NonessentiaI Industries.

Assurances that for the present at
least nonessential industries would not
be disturbed were given recently at a
conference of Uncle Sans new war
service committees which have been
appointed to cooperate with the coun-
ell of national defense. The object
was touched on by Daniel Willard,
chairman of the war industries board |;
Dr. H. A. Garfield, fuel administrator,
and w. S. Clifford, director of the coun-
Gil of national defense. Mr.. Willard
pointed out that some industries are
and will be more essential than others
in the winning of the war. Doctor
Garfield said that list had been pre-
sented to him of between 500 and 600
industries, in one of which $1,000,O00,-
600 was invested, and which were CALI
ed nOnessential industries. The COM
mitteeS which met in conference rep
resent all the different industries in
the country, one committee being ap-
pointed for each class of industry.

prepared by the United States Depart

Since the operation Of pruning in
wolves the making of wounds and ready
healing depends upon a smooth, uni
fOrmly cut surface, the selection of
pruning tools is important. 1t is OBJ
viOus that a tool which operates in
the manner of knife will leave such
surface as Is desired; but it Is not
always possible, in pruning large trees,
to use simple knife. Where a knife
will serve the purpose, as in the prun-
ing Of shrubs and small trees, the
hawkbill knife Gig. u will be found
most satisfactory. Where larger
branches are to be removed, the hand
pruning shears Gig. p, which consist
of a strongly made shear which is
opened by a spring, and the blade
made of well-tempered steel and pro-
vided on the opposite side with a
guard similar to that shown in Fig. 3,
is the most convenient device. Where
still larger branches, which can be re-
moved without saw, are to be pruned,

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-

urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu

LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
Most Of the Money Remains Here
for War Materials.
Secretary Of the Treasury Explains
How and Why, and the Benefits
Uncle Sam Derives.

The loans made by the United
States to the governments at war with
Germany are arranged by the secretary
of Uncle Sans treasury and submit
ted to the president and made with his
approval.
The secretary states that his judg-
ment in making these loans is deter
mined largely by the monthly require
ments Of the applicants. The different
powers, through their duly authorized
representatives, make their repre-
sentatiOns as to their necessities
for carrying on the war, and after dis
cussion the various amounts are ar
rived at.
These loans, says the secretary, are
essential for our own protection. not
only for our protection in military
way, but for our economic protection
and welfare. The production of the
United States has been speeded up and
greatly stimulated. We are producing
more than our own needs, and our own
economic protection and welfare de-
mand that we sell much of cur prod
ucts to our allies. To accomplish this
we must extend these credits to enable
them to buy our products.
Their commercial salvation Is an es-
sentlal part Of their effectiveness in
the war, and their commercial well-be-
ing demands that their export trade be
maintained in a considerable measure.
They must keep their civil population
engaged to the extent necessary to sus-
tain their industrial and economic ex-
istence. 1t is sound economic policy
on our part to assist them in maintain
ing their industrial life and economic
welfare.
Very little of the money loaned to
our allies, the secretary states, goes
out Of the United States. Most of it
is spent right here for war materials
and foodstuffs. The money we are ad-
vanclng is not a contribution; it is a
loan, on which they will pay interest
and which ultimately will be repaid in
full. Our allies are looked upon by US
as solvent peoples, without ready mon
ey but with perfectly good credit.
Their expenditures of this money in
this country are supervised by US.
Their purchases are made with the ad-
vice and assistance of our war indus
tries board. This system not only pro-
tects the borrowing ally but prevents
competitive bidding against the other
allies and the United States itself, and
obtains for the borrower the same
prices, the same terms, and the same
treatment our own government de-
mands in making it's own purchases.
When one remembers that the loans
made to our allies enable them to do
the fighting that otherwise the Amerl-
can army would have to do at much
expense, not only Of men but Of money,
money which would not be returned to
us and lives that could never be re.
stored, the wisdom of our policy in
financing our allies is plain to every
one. 1t Is not only duty to them that
we are performing in lending them
part of our great wealth; it is great
duty we are performing to our SOL
diers and sailors and our nation in
making our allies powerful and effec-
tive, thus lessening the work and dan.

uroes Use of currencY.

