AMERICAN farmer PATRIOTIC
PROVIDES SUPPLIES AND MONEY

Few will question the patriotism o.
the American farmer.
If there is any man in whom the love
of home, the love Of liberty, and the
love of independence Is thoroughly
grounded, 1t is the American farmer
Naturally, therefore, he is the one
man more than any other, who will
stand firmly behind his Government
in making the world safe for Democ-
racy.
The farmer Is doing, and will con-
tinue to do, all In his power in the
matter Of the production of foods to
support our people at home, our boys
In the trenches and our allies.
But It is as necessary to finance lib
erty as It is to fight for It, or to feed
those who fight.
Because all Of this Is true and be-
cause he can afford 1t on account Of
the prices he is receiving for his prod
ucts, the farmer should be one OF the
most eager purchasers of Liberty
Bonds.
He should be willing and glad to
share part of his profits in support
Of his government in the prosecution
of the war.

There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional

by an infamed condition OF the Eus-

WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED
Management Of Business by Great
Britain and France, However.

Contrary to the common understand
Ing in the United States there has
been very little direct management of
business by the governments of Great
Britain and France in those countries
since the war began. according to a
report on the relation of the govern
ment to war industry" made TO the
National Civic federation by Prof. Jer-
emiah w. jerks
There has been. however, Professor
jerks explains. Il rather strict regula-
tion of industries producing or hand
ling war supplies, but virtually no d.
rect management of business outside
the regular government arsenals and
certain special factories, few in num-
Der, built by or for the British gov
eminent. The power given the Brit
lsh government under the defense Of
the realm act is outlined in the report
as follows:
To require any work in any factory
or workshop to he done in accordance
with the directions of the government
ITO regulate or restrict the carry
Ing on of work in any factory or work
shop or to remove the plant.
To take possession ofs any unoccu-
ped premises for war purposes.
I'm actual practice the government
gets its work done
by paying liberal prices 10 estab-
iishmcnts for all work done while
guarding against monopolistic or other
extortienate prices.
BY restricting or forbidding the
making of certain classes of goods
not needed for war purposes.

Bridge Has Trestle in Center.

A bridge has recently been COM
pleted by the burlington railroad
across the Platte river at Yutan, Neb.,
which has Orders mt either end, while
the center is trestlework. This unus-
ua form of bridge construction is de-
scribed in the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. At Yutan the stream often
overfows. becoming over half mile
wide. and in winter destructive ice
jams have formed on it. With a
view to providing bridge strong
enough to resist the ice and yet not
excessive in cost, the width of the
Platte was decreased at this point
from 1000 feet to about 1880 feet by
building an embankment on one side.
This intensified the two currents that
flowed near the two banks and auto
matically deepened their channels, so
that the ice was more easily carried
off in spring, The two current beds
were spanned by Orders placed on
piers, set 10 feet apart, while between
these there was built trestle 700 feet
long.

T he EYES.

If children were taught better care
of their eyes there would be less work
for the ocuiists. Rubbing the eyes
with the fists or straining them in
bad light. or bending too near the work,
all make the vision poor and call for
glasses and treatments. 1t strengthens
the eyes TO wash them occasionally,
many people advise washing the eyes
every morning along with the bath.
The best eye wash consists Of lev
eled teaSpoonful of horic acid dissolved
In quart of distilled or boiled water
or, pinch of salt added to small tea
cupful of water. Rolling the eyes from
side to side strengthens the muscles
and tends slightly To make the eyes
larger But this Is an exercise that
should only be tried when the eyes
are feeling fresh. as it stimulates.
When the eyes are tired this wash, or
a bath of hot water, with IL sponge or
cloth soaked in hot water held right
over the eyes, is the best plan. For
this will bring the blood to the eyes
and the heat will soothe the nerves.
