the fire going.
Wear rubbers when snow or ice coats
the walks and pavements.
Be patient, calm, cautious and you
will escape many trifing accidents.
Avoid alcoholic drinks-hard drink
ing encourages freezing more than it
prevents it.
Put all poisOns in special containers

You are your own enemy if you fail
to apply common sense to the problem
of accident prevention
Do not leave candles, lamps or
lighted gas jets near filmy lingeries or

Sure Way To Get
Rid of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails TO remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordt
nary LIQUID arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it. no matter
how much dandruff you may have
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail-Adv.

had the run Of an excellent rye pas
ture and was fed all they would con-
sumo of a balanced ration of cornmeal,
middlings and tankage.
Lot one, settled on cornmeal and
tankage, made an average daily
gain of 1.61 pounds, or slightly more
rapid gains than lot two, which was
fed by the self-feed plan on shelled
corn and tankage, and made daily gain
of 1.53 pounds. Both these lots made
more rapid gains than the pigs in lot
three, which were hand fed on corn
meal, middlings and tankage. Lot one.
however, required 81 pounds more
pounds of gain. The most expensive
gains were made on lot three (thc
handled lot), where 3691 pounds of
mixed feeds were required to produce
100 pounds of gain. The gains were
very profitable In all lots but shelled
corn and tankage settled produced
the best results.
These tests are borne out by results
obtained at a number of state expert
ment stations. In all nearly 600 pigs
have been used In tests at these sta
lions, and the results show clearly that
more rapid gains are obtained with
the self-feeder than by the best hand
feeding methods, partly owing to tn
larger daily consumption of feed per
head, 8 pounds compared to 5.4I
mounds and nartlv owing 70 the more
efficient use Of grain feed. These tests
show that the average daily gain per
head by the handled method was 1.23
pounds, and by the settled method
1872 pounds. The average amount of
feed per 100 pounds of gain was 445
pounds by the handled method, and
AIT pounds by the settled methods.

q. Can the farmer afford to buy
Liberty Bonds?
A. Yes. The value Of thirteen
principal field crops for 1917 is two
and a half times the average value of
those erops-$10, 692, 1861 900 against a
hve-year average Q911-15) of $4,939,-
l42,O00-and the value of all farm
products, plant and animal, has in
creased in about the same proportion.
The farmer has the money with which
TO buy Liberty Bonds and can afford
1t.
Q. Can the farmer afford NOT to
buy Liberty Bonds?
A. No. There was exported last
year $1,969, 849,707 worth of farm
products-almost twice the value of
all farm products exported the year
the European war began.
Q. But is that increase in Ameri-
can exports of farm products due to
Americas participation in the war?
A. Yes-directly and absolutely. If
the United States, instead of declar-
ing war against Germany, had submit
ted to Germany's demands, practically
all American exports of farm products
would have been shut off and the en-
tire product of American farms have
been bottled up in this country.
Q. Suppose the United States had
been so craven as to submit to Ger
many's insulting terms as to ship
ments, been thus deprived of the
right of sending its farm products
abroad and forced to keep all the
fruits of its fields at home. what
would have been the consequence to
the American farmer?
A. The supply of all kinds of farm
products would have exceeded the de-
mand. Prices would have gone down
instead of up. Corn, cotton and other
staple crops would have sold for less
than the cost of production. For MANY
crops, no market at all could have
been found. Farmers who were in
debt would have been unable to meet
their notes and mortgages as thew
came due. Hundreds of thousands
of farmers would have been absolutely
ruined and all of them would have
faced an era Of stagnation and star
walton prices such as Us never been
seen In this country.

