AKD SUN-TELEGRAM

Country Facing Better Times, Says Houston "The country is better off today than it was three months ago, and the business world is feeling its, way with increasing confidence and with the conviction that the worst has passed," David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture and later secretary of .the treasury in . the Wilson administration, said in commenting on the second survey ;of national conditions just completed by a Baltimore bank"The country has successfully borne the strain caused by a most notably drop in prices, particularly of a vast volume of raw materials,

and has weathered a trying period of liquidation," Mr. Houston commented. "Confidence in business circles is slowly spreading, and the country is working back to a more stable condition. What the survey discloses should be an encouragement to us all to go forward with confidence, though not with recklessness"

; Centralizing Control of Aid for the Disabled The special commission investigating the care and treatment of disabled soldiers has. made three specific recommendations that will remove the cause of the complaints of the crippled veterans and of the American Legion. Centralized : federal authority to have entire change of all t agencies that handle relief work; administration j. of relief work that will make for speed and efficiency, and additional appropriations for hospitals will quickly end the mismanagement that has existed up to this time. If the supervision of all relief work is lodged in one board or commission, it will quickly coordinate the functions of the various agencies

that now are unable to meet the situation. There has been an overlapping of activity, and a constant referring of cases from one agency to another, all of which took up time, to the suffering and agony of the disabled man who was seeking relief. By, decentralizing the administration of. service, purely local cases can be handled "quickly at home. The red tape that now hinders expeditious service will be cut, and local officials, empowered to act, can go ahead without waiting until Washington answers. More hospital facilities will redound to the welfare of every soldier who requires care in a place where trained surgeons and nurses are in charge.

Vocational training, compensation, and medical relief, which have been handled by different agencies, will, if the recommendations are carried out, be under the administrative jurisdiction of one body. This will simplify procedure immensely. Most disabled soldiers and American legion posts have maintained all along that more power should be vested in officials who are at the places where an appeal is made. Under the old system, minor officials, no matter how well informed they are about the particulars of a case, must wait until some official in Washington act3 on his report and either approves or disapproves the recommendation. That this is productive of an interminable delay can readily be seen. Reports of field men pile up on the desks of officials, and days elapse before the case is finally adjusted. So also with compensation claims. Washington still decides the degree of disability, based on reports of the examination returns that have been filed with it. Competent local boards can determine the degree of disability just as well, and their findings would be just as honest as those which are made in Washington by men who have not seen the patients and may not be acquainted with all the details that enter into the claim. The country sincerely hopes that the recommendations of the commission will bring reforms. Disabled service men are entitled to speedy adjustment of their claims and to immediate relief.

Movie of a Man Who Has Just Had a Session With the Dentin

Good Evening By Key K. Moulton

Correct English

People seem to have'a very absentminded way oi' leaving bombs lying around where perfectly innocent persons can kick them and set them off. This habit has been growing for some time. Years ago we rarely heard of a bomb and when one was found it created quite a sensation in the newspapers, but latterly they have been almost as plentiful as Fords and it is nothing at all to pick one up in the

street car or on the street. Some I

people are so fond of them that they carry them around in their pockets like a bunch of keys or a tin of tobacco. It is quite dangerout to bump against anybody these days and people generally try to walk far apart. H is even perilous to shake hands with a stranger when introduced because If he is shaken up too much he is liable to explode and blow up the place. This fondness for explosives is laid to the war and is said to be one of the minor effects of that great conflict. We are firmly of the opinion that we have had enough war to last us for a good many years and we are further of the belief that any man who wanders around in these times with a tomato can full of TNT in his coat pocket, should be pinched.

A pinch-back coat and a pair of too!h-p!ck trousers such as he makes would h;vc made William Kwart Gladstone look like a lounge luard, or so runs the publicity. "Take a squint at any crowd you meet," rays one leurnine writer. "Will you find one beautiful man in it?" We hope not. WluU good is a beautiful man. anyhow? We find no beautiful men in history.

8 PER CENT WORLD'S SAVERS AMERICANS (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 8. The fact that 28.9 per cent of the world"s savings are in this country and that the average depositor in the United States has a greater sum to his credit than his European neighbor, only 8 per cent of the total number of the world's savers are Americans. Authority for this statement intha Savings Banks association of the State of New York, which has made an extensne investigation of savings banks throughout the world. In proportion to population, paid a statement issued today, a number of foreign countries exceed the United States in numbers of depositors. "Euronean neoole. tProush centuries

" Dr. Wheaton paid thai in France, one out of every five inhabitants has a savings account. In his opinion, the economy of the French people has Peen their protection aaainst the "death thrusts of centuries."

Rippling Rhymes By WALT VASON

v j ENCOURAGEMENT. The man who holds exalted place sees grief around, knee deep, and tears would trickle down his face if he had time to weep. Because he is a shining mark the knockers seek his trail: from early morn till after dark they roar and kick and v. ail. And so the great man's heart is sore, andT life seems gray and flat, and oft at night he walks the floor and wonders where he's at- We choose a skipper for our ?hip, a skipper brave and strong, but ere he's had a chance to skip we show him where he's wrong. We say he's steering for the rocks before he's under way, and criticisms, sneers and knocks confound him day by day. Encouragement the skipper courts, and ail he gets is blame; and yet we think we're dead game sports, who play a decent game. The man who has a station high is like Richard Roc; if he is praised he'll strive and try to make the business go. He's just as human as he was when he was pounding sand; his nature doesn't change because he's foremost in the land. "With honest pride, emotions high, he feels his bosom swell, when people rear on end and cry, "Good boy! You're doing well!"

