A NEW USE FOR ADVERTISING. Aflrrrtisina; li,t.? figured in no unimportant -way in whatrer ucce!t England has had in t.ho ir-ent war. Early in tl conflict Kitchener had the pood eense to mobilize the host ad writers in the kingdom. A oiever system of. recruiting by poster, by circulars, by magazine and newspaper advertising netted the army hundreds of thousands of men. Advertising is a vehicle as essential in modern war preparation a is the munition piant. lis use resulted in England's getting an army into fhape. It3 fruitulne.sa is now being diverted to help raise -war loans at home. "Today 13 the Day of Meditation," says the headline on the front-page advertisement in a London ne-wppaper. It occupies the -whole paga. "Men &cd women, sit and think. How much cash can you put into the victory var loan and how Hiiich you can save during the next twelve months?"' Then the appeal goes cn to say that every one who subscribes help? to -win the war silver bullets being as essential as high-explosive shells and subscriptions will "prove to the Prussian military caste that we at home are behind cur soldiers and sailors in this war." The appeal states "Your money i3 eafe., your interest is sure and whenever yon need y . - money you can sell the stock, therefore lend all you can scrape, together. YVEAR OLn CLOTHES, OLD BOOTS. OLD DRESSES and invest vhat you will save in the war loan." The suggestion is made that one's banker may lend the money to be loaned to the government. Some employers are making it possible for their workers to loan as much a 200 pounds bv means of an insurance scheme, small pavments to be de- ' r (!-ir-fi-d over a period of years and tho stock to go in its entirety without further payment to the worker's heirs in the event of his death. Th advertising throws light on the determination of the British people and that the war has reached the stage of grim actuality where those at home must make great sacrifices.
CODFISH OLLIE HEARD FROM. Probably because Senator Ollie .lames had an inordinate hankering for codfish baiis, practically the entire fish schedule was placed on the free list by the Democrats. Here was an import business in fish which in 1912 totaled $U,7.ciO,000, but to the gustatory-governed mind of Mr. James, who was a member of the Ways and Means Committee when the bill was framed, all fih was compressed into the well-browned bolus of the Boston mascot, molded into form with the aid of the Irish spud, and his Gargantuan appetite was making heavy drafts upon his pocketbook. Ergo, if fish were free, might !:: the ballistics of the codfish ball be simplified? John I. Field, deep-sea angler of Gloucester, Masa., had been trying r inly to pry into the minds of the Democratic members the importance to American fishermen of a duty of 1U centa a pound on fish, to protect them from the government-aided fishing industry of Canada, and the infinitesimal ".M-t of such a duty on the price of fish to The American consumer. Said he, ; L the hearings : "One fjtiarter of a pound of fih will m.iko six. largo fish balls: and if he eats cri'--nu-?rtcr of a. pound t fi.-h. the duly on a pound of fifth would he 1 cents, and ono-qutirter of tint wou'd be one-quarter of 1 cent plus." (Or 5-16 of a cent.) Throue-h the pensive mind of the "00-pound statesman from Kentucky, durirg this colloquy, had been floating fie vision of heaped-up platters of codrlFli balls. He could fairly hear more popping in the pan. He awoke with a pt art. and this is the record of his reply to Mr. Field, preserved in the hearings of that day: ' Mr. James (interrupting) J That, would be 20 cents a week, and It wcc'ks in tbe year. It wouM be Sli4n." To achieve tii3 saving on his diet of 23 cents a week, or $10.40 a year, what could have been included in the mental calculation of Mr. James? The consumption of no less than SS4 codfish balls a week, or nearly 20,000 a yarl Think of it! Ftfty-fiv fish-balls six tlays a week with a fast, day of fifty-four
The "Woodrow Wilson Soldiers' Home" in Switzerland. The "Woodrow Wilsoi Soldiers' Home" has been presented by tha American colony in Switzerland to Swiss soldiers doinjr; patrol duty along the frontier. The American flag flies from one end of the roof and the Swiss flag from the other. Another gift presented by the American colony is a house the duplicate of the one shown above and is known as the "Abraham Lincoln Soldiers' Home." It serves the same purpose as the on named after President Wilson.
