ENLISTED MEN MUST HELP
ouired to Be Allotted for Benefit
OF Their Dependents.

Every enlisted man in the military
or naval forces of the United States
must allOt for the benefit of wife or
child an amount equal to the govern.
ments family allowance, with maxi.
mum, however, of half his pay and
minimum of SIS per month. according
to the American Review of Reviews
If he has no wife or child and makes
no voluntary allotments for other de-
pendentS, or for other purposes, the
secretary of war or navy may require
him to deposit with the government at
4 per cent compound interest half his
pay, or so much of half his pay as he
does not allot either for his dependents
or for other purposes.
This puts the man with dependents
more nearly on democratic footing
of equality with one who has none and
the better-paid American soldier with
the poorer paid European with whom
he is fighting.
The family allowances are based or
a graduated scale depending on the
number of dependents, and are condi.
toned on allotments of equal amounts
up to half pay. In no case, however
does the allowance exceed $50 for one
family. An ordinary enlisted man re
ceiving s33 per month In foreign serv'
ice, If his family Is large enough may
be required to alot $3.50 per month
and secure thereby for his family to
tai income Of S68.50 per month.

Buying unnecessary supplies in al.

Ing" the Interstate Grocer urges upon

just what food spectators desire. Nor.

retail grocers at abnormal prices, the

AGRICULTURAL ANT OF TEXAS
Their Homes Are MarveIs of
Skill and Strength.

Texas has many varieties of the ant
family. Out on the 'LlanO Estacado,"
or Staked Plain, they are so numerous
that their hills look like the billOwS
of a rolling sea.
One of the most powerful and for
midable insects in the Southwest is the
agricultural ant Of Texas, observes
naturalist. These busy creatures are
regular farmers, and their homes are
maryels of architectural skill and
strength.
Think of a house frcm II to 15 feet
high, built by little ant, and which
is so strong and we'll supported that
cattle and buffalGeS can walk over 1t
and yet not crush in this wonderful
dome.
1t is said that if horse, in pro-
portion to his size, could leap as far
as a flea, that in one jump he would
go clear around the world. Now, if
a man constructed house according
to the same proportions of an ants
domicie, 1t would be more than a mile
high.
These agricultural ants, next to a
bee are the most Industrious crea-
lures on earth. They sow, reap and
garner Just like farmers, and during
the warm season lay by sufficient store
for winters use.

Poor statues," said Mrs. Crane.
Cant they eat?'
NO" replied Mr.. Crane. "They can't
eat and they can't talk. But folks like
things and so they have great deal of
sense to them after all. I just feel
sorry foH them though"
"Well, 1 did at first" said Mrs.
Crane, but now that I think about it l
really wouldn't feel sorry for them, for
they don't even know they're statues,
so theytare not unhappy. And / never
believe in being unhappy about some
thing no one else is. In fact it's mis-
take to be unhappy at all-it only
makes one-well-unhappy she end
ed in loud voice.
"True," said Mr.. Crane. "But you
see it Is clever of us to look like some
thing we are not. And to be able to
keep so still that no one knows wheth-
er we're real or not. We can keep so
quiet that no one even sees US culver

I was clever to have kept so still"
Its nice to be considered clever"
Mrs. Crane said. "And it's most ex-
tremely useful for us. We can fool
others, but no one can fool us, for we
can move so very quickly" =

eyes get blurred looking at US often
when we stay so still, and they have to
look away at something else before

HOW ONE SHOULD USE MONEY
Worth of Pennies, NickeIs and Dimes
First Value Wise Man Can
Place on Wealth.

ANY man, in order to achieve real
success, must have the right ideas
about money. If he hasn't the right
ideas about money, he is not solid In
character. observes a writer in the
American Magazine. A man may easily
be happy, successful and highly re-
garded on 81 500 dollars or less year;
but. if he is. it is because he knows
how to handle those $500, and real
ICES the power that is in each of those
$500, and keeps in sight the fact that
it takes 100 cents or 20 nickels, or 10
dimes, to make each one of those ST.
800.
ION the other hand. IL man may
have an annual income of $4,000 and
he neither successful nor happy nor
highly regarded. If this is trua of him,
it is because he has not the right ideas
about money.
Here is the thing that applies to my
experience and to every mans: Money
is the symbol of worth and power, if
your money is handled correctly. II
you regard money as a constructive
thing, something to be used beneficial
ly for yourself, your family and your
community, something with which To
build up and produce improvements.
you are on solid ground; nothing can
shake you. nothing, outside of earth
quakeS ant fires, can ruin you tinan-
cially. Let me put it this way: The
use a man makes of mis- money after
he has got his hands on it is the meas

PACKERS GOUCED U, S,
IN SALE Of LEATHER
Inflated Prices For Govern
ment Contracts.

Washington, Jon. S0.-Profiteering
in leather required by the United
States government was charged
against the meat trust at the govern.
ment investigation before the fedora!
trade commission.
Testimony introduced by Frances ].
Heney developed that the "big five
in control of the western leather mar,
ket inflated prices against independ,
ent operators in the market for gov
eminent contracts.
"They were receiving 71a to ten
cents pound for leather of the same
quality offered by the Farmers Co.
operation Association of Wisconsin, y
Charles H. Mays. of Madison, repre-
senting $500 stockholders in that or
ganization, testified.
Packers hides are always included
in the government specification, while
country packers hides, the product OF
the Independent association, have to
be sold wherever a market can be
found" the witness added.
Shuttle ten hides prepared by the
Independents and ten of the packing
combine, and no expert can identify
them" Mays said "They are treated
with the Identical process, and all of
the Independent employees formerly
worked for Swift, Armour or other
big packers"
Mays said the stock of hides on
hand in the United States at present
is the largest in history.

