Vessels Were Sold To Italy at tho Outbreak Of War But England Re- fused To Sanction Sale and
 Requisitioned Them.

Paris.-European naval experts are discussing the strategic position of Chile, on the flank of American lines of communication with mid-Paciic possessions and the Panama Canal. following the signing of a Chilean-Jap- anese alliance.
 This discussion became more active gently increased her feet through the purhase of two dreadnoughts, two battle cruisers and three destroyers from England.
 In the course of comment a high French official declared he had infor- nation which led him to believe that the vatican's statement regarding the reported alliance, as reported from Rome last week, was entirely correct
 Information given me by Oliver Guiheneuc, a French naval expert, in- cludes the names of ships Chile has purchased The dreadnoughts are the CAnada and Eagle. the battle cruisers InheNble and Indomitable and the dsstroyers Falkner, Botha and Broke.
 The vessels were laid down for Chile before the war. and during the summer of 1914 were sold to Italy. However, with the outbreak of hostil- ities England refused to sanction the sale and requistioned them.
 The Canada, which was near com pletion. immediately was commis- stoned and placed in the nrst line of defense. The Eagle. on which guns had not been mounted. was converted into an airplane carrier. Since the war it had been reconverted into q dreadnought corresponding with the New York class. Before July all these ships will have been delivered to Chile in fighting trim.
 As in former times. when the cav airy was an important arm, the sale of horses always preceded hostilities, so today the transfer of fighting ships always comes before war" conclud- ed M Guiheneuc This was true of the Japanese war and the world war"

Washington.-Thir thousand SUI pertluous government employees in the District of Columbia are to be elim- mated by Congress this winter, ac- cordins to Representative Wood of Indiana
 MT. Wood returned to Washington today to begin hearings on the legis- lative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill by the House Appropria- tions Subcommittee. of which he is chairman. He said that the payroll slashing he contemplates is only pre- liminary to a wholesale reduction of the force of employees throughout the country upon the reorganization of the government departments and bureaus by the Harding administration.
 Tn. congressman also joined tho ranks of those legislators who adyo- cate the refunding of government war obligations for long period so that taxes may be greatly reduced imme- diately.
 T would issue new bonds. refund ing government obligations over a long period, said Representative Wood. T would have this include not only the Liberty bonds, but the short-term Treasury certificates of in debtedness and the Victory notes The short-term certificates are making lots of trouble in the banks and helped to oau&e depreciation in the value of Liberty bonds. l believe the situa- tion will be helped by refunding all these obligations over a long period. l believe the next generation should help to bear the load of the war ex- penses.
 Business is in such a condition that we must reduce the burden of taxation if possible The excess prof it's tax should be repealed. It has proved an unjust burden upon busi- ness
 There were 37,0o0 government em- ployes in Washington before the war, LIS, ,000 when the arIai5tice was signed. There are now 90000 Mir Wood says that the same amount of work can be done more efficiently by G0000. In the entire country the humber of civil employees rose from 450 600 before the war to nearly S10 00o a it's close De partment heads now are asking for more employcs whose salaries would total S14,000,000

The quota for Arkansas is only S400,- 900 and this will be over-subscribed, bankers said.
 At the registration bureau, l64 bankers were registered The conveu- ton was almost unanimously in favor of the plan to organize a finance ex. port corporation to facilitate a move. ment of the South's products and to stimulate market abroad. and the de tailed explanation of the plan seemed hardly necessary.
 The bankers went farther than that. They endorsed the plan to re. duee the cotton acreage in the state 8 Is per cent during 1921. they on. dorsed the effort of the Arkansas Di. vision of the American Cotton Associa. ton, they commended the program to secure federal bonded warehouses and bonded graders and staplers and rec commended an increase of acreage to food and feed crops. The association also endorsed the plan of the Missis. sippi Doita Cotton Export and Trading Corporation, plan whereby cotton is manufactured for the owners on the toll system" which was explained in an address by Gerald Fitzgerald of Clarksdale Miss.
 in calling the convention to order in the auditorium of the Hotel Marion, Marion Cluade & Fitzpatrick. of Hell ena, president of the association. de clared that the low price of cotton and financial conditions have produced a problem which the bankers are called on to solve. and that in the proposed Federal International Banking Com. pany it was believed might be found the solution of one problem and sta, bilization of conditions.

| CARRIERS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Onc-Fourth of Typhoid Fever Cases
in Rural Places Due to Them.

Typhoid carriers are responsible for
one-fourth of all the cases of typhoid
fever in the rural communities of
Kansas, according to a modest esti-
mate" declares a bulletin just issued
by the state board of health.
Persons become carriers. the bulle-
bacillus" thru drinking milk or eating
food that is contaminated. In about 3
per cent of patients. the bacilli remain
in the system. This condition is not
very rare as 3 per cent of all persons
are said to be carriers.
Unknown to themselves they are
the cause of typhoid fever in the
state" the bulletin says. Carriers do
not constantly cause cases. They may
go for years without injecting any one.
There is one well known instance in
which carrier caused no known cases
in 1909, 1910, 1914-1S inclusive, but
in 1919, twenty-nine cases developed
on his milk route. 1t is not unusual
to find that first known case arising
from a carrier occurs thirty to forty
years after his own illness. He may
even be a carrier without ever having
typhoid fever himself. Or he may
have had it in very mild form which
was not recognized as typhoid and in
correctly diagnosed as malaria or bill
ious fever.
There is no known cure. Once
carrier, always a carrier but chances
for injecting others may be lessened
by using great care in handling food
and by personal cleanliness"

Old ways don't end it

Old ways of brushing do not end film.
Millions of people know that. Teeth dis
color and decay despite the daily care.
The reason lies in film. It c1ings and
hides, and very few escape its damage.
1t is the hlm-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. It holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They.
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. All these troubles have been con-
stantly increasing some have grown
alarming. And all because we knew no
way to daily fight the film.
