Answers to Correspondents. Margaret Tuttle writes from Galves
ton, Texas: "What do you use when you wash your hair?"
Physicians' and surgeons' soap with
half a lemon in the rinsing water.
Caroline Bishop, Berkeley, Cal., writes: "I am six years old. I have an airedale dog and a white rabbit. I luv them very much. I luv you more. Would you like to have me send you my white rabbit? His name is Mary Pickford."
Dear Little Caroline: I would like
very much to have that white rabbit, but I am afraid if I took him away
rom you he would be very unhappy.
so keep him for me. if he is named
after me I want him to have the very
beat of care.
Some one said to me the other day: "I suppose you had all the advantages of the finest dramatic training before you wen on the stage, Miss Pickford?" "Yes, Indeed," I replied, a smile curling the corners of my mouth In spite of myself, for I wanted my answer to carry a tone of reflective seriousness. "I understudied some of the greatest actresses in the world t from three to five and at five years of age I went on the stage." The woman gasped, "My goodness gracious! Were you taken abroad for such an education?" I shook my head and laughed. "Never beyond the parlors of my old home in Canada. There were my stage and my early training. My audiences were the pictures on the walls, while the tables and chairs were the actors and actresses. In the glass cabinet I always pretended the visiting and superintending actress sat,
Watching, applauding or reprimanding me severely when I wasn't dramatic enoifgh. . "Each day I invited to sit in the cabinet one of the many famous stagefolk I had heard my mother talk about. Sometimes it was Sarah Bernhardt, sometimes Patti, but I generally played no favorites and set forth a worldwide Invitation. A Wise Mother. "Mother never made fun of my imaginary players, and I am so grateful to her because of her patience and her sympathetic understanding. Sometimes she would stand in the doorway and applaud me 'as I slew the villian by kicking at him furiously, saying to him in my 'stagey' voice, 'Die oo villian!' "The villian was always the huge red rocking chair and had been a villain ever since the day when Lottie had rocked him upon the toes of my brand-new shoes. While the heroine, who had the most surprising adventures, was a dainty upholstered little chair with spindling gilt legs "From the dining room I would drag In the large armchair, and because it was mother's chair I felt a very great fondness for it. That was why it was always the hero and in the end. of my play was married to the little gilt heroine. "How seriously I took my dreams! I spoke the lines for each of my actors in turn and when my heroine was unhappy real tears came trickling down my cheeks. As I liked best the sad and mournful melodrama, I tore around that parlor like a madcap, upsetting chairs, saving the heroine, fighting the villain and always when the play had ended 'happily ever after for my actors killing myself by falling off the table on to the floor. "To grow up and be an actress that was my earliest ambition. I was always acting. Even in my most joyous moments I would walk around the house with a woebegone expression, sighing sighs as if I carried the weight of the world upon my shoulders especially if there were visitors! Some of mother's friends, out of compliment to her, would say: 'What a pretty little girl your Mary is.' These people I disliked intensely. But some times a visitor came who made note of my strange gestures, my sad expression, and would comment upon them more wisely to my mother, 'Guess that funny little Mary of yours will grow up to be an actress.' These people I adored extravagantly."

