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.”

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.

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.

He undoubtedly missed opportunities

patient effort. And he was forced to
study the investment of his savings
carefully to Insure their safety.

HERMISTON,
Drawbridge in New Surroundings.
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.

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.

Odd South African Plant.
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

IN HEALTH BUILDING LET FIRST THINGS
COME FIRST.
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.