Use of Uncle Sans currency in
stead of gold as circulating medium
was urged recently by Secretary Nc
Adoo in a statement addressed par
ticularly to firms and corporations
which employ gold coin for their pay
rolls because of the convenience of
handling it through counting machines.
Pointing to the abrasion and loss of
value resulting from such use of gold,
the secretary asked that paymasters
and the banks subordinate personal
convenience or profit to the general
welfare.

Mintaue of UncIe sam,s Money

Unprecedented war demand for
coins resulted in the mintage of more
money during the past year, than in
any year of history, said Director Ba-
ker of the mint in his annual report
issued recently. A total of 406,000,0OO
coins worth $25, ,445,0O0 were manufac-
tured at the Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco and Denver mints, or nearly three
times more than in the preceding year.
More than half, or 213,500,O0O, of the
new coins were cent pieces, $780,
600 were dimes and 76,O0O.OOO were
nlckels.

TO MAKE CALF PROFITABLE
Good, Intelligent Care and Placing at
Its Disposal Plenty of Feed
Are Essential.

There is but one way to make the
calf profitable, no matter what it's
hereditary tendencies may be or how
it's ancestors may assist in directing
it's future usefulness. This plan of d.
recting the calf means good, intelli-
gent care and placing at its disposal
plenty of feed. The fall calf Is to
some extent handicapped by the cold
season of the year and the fact it must
depend mainly upon dry feed and upon
the promptness of it's caretaker.

Shears for Pruning Hedges.-For the

saw upon the market which combines
both features, that of cutting on the
downward stroke and on the upward
stroke, one edge Of the saw being pro-
vided with teeth for each motion. The
blade of the saw is also curved, as
shown in Fig. 6, which enables one to

Fig. 2 have been modified so as to be

shown in Fig. 5, which enables an op-
orator standing upon the ground to re-
move branches several feet above his

same objection as those previously de-
scribed, that they cut by crushing
process, but nevertheless they are ex-
ceedingly useful and economical for
the removal of water sprouts and for
cutting back leading shoots in tall
trees.
Pruning Saws.-Where the removal
of large branches becomes necessary, a
saw must be substituted for the knife
or the shears. In such cases it is

MONEY NOT EVERYTHING
America Must Put it's Real Spirit in
War to Assure Victory.

War to Assure Victory.
The following article by Harry A.
Elrnshaw was published in u recent
issue of the Tobacco World:
The population contains a large
percentage OF persons you have to
wind up at the side with u key. Such
persons are loyal, though, to be sure.
They say, What's the matter with
YOU: Ain't / doing my bit? When
they came TO me l subscribed to the
Liberty Loan. When they asked me l
gave money to the Red Cross. / have
bought war-savings stamps for my
children. l never eat meat on meat
less days. nor wheat on wheatless
days Whenever they play the Star
Spangled Banner l stand up. What
more do you want?"
What more. Good God, do such
persons realize what this war means
Do they realize after paying all the
taxes and buying all the bonds and
denying ourselves every luxury and
doing all the other things we are ask
ed to do that we will still have to
multiply our sacrifices by a thousand
before we even approach the price
paid by the people Of Belgium and
France?
Every man who isn't taking this
war home'to himself and making 1t a
part Of his life is a nonessential.
Every man who does not make the
cause OF his country the subconscious
thought back Of every action Of his
daily life is not living up to the pos
sibilities of his citizenship. He is not
doing his part in the glorious work for
the liberation Of humanity from des-
potism.
The shouting must stop, and the
shooting begin. We can afford to leave
of singing the star Spangled Banner
long enough to 60 out and work to
keep that holy and sacred flag from
defilement in the dirty paws Of the
German kaiser-the paws that are
dripping with the blood Of murdered
millions"
