HERALD, THE HERMISTON WAR OFFICE STOPS BOMB DISTRIBUTION NATIONAL CREDIT MEN PRESCRIBE H. C. L REMEDY Secretary Tregoe of National Treasury Department’s Plan to Association Credit Men Ad vises Greater Production Award Hand Grenades Blocked As a portion of its campaign against The War Department has cancelled its contract to supply the Treasury De partment with 15,000,000 hand grenades which were to be converted into sav ings banks to stimulate the sales of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates, according to a telegram received by C. A. Farnsworth, associate director of the War Loan Or ganization in the Twelfth Federal Re serve District, from Washington. Banks and Trust Companies of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District had ordered nearly 100,000 grenades before news of the cancellation was received. The telegram to Farnsworth read: “As the War Department has deter mined that the distribution of hand grenades as souvenirs should be dis continued, and has cancelled its ar rangement for supplying grenades to the Treasury Department to be manu facturad into grenade savings banks, the Treasury Is unable to continue the distribution of the banks. "In order, however, to recognize the efforts of the children in working and saving during the vacation time, each one who would be entitled to a bank will receive a certificate of achieve- ment from the Treasury in apprecia tion of his Industry In saving and buy ing government seerrities." The hand grenades were known as Mills bombs No 11 *nd were ready for shipment to American forces in France when the armistice was signed. "I am deeply disappointed as I know the peo ple who looked forward to receiving one of these war souvenirs will be,” said Mr. Farnsworth. "However, 1 feel sure that thrifty, patriotic folks who are investing regularly in War Savings Stamps will continue to help the gov ernment.” W. S. 8. high prices, the National Association of Credit Men has directed a letter to each member, declaring that the rem edy necessary to change present con ditions rests in increased production and stimulation of personal savings. The letter was sent through J. H. Tre goe. secretary and treasurer of the or ganization. Members of the association through out the country have been extending hearty cooperation to the Savings Itivi «ion of the Treasury Department in the effort to popularize thrift through the sale of government savings securities such as Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi- cates. Mr. Tregoe In his letter urges the adoption of a national labor policy which will not only recognize but com pel good faith and honor in the con tractural relations of employed and em- ployer. "The right to hire and discharge st will,” said Mr. Tregoe. "implies the right to leave and strike at will. Both of these rights, at least up to the pres ent, are under control of natural laws and, when misused, carry a moral in- jury. “Let us quit strong arm methods, the autocratic procedure, the breaking of contracts, the violation of good faith, the ignoring of public interests, and get down to a basis where men can and must live right in their relations, in dustrial and social, with one another.” There would be a deal less unrest if every man owned a bank account or government securities.

An income from War Savings Stamps la not taxable. W. 8. S. dishwasher who died recently at Albany, New York, left an estate val ued at $12,500. He never earned more than $12 a week. Now an income of $12 a week, if saved in its entirety would mean about 212.000 in twenty years. Out of $12 a week the dish- washer had to live, But out of that sum he succeeded in saving. He saved steadily, something out of every pay envelope. And the first savings, laid aside in the hard early days when his pay was frequently less than $12 a week, were well invested. Soon they began to earn something of themselves. In Interest, for the patient, hard work ing plodder. The dishwasher was no financier He undoubtedly missed opportunities for investment that would have in creased his savings vastly. But he was steady and sure, and be accumulated enough to insure himself against ad versity. He had something solid and substantial to show for his years of patient effort. And he was forced to study the investment of his savings carefully to Insure their safety. Today the government has provided the means for enabling every small saver to invest his savings, however small, and to put them at work earn- Ing money, at an attractive rate of in- terest.

A drawbridge several miles from navigable water may seem entirely uncalled for. says Popular Mechanics Magazine, but such a bridge Is used in connection with a southern California warehouse. A spur railroad* track runs down the center of the warehouse yard, and to save time In unloading, platforms level with the car floor were built on each side of the track. Whenever It was desired to get a truck from one platform to another, it was necessary for It to go down off the platform, drive round the block, and go up the Incline to the other. This took 10 or 15 minutes of valuable time. The difficulty was eliminated by con structing several small drawbridges over the track. When It Is desired to move the train, these are simply lifted up. -rt. em". A ‘ A f Panama’s Mahogany. The mahogany of Panama Is a tree sometimes reaching a height of nearly 200 feet and six feet thick. It often grows in clumps so that it Is not un common to find it to the number of 10,000 large trees to the square mile. Such a forest of mahogany, however, Is rare, although there are occasion ally places of this sort. As a general rule, the mahogany occurs In scattered clumps, so that an average of two or three such big trees as those above mentioned per acre is the most that timber men would expect to find.

A remarkable family of plants are the messembryanthemums, which are confined chiefly to the dry districts of South Africa. Other curious fleshy- leaved South African plants are the stapelias, which cater for the likes of certain carrion-loving flies, by the simple process of having brown and purple leathery flowers with an un pleasant odor. Some of the most re markable denizens of the plant world are found In the extensive cactus fam ily. An interesting feature of these plants is found In the wonderful flow ers which ma ly of them develop. In some cases these are of immense size and of most brilliant colors. These flowers only bloom for a very short time, and some kinds only open at night Famous Midgets. Tom Thumb, whose reni name was Charles Sherwood Stratton, died in Middleboro, Mass., July 15, 1883. He was born at Bridgeport, Conn., in Jan uary, 1838, and was 14 years old when first engaged by P. T. Barnum, the showman, who dubbed him General Tom Thumb.

When your health is low, when there is weak ness of any function, whether of stomach, liver, bowels, lungs, kidneys, or the organs of the head, the first step is to remove the cause. Health is normal and natural and sickness cannot exist without a cause. All functions de pend upon the nerves and all nerves center in the spine, and it is at the nerve opening between the joints of the spine, or backbone, that all nerve pressure, disease or weakness has a localized cause. Spinal adjustments remove the cause (pres sure) and health that is normal and natural fol- lows. Yours for health, DR.
