Dependents of Soldiers Are
Entering Complaints.
LOCAL BOARDS HELPLESS
Representative McArihur Appealed
To by J. P. Jaeger to Secure Re
lief for Wives and Mothers
Left Without Support.
Members of exemption boards In
Portland, ths office of Adjutant-Gen
eral Williams and other military of
fices are being besieged by dependents
of soldiers, who complain that they
are not receiving their allotment of
pay from the Government.
While they realize that these com
plaints are well founded, those to whom
these calls for aid are coming are un
able to do more than forward the pro
testa to Washington. The Wsr Depart
ment already has explained that it Is
doing everything possible to see that
the proper allotments from soldiers
pay reach dependents left at home. The
department, however, cites great con
fusion In names as tne reason inai
these payments, in many instances,
have not been made. Failure to re
ceive the Government pay is due In
most Instances. It Is said, to tne lacK
nf sufficient data aa to names and ad
dresses In the possession of the War
Department.
j, p. Jaeger Writes MrArthar.
J p. Jaeger, who. because of his po
sition on an exemption board has heard
the plaint of a numner or weeping
women and distressed dependents of
soldiers, yesterday wrote to Congress
men McArthur. advising mm or me
necessities of many people left witn
ntit means or suDDort w nen ineir sons
or husbands enlisted and asking u
u.methlng cannot be done to rive them
the hclo promised by the sittnormes
and provided for In an act or congress.
"We have been saying to the man
mho mas taken In the draft and to his
denendents that money Is at ones avail
able for hts wire or moiner, ami mm in
some cases made It easier tor the men
to no. But m-e can. It seems, no longer
make this promise or hold It out as an
Inducement.
'I have heard Innumerable com
plaints that the promised help haa not
been forthcoming. Some of the people
mho come to me are In dire distress.
Indeed. I know of no case where the
Government has made the promised
provision for dependents of oldiers. as
was agreed, upon and declared by act
of Congress."
Relief Feed Exhaaated.
The law stipulates that in the rase
of a dependent wife the soldier must
make an allotment or sis per month
from his salary of 130. The Govern
ment adds Jlo to the soldier's SI 5,
making 130. For one child 17.50 per
month additional is allowed by. the
Sovernment, and for the second child
It Is required that an allotment by
he soldier be made in the case of a
dependent wife, while It is not re
quired that a similar provision be made
n the case of a dependent mother. This
may be done, however, at the soldier's
volition.
Some time ago the Progressive Busi
ness Men's Club set aside a fund that
mas used to relieve distress of sol
diers' dependents. This fund haa been

PASTOR IS MILITANT
Dr. M. A. Matthews, Seattle,
Addresses Rotary Club.
PACIFISTS ARE DENOUNCED
Preacher Declares That Every Pac
ifist in Country Should Be In
terned Xeed of Big Army to
Win War Is Emphasized.
Liberty loan enthusiasm marked the
usual Tuesday noon luncheon of the
Rotary Club at the Benson Hotel
yesterday. "Fight or buy bonds" was
the stirring Injunction of Dr. Mark
A. Matthews, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church. Seattle, and he roused
no end of liberty loan spirit.
It was announced yesterday that the
Rotary Club, through its membership,
has so far subscribed $1,463,300 to the
third liberty loan, with an expected
increase in this sum of 25 per cent.
"I am interested, not in peace, but
in how deep hell is in which to bury
the Germans." declared Dr. Matthews.
"I believe in an alliance of the Eng
lish speaklnc people of the world. We
are banded together in a bond never
to be broken. And we owe France a
debt that can never be paid.
"The war cannot be won by England
and France alone unless we lend them
money to carry on the struggle.
"German money is being spent In
Portland. There are spies in your city
and they are men you know and least
suspect. The overthrow of the Ker
ensky government in Russia was
plotted on the Pacific Coast. It was
etiused by German spies. And we of
the Pacific Coast allowed 2000 men
from Seattle, Portland and San Fran
cisco to return to Russia and work
out the plans of the Germans there.
"We have no easy task. We are going-,
to win, but it will take time and
mcney to do it. It may take five years,
but we will win. Democracy is being
put to the test now and if we fail to
win, then will come Socialism, which
i3 almost as bad as Kaiserism.
"We have got to give 5,000,000 men
to the war by next year. If I had my
way, I'd establish compulsory training
in this country, for we may yet be
called upon for our full strength of
18,000,000 men.
"I'll die before I'll take a permit from
that damnable devil, the Kaiser, to
do anything. I'd shoot him like I'd
shoot a mad dog.
"There are people In this country
who say that if they could kill the
Kaiser and his sons. ' the war would
end. They speak like fools. Don't
make a mistake like that.
"There is no place jon the top side
of American soil for a pacifist. I
would intern every pacifist in the Unl- j
ted States, preachers and all, for the
term of the war. There Is no room
n this country for a pacifist. If you
have one, shoot him. Don't talk peace
to me; I don't want peace, I want
rlsrhteousness.
Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifier at about the cost
one must pay for a small Jar of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should be
taken to strain the lemon Juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months. Every woman knows that
lemon Juice is used to bleach and re
move such blemishes as freckles, sal
lowness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. It should nat
urally help to whiten, soften, freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Tour druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons. Adv.

APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness. .
Common garden sage brewed Into a .
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela
tion If your hair is lading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the age Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is trou
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your haiiv taking '
one small strand t a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, -
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease. Adv.
