War Grafters,. ' If the American people have lost millions because of graft in the purchase of army uniforms,

the government must not delay

the grafters their deserts. Graft is a disgrace Army graft is intolerable.

The American people have

ernment with money. They have oversubscribed liberty loans, bought thrift stamps and assured the federal officials that they will back them to the limit. Dishonest profiteering by officials and contractors discourages the people Who are trying to do their bit to help win the war. , The disclosure came early enough to nip this kind of graft in the bud. The dispatch with which the secret service unearthed the practice nnd exposed the guilty men is encouraging. It proves that Uncle Sam is protecting the interests of the people and will not tolerate graft of any fort. Graft in army contracts is an attack from the rear. It is" a form of treason. If men, money and materials will win the war, then the man who sells out is a traitor, and the man who steals money or cheats with material also is a traitor. You cannot differentiate between the morally corrupt in either of three factors that will decide the issue. Quick shrift with grafters will abolish the menace. A soldier who is a traitor gets the death penalty. An official or contractor who . plays traitor deserves to be dealt with summarily and effectively.

Air-Service Requirements (By the Committee on Public Information). Edward R. Stettinius, the recently appointed surveyor general of supplies for the Army is turning bis attention first to a tightening up of the business organization of the Signal Corps, for here, as in no other branch of the service, is typified the interrelation between the industrial and the military processes of war-making. The reader of newspapers and magazines is ,. accustomed to think of the air service as consist- . ing entirely of intrepid fliers who soar over the 1' enemy's lines, 'reconnoitering, bombing, and, in general, fulfilling the traditions of that most picV turesque branch of our military service. PerHhaps no department of warfare appeals more to rthe imagination and less to a realization of the f practical, mechanical grind of the day's work. And yet, if each pilot were to take up in the air with him all the men who are, in their way, as intimately connected with that single airplane as he himself, a Zeppelin-sized conveyance would be required; for, besides the pilot, there are 30 industrial soldiers to every plane which flies over the front. Each pilot is the personal representative of 30 machinists, toolmakers, engine fitters, .. cabinetmakers, carpenters, sailmakers, motor and ' plane repairmen all of them soldiers, all of them members of the Signal Corps, and all of them waiting on the ground with a personal interest in that machine. " It is the building up of this combination industrial military organization that has made the work of the Signal Corps so phenomenal, and it is to its further development and co-ordination that Mr. Stetinius is bringing his exceptional tal

Growers of Perishable Foods are Urged to Produce Regular Crops " INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26. "The gov- , ernraent has no intention to restrict the production of perishable foods . Growers are urged to produce their ; usual crops. "The only anxiety of the food adiuin- ' istration is that every foot of available '" ground be put under cultivation and that a maximum of foodstuffs be brought forth," said Dr. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana to- ".. day. Dr. Barnard has received many in- " quiries as to the attitude of the adminIstration particularly In reference to growing of melon crops in Indiana. To r"rach of these he has pointed out that . the government has no purpose to tell -:the farmer what he shall grow or what he shall not grow, the concern being altogether with a maximum of productIon, the incidental problems, such as market transportation, etc., will be left " for settlement as occasion requires. r For Itching Torture 'Z There is one remedy that seldom fails to stop itching torture and relieve skia irritation and that makes the skia soft; -clear and healthy.

ents for organization. Progress in this branch of war preparation may be said to have begun at minus zero, because, at the declaration of war, it became necessary to cancel a large percentage of the work which was being carried forward, on a peace-time basis. On July 24, 1917, when the appropriation bill providing for the expansion of this fighting branch was passed, the personnel of the flying service consisted of only a few hundred men. Today the personnel of the Signal Corps numbers 90,000. including fliers, mechanics, and trade experts in every line. The industrial soldiers enrolled in this service are all sent to schools for trade testing. Here they are sorted into squadrons for training in that branch of the work for which they are best fitted. These squadrons are given military training for purposes of discipline, but their intensive training is in the industrial phases of the service so vital to the maintenance of the ships of the air. Added to the great manufacturing activity which is being concentrated ceaselessly upon the production of engines, planes', air-craft parts, machine guns, scientific instruments and materials, is the big task of whipping human material into shape for active service. A tremendous work has already been done by the Signal Corps. European experts have stated that the flying and training schools in the United States, created within a few brief months, surpass 'anything in this line to be seen in Europe after three years of war. It is to the perfecting of this great business and manufacturing organization, which is so essential to the picturesque "Cavalry of the clouds," that Mr. Stetinius's knowledge and organizing ability is first being turned.

Unreasonable Softness By E. E. Harriman of the Vigilantes. WHEN one of our boys in France sights a Boche head above a parapet it is his duty to plug that head with a bullet. ' When he catches any man trying to destroy any part of the equipment of our Army it is his duty to shoot straight. . Now, why should we merely slap the firebug, the poisoner, the dynamiter and the propagandist on the wrist? Why should we take a man who has been doing everything in his power to destroy our soldiers through the destruction of their means of subsistence, and intern him for the duration of the war? Why should we disregard the old law thatsays the spy must die, and merely imprison? la the man who causes death by indirect, premeditated means any less culpable than the one who shoots or stabs with a bayonet? Why do we not put an end to the spying by killing the spy? They are dangerous even while incarcerated, and the unreasonable softness of our authorities may mean, and likely has already meant, the loss of some American lives.

