The three jrreat needs constant
ly out forth from Washington are:
I lj conservation. to aid
our Allies: c:) men; (3) money.
The first, the Food Administra
tion Bureau is attempting to secure
largejy bv voluntary efforts. The
second has been placed by law on
compulsory basis in the draft. The
third will b$ compulsory by laws
increasing present taxation to the
extent of about one-quarter of the
anuuai expenditures in the ■war; but
three-Quarters must be provided »iot

taaa was carried, through, the quiet
acquiescence of America in it, when
advised by America's self-chosem
leaders, was a. magnificent proof of
the essential patriotism of our
people and of our confidence that we
are a truly dnieocratic nation. We
trusted our advisers because we
had ourselves elected them. Xow
*e must trust them with our mon
ey and we must he ready for sac
rifices. THIS WAR CAX NOT feV
£.V BE BEGUN TO BE WOX UN
TIL THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA
FULLY REALIZE THAT SACRIFIC
ES OF ALL SORTS. BUT ESPEC
IALLY OP MEN AND MONEY, ARE
inevitable.
Popular opinion seems to think
wc have already given much. Let
us be honest. WHAT have we giv
ei;? True, we are PREPARING to
g've men amd machines. and are
spending money in that preparation,
bit' our spending is as Jet but a
drop in the bucket COMPARED TO'
WHAT OUR ALLIES HAVE BEEN
SPENDING FOR THREE YEARS
T.V DEFENSE OF US. For that
is -what they have been doing—de
fending the world, and so defend
ing ns. We have been LENDING
them motipv, at a good rate of in
terest. They do cot ask Us to
GIVE, evea now. All that they
expect is that we also shall bear
our burdens, as thesy ore bearing
'heirs, in this war for the future
of humanity and for safety.
Look at a few facts of Great
Britain's effort—not at grand to
tals, but at facts applied to the
INDIVIDUAL. In the last Brit
ish War Loan there wag a total .
of $4.350.000.000 in fash suV j
scriptions .which means about $100 ;
per pt-rsou- men, women, and
children. (The best that Germany ]
was able to do in her last loan) j
was $30 per person.) To equal
Britain's effort America, AFTER
SHE HAD BEEN* THREE YEARS
AT WAR, would have to sub
scribe $10,000,000,000 in a
sisgle loan. Through taxation,
interest on loans ,and higher cost
of living, it is estimated. that j
every Englishman with> an an
nual income of $2500 gives! $75<)
to support the war. Onq reason
£or this high cost its that Britain
BEGAN* tho war without properly
appreciating its financial burdens.
It was tho "Business as Usual"
cry that prevented the pouring" ®ut
of money AT FIRST which, if then,
given, might have meant a saying
to England later, and especially a
saving of English lives.
This war can. not b© woo with
out sacrifice. Let no one think
it. I£ Germany wins, or even makes
draw of it, o«r future sacrifices
will be many times greater. Let
no one deceive himself a« to that.
Right iiow we are pouring out
boys—getting them ready; YW«
must pour out dollars to equip
them, bu^ most of all, to furnish
them with the instruments of w-ar
thit their LIVES may not t*e lest
by being put up as man power
against machinery. Many of our
bevs will die; but some we ma>'
save if we are ready to spend the
last dollar of our resources in
sivinj them the tools with which, to
malt,, a fair fight.
Right now it is "dollars and
boys." This is no abstract generalis
ation. It is a quesiton for YOU
tc answer personally, with; seri"
ous thought of what money YOU
have available. Every dollar held
b«ck for mere luxury, for non
essentials during this war, means
a greater chance of the loss of a
boy—it may be of your( boy.
IF YOU HAVE XO BOY IN'
SERVICE, AND HOLD BACK YOUR
DOLLARS, CAN* YOU LOOK YOUR
NEIGHBOR IX THE FACE WHEN'
HE LOSES HIS BOYS? IF YOU
DO HOLD RACK. WHERE DO YOU
THINK YOU ARE GOING TO
STAND IN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S ES
TIMATION WHEN THIS WAR
ENDS?
HIS CAMOUFLAGE IN DaNGER
Convivial Gentleman Evidently Had
Relied Too Much on It* B?lng
Closed Season for Oyster*.
W. R. Trltes. the novelist. Is Id Paris
with the American troops, and at a
dinner at raillard's he told a camou
flage story.
"A young American officer," he said,
"came to I'aris from a flying camp on
a furlough and celebrated his first eve
ning in the metropolis a little too
guylv. Ills mother had an apartment
in the Avenue de Messlne. and he
drove home at the evenlug's end with
the firm determination that the good
lady should never know how pickled
he was.
"He got In noiselessly and began to
search the apartment for a place to
hide. He thought of hiding under a
bed. th»n of getting Into a wardrobe,
but finally he found two portable tin
baths, and these gave him an excellent
Idea.
"He undressed silently, curled him
self up in one of the buths and drew
the other over him. Then he chuckled
I to think how well he had managed,
and went off to sleep.
"His mother. In the small hours, find
ing his bed empty, made a search for
him. At last she came to the two su
perposed baths, peeped through a
crack, and said:
"'Are you there, dear?
"The crack widened a little, a wild
eye looked out, and a voice whispered:
" 'Sh—sh : Go—hie—nway, or you'll
spoil my camouflage. I'm a—hie—
oyshter!""
NATURALLY HE WAS PEEVED
Dog's Failure to Observe Meatles* Day
Cost Indiana Gentleman Just
One Pine Ham.
Louis E. Laltner, constable In the
coroner's office, is peeved and he has
a rlsht to be.
Wingie. as he Is known about the
courthouse, likes to hunt. He also
likes rabbits as a food. As rabbits
were selling for .'5." cents apiece he
decided to go get some with the aid
of a dog and gun and thereby have the
fun of hunting as well as the pleasure
of eating and at the same time reduce
the cost of living.
So he borrowed n dog from one of
his friends and hiked for the country.
The result of his marksmanship for the
day was two rabbits, but Wingie was
happy when he returned home with
TO cents' worth of game, so he put the
dog in the basement for safe keeping,
and wont to bed perfectly contented.
In the mctnltic. when he went to get
the dog his Joy turned to gloom., The
dog was there all right, but a per
fectly good haui. which was stored In
the basement, was gone. That Is, most
of It was gone, and what was left was
unfit for use as food, because what
the dog had not eaten he had chewed
or dragged over the floor. ^
"That ham stood me three dollars,"
Said Laitner, when telling about the
incident, "and I had half a notion to
shoot the dog. not so much because-1
mourned the loss of the ham. but the
scoundrel is a traitor, as it all hap
pened on 'meatless' Tuesday."—Indi