Dn the seventh! Is it any wonder that fish and potatoes were banished to the free list? But did a reduction in price enable the Senator to satisfy his insatiable craving? The evidence is all against it, if fish is a brain food. The result of this free-listing of fish was a depression in the American industry. Fish came in from Canada in slathers after the law was passed
SURE IS AN ABSURDITY.
The absurdity of providing revenue legislation for exigencies four years hence, when future developments might prove the unwisdom of any course that might be adopted at present, has been forcefully brought to the attention of the Senate by Hon. James E. Watson of Indiana, during the consideration of the recent fiscal legislation. "It seems to me," said the. Senator, "that, all that can be demanded of ue at Chis time is to meet the emergency that confronts us by a limitation, of two years, which 1 amply sufficient for present purposes." Mr. Watson, presumed that future Congresses would be able to discharge their patriotic functions and make adequate provision- for revenue and appropriations for defense, and that it was not the duty of the Sixty-fourth Congress to assume the obligations of its successor.
A WAR OF FATS.
Hogs were sold last week in Chicago for 15 con's a pound. In Xew York lard sold close to 20 cents wholesale. The average price i:i the same market from 18f4 to 190" was less than 8 cents; from 1S04 to lPlo less than 10 cents. Pork in Xew York sold from $nr.r0 to $3S a barrel, against an average of $12,130 and $18.50 in the two ten-year periods preceding the war. Corn, on which pigs are fed, sells high because of the demand acting upon the basis of a short crop. Pork and pork products rise to these amazing prices herause ihe war which is in progress is a war of fats. Fats, oils, grease, in their many forms, enter into the manufacture of munitions, drive or lubricate vehiclos and nourish the civil and fighting population. For the latter purpose mineral oils are not available. The great war weakness of Germany today is not lack of men but lack of fats; 2?, 000,000 of her eople have not fa ? enough 1o ward off tuberculosis for a prolonged period. It ;s this lack, more, than that of bread or potatoes, that causes the amazing statement by Deputy llofer in the Reichstag that some parents are killing their children because they cannot feed them. In Great Britain fat s are about to be rationed by public author!"". Even in our own country their high price is a ma'ter of the most serious concern For years the world will be an eager buyer of all the hoes American farmers can raise. Xew York World.

INFANTS' LONG COAT. By Anabel Worthington.
His Majesty the baby probably r,eeds a sprinj coat as much as other members of the family, and be will be -well protected and comfortably dressed in the practical coat given in No. 8219. The short shoulder cape has a pleasing ripple and the little round collar fits up snugly around the throat. One of the smalier views shows the coat without the capeThe full sleeves are gathered into tiny cuffs and will not crush the dres underneath. A baby's coat always looks well trimmed with silk soutache or rickrack braid, or a narrow Hercules brsid. though it elso looks well without any trimming. A choice of suitable materials is offered ia the following: Albatross, cashmere, French serge or flannel, chiffon broaddoth or Bedford cord. The infant' long coat pattern No. 8219 is cut only one size. The coat on the reguire requires 2 yards 27-fnch, 2 yards S6-ineh, 1 yards 44 inch, with 12 yards braid. The small front view requires 2Va yards 27-iuch, 1 yards 30inch. 1 yards 44-lnch.
To obtain this pattern send 11 cents to the office of this publication.
Little Glimpses Into Your Telephone No. 6
The Telephone Cord
HERE the green covering of the "cord" that connects your Bell Telephone to the bell-box has been pulled back, showing three separate "conductors," each with its wToven covering of silk, linen and cotton, and the tiny wires inside, vhich are plaited tofrether, the whole forming: a pliant, flexible strand of the cord. The little copper wires are finer much finer than hair and there are many of them. If this cord, with its hundreds of hair-like wires, is allowed to become twisted and snarled into a mass of knots, the wires rub against one another until the friction impairs the service, the transmission becoming- "raspy" and confused. By keeping the cord free from "kinks," you help to safeguard your telephone service. Chicago Telephone Company O. A. KrinbiU, District Manager Telephone 9903
