nOO OUTLINES FINANCIAL AID U. S. GAVE WAR

American People Gave Billions in Taxes and Subscriptions, Treasury- Report Shows War Cost $13,222,000,000. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The financial history of America's part lu the war is set forth by Secretary McAdoo 'n his annual report drafted before his resignation, and made public today by the Treasury. , It is the history of how tho American people paid billions li taxes, raised four great liberty loans and created a tremendous pool of credit .with which the treasury tbiough it's many war agencies paid lh bills of the army and navy, the shipping board and other government departments, loaned billions to the Allies and millions to war industries, J elped support the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over periods of financial stringency. The report constitutes Secretary Mr Adoo's final accounting of his stewitrdship before retiring as the nation's fine nee minister. Throughout the report, Mr. McAdoo refers repeatedly to ihe remarkable achievements of America's civilian population in providing the money and materials of war, and acting as the "meagre second line of defense." Permanent Investments. For the fifteen months ending last June 30, Secretary McAdoo estimated that the actual cost of the war, with uliowances for the government's ordirar yexpenses in. ordinary times, p mounted to $13,222,000,000. Nearly half of this, of $6,499,000,000, went into permanent investments, in the form of ships, shipyards, war vessels, army ramps, buildings, and in loans to Allies or to American war industries. Of the year's expenses, 31.6 per cent, came from taxation. Tho civil establishment of the govirnment during the year spent $1,507, (00.000. while the War Department spent $5,684,000,000 and the navy $1,S6S, 000,000. For the support of the fumy alone the government paid out J4.4 12.000.000. Looking forward. Secretary McAdoo iound great difficulty in forecasting expenditures tor the current fiscal year vhich ends next June 30, on account of the sudden coming of peace. Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of eacn department in advance of revisions since the signIms of the armistice and he does not consider them reliable. With this exI lanation, Mr. McAdoo forecast exI :nditures for the year at $20,687,000,ik.C for government purposes and $4,::,COO,000 lor loans to Allies and $2.f '.1,000,000 for redemption of outsunding certificates and other cancellation. Total estimated disbursements for the year were put at $27,ns.ooo.ooo. Against this? estimate which actual i xpensej at the rate of a little more tl.ao a billion and a half dollars a tuonth to date,' indicate is too high. Mr. McAdoo calculated that the government will receive about $5,000,000,00 before the. end of the fiscal year iiext June 30, from income and profits lues, $1,100,000,000 from other taxes, tlf t.000,000 from suctoms and ,1555,0(0,00 from miscellaneous sources, int tiding $70,000,000 from increased 'jcstage, making estimated receipts from ordinary edurces $6,0846.000,000. In edditlon, he figured roughly on a llitlo more than $5,000,000,000 from further issues of liberty bonds and $1,200,000,000 from war savings. These figures added to receipts from Liberty Loan Bonds already sold make $14,3CS.C00.000 the total of popular borrowings expected during the year. On this basis total estimated receipts would be $21,022,000,000 or $6,695,000,00C less than tentative estimates of dirbursements. Actual developments :re expected to charge these caluclalions greatly. U. S. Public Debt. The United States' public debt last June 30 was $12,396,000,000. without taking into consideration .the $1,319.000.000 free balance in the Treasury to partially offset the debt. The public debt has been increased since then by the Fourth Liberty Loan of nearly $7,000,000,000 and by Treasury certificates of indebtedness amounting to seevral hundred million dollars. The report disclosed for the first time the activities of the Treasury's finking fund to buy up Liberty bonds Vn an effort to keep their price from falling far below par. Up to November 1. it is shown. $244,036,500 worth of bonds, face value, had been purchased on the open market for $234,310.000. or at an average price of about 96 per cent, and subsequently held by the Treasury. Of this sum, $172,445.000 were second Liberty Ix)an bonds, of both 4 and 4i per cent issues; $70,935,000 were third Liberty Loan bonds, and $65,600,000 were first Liberty Loan converted bonds. Mr. McAdoo took the occasion to emphasize again the importance of hastening enactment of the revenue bill now pending in congress. Hope to Continue W. 8. S. "Unless the measure becomes a law In the near future," he said, "it will not be physically possible for the Treasury to frame the necessary reguA WARTIME RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR Lr nr far.

The enforcement of the law will necessary be imperilled." Mr. McAdoo reviewed the financial practices of the year, including the floating of 6hort term certificates of indebtedness in advance of every Liberty Loan to prevent the disturbing of the money market by the loans and to obtain the money needed by the Treasury in advance of loan receipts. He said the war' savings movement had resulted not only in gathering in $834,000,000 for war purposes up to November 1, but it had helped to teach the American people thrift and economy. Turning to the enormous task of collecting $3,694,619,000 in taxes during the last fiscal year, or more than four , times the record collection of the year previous, the Secretary emphasized that this had been accomplished largely through the co-operation of business interests and individual tax payers. . .

TELLS A SECRET Manufacturer of Famous Medicine Tells Ingredients, so Public Can Appreciate Pure, Reliable Medicine. Many people fear to take medicine to check and abort colds, cure coughs, catarrh, etc. This fear is groundless with all the products of the Blackburn Products Co., Dayton, Ohio. Not one contains opiates, narcotics or harmful drugs. Mentho-Laxene, for coughs, colds, catarrh and all distress following a cold, is compounded of Wild Cherry, Tolu, Cascara, Grindelia, Menthoe Ammonium Chloride, and alcohol sufficient to. preserve and keep in solution. Every ingredient is in concentrated form and the medicine is so strong that only ten-drop doses are to be j taken in the "raw" state. But the ideal way is to make into syrup by emptying a 2Y2 oz. bottle of MenthoLaxene into a pint bottle, then fill the bottle with granulated sugar syrup, made by dissolving a pint of sugar in a half pint of boiling water. It is said by thousands that this makes" a most effective home treatment for all cold troubles. The manufacturer guar antees it to please or money back. Sold by all druggists. Adv. Phoni'
