made necessary" the secretary said. The war is won. Our present national debt of less than $25, 900, GOO, 900 and our ultimate debt after all war bills are paid which ought not in any event to exceed $50, 1000, 100000 against which we shall hold some $10,000, 900, 900 of obli- cations of foreign governments, is the barest fraction of our national re- sources. The relation of our debt to our population and resources is small indeed compared to that of any of the great countries of Europe.
 "The diScontinuanCe of government interference with the foreign exchanges made possible by the cessation of hos tilities has demonstrated the true posi- tion of the dollar exchange, which not only is at a premium in relation to the currencies of all of the European coun- tries which were engaged in the War,
 but has approached par or actually reached premium with respect to the currency of European neutarls.
 The Greatest Reserve
 Our reserve at the greatest in amount in the world, the greatest in relation to circulation and deposit in any of the countries which were en- gagged in the war; was on March 2S, 1919, 51.9 per cent of the combined federal reserve note and deposit lia- bilities of the federal reserve banks. This compares most favorably with combined reserve of 49.S per cent on November 8, 1918, just before the ar mistice, particularly in view of the fact that since that date the govern ment's expenditures for the most part growing out of the war, have approXi- ! maed $S,000,000,0 900 the greater part of which has necessarily been provided by

WASHINGTON. April 1,-Confidence in the financial conditions of the coun- try and it's ability to float the forth coming Victory Liberty loan was eX- pressed today by Secretary Glass in re- plying to the suggestion of Senator Calder of New York, that a special ses- sion of congress should be called to stop the depreciation in the market price of Liberty bonds.
 Far from agreeing that the decline in outstanding bonds might jeopardize the popular campaign for Notation of the Victory loan issue this month, thereby tying up credits and forcing the banks to take the new bonds, Mr. Glass declared that he was assured the troasurys efforts to solve the financial problems of the country would have the support of 9 united and victorious people" Depreciation in bonds. he said was the result of artificial causes and he knew of no one who did not believe that all Liberty bonds would sell above par before maturity.
 Credit Is Good
 There is today no insufficiency of credit for the needs of any useful en- terprise, nor insufficiency of gold to support our credit structure" Secre- tary Glass declared
 Echoes of the political fight which occupied the closing hours of congress were contained in the secretary's reply which was in the form of a letter to the New York senator He quoted from a speech by Senator Calder on the Vic tory-Liberty bond bill. in which the senator declared that he saw no req son" why we should not feel certain of the future.

MANY ROADS TO LONGEVITY
People Who Have Reached Advanced
Age by No Means Unanimous as

Records show that more women live
to be centenarians than men. When

persons between the ages of ninety
five and ninety-nine were living, and
of this number 1886 were women.
Miss Eliza Work, who reached the
age of one hundred and five, gave as
the reason for her long life that she
never drank tea or coffee; Mrs. Mar
garet Neve. who lived to be one hun
dred and ten, gave as her reason that
she never lacked resources and was
always busy, and Mrs. Sylvia Durham,
aged one hundred and one, lived to en-
Joy the enthusiasm of % presidential
campaigns. Born In July, 1900. at the
age of five she rode in stage coach,
at forty In canal boat. at ninety-nine
in an electric car, and at one hundred
in an automobile.
Abraham lived to be one hundred
and seventy-five years old and Sarah
lived to be one hundred and twenty

An example of the success brought
about by cooperation is shown in
report received by the United States
department of agriculture from ella
county, Arizona, where the local home
demonstration agent and county agri-
cultural agents united their efforts in
developing methods for conserving
1,2OO worth of surplus products
grown on more than 100 acres of irri-
gated land divided into one-eighth
acre gardens. A cooperative market
ing store was established near the gar
dens on the edge of town on the main

kitchen was also operated under the

INSOMNIA NOT HARD TJ Cum
Easy to Tell the Cause of the AffIic-
ton and Remedy Is Matter of
Common Sense.

There are two kinds Of insomnia
and each has It's cure" a doctor said
I'm the first kind you go to bed ap-
parently sleepy, and as soon as your
head touches the pillow, you become
wide awake, and the most vivid and
feverish thoughts whirl through your
mind for hours. At last, sick with ex-
haustion, you fall asleep, but it's too
late. then. Too much time has been
lost. You rise in the morning unre-
freshed.
In the second kind Of insomnia you
go to sleep all right as soon as you go
to bed, but In an hour or so you wake
up. You lie tossing long while. You
rise unrefreshed here, too.
''The first kind of insomnia is due to
rich, undigested food clogging the
stomach. The remedy is simpler meals
In the evening-no pork or game or
cheese or pastry, but, instead, fish or
chicken, whole-meal bread, custards
or milk toast.
1.-THE second kind Is due to lack of
exercise. A daily half-hour's gymnas-
tics, followed by cold bath and rub
down. will drive it permanently away"

HURLS SEEDS LONG DISTANCE
Witch Hazel Has Record Of Forty Feet
or More, as Shown by an
Experiment.

