HIRSUTE CONSERVATION
LATEST WAR MEASURE

Los Angeles, Cal.-Conserva-
ton of whiskers is the latest
wartime measure advocated
here. If every man and youth
would refrain from getting a
haircut and shave for q month,
mathematicians figure something
like 100000 would be saved in
labor, time, rent, electricity and
gas.
This, however, admittedly
would be hard on the barber and
the opposition of the ladies to a
months growth Of picturesque
hirsute adornments on beau and
husband is insurmountable.

GOOD COMBINATIONS
OF WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

The following, taken from a circu
lar of the U. S. Food Administration
will be of interest to Colorado house
wives:
You will get better results II you
mix two substitutes than If you use
just one alone. Some good combina
tions are:
Relied oats (ground) and corn
flour.
Barley flour and rice flour.
Ruckwheat flour and potato flour.
Peanut flour and sweet potato
flour.
Soy-bean flour and corn meal.
Caution
1. All measurements should be ac
curate. A standard measuring cur
is equal to half pint.
2. Tie batter often looks too thick
and sometimes too thin, but you will
find that If you have measured as
given in the tatle the result will be
good after baking.
3. Bake all substitute mixtures
more slowly and longer.
4. Drop biscuits are better than the
rolled biscuits, when substitutes are
used.
5. Pie crusts often do met roll well
and have to be rated ON the pan
They do not need chilling before
baking.-C. A. C. News Notes.

HOW THE KAISER RAISES FUNDS

A representative of the financial
house of ]. p. Morgan & Co., gives
us the following report on the meth
DDS by which the German expense
account is managed:
In Germany credit is Unlimited
Before the war was declared the
Germans had the machinery all pre-
pared fer oIenirg war loan banks
and they started these to work i'm
mediately, A man may go to one
of these banks, mortgage his proper
ty, real CT personal. and receive
currency for the amount of the loan
that is, paper money issued by the
loan banks. He can take his bonds
of the first government war loan
md Pledge them as security for a
lean with which he buys bends of
the second war issue. This latter i'm
turn he can pledge as security for a
lean to buy third war loan bonds
Germany's eight war loans have been
issued and laid on that kind of an
iAlldteu pyUdmlu.
The latest estimates indicate that
there are now about $25, 900, 900 900
in the pyramid.
Such an initiation of bank credits
naturally trings about initiation in
the currency. The Reichsbank, be-
fore the war, was required to keep
a cash balance equal to at least one
third OF it's notes outstanding; the
remaining two-thirts had to be COW
cred by short-dated. three-name pa
por.
The Reichsbank issued Its notes
and, in order to provide cover for
these notes, a law was passed max
ing imperial treasury bills eligible as
raper cover. Then another law was
passed making the notes of the war
loan banks eligible as cash cover. In
December, 1913, the total issues of
paper money i'm Germany were $780,
100000. Now the paper money is
sues have been increased by more
than $1,000, 100000, or sevenfold.
Although gold reserves have in.
creased by about $3.50, 900, 900, the
proportion of geld to paper money
has failed from AZ rer cent to 12
per cent.

DEAFNESS
CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Their is only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that is by constitu-
tlonal remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamcd condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. Unless this
inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
TO SAFEGUARD SEA
England and America Can Solve
| Problem, Says Grey
SHUT OUT. EVIL POWERS
Britain's Former Foreign Secretary
Says Americas Aid Brought
Victory.

Victory.
Dewsbury, Eng, Dec. 11.-A league
of nations is the solution of the ques-
tion of freedom Of the SEAS" and
Great Britain and the United States
can reach complete agreement on
that question by joining such lea
que, declared Viscount Grey, former
foreign secretary, in a speech here.
The seas, the Viscount said, were
free in times of peace, and Great
Britain has placed no restrictions up
on them. During the war the Amer
lean navy had aided the British navy
in maintaining the blockade and Lord
Grey thought that the United States
would use the same weapon if neces-
sity for it arose in the future. With
out the blockade, he added, Germany
might have won.
The term "freedom Of the seas" he
| continued, was American in origin
and had been adopted by the Ger
mans for their own purposes. He be-
lieved President Wilson meant free
dom of the seas to all who joined a
league of nations, but the phrase
needed clearer definition.
Doesn't Anticipate Trouble.
In his discussion of the freedom of
the seas Viscount Grey said:
"This is a matter which, it is found,
may create difficulties between Pres
ident Wilson and the British Govern
ment. l think it is great pity that
so much has been said about the free
dom of the seas without beirg de-
fined. 1t is true there is considerable
prejudice against the phrase largely
due to the fact that it is believed to
be a German phrase 1t is not Ger
man, but American. 1t was made in
the United States and the Germans
adopted and used it for their own
purposes in a sense to which we have
never agreed. Hence its unpopular
ity. But until President Wilson de-
fines it and comes to discuss it with
our government there is no need tc
anticipate difficulty about an agree.
ment as to what it means.
Full Credit to America.
Freedom to the seas in times OF
peace? If so we agree. If the ques-
ton is one Of the freedom of the
seas in times Of war then | would say
this: The United States, as we all
most gratefully recognize, has taken
part in the last two years of the war.
Without the United States we could
not have had the success the Allie.
have now won. But since the Unite /
States entered the war she has not
only acquiesced, but, believe, most
strongly cooperated, in carrying out
the blockade of Germany. In the early
stages of the war the blockade wAs
not nearly SO complete, because the
United States raised many questions
about it, but in the later years Of the
conflict the blockade was made COM
plete with the cooperation of the Uni
ted States. Without that Blockade sue
cess could not have been won. Indeed.
without the blockade Germany might
have won
