WAR SH|CH C0ST NJ NEW STORY
 TO EUROPEANS

Napoleon was such a masterful gen. jus that he made his twenty years of French wars pay for themselves. The sequel was that, after Waterloo was fought and his career ended, the French debt was exceedingly small scarcely greater than it was before the world had heard the name of Bona parte.
 Pisrnarrk learned that trick of mak- ing money out of wars. Thus it hap pened that when the Franco Prussian conflict was all over and settled for. Germany had 579 million dollars more cash than when she started, and had Alsace and Lorraine to boot.
 As Napoleon's two decades of wars ended, the French national debt was only SIP for every inhabitant When the present war began the debt was S160, and at the end of last year it was s455.
 To save her existence France has bled money as heroically as she has bled men.
 Wellington is accounted a victor, and England did most to end Napo- Icons wars and banish the emperor.
 'nt it cost England vastly more to fight Napoleon that it cost the French at his back. You can see this by the bald figures.
 I have said Frances debt a century ago was only SIP per person. but Great Britain's debt was then exactly twenty times that sum.
 The British debt at the beginning of the present year was S38O for every inhabitant of the kingdom, compared with $75 at the beginning of this war and $40 at Waterloo.
 Russia had failed to mobilize her wealth any more efficiently than her man power. Her per capita debt on last New Years day was only s44- little more than a ninth of Englands g and less than a tenth of the French
 Germany began this war $50 in debt the end of last year she was in the hole to the extent of $225.
 No other people buy their home loans like the French. Two years after Sedan, when the government called for money to pay off of Bismarck appalling indemnity of l billion dol lars, there were billion dollars sub- scribed, or many times the specific amount asked for.
 English and French debts are not ir the form of bonds. They never come due and need never be paid off. The, resemble government annuities.
 Americas heaviest national deb was at the end of the civil war, wher it amounted to about s100 for every person.
 With our new Liberty loan added we shall have only about $35 each.
 If Americans buy government bond. like hot cakes off the griddle, as dc the French, 15 million persons vii participate. One in every seven per sons in France has a piece of hi! country's debt.

RUSSIAN LAKE |S LARGE AS ONTARIO,
 FED BY 20 RIVERS

Lake Ladoga, the great reservoir for Petrograds River Neva, is the sub Ject of the following war geography bulletin issued by the National Geo graphic society:
 If the Caspian Sea be rated as a sea instead of a lake, Ladoga takes premier place among the lakes of Europe With it's area of 1000 square miles it very nearly approaches in size our own Lake Ontario, which has water surface slightly exceeding 7,200 square miles,
 'Ladoga has recently appeared in the public prints owing to the revolu- tionary- activities of the munitions workers at Schlusselburg, the fortified town situated at the point where he waters of the lake find their oLtiet to the Gulf of Finland through tie river Neva. By the water route it is distance of forty miles from tho western extremity to Lake Ladoga to Petrograd, but in an airline it is only twenty-One miles.
 This great sheet of water is fed by more than seventy rivers and streams, the most important of which are the SyaS, Svir and Volkhov, all Neva at Neva at Schlusselburg by canals. The canals have been dug in order to relieve shipping of the perls of the lake. which are numerous frequent gales, numerous reefs and rocks, and dense fogs. The most inn portant of these canals connecting the Volkhov and the Neva, was dug near ly two hundred years ago along the southern shore of the lake. Tn 1861 = So the old waterway was supplemented by new canals running parallel to it. By means of these two canals Pet rograd is connected with the ancient city of NOvgorod (not to be confused with the fair city government of the Volkov Republic in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. In this city origin ated the proverb, If the prince is bad into the mud with him. the advice being frequently acted upon.
 What little commerce is carried on the waters of the lake itself, from the northern shores to Schlusselburg g must be handled during the summer months, for the ice blocks transporta tion for about 180 days out of the 365. While the ice seldoim is more than three or four feet deep it frequently is piled up off shore to height of sixty to eighty feet and in the early summer, when it begins to float down the Neva it has a very perceptible refrigerating effect on the climate of Petrograd.

States made it's first foreign touch" II borrowed S400,000 from France
 Always in the past our war debts were paid off in double quick time First was wiped out the revolution debt, and then that of 1872. During Jackson's day at the White House Uncle San had no debt and was so flush in the pocket that he actually gave away IS million dollars to the states.
 Ten years ago the last civil war bonds, some 4 per cents were paid off. When President Mckinley called for cash to free Cuba he only wanted 200 million dollars, but our thrifty folks offered that amount seven times over.

Modern high-heeled footwear buckles

of teh thousands of hospital cases Of
infection and lockjaw are the result OF
woman's suicidal habit of trying to cut

For little cost there can be obtained
at any pharmacy a quarter of an ounce
of drug called freezone, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard
or soft corn or callus without the
slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and all. lifts right out. 1t is sticky
substance, which dries the moment it
is applied, and thousands of men and

Another question which will GER
tainly come I'D in this session of the
legislature is that of devising means
whereby more money may be had for
good roads and better system of gov
ornamental machinery for road con-
struction can be worked out.
The Georgia State Automobile asso-
citation will foster several bills looking
to this end, among which will likely
be a constitutional amendment making
it possible for the state to appropriate
money directly for road construction
The purpose of this bill will be not
only to allow the state to make such
direct appropriations for the construc-
ton of good roads as the general as
sembly may deem advisable, but also
to provide a means whereby the federal
road aid act may be more easily COM
Piled with. Under the present con-
stitution, the only way in which the
state can comply with the federal act
is through agreement and cooperation
of individual counties, working through
the state highway commission, more
or less difficult and unsatisfactory way
OF getting at the road problem.
There have been several reports OF
the probable introduction of bills look
ing to revising the act creating the
state highway commission and making
it separate body. Whether such bills
are introduced or not, it is certain that
there will be bills to give the commits
sion little better financial backing.
Another measure which will proba-
bly come up in this session of the
Legislature is a bill for the revision
of the senatorial districts Of the state.
