arc born here, they spend their lives
here, and thoy die here. Yet they have
never been Americans in spirit and in

fact that they have never thought in

Hun Not at End Of Tether.
German language papers in Amer
lea are a constant source of danger
and of trouble. If they have not the
tact to disappear voluntarily. they
should be made to disappear. Germans
and pro Germans in this country look
upon German language papers as the
purveyors of truth. and they hold the
Eng lish -lanauage papers to be con-
veyors Of falsehoois. How can such
people he expected to ever become
true Americans? Public opinion should
not allow this state Of affairs, and as
rule public opinion is fairly good in

munity. Whoever speaks German or
reads a German newspaper today is at
heart a German. whatever his lesal
status and whatever HIS profession of
loyalty may be.
And one more word of warming: The
Hun Is by no means yet near lile eHu
of his tether The singing of patriotic
songs and the waving of flags is not
sufficient and will not bring down the
beast, the unclean, ugly thing. Wake
up, America. Possibly millions OF
americans may yet have to go west

But let us make the Hun understand
that it shall be seen thru, tho 1t may
take a generation yet to do it, Woe be-
tide the earth if Hun ethics and Hun
principles were TO prevail. Happy the
man or woman who is privileged to
lend a helping hand in this most
momentous struggle which will decide
the fate of untold generations in every
quarter of the globe. In the noble
words of President Wilson: To such
a task We can dedicate our lives and
our fortunes God help America. He
will. if every American does his duty.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon: apply

to moisten the scalp and rub =. in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica-
tons will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much DAN
draee you may have.
You will md, 200, that al Itching and

BEARD PROTECTS FROM GAS.
Huns Claim Whiskers Act as Air Filter
in Gas Masks

Amsterdam, March 2S.-[By MALL
To be clean shaven or bearded like the
pard is the alternative presented to the
German first line troops. The reason
is to be sought in the gas mask. Some
authorities hold that the mask can not
be relied upon to protect any but clean
shaver faces; others again hold that
a dense hirsute growth within the
mask acts as an additional air filter But
it must be real patriarchal beard-no
mere seven or fourteen days bristles,
says an article in the Deutsche Tages-
zetung.
The writer holds that the full beard is
peculiarly Teutonic attribute and
should be cultivated as such Besides.
according to ancient tradition, 1t adds

FOOD NEEDS OF ARMY.
All Of Vast Supplies for v. S. Soldiers
Vigorously Inspected.

nI9ofoSSiy ''SkSS-eS'
Washington, April 26.-The Amer
.can army is consuming an average OF
$780, oO pounds OF food stuffs every
DAY. according to ~ official statement
authorized by Major General Cocktails
the acting Guartermaster general
General Goethals' estimate was based
on the food consumption of 100000
men, and. while he did not state that
this is the total streEs h Of the army
unofficial estimates place il a. about
that figure.
AS indicating the amount of food
which must be obtained for the sol
diers General Goethals' statement
showed that a million and a half men
consume every day 100000 pounds OF
beef; 225,000 pounds of bacon; 100000
pounds of ham, $4,000 cans OF toma-
toes; 225, coo cans of jam: 5000 bot
ties Of tomato ketchup and thousands
of other articles.
These enormous quantities Of food
stuffs are subjected to thorough inspec-
tons, which begin at the source and
continue until the food is actually con-
sumed The ramifications of the in
spection service are designed to leave
no doubt that all the supplies purchased
for the army are carefully scrutin-
lied
The inspectors know fruits, vege-
TABLES. meat and the other articles OF
purchase. The army specifications are
clear and exact. The inspectors make
sure they are met and the receiving
officers at the depots assure themselves
that there has been no deterioration
in shipment, thus making their con-
trbution to that continual inspection
which ceases only when the food has
ceased to exist.

Shellac varnish poured over thin

to mend small holes in tinware, gran

DOG HAD LEARNED TO CHEAT
with Human Beings Brought
About His Downfall?

That one dog at least, not only
reasons, but has been known actually
to cheat, is the conviction of Brit
ish army officer who owns a smart
cocker spaniel. Among other tricks,
tie officer has trained the dog TO an-
swor "letter call" and fetch his own
er's mail TO the mess table. Pleased
with the dogs intelligence, the Off
Ger fell into the habit Of giving him
lump of sugar from the breakfast
table.
One morning, soon after the
trnmpeter had sounded letter call"
the spaniel came in with neither pa
pers nor letters. This was unusual,
for the officer subscribed to daily
paper that invariably arrived in the
mornings mail, but he thought little
of il at the time. About eleven
O'Clock, however, the dog entered his
masters quarters and deposited a
muddy paperupon the floor The Off
Ger did not understand the situa-
ton, but he gave the dog a lump of
sugar. Half an hour later the dog
appeared again, with a very muddy
and erumpled letter in his mouth.
Then the owners suspicious we're
aroused.
He gave the dog another lump of
sugar and watched him. He soon
found that the dog had buried the
mornings mail in the rear Of the Of
feer's mess, and was digging it up
letter at a time, apparently with a
view of a lump of sugar for each
piece of mail.-The Great Divide.

A. {. McBREEN
Candidate for
County Treasurer
RerabIIean PrImarIe.. sept 10. I0ls

A. 4. MeBreen. candidate for
county treasurer, is at present
chief deputy under county treas
urer John A. Bennett, and is run
ming on his record Of eight years
experience in the Office, and the
efficient service he has rendered.
He also served in the city treas
urer's Office, starting at the bot
tom and working up to his pres
ent position in the county treas
urer's office. This experience has
given him personal knowledge
and practical experience of all the
departments of the county's fin
ance.
When he started in the county
treasurer's office eight years ago,
it was costing $l.25 to collect ev-
cry 500 of taxes, but through the
improved methods and efficient
service which he was instrumental
in working out and installing. it
is costin today only 53c per 800
collected. Some idea of what this
saving in cost of collection means
TO the taxpayer can be had by re.
membering that the county treas
urer's Office win collect $4,000
10000 this year.
Among many Of the improved
methods installed in the Office, Mr.
McBreen takes especial pride in
the method of placing some 200
900 tax statements in The hands
of taxpayers each year. How much
this mailing of the tax statement
/ TO each individual means can be
appreciated when il is recalled
/ that it used to be necessary tc
take a day off to pay ones taxes.
whereas now the paying can b.
done either by mail or in person
with only the loss OF a few min
utes time.
Mr.. MeBreen also, when he wa'
cashier. had installed the new
cashier machines which number
date, sign and mark paid the tal
statement. thus net only saving
time for the taxpayer but en-
abling the office to handle the evel
increasing volume of business a.
