SHIPS MASC0Ts LOSE NERVE
Pet Animals on British Vessels Show
the White Feather When Shells
Begin Exploding.

There are some incidents about the
mascots in the big naval battle of Jut-
land which are worth repeating. The
mascot on the Tiger was bulldog, a
fine fellow. When getting into the bat
tie the crew were a bit concerned as
to how their favOrite would take the
crashing of high explosives on the
ship. 10 they plugged his ears with cot
ton wool, wrapped his head around as
II he had heavy dose of toothache,
and a couple Of men took the bulldog,
much to his annoyance, to a room that
could provide. The dog didn't quite
fancy being treated as an invalid and
resented the coddling, but when the
shots began he took 1t pretty badly
and was mighty glad he had pal sit
ting on either side holding him by the
paws
Another. boat had fine, big black
cat. He was overlooked when they got
into action, and the first shell that
came aboard this fellow got loose and
took q flying dive overheard. AS the
boat was going about q knots, even
the most tender-hearted Jack Tar
could hardly risk going after Tommy.
On another ship they had little ban
tam, which strutted about more proud
ly than the dinkiest midshipman and
with as big a show Of courage as the
hardest Of old seadOgs. The tars
were proud Of the "swank" their pet
could assume before strangers. When
the drst German shell crashed on
board the bantam lost all his fine show
and few down one Of the ventilators.
When he was rescued and photo
graphed after the fight he presented a
bedraggied appearance.-London Post.

RADIUM CURES CANCER CASES
Report Of London institute Shows Sue
Gees In Treatment Of Many Patients
In Past Two Years.

In the years 1915 and 1915 the Ra-
dium institute of London handled l 400
cases, giving 1881 separate treat
ments. These were Of many forms Of
cancer and Of skin diseases. OF these,
81 were not treated, 123 were treated
too recently to record results, 33 re-
ceived irradiation merely as a precau-
tionary measure. OF the remaining

WAR HAS BOOSTED PRICE OF
SILVER.

What they named in ancient He
brew "pale" metal and the Greeks
termed shining" we. call silver.
1t is now worth 67 cents an ounce,
or over half more than it was when
Mr.. Bryan warned us not to cruelty
mankind upon a cross OF gold.
The war has boosted silver as we'll
as potatoes. bread. shoes and cabbage.
Adam Smith tells us they once used
iron nails for money in Scotland and
they still use them in Central Africa.
The cup of hemlock juice which
Socrates drank was probably paid for
In silver. Anyhow, the Greeks used
silver money that long ago, while
the Romans adopted 1t more than
two centuries before Ponttus PLATE
aat in Judgment at the trial in Jeru-
salem which made him infamous for
ali time.
It is a curious fact that from the
day Columbus discovered America
down to the hour Lincoln was inau-
surated president the amount of
silver mined in the world was al
most double in value the gold.
In the next fifty years gold caught
up with silver and now there is more
gold above ground than silver.
Mexico has produced in one year
more silver than any other nation.
Germany digs only fifth as much
silver as the United States, although
Germany leads all Europe with its
output They were mining silver
In Germany 1000 years ago.
The United States cut little OF no
figure with silver until the mighty
"Coinstock lode" Of Nevada was
struck about half a century ago.
That made those huge fortunes Of
Flood, O'Brien, Mackey, Mills and
many others. In few years more
than half billion of metal was eK-
tracted from the Ell Dorado.
California put the United States Of
America on the gold map, and the
gold which our American miners
win dig this year will be sufficient
to pay all interest on the Liberty
loan for a year and build super
drsadnaught besides.
One person in fifteen in the entire
world lives in the United States, but
we have one out Of every three gold
dollars in the world.
The kaiser has hungry eye upon
that gold. If he wins this war he
will take 1t by levying an indemnity
upon us just as his grandfather did
upon France forty-six years ago. He
will take at least two dollars for
every one he has spent since the war
began.

WHAT WAR COSTS.

Just now comes the news from
Washington that the war department
experts are estimating the cost of
our first year Of war at $4,000, 0,0OO,-
600, That is almost as much as
Germany has spent in three years Of
war, and financial experts are judg-
ing that the financial strain is al
most more than Germany can stand
A writer of standing in a recent
issue of the New York Times" mag
azine declares that Germany Is al
ready in financial stress, and that
her distress must increase
"The question is, how long can
she endure the economic pressure
fought off thus far by wonderfully
skilled finance, which cannot keep
the totals from rising to incredible
sums. The frst war credit was for
$1,250,O00.OO0. The eighth credit,
In 1917, was for $3,750,0O0,0OO. The
total is now a little short of $20,-
100000, ,000-79, 900, 100000 marks
The reichstag is at this writing de-
murring to the grant Of a supplement
tary credit which would bring the
total up to s4.000,O00,00O marks.
That is within 100000 marks of
the total which the president of the
retchstag has stated that Germany
could endure. When Germany's
interest charge exceeds her annual
increase in wealth, or about $4,000
100000, her collapse is certain, for
the strain would be uncomfortable {"
He adds that the interest alone on
the public loans is s747.O0O, 900;
more than the total taxation for the
year before the war. and that she
has been borrowing part of her in
terest-the surest road to ruin
known to finance, "The German
calculation of collapse is brought ap-
precfably nearer by the certainty
that the annual increase Of wealth is
reduced by the war, and the belief
that there are certainly several bill
Lions of floating debt"

Women! It's Cheap!
Use Lemon Juice
and Make Lotion

To keep your skin and complexion
naturally soft, white and clear at all
times you simply must use lotion
or cream every day. But choose the
one that is best and costs the least.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white
makes a whole quarter pint of the
most remarkable beauty lotion at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon
juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try this lotion! Make up a
quarter pint of this Sweetly fragrant
cream and massage it into the face,
neck. arms and hands. 1t should
naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the hidden
roses and beauty of any skin.
Your druggist will sell three
ounces of orchard white at little cost,
and any grocer will supply the
lemons.

RUSSIA Is MAD
OVER FREEDOM
Magazine Writer Declares
That War Will Be a
Long One

New York, June 12.-An intimate
picture of conditions in the warning
countries was brought back to
America yesterday by Isaac F. Mar
cosson, magazine writer and student
of business organization and finance.
In its broader outlines it was of
Russia, joyriding with freedom; of
France, bleeding and white; of Swe-
den, on the verge of revolt, and of
Spain, headed for democracy. The
British army he called "a marvel
Gus fighting machine, as fine q piece
of Standardization as the world has
ever seen"
Russia said Mr.. Marcosson,
has gone freedom mad Her army
has ceased to be an asset; it will be
fortunate If it holds it's own. | am
hopeful of Russia's future only If
the men now running the govern
ment are kept in office. The minute
these men are deposed l say, God
help Russia"
This war has meant remarkable
development to England. Her wo-
men and children and old men are
organized. Each one is doing his
bit. And here is something I'd like
to say of America; l hope America
will take England's lesson of ma
tional service and of lending. The
way England has become a nation
of small investors is remarkable
and America, to be successful, must
become a nation of small investors

ed, "for America to get the idea that
