WAR AND PEACE CASUALTIES
More Spectacular to Lose Limbs in
Battle Than in Factory, but Re-
Education Is Necessary.

George Edward Barton, author of
"Re-Education," recently gave out a
most interesting interview in Wash
ington, where he had gone to see the
secretary of war, the French ambas-
sador and the heads of several de-
partments of the surgeon generals
office on the subject of the re-educa-
ton of manned and crippled soldiers.
Mr.. Barton, who is head of Consola-
ton House in New York, said in
part:
"The needs of the re-education Of
cripples are not made by war, but are
only intensified by it; we draft a
whole army of industrial cripples
every year. The federal commits
sion on industrial relations gives the
annual list Of accidents, approxi-
mately, $4,000 fatalities and 100000
injuries involving disability of over
four weeks.
"That these figures would be
equaled by the casualty list in our
army overseas is improbable, and
while it is perhaps more spectacular
to lose ones arm or leg in the din
the turmoil of battle than it is to
lose the same member in that of q
mill, factory or foundry, the results
so far as the individual is con-
cerned-are practically the same,
and the needs of society for the re-
education of that man are identical"
Mr.. Barton's book formulates a
plan whereby disabled soldiers may
be made almost or wholly self-sup-
porting.

HANDS, ARMS,

Nervous, Says Florida Lady.
Five Bottles Of Cardui
Made Her We'll.

Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prime,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child. II got very much
rundown and weakened, so much

all. was so awfully nervous that

noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time.
I knew must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked DR..

said, It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble, SO he got me bot
ties. After about the second bottle
felt greatly improved. u. before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap-
peared. My strength came back to
me and was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bot
ties, could do all my house-worll
and attend to my six children be-

You can feel safe in giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed Of mild, vege-
table, medicinal ingredients with no
bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling of
the good Cardui has done them. It
should help you, too. Try it. E "a

SUPPLIES FROM ARCTIC ZONE
Eskimo SIaughters and Allows 70
Waste Many Valuable Animals,
Declares an Explorer.

It appears that the Eskimo is just
as consistent and conscientious in
killing animals as his civilized broth
er Of warmer climes is in killing
men, observes the Detroit News.
He kills, therefore, in the course
of the year, many more animals
than he has any use for, but as he
has no idea Of an export market, he
merely throws the carcasses out to
the wolves, or lets them sink in the
sea.
"The actual amount of meat, fish,
fat, oil and leather that could be
brought in by the Eskimos is enor-
NOUS" says Christian Leden, who
has been an Arctic explorer for many
years. "By utilizing only the seven
tribes I visited in my last exploring
expedition, we could have 100000
pounds of caribou meat, 100000
pounds of caribou fat, 100000
pounds Of walrus meat, 100000
pounds of baluga or white whale
meat, 100000 pounds of salmon,
13,S0O,0O0 pounds Of oil from wal
rus, seal and bulaga, 100000
pounds of walrus leather, 100000
pounds of whale leather, 100000
pounds of sealskins and 10000
pounds of walrus and narwhal
ivory"
This is obviously no mean addition
to the failing supplies Of the tenn
perate zone.

WAR GARDENS WERE SUCCESS
Home Vegetable Patches Yielded $780,
100000 and Expected to Do Better
Next Summer.

What about the war gardens of
1917? Did they amount to anything? ?
Did they yield any profits? Will
there be war gardens in 1918?
The national emergency food gar
den commission declares the war
gardens were success, and gives the
greatest encouragement for next
Years war gardens.
In 1917 there we're nearly 9,O00,-
OGO gardens, aggregating 100000
acres Of city and town land under
cultivation. As these gardens we're
titled intensively, tie products had
relatively high value, being figured
in terms of retail prices which would
have otherwise been paid for food
purchased elsewhere, it is estimated
that their yield was valued at $780,
100000, OF $3.50 per family.
The glass jar manufacturers sold
about 119, 100000 canning jars and
a survey Of the household canning
in 20 typical towns throughout the
country showed that housewives used
but one new jar to over three and
one quarter old jars already on
hand.
On this basis the housewives of the
country put up nearly 50O,OOO,00O
quart jars of vegetables and fruits,
which is believed to be three times as
much as was ever packed before.