Dinner Stories

A young man managed to get Into conversation with a pretty girl during a railway journey. He was very pleased with himself, and when the train arrived at his destination he said to the girl : "I'm afraid you wouldn't, perhaps, have been so nice 'f you'd know I was a married man." "Oh, as to that," said the girl, "you have nothing on me. I'm an escaped lunatic." An Irishman traveling on a train was unable to produce his ticket when the inspector demanded it. "I must have lost it," he explained, after making a thorough search of his pockeis. "But you couldn't have lost your ticket." protested the Inspector "It jinst be in your pockets somewhere." "You don't know me," replied the Irishman. "I lost a bass drum once."

Answers to Questions

V J M. H. Where was the first automobile made and by whom? Who made the first airplane? Both of these machines are products of slow orolution, the work of many minds, and no exact date can be assigned to the invention of either. A Frenchman named Cugnot made a steam driven wagon in 1769, which was greatly improved upon later by the Scotsman, Murdock, and the Englishman, Trevithick. and others shortly afterward. Gottfried Dairaier and Carl Benz in Germany: Panhard and LevaBSor in France, first made use of gasoline engines for driving vehicles between 1884 and 1887. Elwood Haynes. of Kokomo, Ind., made the first American automobile in 1893. Dr. Samuel P. Langley made the first successful airplane in 1S96, and the Wright brothers successfully flew their own machine at Kitty Hawk, N. C. in 1903. Fountain City Please tell me something about the song "John Brown's Body Lies Moldering in the Grave," and about "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground." These two old songs are very interesting to me.--The one great song of the Civil War was "John Brown's Body." Little is known about the circumstances under which it was written. The author was Charles Hall, of Charlestown, Mass. Some of the verses that were sung during the war by the tramping thousands probably were not written by Mr. Hall. The other famous song that you inquire about was written by Walter Kitterage, born at Hillsboro, N. H., in 1832. Kitterage had been drafted, and he wrote the song in a few minutes, while he was preparing to go to the front. It was very popular in the camps, and hundreds of thousands of copies were printed, during and after the Civil war.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up"

EMPTY SPACES

The usefulness and value of a bouse is found in its empty spaces the big rooms, the large closets, the wide halls, the inviting porch extending into a great empty yard. And although we often think of emptiness as expressive of useless ness. in reality it is the thing that inspires use. IT our brain should have a certain full capacity, there would come a time when we could learn no more. But there are always empty spaces in the brain, even, into which more and more knowledge may be poured. In a picture, it is the empty space that gives the greatest expression to what the artist puts there. Wonderful as are the stars, their real mystery and beauty are set forth by the empty spaces of blue that hold them. Empty space Inspires dreams. It suggests something to work for. You can't fill something that is already full. Although you can easily empty that which has been filled and re-fill it! Knowledge does very little good in the world if it isn't constantly given away. Much that we put in our mind becomes of no value as we learn and grow. Big ideas take the place of small ones. I have noticed that the first thing the real estate man does when he acquires a piece of land that is heavily wooded, is to clear it and make it empty so that it may be used! The great leader is he who knows how to give np space to those whom he would lead aright. It is an art to know how to step aside. It is bigness to give way to others. WTere there no empty spaces in the world. Opportunity would be a dead affair!

Many lessons were learned during the war as 10 saving and as to reduction in costs. The manufacturers of Dreco learned something and that was how to make Dreco the same good medicine, preserve completely its full medicinal qualities and do away with the alcohol which now costs so much. That is why today you can buy Dreco at "before the war price" and be assured of getting the same reliable remedy which so many people have praised for the relief of their troubles. For instance Mr. Walter Edmond said: "My bowels were so badly constipated I had to take purgatives nearly every night. This strong medicine deranged my stomach so that it often filled with gas and griping pains would hit me. I had pains in my back over my kidneys and my joints were sore and stiff.

"I took a treatment of Dreco and I'm like a different person today. I soon noticed my bowels acting regular, the

gas ceased to form in my stomach, my

appetite increased and my sleep became sound and refreshing. All the backache and sore joints have passed off and I can stoop over and bend about as well as ever. Dreco is great mdieini and T stro-lv rpcommend

The old fashioned root and herbs are the best medicines for us to take. Dreco contains the juices and extracts of twelve different herbal plants, which act on the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and enrich the blood. Get Dreco today.

'S ILLS

VOMIN OFTEN THINK THEY HAVE HEART TROUBLE. INDIGESTION. NERVOUS PROSTRATION. ETC, WHEN IT'S SIMPLY IRON STARVATION OF THF BLOOD. Mny women believe that they are weak and nervous as a result of age, worry and overwork: they think that their disturbed digestion, headaches, heart palpitation, shortness of breath, pains across ths back, etc.. are dus to some serious diae&te instead of the real mute iron star-ration of the blood. This is proven by the fact that when manjr of theuc same women take arganic iron for awi.;!e all their alarminc symptoms quickly disappear and tney bef-otne tronr, robust and healthy. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable four blond to chance food into iiviny cells and tissue. Without it nothinx you eat docs you the proper amount of good you do not ret the strength outof it. If you are not stronr and well do not wait until you ro all to pieces and collapse in astate of nervous prostration, but take some organic iron Nuxated Iron at once. But be sure it's opranic iron and not metallic iron which people usually take and which is made merely by the action of stronr acids on smnll pieces of iron. Organic NUXATBD IRON is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples and it oft-n increases the bodily and mental rirorof weak, wornout women in twa week.' time.