COLLECT LITERATURE ON WAR
Cambridge University Authorities Mak
ing Plans to Add to Materials
for Historical Study.
"The literatftra of the war will form
a considerable element Id every li
brary where students work," writes
the vice chancellor of Cambridge uni
versity, according to n correspondent
of the Chicago Dally News.
"At the university library a great
effort has been made during the last
three years to form such a collection;
and something already hps been
achieved by the celebration of help
ers In various parts of the world, es
pecially the United States, Spain and
some countries In South America,
where German propaganda literature
has been circulated In great abun
dance.
"It may be thought that enough war
collections will be made by the vari
ous government offices, the British
museum and the National museum.
These collections will of course be
more extensive than anything which
Cambridge can hope to get together.
But where there Is a school of history
there should the materials for histori
cal study be found, and a very moder
ate war collection will be much better
than none. It may even be that It
will contain some things not easily to
be met with elsewhere. Therefore, all
Cambridge men In particular are asked
to use their opportunities nnd con
tribute what they can. Every scrap
of printed paper eventually will fall
Into Its place and have Its chance of
being , useful to some explorer."

in o" the organs of thg body, and

It is quite necessary to give prompt
help to any part tha* first shows
sl^rs of wear. Healthy kidneys
aie necessary to a hale old age.
Weak kidneys often bring constant
backache, lame back, stiches and
twinges of pain, annoying1 urinary
troubles, and the danger of drop

Kidney P.ills are g^tefully recom
mended by very many aged people.
Convincing proof of merit in the
following testimony: ! i
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W.
Fifty-ninth St.. Seattle, wash,
says; "A cold weakened my kid
ney and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt as thoughi the
muscles were all drawn up and
stiff. My kidneys didu't act right
at all and the secretions were high
ly colored, i had to get up orten
at night. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
m: a complete and lastng cure. I
fim now free from kidney trouble
in spite of my age, which) is six
i- years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
