WOULD CONSOLIDATE AVIATION SERVICE. Senator James E- Watson of Indiana Is of the opinion that the efficiency of the aviation services of both the Army and Navy would be greatly increased if they were combined in one aviation bureau under the direction of experts. The war has RUtht the English that aeronautics should be managed by a separate establishment in order to secure the best results from the huge fleet f 10,000 machines or more which they possess. If this country Ja going; to vigorously prosecute the war with Germanv we will need tteinendoua additions to our air fleet, which will require the undivided attention of the men having it. in charge. "This service is of such vast importance that it ought to have special attention," declares Senator Watson.

AT that, why object because somft of the fair things are wearing patriotic hosiery? booking up at flag poles and down at ankle? is good exercise for the eyes. '

BEWARE AUTOCRACY. The legislation which a real state of war entails is both primary and secondary. The first deals with credits, with recruiting, with preparedness, with plans of action- The second deals with the conduct of the nation'? industries which are only indirectly related to the supply of war material and to the personal conduct, of citizens and residents who are not engaged with the forces or in provisioning them. Under this head come the bills for a censorship and against espionage. These measures should be carefully thought out before they are enacted. They should not be so framed that they will pet up a new species of unreasoning bureaucracy, and especially they should be co framed that they will not stifle fair publicity for all facts which do not have a military value to the enemy. Happily, the country enters this war in a mood of great sanity. Congress has shown no burning ardor, only a grim sense of imperative duty. It is no easier for Congress to vote for. war than it has been for the president to bring himself to recommend it. In this same spirit Congress should scrutinize all the measures which a state of war will provoke. We are fighting to perpetuate and to strengthen democracy, the president says. Therefore, we should take no steps which tend to weaken democracy at home while we are at war to put an end to autocracy elsewhere-

OF course, we did! We planted sun flower and holly-hork feds in the garden. What, would a back yard be without sun flowers and holly hocks? It's hard enough to make the yard look old-fashioned with so many family garages lining the alley.

THAT phone you heard ringing was a long-distance call from Washington announcing Department of Agriculture experts had found pie to have large food value. Considering the price of pie nowadays, it ought to have something besides the imitation filling. THE difference between being a baker and a manufacturing magnate is that the latter can raise the price or his products ten dollars in a month and get by with it and the baker can raise his prices a penny or two and get threatened with jail-

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS. A "Liberty Loan" bond is a solemn promise of the United States govern-, ment to pay, at maturity, the amount of the bond to the holder and to pay j Interest twice each year from the date of the issuance of the bond uutil ft is fully met and finally paid. 1 One especial advantage no other bonds, national, state, municipal or!

corporate nave is tea. ii me Lnuea states, during xne present war, snouia lsjue other bonds at, a higher rate of interest, the holders of these "liberty" bonds have the right to exchange them for bonds bearing the higher rate of interest, the exchange being made dollar for dollar. Blank forms of application for the purchase of these bonds can be obtained from the Treasury Department, any Federal Reserve bank, any National, state or private bank in Lake county, any express office and any postoffice in the United States. Any bank or postmaster will aid the applicant in filing out this blank and in other acts necessary to obtain these bondsThe liberty bonds are not taxable. Considering the tax rate here, the bonds would net the holder about 7 per cent. In addition, no Federal tax which war conditions may later make necessary will effect these bonds. The only tax to which these bonds are subject is the inheritance tax, which applies to all classes of property.

FOOD CONSERVATION. At a meeting recently It was stated that in hauling foods we are 100 years behind the times. We believe that this is quite true and that in this national crisis we do not adequately realize what an important factor tie proper handling of foods would be In lowering the high cost of living. The hauling of food products from the farm to the railroad and the hauling of the food from the city terminal to the city buyer constitute two of the biggest problems that we now face in handling the food problem and nothing seems to be done about it. The best solution of the remedy that we have seen was the report, to New York papers of an address made by Henry L. Doherty, the banker and public utility expert, to technical students at Toledo. O. Hhe said: Haul freight at night silently on street car tracks and so eliminate the congestion on city streets. Then carry the corporation out to the farmer. so it buys from him on the spot. Eliminate the toll of delay and waste. Give us great country highway lighting associations so that the -country road shall be lighted at night like the city streets. The wirrhg should be tapped into every farm for heat and light. It is possible to put In four and five and even forty hoYse-powcr for the farmer cheaper than he tan buy the work horses alone necessary to do similar work, and the maintenance of that power for a year in practice will not equal what he now pays for the feed and keep of th horses for a month. All of this may sound Utopian. Rut. the wireless invention sounded Utopian, too. Great minds are needed to solve this hard problem The nation is not awake to what can be done in lowering the cost of living by It solution.