AUTUMN WHISPERS FROM OVERSEAS

He is sergeant of artillery in France) God gave France little touch of home and cheer today Brought here crisp clear wind and flutternr leaves and frost to play A symphony of fa1l grand and glorious ovefc there: lullaby of seasons sweet any mothers prayer He brought the shivering sunbeams and rustic in the leaves That echoed lovingly call flung from our own home Of harvest time! of gatherings around the cracking
 flames; Of laughter bubbng from the joy of children at their

OH, TO BE IN PARIS

Oh to be in Paris when the drum of victory beats! To watch the flags blue flower make glad gardens of the streets To in tear-soft woman eyes the glory and the pride The high, white flame of knowledge that the dead justified! Oh, to be in Paris when the troops home again. Out of storm and thunder threat; out of shrapne To the gallant living march beneath the clean, free sky! And hail the ghosts which march with them the dead who cannot die Oh watch the sunlight glint on Maid Jeannes holy lancet And then just God to kneel and kiss the sacred soil of France!

Do Not Think in Peace Terms

One thing to be kept in mind at this time is that the effect of peace when it will not at first be felt throughout the country. We will miss the daily casualty list There will perhaps, be no more de- partures of men for camp and cantonment. There will be. though not immediately. a letting down of mu- milton manufacturing, which in parts of the country will be adverse effect of peace
 We have been year and half in bringing our armies together It will take twice as long to de- mobilize them and it will be almost as expensive to demobilize them it to assemble them There be close approach to normal conditions of peace until these men have been restored to their places and engaged with the rest of us in the work of production and the increase of the national wealth.
 We cannot pull out" of Europe once the Ger mans cry, Enough" and leave France and Bel gum to restore themselves. There will be work for some millions of in reconstruction and other millions for police duty. A great and the most popu- lous of the continent will be in disorder Dozens of small nationalities in the Balkans in Russia and in Turkey in prospect. Their interests will be in conflict and each will have discordant elements within Unless there is strong hand their arms will soon be in conflict Though the war may be over any day, we doomed war conditions for many months to come It is not therefore time to think in terms of peace a peace which cannot in any circumstances immediately affect us if it should come today.
 The war work must go on, in preparation for peace just all the the world has been doing for the last four has been in preservation for permanent peace.
 Subscriptions to the United War Work fund should be as generous if the Germans were still driving on toward Paris and the channel What is happening across the waters, what can possibly hap pen, has nothing to do with the War Work drive Make up this week Arizona Maricopa countys quotas and go over the top fifty per cent

The German Revolution

The German revolution Is under way The news from Berlin is strangely like that which came from Peirograd twenty months ago when the empire was overthrown and the country entered upon it's long disorder The far does not clearly in dcate what hand is controlling the revolution in Ger many. If the socialists strong enough to main tain the direction of it. it will probably be orderly and there will be red terror.
 There is not much combustible material in Ger man vas there Russia. There is less ignorance and much more of orderly habit, the result of turies of training. There less dissatisfaction with things they To all Germans the Fatherand meant something. The national senti- u@nt has always been strong In Russia there never a national sentiment. Russians rule tertained neither pride love of country. The lower classes of the Russians had only instinc- tive love of what they called home the locality in which they lived and in which they permitted 70 maintain disorder
 Those who misunderstood Germany hoped that revolution might be brought the aid of the allies; that appeal to the people in behalf of democracy would produce uprising against their oppressors Hut the Germans did understand that they being oppressed. They were in condition which they rather liked MT. Gerard and others better quainted with Germany pointed out the hopeless of revolution long the German armies were victorious or remained unconquered. There could be disturbance of the contents of Germany long the military shell remained unbroken. But at length it broken, and the time for the revou- ton and the revolution has come-from beneath the only direction from which uprising may proceed
 The movement in Germany may complicate the negotiations for the armistice in this way only: The proceedings so far taken an assumption that they would be conducted with the representatives responsible government There a form of popu- lar government when the supreme council of the allies delegated to General Foch the conclusion an armistice. It meant that General Foch should receive the unconditional surrender of Germany. now it appears that there is Germany no govern ment to make surrender. That be accomplished only by the German armies in the field laying down their arms.
 There would then be armstce in effect an end of the fighting because there would no enemy 10 fight.

  THOUGHT our boys
  COULD all start walking OR THAT they could ALL pack on THE GERMAN navy and SAIL FOR Hoboken OR GET behind $ SOME LIBERTY motors AND FLY across. WONDER who he thought WOULD police Berlin AND kRUPPs and Essen. AND BUILD the railroads, THE TOWNS and bridges, AND GUARD the kaiser AND HIS six sons AND SEE that they DIDN'T BREAK their parole IF THEY are ever
  LUCKY ENOUGH to get one AND DO all the jobs AS WELL as they've done
  THAT of knocking
  THE HELL out of Wilhelm. l WONDERED if he thought THAT IF this work WAS NEEDED by our boys
  WHEN THEY are fighting, HOW MUCH more IT WOULD be needed WHEN THEY were IN PEACEFUL pursuits AND THEY want to get BACK TO home AND THEY can't see WHY THEY could not HAVE BEEN on the first boat AND LET the other fellow stay AND CLEAN up the mess.