The curious manner In which the
witch-hazel spreads it's seeds has been
described by DR.. Edward S. Bigelow
in his department, ION Natures Trail"
In Boys Life. He says:
mo other plant can shoot its seeds
so far and so violently as this one
hurls its seeds. l do not know just
how far 1t can shoot, but in expert
ments actually made a distance of 80
feet has been reached The expert
ment was made In this manner: The
fruiting branches were suspended at
the end of room 80 feet long. At
the extreme farther end of the room
many seeds were found Some had
been shot through an open door, but
just how far l do not know. Various
other experiments suggest that the
seeds may be thrown to a distance Of
40 feet or more. The books say that
the seed capsule bursts and discharges
its contents with great vigor. 1t GER
tainly does. Experiments with the
bursting pods and the flying seeds may
be dangerous. 1 never happened to
be hit by the flying missiles, but I
should not like to have one strike my
eye, especially If the eye were near
the capsule. The discharge is accom-
a small pistol. If scouts repeat this
experiment, let them not forget this
warning"

TRIBUTE TO FRENCH WOMAN
American Traveller Tells of Her Good
Qualities and the Great Debt the
Nation Owes Her.

The French woman is brought up to
neglect none of the arts that attract
men. sEven In munition plants the
woman worker knows where the mir
ror hangs, often has her powder pun
at hand, and gives uncOnsciously the
deft touch to the hair, writes Lyman
Powell in the Designer. If it has
sometimes seemed to us that the
French wife overlooks too easily the
Inconsistencies of a husband, it is be-
cause we have failed to understand
that French women are expected to
keep themselves so attractive to the
mate after marriage as well as before
that he will not want to wander over
fields.
If it be asked what woman is suf-
ficient all through life for the double
duty of being a good wife and a good
mother, name you France. and add
that French women are in this regard
the marvel of their sex and the strong
est bulwarks of monogamy.
And all talk about the lower birth
rate in France is beside the mark. The
child is held so precious in the French
mind that he usually remains dream
child till the right conditions are in
sight for his upbringing. If allowance
be made for that fringe of the unpro-
ductive found In every land, it Is
doubtful whether the birth rate among
the high-minded and responsible is
lower over there than over here.
The French woman cannot be sum
med up in q phrase. Contrary to the
general opinion, she is simple, practi-
cal, sensible, tenacious, deliberate,
cautious, farsighted and affectionate.
She is sensitive but not sentimental.
She Is laxative but not superficial.
She is ebullient but enduring. She is
a compound of heart and head, which
explains Joffre, Petain, Foch and the
Poilu, who have fought these four
years past our battle as well as their
own. and have been the surprise of
every friend as we'll as the exaspera-
ton of the foe.
II Waterloo was won on the playing
fields of Elton, Rugby, Harrow, GER

were won in the French house where

GOOD INVESTMENT IN SMILE
inexpensive. and Nothing One Can
Own VIII Bring Greater Return
Should Be q Promise.

A pleasant smile Is the most mex
pensive investment on earth and 1t is
the greatest one to bring a return.
How l wish everyone could realize
just what 1t means to smile. / think
we all would smile oftener If we did.
SO many people have told me how hard
1t Is for them to smile. Here is my re-
cipe-here 1t is. very simple: When
you are about to smile, think first that
in your smile you are to promise
something. That Is really what a
smile is for. 1t Is promise, and you
may make 1t any kind of a promise
you like. Some people hardly move
their lips at all In smile. while 9th
ers smile entirely with their lips and
leave their eyes expressionless.
The best smile of all is the one
that promises most. At your mirror
you may practice smiling with great
success. Just conjure up the person
you want to smile at and fit the smile
to the vision. II will surprise you
to know how many different kinds Of
promises one happy smile may sug-
gest. 1t is SO like happy party to
have a person around who smiles on
general principles and promises nothing
at all but gladness for the very JOY
Of living. Cheerfulness such as this
is Iife's finest tonic.-Exchange.

HELPING one Another.

We do far more than we think to
steady one another's principles, to
hold one another up. A thought OF
the boy who must not be allowed to
inherit dishonored name has held
many q man In the hour of tempta-
ton. The remembrance of wife and
child has barred the way to many a
wrong transaction.
The quiet courage of every day,
that does its best hour by hour and
accepts as part of the days work the
losses and penalties that steadfastly
doing right must often bring Is
the highest courage of all.
Many people add unnecessarily to
their own anxiety by assuming cares
that do not belong to them-which
form no real part of their duty or
their work Some of these burdens
are pure creations of ones own ex-
cited or morbid Imagination. while
others appertain to the life or duty of
Others snd not to u.s. Exchange.

NO REASON FOR MONOPOLY
II Whales Are to Be Used for Dairy
Purposes, Let Whole Country

An official of the state agricultural
department Of Oregon recommends the
cultivation of the whale for milking
purposes, says an article In Thrift
Magazine. Enough whales could be
raised right In Puget sound, he says.
to supply the United States with all
the milk she needs. The female whale
is q generous creature and gives a bar
rel Of the tactical fluid at one milking.
This is timely suggestion, but why
keep all the whales In Puget soundf
Would not such plan be selfish, sor-
did and monopolistici If we are going
to be truly democratic in this country,
let's be so in the matter Of whales.
Let every farmer keep his own whale.
What would be more inspiring than to
see the happy husbandman arise while
the King of Day was still lurking BASH
fully behind the eastern horizon, grab
the family milch barrel and hurry out
behind the barn to give old Flossie, the
family whale, her morning milkin'? In
the spring when the little whalelets be
gin to show up. think of the gross an
nual output of poetry that would be
inspired In the breasts Of our literati.

justice to let Puget sound have mo-
