half our population, subscribed as much
10 its first loan and that England, af-
ter two and a half years of war, raised
$4,000, 100000 from 5000, 900 subscrib.
ers, we can understand how far we
must go to make as good record
That II can be done Is unquestioned.
