50 --that Day Is
Germany's DOOM

There IS one simple easy way by which every family
III the United States can stand up and be counted-by
which every and child enlist in the hun
dred million, all-American army which the Germans
dread.
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire war made by a prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because thew
cannot arrive IN time what we fear the intelligence and
devotion Of one hundred million Americans trained to
1alth IN individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one, that day is Germany's doom!'
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American sol
dlers will arriver in time
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act one"
How can prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How we convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to our country
BY War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1918, SAP, worth S. on January 1, 1928
II you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buv 2 T.
s. Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep on bIvnp them
until you have 16. Then add few cents in cash and ey
change them for the War Saving Stamp
Begin to do this now Save every cent YOU can and
put it into these stamps
The money will be used Immediately to provide puns
ammunition food clothing and other supplies for our SOL
dierS and sailors " "
This will be bad news for the kaise-the worst he has
ever heardtor will prove to him that we are ready o
ac DIS one. IL VIII prove that not only our men, but
every uoiia we nave IS behind

U. S. NOT TO GRAB
TRADE DURING WAR

America must not at this time seek
to attain a dominant place in the
markets of the world for postwar
trade, when her allies, weakened by
years of struggle with q common
enemy, are compelled to neglect trade
which for years has been theirs.
American business men must not
take advantage of favorable condi-
tions induced by the war to line their
pocketbooks.
This is the attitude OF War Trade

The patriotic Americans who are
seeking solution Of after-the-war
economic problems are told the
primary task now is to win the war.
and nothing must be done which
might lead the allies or the other
nations Of the world to suspect
Americas motives in the war are to
extend her trade at the expense of

MERCHANTS MEET
TO CONSIDER DRAFT

Washington merchants today are
planning to fiIl the places OF those en-
ployes who will be called into military
service through the operation OF the
eighteen to forty-five selective service
act.
At a meeting OF the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association yesterday
afternoon, Charles ]. Columbus, secre-
tary of the organization. pointed out
the classes of occupations listed as be
ing insufficient to postpone the call
into military service OF any regis
trant.
Among this list are sales clerks, Of
fee clerks. and all other department
clerks in all wholesale and retail es-
tablishments engaged in the selling OF
good and wares y.
Secretary Columbus also explained
an invitation sent the association by
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
viting the business interests of the
country to set up claims for the ex-
emption'o OF employees necessary in the
maintenance of their businesses.
The association discussed the store
hours for the winter, and a committee
of five was appointed to take up the
question with a view OF aiding in the
street car situation. A committee of
three was appointed to receive testi-
mony from the business men OF the
city as to the handling OF parcel post
matter.
A resolution OF sympathy was
adopted on the death OF Meyer Fell
heimer. who formerly represented the
Hub Furniture Company in the asso-
citation.

HIGHER WAGES
ATTRACT MANY
NEW WORKERS
TO CAR LINES
BY BILL PRICE.

Officials OF the two street railway
companies today report that the wage
increases granted to employees on both
lines have brought a large number of
applications for positions, thus giving
rise to the hope that additional motor
men and conductors will imprve the
service for the present at least.
The haunting fear of the operating
heads OF both companies Is that the new
draft will take from them more men
than apply for positions because Of fthe
increased pay. thus again leaving
scarcity OF men and. consequently,
fewer cars than should operate.
1t is hoped by officials that sufficient
new men will apply for work to enable
them to dispense with bad eggs" that
were taken on-hen irresponsible care
less. sometimes dishonest The roads
have lost much money through open
knocking down" by conductors. The
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany has admittedly lost thousands Of
dollars in the last sixteen months
through this process.
After w. b. L A. Cars.
John A. Beeler, consulting engi-
neer OF the Public Utilities Commits
sion, is once more suggesting to the
Commission that the operation of the
big cars of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis line into the
heart of the city is greatly interfer-
ing with the maintenance OF a good
headway service for Columbia line
cars which end their Western bound
trips at Fifteenth street and New
York avenue.
The accommodation isl in con-
nection with new schedules Mr.. Beel-
er has prepared for the Columbia
line, intended to give as regular
headway as possible to the cars over
that line. This schedule provides
that during the morning and after
The Washington times., 1918-09-14

non rush hours there will be a car
every five minutes to and from the
District line to Fifteenth and New
York avenue and one every 1 II min
utes between Fifteenth and II streets
northeast and Fifteenth and NeV
York avenue. In the non-rush hours
the cars over these routes Will be
spaced ever five and fifteen minutes
respectively.
Through cars from the Treasury to
KenilYorth will be taken off, and
car operated every fifteen minutes
between Kenilworth and Kenilworth
Junction, connecting width District
line cars.
A more rapid service is provided
for over the line between Bladens-
burg and Fifteenth and II streets
northeast.
Mr. BeeIer declares that the heavy
cars of the w, b & A ltRe, slow IN
starting, speed and loading, will mill
tate against the good effects of the
proposed changes on the Columbia
line. He has 'onS recommended that
the big cars be stopped at Fifteenth
and H streets northeast.
Schedule improvements.
Great improvement in service on
the Eleventh street line of the W. r.
& z. road is promised by the new
plans of Mr.. Beeler. This line should
long ago have relievA the congestion
on the Fourteenth s.. eet line OF the
Capital Traction, which 1t parallels.
Bad service, though. threw nearly all
the burden on the Fourteenth street
line. II is now proposed to give a
ree-and-one-half-min schedule
over the Eleventh street line through
the non-rush hours and better still In
the rush hours. The cars, instead OF
going through to Anacostia and Con-
gress eHights, will stop downtown
at Four-and-a-half street and Mis-
souri, avenue and the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing.
Thousands OF people along East
Capitol street and adjacent territory
are promised important Improvement
in the service of cars to and from
Lincoln Park. "Lincoln Park" cars
have heretofore operated by way Of
Union Station, losing much running

BRITISH PRAISED

FRANCE, Sept 14.-Gen. Sir Henry
Rawllnson, commander of the fourth

ish army for delivering the city and
the Picardy sector from the ruthless
hands of the enemy. He returned TO
Amiens to re-establish his diocese
Between 5000 and 5000 inhabitants
already have returned to their homes.

