Jews Are Doing More Than Their Share American Jews are doing their full duty in this war. Representative Walter M. Chandler of New York in a speech in New York last week, which was reproduced in the Congressional Record at the request of Senator Julius Kahn of California, after reviewing the accomplishments of the race as recorded in history, had the following to say about their activity in the present war: "Of the general population of the country," he said, "10 percent are capable of bearing arms, and 2 percent are now actually under arms ; that is, one-fifth of the possible levy is serving and four-fifthe are not. But among the Jews of the United States only about 5 percent are capable of bearing arms and 2 percent are already doing so. This means that while for the country at large only 20 percent of the 'capables' are now in service, among the Jews fully 40 percent have answered the call. The Jews of America have oversubscribed their allotment of man power by 100 percent."

The congressman submitted the following list of prominent Jews serving the country in important positions : Felix Frankfurter, Boston: Appointed con

fidential assistant to Secretary Baker, May,

1917. Since then has been appointed by Presi

dent Wilson to settle labor disturbances in the

west and is now director of all war labor.

Peter Carp. Peter Carp, the new premier of Roumania, finds his high office a rather empty honor. Though premier in name, he is in fact only an errand boy for the kaiser and his crowd, whose bidding he must always do.

Promotion for General March From the Chicago Tribune. THE nomination of Maj. Peyton March to be general and chief of staff will receive immediate confirmation in the senate if there is appreciation in that body for conspicuous efficiency. Since Gen. March

returned from France to take his present position as act

ing chief of staff there has been a marked acceleration and improvement in our military preparations, a change for which those who are following the professional conduct of the war had been anxiously waiting. It soon became apparent that the new chief was going to fulfill the promise of his previous service and to supply the driving force, the sound judgment, grasp and character which is called for in a chief of. staff. Secretary Baker is to be congratulated upon his decision to confirm Gen. March in the vitally important office he has been filling provisionally and upon availing

himself of the exceptional qualifications of ope of the ablest of our military men. The changes in war department organization and personnel during the last three or

four months have been full of promise of achievement. The bringing in of Mr. Stettinius, the assignment of Gen. Goethals to more important work, the return of Gen. March to head the general staff have all been events which meant higher levels of efficiency, expedition, and

sound judgment on all capital questions of policy. Con

structive criticism and the harsher tutelage of disillusion

ine experience, Mr. Baker seems to be profiting by. We

sincerely trust that the more serious errors in the con

duct of our military preparations, are of the past and that

with the marked improvement in his official environ

ment Mr. Baker's record will be as creditable as he could

wish it to be.

"Send Some Richmond

Boys" Writes Sailor

"Send some more Richmond men up here," is the message from Merle Williams of Richmond, a recent navy recruit, In a letter to Navy Recruiter Kienzle. Williams is in Company 156, Regiment 9, at the Great Lakes Naval Training station. His address is Barracks 936, North Camp Farragut. "We are just ending our third day in camp," Williams writes, "and I like it fine. We got our first typhoid shot

yesterday, but it did not hurt. They are certainly sending men in, about 300 arrived today. We have 24 in our barracks, and they are all jolly good

fellows. We had a little driling this morning on our way to church and it just made me want more. We don't expect to stay here in detention very

long, as we get our second shot Mon

day. Ray Williams is in the camp next to ours, but I cannot get a pass to see

him yet.

"We are having things pretty easy,

and get good "eats." We have boxing, wrestfing, and all sorts of enter

tainment to prevent us from getting

homesick.

