Heavy and Vast Amount of Ma terial Is Requited for the Trenches. When It Is remembered that there are today under arms more than 24,- 000,000 soldiers in the European war, the immensity of the task of keeping them supplied with the munitions with which they wage war will ap- pear, It has been estimated that it costs approximately $100 to outfit a soldier. Of this $25 goes for a gun and $35 for his 1,000 rounds of car tridges. The average life of a uniform under modern service conditions is very short; that of the ordinary rifle is six months. In all of the history of war there never has been such a rapid exhaustion of all of the materi als with which it is made, says the Na tional Geographic Society Bulletin. A 75-centimeter gun can fire about 400 projectiles a day. Each of these projectiles costs approximately $6. Counting this and the depreciation of the gun, which Is particularly rapid, the dally outlay for its operation amounts to $2,700. It is estimated that the 120 75-centimeter cannon in an army corps, fired all day, cost, in mu- nitions and depreciation $320,000. In addition to this, each army corps has about forty pieces of heavy artillery. Explosives and depreciation for a sin gle day's work for them totals $500,- 000, making the total artillery expense of an army corps $820,000 a day. If the outlay in gun metal and pow der is heavy, it is no more so than the outlay for materials demanded by the present necessities of trench warfare. An officer who has studied this phase of the present war carefully says that a trench in a state fit for occu- pation in winter requires 1,250,000 running feet of 3 by 3 timber, 36,000 running feet of corrugated iron, 6,250,- 000 sandbags weighing 1,000 tons and 24,000 standards and pickets to the mile. In addition to this, 900 miles of barbed wire has to be used, weigh ing 110 tons. When one stops to re call the hundreds of miles of trenches which stretch across Europe in dif ferent directions and how often sec tions of these trenches have to be re built, he can gain some idea of the tremendous amount of material re quired in their outfitting. Another picture of the vastness of the munitioning trade and the im mensity of the task of keeping the armies in the field and in fighting con dition may be had from the statement that there are now more then 4,000 con trolled munition plants in Great Brit ain alone. Of these 19 out of 20 nev er produced war materials before the war broke out. They employ nearly 3,000,000 men and nearly 750,000 wom en. The vastness of the Industry In England Is not out of proportion to that in France. Although Germany holds 70 per cent of France’s coal and some 80 per cent of its iron, Frane has been able, by the opening up oi new furnaces and by immense impor tations of ore and pig metal, largely to overcome this handicap. 28 sue "The Grape of Brazil." Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used It to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis- ease.

Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will coat but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one’s feet of every corn or callous. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callous, In- stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callous will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezone doesn’t eat out the corns or callouses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur- rounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no sore- ness or smarting when applying It or afterwards. If your druggist don’t have freezone have him order it for you.

KIESO SICK SEVEN MONTHS HERMISTON, OREGON WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED There Has Been Very Little Direct Management of Business by Great Britain and France, However. Contrary to the common understand ing in the United States there has been very little direct management of business by the governments of Great Britain and France in those countries since the war began, according to a repoct on “the relation of the govern ment to war industry,” made to the National Civic federation by Prof. Jer emiah W. Jenks. There has been, however. Professor Jenks explains, a “rather strict regula tion of industries producing or hand ling war supplies, but virtually no di rect management of business outside the regular government arsenals and certain special factories, few in num ber, bpilt by or for the British gov ernment. The power given the Brit ish government under the defense of the realm act is outlined in the report as follows: "To require any work in any factory or workshop to be done in accordance with the directions of the government. “To regulate or restrict the carry ing on of work in any factory or work shop or to remove the plant. “To take possession of any unoccu pied premises for war purposes. "In actual practice, the government gets its work done: “By paying liberal prices to estab lishments for all work done while guarding against monopolistic or other extortionate prices. “By restricting or forbidding the making of certain classes of goods not needed for war purposes. “By prescribing rigidly the order in which the various classes of work are to be finished and delivered. “By regulating through various re strictions the distribution of the sup ply of labor and the conditions under which work shall be done. “While the government does not di rectly manage establishments,” Pro fessor Jenks says, “it does tell what to do, determine the order of work, con trol transport of goods and materials in proper order, forbid workmen who nre needed for production of muni tions to enlist and forbid trade except under license. "These regulations,” he says, “are enforced by a committee of subordi nates acting in a friendly way by unanimous agreement. Their deci sions are on disputed questions laid before them, and are subject to an ap peal to their superior officers. Their classifications may be put into effect by employers or contractors subject likewise to an appeal. Disputes of all kinds regarding prices, wages and con ditions of labor are settled by com mittees representing all parties.” He's telling her that nothing he received from home brought more Joy. longer-lasting Pleasure, greater relief from thirst and fatigue, than WRIGLEYS W W THE FLAVOR LASTS She slipped a stick in every letter and mailed him a box now and then.

A very eccentric lady died In County Meath, says a London correspondent. After the lady’s death no will could be found, and it was thought she had died intestate. The solicitor for the person believed to be next of kin spent about 40 days in the house going through the most extraordinary ac cumulation of papers, documents and valuable property that filled the rooms in the house and even the hall. Not only every room, but every corridor was piled high with loose papers, books and parcels of all sizes and de scriptions, and the litter on the stairs was almost knee deep. Various sums of money were found in very peculiar and unlikely places; in rubbish on the floors, in band boxes, and In a purse, and two bank notes for £1 were actu ally found glued to the floor. The lawyers recovered an Immense amount of property, including £7,000 in bank notes and securities of every kind. They also discovered the lady’s will, under which various charities much benefited. Bridge Has Trestle In Center. A bridge has recently been com pleted by the Burlington railroad across the Platte river at Yutan, Neb., which has girders at either end, while the center is trestlework. This unus ual form of bridge construction is de scribed in the Popular Mechanics Mag azine. At Yutan the stream often overflows, becoming over half a mile wide, and in winter destructive ice jams have formed on it With a view to providing a bridge strong enough to resist the ice and yet not excessive in cost, the width of the Platte was decreased at this point from 2,000 feet to about 1,380 feet by building an embankment on one side. This intensified the two currents that flowed near the two banks and auto matically deepened their channels, so that the ice was more easily carried off in spring. The two current beds were spanned by girders placed on piers, set 75 feet apart, while between these there was built a trestle 700 feet long. In Days of Hard Drinking. In the days of George IV, when abil ity to drink han was regarded as a mark of distinction, every glass on the table was dedicated to one or other dignitary. The guest who dared to omit any part of this elaborate baccha nalian routine was looked upon and treated as an unclubable fellow, the spirit being identical with that of the "bad man” of Bret Harte's stories who emptied his pistol Into anyone who re- fused to drink with him.
