Five Billion Dollars More Gradually the extent of America's participa

lVlt W U consciousness. Five billion dollars is the sum Secretary Mc
Adoo is asking to help cover the' cost of the stupendous war program of the government. Administration plans call for an army of 1,000,000
men in France by the spring of 1918.
Members of the senate finance committee were startled when the secretary of the treasury appeared before them to press his claims for this
vast sum. The average American, unacquainted with
iho. retail rf the war nrocrram. easped for
liiv vAvvt - - - a - ' ' - breath when he read the announcement.
And yet, John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune, expressed a true sentiment in his drawing, "It will cost a lot more if we lose." We might just as well keep that observation in our minds now, prepare for tremendous monetary sacrifices and awful human losses. This war will be no picnic or duck hunting expedition. It will mean frightful losses. Men who have deceived themselves into believing that they would escape the selective draft on flimsy excuses will find themselves up against a grim reality before the examining boards are through with the list. Few will be excused. Uncle Sam has grit his teeth and is going about the selection in a grim and determined manner that presages the taking of many a young man who up to this time has believed himself exempt. Patriotism is being put to the test. Wordy
Goethals and Denman It is to be regretted that Maj. Gen. Goethals, builder of the Panama canal, had to become involved in a controversy with a lawyer to such an extent that he felt it a duty to hand in his
resignation as manager of the emergency fleet corooration. Denman acted on the president's
request that he step out. The American people need not take the inci
f nr miirh seriousness. Great

Our $350,000,000 Gardens
Familiar as are big figures, in war-time, the estimate of $350,000,000 worth of American garden produce this year is impressive. This is one-third of the national debt last April. It equals the normal yearly revenue of Japan or British India. It is $17 for every family of five
in the country. . As fine vegetables as anywhere have been
raised in New York City by people who never J had touched a hoe. The waste of garden seeds is j slight ; of flower seeds fewer than usual were ; sold. In some cases too expensive equipment was ; procured, but the surplus will be available next; year. Flat-dwellers' allotment gardens havei proved not only educative but practical. ( Villages have waked up like the cities, and on most farms twice as much ground as usual was j
given to small crops. There should be no lack or table vegetables in any section for, except in the Rocky Mountains and the South, Missouri is the only State that failed to double its garden area. South Dakota, Tennessee and New Hampshire, leading the list, show how wide is the campaign ; but even the Eastern States, with their vast city population, show 250 per cent, increase. Patriotism sounded the call to the land, but economy properly seconded it. The splendid response to the national need will prove a benefit in peace-time also if the garden movement remains, as it should, a permanent help in feeding the people well and cheaply.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT When men think kindly of men. there is peace; the heaven of peace is a permanent heaven. Danger ceases to be a terror to the courageous: without courage, man in the face of danger suffers from the fear that has not yet harmed him. Mistakes are made -when we dare, but more frequently when we don't care; caution is the cure for the evil of our course, if we do not allow It to hold us back.

Alkali Makes Soap Bad for Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and . entirely greaseless. It's very cfieap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is al! that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking,
brieht. fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out every narticle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Adv.
Hot Water for Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in it before breakfast.
Headache of any x;nd. Is caused by auto-intoxication which means selfpoisoning Liver and bowel poisons railed toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries rtnd veins of the head producing violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it. drank before breakfast for a while, will not only wush these poisons from your system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensie. harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which Is not unpleasant. If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phosphated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and It is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every i morning never have any headache or know a miserable moment