LIME FOR ACID SOIL

BY E. F. MURPHY. (City Garden Supervisor) Lime is deficient in a great many soils, especially those derived from granite, sandstones, slates and shales. When soil is deficient in lime, we say, "the soil is sour or acid." A strong mineral acid, preferably hydrochloric, is sometimes used to determine the amount of lime in soils by determining the amount of lime dissolved. When only 1 to lVa per cent, of lime is present, it is desirable to apply lime to the soil. The acid thus used may remove a considerable amount of iime and yet the application of lime will show beneficial results. Even soils of a limestone origin may show a bene fit from liming, due to the fact that there is an insufficient amount of carbonate of lime present. This is brought about by plants removing the carbonate of lime and some

of it being leached out of the sou. In this case, the soil of course, shows an acid reaction. A very simple way of detecting this acid reaction or determining whether

Organic Union of All Evangelical Churches Urged COLUMBUS, Ohio., May 23. Resolutions urging the organic union of all the Evangelical churches in the United States, were adopted Wednesday by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian chinch. This action was declared to be the most important taken by any denomination in years. As a beginning toward such a church union. Moderator J. Frank Smith, of Dallas, Texas, and Rev. Dr. William Henry Roberts, stated clerk of the assembly,, were directed to teleKranh to the four national church

bodies now in session the Northern Baptists, Southern Baptists, United Brethren and Southern Presbyterians, asking them whether they will apopint delegates to a convention on organic church union, together with the information that the Presbyterian had voted in favor of such an amalgamation. The General Assembly also indorsed Immediate national prohibition and went on record as favoring the Hoover plan of wheat conservation.

, the soil is sour or not is to place some moist soil on contact with a strip of blue litmus paper. If the litmus pa

per turns pink, the soil is sour, and ground limestone should be applied at the rate of three tons per acre. Physical Effects of Liming Acid Soils. When an acid soil is wet by rains and is not porous enough for the water to pass through rapidly, the soil becomes water-logged and the necessary air is excluded. The liming of such a soil will render the surface more triable and the ground is then less apt to pack, puddle, bake and crust. When the soil is in such a physical condition that the water is allowed to pass through readily, less water runs off the surface and the washing away of the soil particles is lessened. Ground limestone is not a fertilizer. It only sweetens a sour soil so that legumes can thrive and draw nitrogen out of the air into the soil, and it nnt

a heavy soil in better physical condition. It should be applied after the ground

has been plowed or spaded and then

worked in with the top surface.

Alkali Makes Soap Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, 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 cheap, 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, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv.

Had a Hole in His Nose

Eaten Into the Flesh by That

Terrible Disease Catarrh. X . WAS STUBBORN CASE Intor-State Doctors' Treatment Relieved It in a Few Days.

J. C. Thompson, who lives at 206 S. Broadway, Youngstown, Ohio, had a terrible experience with that dreadful disease, catarrh. It had defied all the treatment of doctors for years, and was rapidly eating a hole through his nose. When Mr. Thompson heard of the wonderful cures which are being made by the Inter-State Doctors he decided to go to them. Mr. Thompson was so veil pleased with the results of the treatment he received from the Inter-State Doctors that he wrote the following letter for publication:

"I have had catarrh for about fifty years and have not been able to get any relief, although I have doctored

continually for it. My nose was swollen twice its usual size, and was nearly eaten through on one side, and

tnere was a burning or stinging in my nose that felt like bees. I was

also troubled with continuous head

acbes from which I could get no re-

net. About a week ago I came to

the Inter-State Doctors and began

taking treatment. My nose is no longer

swollen and the hole is healed, the

burning and stinging is gone, as also

are the headaches, and I now have every hope of being a well man in a short time. Anyone who is doubtful

about what the Interstate Doctors can do and will call at my residence, 20(5 South Broadway, I will be pleased to tell you what they have done for me.

J. C. THOMPSON." One of the most prevalent diseases

in this damp, cnangeable climate is

catarrh. Thousands and thousands of

Indiana people have catarrh in some of its various forms. It is a disease

that manifests itself in many and various ways. The most common form is in catarrh of the nose and throat, and many, many times extending to the lungs, and then consumption. Catarrh

cases that have been treated by ordinary doctors are quickly benefited by this wonderful system of medicine used by the Inter-State Doctors, who have their institute located on the second floor of the Starr Block, cor

ner of Main and 10th, over the Starr Piano store.

They successfully treat all curable

cases of Nerves, Blood, Skin. Heart. I

Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Constipation, Goitre, Gall Stones, Catarrh, Epilepsy, Dyspepsia,

You Can't Brush Or Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never

fails to do the work. Adv.
