COST ENORMOUS.
Expense Of Maintaining Civil Services
I'm Great Britain,


In Great Britain.
London.-The sum of $500, 900, coo
was expended in maintaining the
civil services in Great Britain for the
past year, says an official announce
ment. This includes the sums spent
on the kings palaces. Immense ex-
cesses Of expenditure over the
amounts originally estimated are ac-
counted for by war bonuses, increas-
ed cost Of labor and material, and
the higher cost of food.
In some items there are consider
able savings. Members OF parliament
turned back their salaries to the
amount Of $4,000. There is a saving
in the estimates for prisons, due TO
the decrease in the number Of pris-
oners. Reformatories and similar
institutions, however, cost more.
owing to a larger number OF Juvenile
delinquents. There were consider
able savings in the diplomatic and
consular service due to the with
drawal Of missions from enemy coun-
tries.

In abiding to the general discus

fertilizer to use for the production
Of various crops, the Hartford Cou-
rant tells the story Of the man who,
many years ago, applied to Horace
Greeley for advice on the matter
AT that time Mr.. Greeley conducted
a column in the Tribune devoted to
what he termed scientific agricul-
ture.'' Thousands Of farmers ans
would-be farmers sent questions to
him asking for light on doubtful
points, and usually they received
Illuminating answers. Occasionally
however, MI. Greeley's sense Of hui
NOR or his bent toward sarcasm goi
the better Of him.
About the time when guano and
artificial fertilizers were attracting
the attention Of farmers, a man in

IN LIFE,s sILENcEs.

Character comes by doing what
ought to be done and resisting what
ought not to be done, when no out
slider is looking. It l. quit true,
and happily true, thai life is not
lacking ID the inspirations that CONT
from Tbs sense Of being observed, or
in the restraints imposed BY tn real
lied concern Of watchful well-wish-
era. It is a blessed aid over hard
places that in the nick Of need some
one is looking on to say an encour-
aging word, It is a blessed cheer
through dark places that a warning
voice reminds Of lurking danger.
But Tor such timely voices many Of
us would have yielded to temptation,
to our hurt and loss. Nevertheless,
aatActer gets fixed in the silences Of
life when no man is near, when nc
voices elther to warn or to cheer are
beard save only the voice within.

USE OF PROFANITY IN WAR
Norman Conqueror Is Credited With

oaths."

If the armies of Flanders Of this
or any previous war have sworn ter
ribly, they have at least good his
~torical precedent, says the Columbia
rs. C.) State. The Normans, from
whom all the good" English de-
scended In direct line, we're led by a
famous mouther Of round oaths, Will
liam the Conqueror. That wonder
ful tighter is credited with having
invented the most grandiloquent and
lofty oath in all the literature Of
profanity, by the splendor Of God
He swore it yociferously upon the
field Of Hastings and won the battle
and the country-and put a Norman
III" in a lot Of otherwise perfectly
good En- glish words.
Lars Porsena Of Tusculum wal
also a famous swearer. 1t seems
however, that his vocabulary Of pro
family was very limited, and he al
ways swore "by the nine GODS whC
didn't assist him much against tn,
Roman short sword.
But these and the similar resound
ing oaths Of the days Of chigalry-
and Of the code duello-are partl,
redeemed, at least softened, BY wha
might be termed the refinement 0
profanity. Some of the oaths on
hears IN these days-while the "ac
cusing spirit" may blush as he give
them in at heavens chancery," W
feel sure that the recording angt
has no tears left with which to bic
them out.

TALK II OVER WITH CHILD
Discussion Of Problems OF Conduct Il
Best Method Of Gov.
eminent.

a parent who has not tried to
solve problems Of conduct by dis
cnssion with his children has not
governed them in the best way.
Again. a parent who has not learned
to restrain his own views ON ques-
tio6 aifecting the members of the
family while he listens to the views
Of his children has missed the great
est pleasure to be derived from being
a parent. Anyone who is not an
autoofat viii find only delight in OBJ
serving how his children's minds
work Oh the difficulties which are
eneovmtered in the management Of
the home. He will be exhilarated
when he sees how their views enlarge
every day as they develop, and how
they gradually get their selfish de-
sires under control so that they can
appreciate and observe principles Of
right and justice and fair play
themselves and insist upon Others
observing them. A parent who is
bully never can get an insight into
his children's thoughts about CON
duct and SO he can never know what
fine sport it is to be a parent

MayOr's Proclamation.

AS Mayor Of the City of Lex

ment. /, therefore, urge that
our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the
Secretary of the Treasury to the
practice Of thrift to serve the
Government to their utmost in
increasing production in all
fields, necessary to the winning
of the war; and that the people
as evidence of their loyalty in
vest all they can save in War
Savings Stamps" 1t behooves

BEEF ONCE A WEEK
New Food Regulations Limit
Service Of FavOrite Dish
in Hotels.


From time immemorial, al
most, the man who makes the
weary round of hotels and res
taurants has found roast beef,
medium, his favorite dish. Sat-
ed with various vivands offered
on the bill of fare, he has glanc-
ed at the proffered menu, thrust
it aside impatiently, and with a
sigh Of satisfaction said:
Bring me some roast beef"
But wan times have brought a
complete change in habits Of
eating. And roast beef can now
be served at hotels and restau-
rants only once a week. The Food
Administration recently an
nounced that the decreasing sur
plus Of beef and the increasing
demands of the growing army
make conservation in beef con-
sumption imperative until Sep
TENDER Is.
The Hotel Division of the Food
Administration has suggested
the following uniform regula-
tions for hotels and public eat
ing places to accomplish the con-
s~ervation desired:
Roast beef, whether hot or cold
should be served only on Monday
at the midday meal stewed, boil
ed or beef hash on Wednesday
and Saturday at the midday
meal; steaks in any form, includ-
ing hamburg steak, on Thursday
only at the midday meal. By
products of beef, such as OK
tails, livers, tongues, sweet
breads, hearts, kidneys, brains
and tripe may be served at any
time.
:. Every patriotic eating place is
, expected to comply at once OF
a voluntary basis.

STOPS CRACKS IN CONCRETE
Application Of Floor Dressing Paint
WIN Keep Surface
Unscarred.

ne Of the chief causes Of crack
ing ia concrete surfaces is the pres
ence Of moisture in the surrounding
atmosphere, says a large manufac-
tuaar. In the warm months this
moisture has no detrimental effect,
but IN winter it collects in the tiny
pores Of the concrete and freezes
With its concurrent expansion this
exerts q pressure on the surrounding
concrete and causes tiny cracks to
appear. These cracks in turn fill
with moisture and the chipping ac-
tion continues until spring come;
with its higher temperature. This
chipping ard cracking Of the sur.
face Of the concrete detracts boil
from the appearance and strength o.
the concrete.
a sure way to prevent this de
struCtige aetion is to coat the cor.
crete surface with a floor dressing
paint. This preserves the bxturi
and individuality Of the concrete ant
yenta moisture penetrating tn
surface If new concrete floors ar
covered with two coats Of this pain
and recoated at intervals Of abou
six months, the concrete surfac
will remain unscarred and withou
cracks.