FALSE
Continued From Page One of appropriation which the program demands and could contemplate the danger to our country and its institutions with which it is loaded that not one disinterested person in a hundred would favor it, but, on the contrary, would earnestly oppose it as I shall do in Congress. Expects Condemnation. "I fully realize the penalties which I must suffer in the position I take. I know that the press of the country from one end to the other will denounce, ridicule, misrepresent and libel me in every way possible. I am fully prepared, too, to believe that many enthusiasts of the program and of the Administration, in and out of Congress, who have heretofore been my friends will not only criticize, but in the heat of the moment, denounce me as a traitor to my country, to my party and to the administration. "But I have given mature thought and study . to the. subject and I am thoroughly convinced that the measures proposed will be a great wrong
to the country and to the people an.d therefore I feel it my duty to oppose! them, mattering not the consequences to myself. .-."f' ; " t , -:--' .
"I feel" sure, too, that the facta and
situation with, respect to the program are not understood by the people and that they have not even caught a glimpse of its enormity. .
. Means Tax Increase. " ' "They will, however, when they begin to pay the Increased taxes requiredThe naval- program increases at one bound one year our already immensely large naval appropriation more than our total Increase for the last fourteen years, more than the increase by Germany, the whole fifteen years preceeding the European War and more than the combined increase of all the nations In the world in any one year in their history, before the European War. -
"Tne live year program increases our naval appropriations forty times
more than the increase by Germany in the five years preceeding the European War; $120,000,000 more than the combined increase of all the nations of the world for the five years pdeceding the European War and more than the combined increase of all the nations in the world for the whole period of ten years preceding the European War. People Bear Burden. "The army program increases annually our army appropriation more than one hundred percent. This huge burden the people can and . will have to stand. " From an economic standpoint the program seems to me a great wrong to the people, especially when the condition of our revenue are less able to permit increased appropriations than ever before and when too, .we are in less danger of attack from a foreign foe than ever before in the history of our country. When the war is over all of the nations engaged, the victors as well as the vanquished, will be in a state of complete exhaustion in men, money, resources and credit and none will be in a position to even think of attacking or invading our country. The big overreaching objection to the program is that this sudden radical and stupendous move for war preparation is going to shock the civilized world, and whatever be the outcome will alarm the world again into an armed camp. . It will
postpone the day of universal peace for which Christendom has been praying for generations. Prepares, for Conquest. "Every nation will absolutely know that for self defense . no such step or measure as we contemplate is necessarq. The world will be convinced, despite our protestations, that we
are preparing, as the Seven Seas magazine, the organ of the Navy League, the organisation which has created by deception and 'fraud, the apparently big sentiment for a big army and a big navy in this country, and which
seems to have stampeded our governing heads, declared. In its last issue that we should "prepare for wars of conquest." This Is militarism and navalism run mad. Both the President and Secretary of the Navy and the Democrats in congress vigorously fought, and opposed In the last session of congress the program of the Hobsons, the Gardners and others. I cannot help believing that If the administration had not put itself behind this preparedness move it would meet with almost a unanimous opposition by the Democrats in Congress. Takes Wilson's Stand. "They did in the last Congress as they had been doing heretofore, fight
and. vote against the program of the
jingoes and the war traffickers. I am taking practically the same position
now which the president in his message to "Congress last December and which the secretary of the navy in his report to Congress, and in the hearings before the naval committee last session and Admiral Fletcher, - commander of the Atlantic squadron and other-naval commanders took at the same hearings. Their position was as expressed by the Secretary of the Navy in his testimony before the committee, "I think It would be most unwise for us to act in any particular as we would not have acted if there

was no war. My thought Is that our country ought to be carrying on its regular, :' orderly.- - normal program as to the navy. Without our policies and American ideas I think the policy recommended In my' report and adopted by the last session of Congress is the steady . development needed. This meets the needs of the country-" "I might add -in spite of the tons of literature of deception and misrep
resentation, being poured out daily to the people through, the press and the navy year book, maniuplated and doctored for the purpose of misleading the people, we have now a navy much
superior in strength and efficiency to that of Germany or any other country
except Great ' Britain. No official in
the government has jet been able to
answer - the simple question: "For what and against whom. this government proposes in this tremendous
prepare?"
CIGAR COST MAN $450. a
MUNCIE, Ind., Dec: 1. Joseph Co-
geika smoked a cigar that cost him $450. Cogelka and another man spent

friend and $450 In cash had disap
peared.
FLAG STOPS TOWER CLOCK.
RUSHVILLE, Ind., Dec. 1. The flag on the court house stopped the tower clock here. The wind caused the rope
attached to the flag to break and it
became entangled in ahe handa of the
clock. After the clock faces to the
north, south, and west had gained one hour In time, they. too. stopped. The flag was later removed. .
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.
The close connection which - exists between the heart and the kidneys Is well known nowadays. As soon as kidneys are disease, arterial tension is Increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs, and the person dies and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs. It is a good insurance against such a risk to send 10 cents for a large trial package of "Anuric" the latest discovery of Dr. Pierce. Also send a sample of your water.

To Have Perpetually Wavy, Curling Hair
Perpetually wavy, curly hair is now within the means of every woman to possess. All one need do is to get a few ounces of plain liquid silmerine at any drug store and apply a little of it occasionally. This is remarkably effective in producing a beautiful curliness and satiny gloss which bear no
evidence of artificial making. It is j
neither sticKy or greasy, and it will not streak, stain or Injure hair or scalp in the least. After one trial, the scorchinr, hairJestroying curling Iron will never more be used. The best way to apply
the silmerine is with a clean tooth brush, drawing this through the hairfrom root to tip. If this is done be-' fore retiring, a looking the mirror in , fie morning will afford a most agreefible surprise. Adv. i
