The Cost of War

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-The d.
rect cost Of the war for all belliger-
ent nations TO last May ! was report
ed at about $4,000, 100000 by the
federal reserve board bulletin, is
sued today, and il is estimated that
the cost will amount TO nearly $780,
600, 100000 before the end of this
year. These calculations we're COM
piled by the board from various
sources and while their accuracy is
not vouched for, the board believes
the figures are substantially correct
For purely military and naval pur-
poses IT is estimated that all belli-
gerents had spent about 1872. 0O0,-
600. 900 up to May 1, or about three
fourths Of the total war costs. The
balance represented interest on debt
and other war expenses
How the cost mounted as the war
grew in proportion from year to
year is illustrated by tabulations
showing that the mobilization and
the first five months Of the war in
1914 cost all belligerents about s10,-
OOO,OOO.OO0 In 1915 the expenses
jumped to $26.OOO.OOO.OOO; in 1916
they increased 10 $4,000. 900 900
and in 1917 they are estimated at
$50. 900. 900. 900. This year expenses
have run only little above the date
last year.
About s15O.OOO.0OO.OOO of the to-
tai war cost has been raised by war
loans Of various nations and com
paratively little by taxation. The
public debt Of the principal entente
allies is calculated at approximately
sos, eco. 600, 600 or more than twice
as much as the aggregate debt OF
the central powers set at $4,000,
OOO. 900. This does not take into
consideration debts incurred since
last May
The enormous size OF the war
costs and debt is illustrated by com
parison with the ante-war debt OF
the seven principal belligerents
which did not exceed $4,000. 600. eco
7 The cost OF supporting this debt was
only about Sl.OO0.00O.00O a year
/ Hereafter the annual burden OF pay
/ interest and sinking fund allow.
ances will be not less than 0.00O.-
600, 600 and probably much more.

RASPBERRY FOR SPECIAL USE
Varieties Come From Different Parts
of America and Europe-Adapted
to Different Uses.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
The varieties of raspberries under
cultivation have come from different
parts of North America and Europe
and are adapted to different conditions
of environment and to different uses.
Thus the Sunbeam and Ohta originat-
ed in South Dakota and generally with

winters there. The Superlative, which

states. The King is a desirable variety
throughout the region between the
Mississippi river and the Appalachian
mountains, where raspberries succeed.
In New York and New England, how
ever, 1t has proved, for the most part,
inferior to many other varieties.
In selecting the varieties of rasp-
berries to cultivate in any locality 1t
is usually important to consider ~
the hardness of the canes, (2) the pro-
ductiveness Of the variety, and (3)
its fitness for the particular purpose
for which the crop is to be used. In
the characterizations here given spe-
cial attention has been paid to these
points.

Don't tolerate mites and lice in your
hennery. They are unnecessary pests
and they sap the vitality that should

effective ways are known for eradicat-
ing lice and mites altogether. First,
a dust bath should be accessible to the
hens. Usually. there will be a place In
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such place
is not available, box large enough
(about 2 feet square) for the hens to
get into it should be provided in the
house and quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
in it to allow the hens a place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
In keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number to prove particularly
harmful. However, it is better to keep
the hens as free as possible from this
pest, and If they are not able to keep
them in check by busting themselves
other measures can be undertaken.
To Eradicate Lice.
To rid the hens of lice, each one car

ScaIloped Potatoes.-Wash and pare
the potatoes, cut in slices and let them
stand a half hour In cold water.
Drain, then put a layer of the pota-
toes in a buttered baking dish, sprin-
kle with salt and pepper, dredge with
flour and dot with bits of oleo or
any butter substitute, adding a little
grated cheese or a few sliced hard
cooked eggs to make more nour-
ishing dish. Repeat until the dish is
full, then cover with hot milk and
bake in a moderate oven one and a
fourth hours.
Potato SaIad.-Mix cold boiled pota-
to, little chopped onion, a cucum-
Der and little celery or some chopped
green pepper; one or all of these will
make a good salad. Garnish with
hard-cooked egg and make boiled
dressing. using the vinegar left from
any sweet picked cucumbers. The
spice and flavor make dressing es-
pecially good. For variety, cold beets,
chopped parsley, cooked carrots or
fresh carrot finely ground, or in fact
any vegetable, may be added to the
potato without hurting it's palatabil-
ity.
Leftover peas and beans with a
slice of tomato for a garnish may be
used in combination with potato. A
hot potato salad is especially well
liked. Here one may use any fat,
olive or corn oil and heat the spiced
vinegar to pour over the potatoes.

Mites Are Blood Suckers.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice, but
during the day hide in the cracks and
crevices of the roosts and walls of the
house, and at night they come out and
get upon the fowls. They suck the
hens blood, and if allowed to become
plentiful-as they certainly will If not
destroyed-will seriously affect her
health and consequently her ability to