The eeler people have found. that
entirely too many cars operate by
way of the Union Station. The pre-
sumption that the Union Station was
a gold mine for street railways is not
warranted to the extent of glutting

Great Wall of China.

An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the great wall of China was
recently made at Shanhaikwan by j.
@. Witt, a chemist attached to the bu-
reau of science, Manila. Mr.. Witt re-
ports that the bricks are so, weak that
pieces may be easily broken off with
the fingers. They are much larger than
ordinary building bricks, gray in color,
and resemble pumice somewhat Tin
structure. The mortar, which is pure
white under the exposed surface, Is
much stronger than the bricks. The
tradition that the bricks were dried in
the sun only was confirmed by labora-
tory tests. If they had been dried in
a kiln the appearance Of the wall
would have been considerably different
and its strength and durability would
have been much greater. The general
appearance and analysis of the mortar
Indicate that no sand was mixed with
the lime.

Juice Of Lemons!
How to Make Skin
White and Beautiful

At the cost Of small Jar Of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare full
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice Of
two fresh lemons into bottle contain
ing three ounces Of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as sallowness,
freckles and tan and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of or
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint Of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. It
naturally should help to soften, fresh
en-, bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is wonderful to
smoother rough, red hands. Adv.

GIVE cows BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used by Animals in Quite Differ
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
suits are always secured and the most
economic use Of feeds is obtained by
providing balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes of nutrients in feeds, proteins,
carbohydrates, and fats, are used by
different animals in quite different pro-
portions. A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires, is called a balanced
ration. When enough Of each of these
classes Is fed there is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount Of
one class of nutrients. Protein is used
by the animal chiefly to form the mus
cles or lean flesh of the body, the hair,
the horns, the hoofs and the casein in
the milk. The carbohydrates and the
fat are source Of energy in the body,
as well as that Of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising Of q balanced ra-
ton is not difficult II one has at hand
tables which show the digestible nutri-
ents of the various feeds. Many farm
ers. however. obtain good results by
more simple methods, and have found
the following rules useful:
1. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. II the roughage contains eight to
ten pounds of leguminous hay, such as
clover, cowpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that it will contain
from IA to 16 per cent of protein. If
the roughage does not contain large
proportion of leguminous hay, but Is
composed largely Of corn silage, corn
stalks, and timothy hay, mix the grain
ration to contain 20 70 "a per cent Of
protein.
3. To cowSsuch as Jerseys or Guern-
seys, giving milk testing per cent in
butterfat or higher, feed the grain mix
ture at the rate of one pound to every
three pounds of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 31a per
cent in butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture to every
three and one-half to four pounds of
milk produced.
A. If the COW is in poor flesh and is
giving good flow Of milk, she will u.s.
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.

which discusses the feeding of dairy
cows, will be sent free on application

food the first "a hours after narrowing,
but should be given a liberal drink OF
warm water. If, however, she shows
signs of hunger, thin slop of bran
and middlings may be given. The feed.
ing for the first three or four days
should be light and the time consumed
in getting the SOW on full feed should
be from a week to ten days, depending
on the size and thrift of the litter.
The sow's Feed.
Great care must be taken to feed the
sow properly. If she is not being prop
erly fed, the little pigs will show it.
If the pigs follow the SOW around very
much and pull at her teats, it is good
sign that she is not giving enough milk,
and more feed should be given to slim
ulate the milk flow. When a SOW is
overfed, causing heavy flow of milk,
securing is generally produced in the
pigs. If this happens, cut down the
sow's feed Immediately. Give the sow
Is or 20 grains of sulphur of iron Coop
peras) in her slop morning and even
ing, and If necessary, Increase the dose
until results have been obtained.
Exercise Is Necessary.
After the SOW has narrowed, 1t is
best for her to be in the open air. OF
course, if the pigs are farrowing dur
ing the winter months, care will be
needed, and it may be necessary to let
the pigs reach the age of two weeks
before turning them out. They can,
however, get considerable exercise in
the piggery or in the lot with the sow,
and there Is often lot adjoining a
barn that is sunny and sheltered from
the cold Winds. where the SOW and
pigs may be turned for exercise. Do
not allow the pigs to run out during a
cold rain.
If they do not get exercise. they will
get fat and lazy and the usual result
is the "thumps.'" This is caused by the
fat getting so thick around the heart
and lungs that the pigs find 1t difficult
to breathe. The best way to prevent
| this is to avoid overlooking and make
| the young pigs take plenty of exercise.

DAIRY
FACTS
RECORD BY TlLLY ALcARTRA
Famous HoIstein Recently Came
Through With New High Mark Of
40.56 Pounds of Butter.

'You can't keep good man down."
and this aphorism is as true of cows
as it is Of men. In proof Of which is
the news that the famous purebred
Holstein, lilly Alcartra, is again at her
old tricks Of rolling up records. She
recently dropped her sixth calf, heif-
er. and gave such promise Of another
successful lactation period ahead Of
her that her owners decided to put
her on test.
She came through with new mark
for seven days with 4O56 pounds of
butter out of 1901 pounds Of milk,
which shows the pace she is making in
the yearly test she is on.
With this record she is the twenty
fifth "40-pound" Holstein COW.
lilly Alcartra has to her credit the
production of 3O,451.4 pounds of milk
yielding 1,1S9.O3 pounds Of butter in