WHEN YOU FEEL TIRED, NO mm HEADACHE (By W. M. GRANTIER, If. D.) If your wife tells you that you are "grouchy" and out-of-sort, be thankful for the suggestion, and set to work to get your liver busy for It ia more than likely that its inactivity ia at the bottom of your trouble. Isn't blame your ller for not doing it- work! You have undoubtedly been firing It too much to do. Tou may have occasional headaches, feel tired, no appetite, and coated tongue, and thla condition may iead up to other things. At such times you are the easiest prey for colda, grip, or the disease germs of malaria, typhoid, the deadly phthisis, or the many ills which carry off so many of our citizens. My advice is. give p alcohol, tea and coffee. If you must drink something with your mesie let It be a cup of hot water. Begin in the morning with a. pln-t of hot water with a half lemon squeezed in it. if poeaible, and drink it

a half hour or less before breakfast. Take a few- minutes of bending exercise and breathing in the morning. Walk in the outdoor air. Occasionally, say, once a week, take a good laxative, one that is entirely vegetable. .A good one is that made up of the extract of May-apple. vegetable calomel, and alap, and can be had at every drug store, for it has been sold for nearly 59. years as Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets. If you are occasionally troubled with rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain la the back, toes or muscles of the body, this is due to uric acid stored In the system.

SCRAMBLING FOR PRE-EMINENCE. If all thp officers are selected before-hand, says the Ohio State .Journal, conscription Is likely to prove a squeezed orange. This ought not to be. It should not be understood that conscription is without merit and that a conscript has no chance to obtain the alleged honorable positions. A draft should not be a barren field reserved for the insignificant and unworthy.

Conscription is thoroughly honorable and a man who waits for the govern-1

ment to pick him out and then cheerfully answers to the. rail Is entitled to as much respect and honor aa a man who rushes to a reserve camp to become an officer. There is a vast amount of humility in true patriotism, and the man who is ready to serve his country as a private is entitled to more honor than he who aspires' to be a general. There is too much scrambling to trample down the beaut itudes of life.

German people, appears to have

drawn upon to the. fullest extent inj the preparation and execution of this, destruction. I Following are the extracts from the.-'ej orders: "The last grand destructions in Grevil'ers, Heifvillers. Aubin and Av-s-! nes will -begin at X plus 2 o'clock. To j cover the incendiating crews the coiu-j manders of each sector will f urni.li ! two under officers and twenty men ofj the Battalions R and two stretcher-j bearers with stretchers, i. e., sector t for Beifvillers and Grevillet s ami 0 -! tor V for Avesnes. These latter vil-i lages will not be burned. J

' "The destruction of Kavreuil, Beusrnatio and Fremicourt will besin the second day of the march at X plus .1 o'clock, but however not before 3. The

destruction of localities and wells that: may be useful to the rearguard de-J tAchment of fc-'eheimitx must not take'

place till the third day of th march towards two o'clock after nn understanding with this detachment unless the adversary's operations render necessary an earlier destruction. Tli fires may be started equally the third dny of the march towards ; o'clock. The medical service for the destruction crews at I'eugnatre. Fremicourt and Favreuil will be assured by Schein i tz'-s detachment." Somewhat similar orders, perfected in every detail, are then given for the destruction of Ijouveral. Oemioourt and Rou rs ics. Special instructions for the destruction of wells read as tollo-: "The rlrstructi'n of AA, wells ix important. The wells of the viilapeji eaRt of the position R ?, must not be destroyed until they have become useless to the troops making- the movement.

Telephone Unpreparedness

I7AIT a njinute, Central, I'll get the

To avoid such delays, the telephone user should always be sure of the number wanted before taking the receiver from the hook. By this sort of telephone preparedness the telephone user gets quicker connections, the switchboard operator's work is lightened, and good telephone service is greatly facilitated. '
