IAN Ounce of Prevention.
When first the Flu our old town hit
] said I'd keep from getting it;
SO home I went and with great care
| shut out drafts and shut out air.
1 sprinxled sulphur in my shoes,
Then loaded up on blockade booze,
Some calomel and &C. c." pills,
Then castor oil up to my Sills.
I ate ten onions, mighty nigh.
Then drank a slug of Good Old Rye;
Some asafoet'da round my neck,
Then took quinine. about a peck.
To keep from feeling ali forlorn
| fraternized with Barley Corn;
Their aspirin, say twenty grains,
And codeine to keep off pains.
l chewed tobacco, smoked 1t, too,
Then took a dose of Mountain Dew.
With Magic Dope l creased my chest,
Then crawled in bed and tried to rest;

Snuffed Listerine, then tried my flask

If he is right, then / am sure
I'd like to try the likker cure.

SAMARITAN RACE NEAR END
War May Wipe Out Remnant of An
cent Tribe in the
Holy Land.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The last remnant Of
the ancient Samaritan race may be
wiped out of existence, according TO
f. X. Warren. president of the Inter-
national Sunday School association.
Mr.. Warren, in his Sunday school la
bors in the Holy Land, found the lit
tie band of people whose ancestors
made up the great northern division OF
the kingdom of the Jews. There were
l62 persons in the group. and he has
not heard a word from them in 1S
months. Mr.. Warren said the race
dwindled down because it would not
intermarry. Two-thirds of the group
were men and of these "a were draft
ed by the Turkish government for mil
itary service.

Washington, Il. C.-To save mate
rialS and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans "to buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
| teer on or before June 2S, National
| Thrift day, TO invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps or
| other government securities.
"This war is one of nationS-nOt OF
armies" said the president, "and al
of our l00,000,0o0 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
The problem before US is not pri4
marily financial problem, but rather
problem of increased production Of
war essentials and the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment Of our
army and navy. ThOughtlesS eXpendi-
ture of money for nOnessentlalS uses
up the labor Of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories. and
overburdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in a national
thrift movement. / therefore urge
fhot fnnnln hnrn nlaIUn
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, TO the practice OF
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
In all fields necessary TO the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind 10
devote their lahor only to the most
necessary tasks, and TO buy only those
things which are essential To individ-
ual health and efficiency
Buy More w. S. Securities
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities TO do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy In competition with the gov
ernment.
81 earnestly appeal TO every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June 2S to save constant.
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities Of the government.
The 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army of production and saving
here at home. May there be none IN
enlisted on that day"

Order of Director General Follows
Closely After Granting of Pay
Raise to 100000 Employ

NaShlngtOn.-IO meet wage inCreaS-
es Just announced, and higher costs of
coal and other supplies this year Di-
rector General McAdoo has ordered
railroad freight rates in the United
States raised % per cent and passenger
fares increased to 3 cents mile from
the present basis of about 21a cents.
1t IS estimated that the program will
bring between $SOO,0O0,OOO and 5000
100000 more revenues to the railroads
within the next year. 1t represents
by far the biggest rate Increase in the
history of railroads.
The new freight charges, which
cover both class and commodity rates,
become effective June - and the pas
senger increase will go into effect June
10.
issued under authority granted by
the railroad act To President Wilson
acting through the director general,
the order wipes out all interstate lower
rates effective on either freight or pas
senger traffic.
Travellers in standard sleeping and
parlOr cars are required to pay 3l2
cents mile in addition TO Pullman
fares and in tourist sleeping cars 3A
cents. Pullman rates remain the same.
Communication ana other suburban
rates on railroads are increased 10 per

lines are not affected

tiOn and tourist rates, with q few eX
ceptionS, are discontinued, privileges
such as Stop-oVers and free side trips

'SSe' SSSNS %'SStSSSrSSS 'N'Cs
III announcing that the rate increases
are required by public interest, Direc-
tor General McAdoO referred To the
rapidly rising cost of coal, which he eS-
timated this year alone at $16O, 1900, 900
more than last year, and to higher cost
of every other material entering into
railroad transportation. Operating eX-
penSes, he estimated would be be-
tween $S30,O0O,0OO and $500, 900, 900
greater this year than the 81 So ,UOO,-
900 figure Of last year.
No part of the increased rates is on
account of the program of nearly Il
billion dollars of improvements addi-
tions and new equipment this year, he
explained.
1t is earnestly hoped" said the di-
rector general, that all citizens affect
ed directly or indirectly by this increase
of rates will support the general prn-
ciple of such increase as IN unavoid-
able war measure and accept the adj
ditional burden in the same spirit of
Self-Sacritice in which they have ac-
dens and the grievouS personal losses
which are part OF the price that the
nation is patriotically paying for world
liberty"
Mr.. McAdoo called attention 70 the
fact that there is no way in which the
present increases will lure to private
profit
Profits Go Back to People.
IF they turn out to be more than are
needed To meet the grave public exi-
gency," he added, they will promptly
be readjusted so as 10 prevent any un-
necessary burden upon the public but
pending such readjustment, the ex-
cess, If any. will be for the benefit of
the people of the United States as n
whole and not for the benefit of The
private railroad owners of any of them.
TO the extent that savings can be
effected and to the extent that re-
duced prices for the things the rail
roads must buy can be realized. il will
be the purpose of the director general
to make from time TO time appropriate
reductions
The provision that interstate rates
shall he abolished wherever substi-
tute interstate rates between The

velops the first definite conflict be-

GERMANY PLANNED :
 MANY ACTIVITIES AGAINST NEUTRALS
Papers of Won Papen, Taken in Palestine, Showed Well Laid Plans Against
 Holland

Washington, December IS. Papers of Won Papen, the former military attache of the German embassy here, taken from his quarters when the British captured Palestine, and which show that Germany planned U-boat warfare against Holland and Scandinavian countries in October, 1916, were placed in the record today in connection with the Senate iu- dietary committees hearing on German propaganda.
 A letter from pr. Bernard Dernburg, the former German agent in the United States, dated Berlin, October IS, 1916, dis closed the apparent plans of Germany for submarine activities against Euro pean neutrals.
 T have stated my opinion.' said Dern- burg in the letter, "as to the result of

 The copy referred to by Dernburg was not in the papers turned over to the in telligence bureau of the army by the British officials. In his letter Dernburg said his statement had gone officially to Ludendorff and from him to the ad- miralty staff In it Dernburg told Won Papen that he realized Won PRpen did not fully agree with him on the u-boat plan.
 The Won Papen papers were taken among the personal belongings of the officer, who then was a major on the staff of General Liman Won Sanders, commandant of the Turkish forces in Palestine
 The communication from the British officers stated that Won Papen hurriedly left only a few hours ahead of the Brit ish army when it captured Palestine
 Copies of ths papers were furnished by the British military intelligence offices to the American embassy at London, which forwarded them to the American intelligence officers. One of them is a copy of a letter written by pr. Hein- nerieh F. Albert, from New York on November 16 1916
 Albert predicted that President Will son's reelection would result in giving him "a position of much greater inde- pendence." He also predicted that the United States would enter the war if submarine warfare was extended and ex- pressed the hope that such warfare would be restrained within the limits conceded to it. In the exchanges between Washington and Berlin.
 To give time for the preparation of voluminoVs documents to be put in evil dence. the Senate committee decided to- day to postpone until after January l the appearance of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian.