UNDER THREE FLAGS
IN THE
TRAIL OF GERMAN 7. N. 7
American Red Cross,

4, Place de la Concorde, Paris.
When Germany plunged the world in
war the United States waited-hoping
against hope-but there were some
Americans who did not wait.
You found them, here and there, in
the ranks of the British army, among
the Canadians and in the Foreign Lee
gion of France.
You found them, too, soldiers of hu-
mainly, driving ambulances behind the
French front and feeding the men, wo-
men and children of Belgium under the
very shadow of German authority and
"reminiscences.
Today, though its work has not
stopped, the Commission for Relies in
Belgium must do without the service
of the Americans in the field. Other
neutrals have been found to take their
places. The question has been asked ::
What has become of the American
field workers of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium?
Some of them are In France. They
who once had to work under the Ger
man flag are now proudly working un-
der the flags of the two republics.
They are inside the lines.
Making Belgium and France Whole
Again.
One of them, Edward Eyre Hunt,
the former delegate for the province
of Antwerp, is now chief of the Blu
reau of Rehabilitation and Relief of the
American Red Cross in France. He
has at least four of his old associates
working In that bureau.
L. G. Wellington, who used to care
for the welfare of the people of Lille
and Valenciennes and the Belgian
province of Luxembourg as representa-
tive Of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, is now in charge of the Ar
ras district as representative OF the
American Red Cross, where he can al
most see the very towns for which he
cared In Belgian commission days.
W. B. Jackson, whose work for the
commission was at Liege, is now depu-
ty for the Somme district In France.
d. S. Morgan, likewise at Liege, is
with Mr. Jackson.

THE FARMER AND THE LIBERTY LOAN


Q. Then the farmers Of the United
States owe to this nations participa-
ton in the war not only their pres
ent prosperity, but also their escape
from condition OF poverty and pri-
walton?
A. Yes. If the United States had
knuckled to Germany, the American
farmer instead of enjoying unprece-
denied prosperity. would have faced
almost unprecedented misery.
@. You say unprecedented pros
perity" and unprecedented misery"
On what is that statement concretely
based?
A. Well, wheat is selling now for
50 bushel. The average price prior
to 1914 was 81 cents a bushel. Corn
is selling for $t28 a bushel. against
an anti-war average of SO cents; cot
ton for nearly $40, against $50 q
bale; tobacco for nearly S25. against
$40 per hundred weight; potatoes for
$1.23, against so cents per bushel,
and SO with all crops. If we had sub
mitted to Germany's demand to stop
sending our products across the
ocean, large quaint les Of these com
modities could not have been sold at
all but would have rotted in the fields
and the top price for wheat where it
sold would not have been more than
so cents a bushel. corn not more than
Is cents bushel, cotton not more
than S. a. hundred and tobacco not
more than 81 hundred.
@. Then the farmer should buy
Liberty Bonds to support the war be-
cause the war has given him prosperi-
ty and because Liberty Bonds consti-
tute sort Of insurance policy for
continued prosperity?
A. That is hardly the way to put
it. The farmer should buy Liberty
Bonds to support the war because
buying Liberty Bonds Is a part of
his duty to his country But, fortu.
nately for him, the war has put him
in such condition of prosperity that
he can buy literally of Liberty Bonds
without hurting himself. There is
scriptural injunction to give unto the
Lord according as the Lord has pros
pered you. 1t applies to this phase
of the cause of right just as thorough
ly as any other.

DEFENDS LOWER BlRTH-RATE
Writer In Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm In
Its Continuance.

This is the rule of evolution-fewer
offspring, a longer period of infancy,
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks In the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, a writer in
the Edinburgh Review points out
Among fishes, species that exhibit
no sort Of parental care. the average
of 40 gives 100000 eggs to a female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology. for nests
the number Is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working
Among savage or semiciyilized peoples
the birthrate is very high, as Is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But, as fast as civilization makes
its influence felt, the result is seen In
a lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations In Europe which were
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austria-are the
countries of highest birthrate, and
hence Of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: 'Those who would seek
to restore the birthrate of half CEN
fury ago are engaged In task which
would be criminal If it were not based
on ignorance and which is in any case
fatuous."

The Great Cham of Literature was
a term formerly general in its APP
plcation to Samuel Johnson, arising
from a reference to that quaint and
autocratic master of letters in a let
ter from Doctor Smollett to John
Wilkes in 1850. The term suggests
the Great Cham sometimes CHAM of
Tartary whom many writer's Of that
day employed as figure typifying
despotism. In the letter referred to,
however. the term is used somewhat
ironically. for the so-called Great
Cham had appealed to Smolett to Sc
cure the discharge of his negro serv-
ant from the navy and it was through
Wilkes, who had nursed grudge
against Johnson, that the discharge
was procured Smollett's Inference
was that under such circumstances
the Great Cham was humble man.