CANADA HAS PARK

Canada is following the example OF
he United States in setting aside tracts
If her Rocky mountain region as per-
nanent Fairgrounds for the people.
The latest of these is Jasper park, far
up in the wild Northwest, where the
play is still too rough to attract any
great hordes of urban dwellers. but
which is one of the most beautiful bits
Of mountain scenery in the world. The
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad mad good deal to do with the
setting aside of Jasper park.
In Jasper park they have fenced in
the highest mountain in Canada, an i'm
mense tract of virgin forest and hill
country, a miscellaneous assortment OF
nameless glaciers of various sizes, half
n dozen big trout streams and num-
herleSs little green valleys that look as

serves it. This region lay for centuries
on the boundary of the preserves Of
two great fur countries-the Hudson's
Bay and the Great Western. Here they
fought battles without number for the
trapping rights-SkirmisheS between
man and man instead of between mil
lions and millions, but all the more
full of daring, Of strategy. and Of ad-
venture for that. And there, too, was
favOrite hunting ground of those free
tances of the wilderness, the, free
traders, who committed the ultimate
sin of bearing allegiance to no COM
pany, and many of whom paid for it
with their lives. These cold, green
glaciers have seen thousand thrilling
dramas played out years before the
explorers came, for the trappers
were too busy to publish accounts of
what they found. They were after fur.
Nevertheless, in Canada as in the
"states," they were the men who really
opened the West.

COURTESY Was Wasted.

There is such a thing as wasted
courtesy and one encounters it almost
every day in the crowded subway or
elevated trains, observes a New York
correspondent. Recently a man was
riding in jammed train and when 1t
stopped at the Forty-second street sta
ton there was an thrush of passen7
gers. Among them was richly
dressed woman, who led a boy OF
about ten by the hand. She stood be-
fore a misunderstanding man who oc-
cupied a seat With a touch of his
hat he arose to give the woman his
seat, when the boy broke loose from
her and jumped into the vacant seat.
The woman made no attempt to take
the seat for herself and remained
standing. What was worse, she made
not the slightest acknowledgment OF
the mans courtesy.

PATRONS ARE TIE PATRIOTS
Customers of Some Hotels Profit Very
Little by New Plan of Conserva-
tion of Food Supply.

The food administration is pleased
to pieces with the New York hotels for
saving more than thousand barrels
Of flour a week and some II tons of
meat a day by these wheatless-meat-
less occasions that are so popular now,
a writer in Golfers observes. Pro-
vision dealers report a falling off in
sales, and all is lovely and statistical.
'Tis a fair picture to gaze upon, but
honor where honor is due! That pa
tient hero, the hotel patron, ought to
come in for few kind words, since
he PAYS the full price and eats the
half portion.
"Save wheat-use corn"-bread is 10
cents, corn bread is Is cents. As a
transient consumer, the other noon. we
paid 80 cents for a slice of beef as
large as postal card, plus one table
spoonful of creamed potatoes, plus a
bit of Yorkshire pudding about the size
of watch. No doubt it was all that
was good for US, but the price was
more. If the widely known principles
of economics are still working, we
helped make meat and bread cheaper
and paid as much as If we were max
ing them dearer.
A patriot is noble thing, but isn't
it better to be one than to trim one?
The hotel keepers of Manhattan are
playing both sides of the game and the
food administration furnishes a jazz
band of statistical admiration for their
efforts. These bonifaces who are
shrinking the meals and swelling the
prices need something all right, but
not governmental encouragement.
Meanwhile the hotel user can feel sure
that the war has not changed his func-
tion at all-he's the paying goat now
lust as he used to be.

"CoaI Savers"

Various preparations are extensively
advertised in this country at present
which are presumed to contribute con-
siderably to the heating power of coal
when applied in the prescribed doses,
writes Consul General Robert P. Skin
ner, London. The director of fuel re-
search, in answer to an inquiry as to
the value of these preparations, states
that these proprietary substances have
been in the market a long time, but
that there does not appear to be any
genuine scientific evidence in support
Of the claims of their manufa cturers.
He concludes: "The nature of the
substances makes it highly improbable
that they have any effect whatsoever
on the combustion of coal or other
fuels when they are used in the guam
titles prescribed"

Washington, Jan. 30.-The senate
interstate commerce committee voted
seven to six to amend the administra-
tion railway bill.
The amendment will provide the
government relinquish control over
railroads within a year after the end
OF the war.
Some committeeman opposed this
change. They said later they would
endeayOr to have the committee re-
scind its action. If they FAIL they

Instruments have been sent out by
the railroad administration to rail-
road officials to prepare to fight floods
later this week, If thawing weather
develops
Streams are out of their banks in
West Virginia and Kentucky. With
temperatures rising, rapid extension
of the melting area is feared. Snow
covers the whole eastern part Of the
country to an average depth Of six
inches. The bottom layer has once
melted and then frozen. forming a
smooth surface, over which wa er Of
the melting upper layers will flow.
Officials said they would consider
lifting the embargo on eastern lines
gradually in a day or two.
