vided YOU have never tried to win her
confidence by allowing her to bring
her friends into the house. provided
you have never tried to enter happily
into her life. OF course, there are
girls who fail their parents, in spite
of everything sometimes. But you
will find these instances few and far
between. In nine cases out Of ten
where you look into the circumstances
of girls who have stumbled over the
rocks in some way or other you will
discover home conditions were too
strict or that they swung to the other
extreme and there was no guidance at
all. ..,.s,
DARENTS who discover the happy
l. medium in directing their girls give
the world the fine sensible women on
which the world so much depends.
Here Is the plan that works best: Tell
your daughter she is welcome to bring
boys and girls into her home and then
proceed to make the parlor attractive
so she Will not hesitate because she is
ashamed of her home. Go down land
get acquainted with the young people
yourself. Be friendly and let them
feel they are wanted. Invite the boys
in to Sunday night supper and then
YOU can see for yourself IL these
young men are the sort you want to
be friends with your girl.
Remember this, the girl who has
never come in contact with boys Is
very apt to fall in love with the first
one who jollies her. The girl who Is
used to seeing boys go freely in and
out of her home will think long and
carefully before she decides on one
of them.

NOT As BIG AS
BR|T|AN'S BILL
Cost of War to America Not
Nearly Equal to What Eng
lish Ally Must Pay.

Twenty-one months of our war with
Germany cost the United States $685.
356,OO0,OOO, the treasury department
calculates. Huge munitions and other
contracts have been cancelled. Man
ufacturers are now presenting their
bills and receiving payments for ma
terials' delivered months ago in the
heat of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total Of
SIG, 56,OOo,OOO is the sum Of $685.
100000 loaned to the Allies. When we
began lending to the Allies, the gov
ernment contemplated turning over
to them about $5OO,OoO,OOO a month
but actual loans ordinarily ran around
$3.50, 100000 monthly.
OF the total war bill about s1S,O0o,-
100000 has. been raised so far by the
Liberty Loans. The fact that we have
not covered our war debt is the rea-
son for the Victory Liberty Loan. In
other words we haven't paid for the
Job.
The cost of the war to Great Brit
ain was s40.64O,OOO, 900. Germany is
out S3S, S,75O 100000 exclusive of indem-
mites the Allies may impose.

Lillard Evans is colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown off in
action. He lives for the present at
Letterman General Hospital at the
Presidio in San Francisco. He can
and does dance fox trots and one
steps. How? Why?
OF course to dance fox trot or
a one-step a fellow has to have legs
good legs. Well, Evans has them
not his own legs Of flesh aud bone,
but his own willow legs with joints
and everything. He is going to leave
Letterman pretty soon and go back to
work and make his living and prob
ably get married and raise children.
That's the how.
Tie why of it,tis-tsN government
of the United states gssss gone in for
leg and arm making. It is giving a
specially built leg or arm or hand or
a pair Of legs or arms or hands to ev-
cry soldier who lost his legs or arms
in the war. At Letterman in particu-
lar they are making Liberty legs anu
arms and hands in their own work
shop. They are making them because
they have hit upon better artificial
limb than some manufacturers were
turning out.
This is one phase Of the reconstruc-

Did you ever CLEAN the impression
that someone just look ed through

that was being done?4 You are mis-
taken.
The only person in Minnesota,
north of the Twin Cities, who can

mas Just aided to his office equip

full N-ray machine that enables any
one to see the workings of human
beings bodily functions
This addition to the office equip
ment is a long operating table,
equipped with a white screen, having
a mahogany frame. The patient can
either stand or be reclined on the
table with the screen still close to
him in covering the affected spot.
The X-ray is then turned on and if
the patient is standing the action of
all functions are plain to view in the
larkened room and the examining
practitioner is able to view distinctly
whether the heart is working prop
erly, whether the lungs are true to
form, if anything is the matter with
intestines or abdomen, and just where
the trouble lies
A person with broken leg would
lie down and the white screen will
plainly show the fracture of the bone
and the setting would be done in an
Intelligent manner, best for the vic
tim of the mishap.
In fact the Horoscope lays open to
full view the interior anatomy of an
affected person, no matter what the
reason, and the trouble is easily To-

1t is the latest feature of the med