The Food Administration Says: Fats supply heat and energy for soldiers. Our Allies can barely get enough fats to keep them going. Butter is very hard to get in Europe because the feed for dairy herds is so scarce. Guard the fat supply In your home. Glycerine is made of fats, and thousands of Ions of glycerine are being used to make explosives. Waste fat and you help endanger our supply of ammunition. Can not your country count on you to save at least one-third of an ounce of fat a day? If so, you will help win the war. DINNER 5 TORI E S "Miss Ethel is a long time coming down," said the youth to the servant, after waiting some time for the young lady's appearance. "Perhaps," he added with a laugh, "perhaps she is making up her mind whether to see me or not." "No," said the servant with an icy 6mile, "it isn't her mind she is making up." A New York bride and groom began their honeymoon by making a trip to one of the southern ports by a coastwise steamer. The young bride, who took a lively interest in the passengers, said one day to her husband: "Did you notice the great appetite of that stout man opposite us at dinner?" "Yes," said her husband. "He must be what they call a stowaway." The children of the neighborhood had been greatly interested in the news of the arrival of a baby at the Joneses', and one of them put this question to little Willie Jones: "What is your new brother's name?" "They haven't found out yet," replied Willie. "He can't talk." "My mother has the loveliest new dress," said Bessie. "So has my mother," said Olive. "My mother goes to more parties than anybody in this town." "My mother has the doctor more than any one in this town," said Olive triumphantly. "Our cars are pretty crowded," said the manager of a New York city line. "Um." "Our passengers are pretty hot." "In that case," suggested the president of the outfit, "we won't have to heat the cars." More than 6,000 women are employed in combing the battlefields in France where everything is being salvakd. Even old boots are being picked up and made to do duty again. Buy thrift stamps and help win the war.

The horseless age is surely creeping upon us. Dean Horace W. Hoskins of the New York University State Veterinary College, has advised frugal housewives and people who are banded together in an effort to obtain real food to eat horsemeat. ! It is cheaper and more wholesome than beef, and it tastes so like beef that the diner can'lf tell the difference. According to Dean Hoskins, New York City alone is now eating 10,000 ' pounds of horsemeat per week. There are 2,000,000 horses in the west which are too small for army use. "Eat 'em," advises th"? professor. All right, professor. Pass the bucking broncho. We'll try anything once.

will soon be asked: "Have you a little rabbit in your home?" There are slight drawbacks. Ah! but there are always those. One of the drawbucks is that it is very difficult to keep one rabbit. You may start out with one, but about the time you get uted to that one you will have several more. Rabbits is rabbits, just as pigs is pigs, if you gather what we mean.

"Stamp, stamp, stamp, the boys are writing." Gone are the good old days of the pretty cerise two-centers which bravely bore so many manuscripts hither and tbitber and yon, back and forth, some of them with pendulum precision. Now the stamps are lavender. The authors never did like lavender. It is a color which hasn't a good reputation and hasn't had since the days of Guy de Maupassant. Lavender stories don't go any more. Why have lavender stamps? Is the lavender stamp worth a cent more than a red stamp? Ask any author. Thrift and war stamps bought of Uncle Sani will help win the war against Prussianism. GIVE YOUR STOMACH A MAGNESIA BATH A Wonderful Treatment For Dyspepsia, Indlgentlon and Sour, Vpnet Stomach No man or woman who suffers from acid indigestion or dyspepsia can make a mistake by giving their stomach an occasional Internal bath with a little bisurated maernesia. says a well known authority. Ninety per cent of all digestive disorders are caused by "acid stomach." Nature provides hydrochloric acid as one of the digestive fluids but a great many stomachs generate too much acid which irritates and inflames the stomach walls and causes partially digested food to sour and ferment. Thus the stomach while fundamentally all right develops gas. wind and the pain commonly mistaken for indigestion. This harmful, poisonous excess acid in the stomach should be neutralized before it works Its way into the blood and is carried all over the body. The moment your stomach burns or feels sour or the food you eat begins to hurt get a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia from any reliable druggist and take a teaSpoonful in a little water. Relief comes in five minutes by the watch. The Bisurated Magnesia washes down into your acid-inflamed and burning stomach and soothes and cools the heated walls and takes up or neutralizes every trace of excess acid present much as a piece of blotting paper or sponge might do. Every symptom of stomach distress vanishes and natural, easy, painless digestion follows. Adv. Just think! Not one bit of pain before applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn't even irritate the surrounding skin. Hard corns, soft corns, or corns between the toes, also hardened calluses on bottom of feet ehrivel up and fall off without hurting a particle. It is a scientific compound made from ether. Get the genuine!

DARKEN GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally that Nobody Can Tell.

-niS;NT,FAIf TO MY HUSBAND Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when It fades, turns gray; dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Wyeth's Sage a,nd Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful appearance to the hair. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.
