GERMANY'S DEBT AND FINANCES ; Germany has no trouble raising iuoney for prosecuting the war, and will have none so long as her printing presses and paper hold out. Her paper money, promises to pay, has increased from $782,350,000 to 85,171,295,000 and her gold backing for these paper issues has decreased from 71.7 per cent to 20.9 in three and a half years. These figures touch only the Reichsbank, the National bank of Germany. The loan banks have in addition expanded their issues of paper money from !?3:)0,000,000 to above $2,000,000,000. This shows there is now in paper money issued by Germany's national bank above seven billions of dollars. Germany has had to maintain herself, and her debts to outside nations are negligible. While the war continues this is an advantage to her, since she does not have to make her foreign credit good. When the war is over and the water is squeezed out of the fictitious wealth the German people have piled up as war profits (here is liable to be seriou3 trouble in the readjustment Germany made no effort to pay any part of her war ex penses by taxation but relied entirely on the issuing cf paper, money and the selling of bonds. This was a wise scheme from the standpoint of the Hohenzollerns, for it kept from the people the burden of taxation and cheered them with the belief they were conducting the war with out cost. It was clearly the expectation and intention of the kaiser to levy big indemnities on France and such other of the allies as she conquered and to pay net only all war expenses but to load her treasury with gold taken by force of arms from the vanquished nations. She had designs even on America and undoubtedly had she suc ceeded in her drive at France she would sooner or later tried her hand on this country. ' All hope of these enormous indemnities has now vanished, and no matter how the final peace terms are ar ranged it is certain Germany will get no indemnities and no annexations that will in anvwav compensate her for This The United States circuit court of appeals yesterday reversed the decision of the lower court that tried the cases concerning the oil lands for which the Southern Pacific secured patents years ago, : hd declared the com pany owner of more than six thousand acres valued at $50,000,000. The court held that ths Southern Pacific had no knowledge at the time the patents were secured that the lands contained mineral or oil. The court may be cor rect, but if so why did the company suddenly obtain patents to these absolutely barren lands if it did not know they contained oil, and why did it secure patents on these lands while refusing to take out patents on the valuable timber lands it had earned further north? t The Woman Who Changed J , .

He brought me an exquisite bunch of violets, and was so gay and chatty that I really was enjoying his call. He was 8 ill flattering, and said such extravagant things about my beau ty, my taste in dress, and my well appointed home, that I blushed wiih embarrassment aud 1 confess it pleas ! ure.

Ilf I,IJ.-JslJlll ! bolsheviki as the real government of that country. Thus noes ignorance indorse ignorance. As the bolsheviki have virtually surrendered to the kaiser the Chicago socialists may De classed as decidedly pro-Hun. Germany promised Switzerland free passage for grain ships, yet she deliberately violated her promise, and this too when Switzerland is feeding thousands of Germans who move across the border in order to get a square meal. It is this violated promise that makes Holland hesitate about sending grain-loaded ships from this country to supply her dire need. The Soviet has filed protest against the Allies Siberian policy, as the allies have adopted no policy as to that neck of the woods, other than to keep their hands off it so long as it is not in danger of falling into the hands of the Germans, it requires considerable perspicacity to discover wnai me soviet is iinamg iauit with. The Germans in the capture of Sebastopol just fell heir to the Russian Black sea fleet. However it will do them no good as they already have one fleet whose sole object is to remain bottled up. Heavy rains are reported in several places in the val ley. While the precipitation here was light it was none the less welcome, and it did much good, e A little more of the same kind however would be appreciated.

In the tmal outcome it is quite likely t hat repudiation of the home-owned debt will be one of the means of paying it, It is stated Germans from most of the Latin republics are gathering in Mexico and for the purpose of stirring that country up to making trouble ior the United States. This is probably true, and it shows how little the Prussian militarists who have been spreading German propaganda through the countries south of us, understand the Amer ican character. They fancy a row with Mexico just now would be a serious affair for us. Instead of this it would but furnish a training ground for our recruits. America wants no trouble with her neighbor, and has gone a long ways to avoid it. She will go still further to prevent an open rupture, but our neighbors do not want to become obsesessed with the idea that this is done through fear If it becomes necessary to have war with Mexico it will be a sad day for that country and a still sadder one for such Prussian militarists as are caught there. Conservation of clothing both wcol and cotton is just as important and as necessary as conservation of food stuffs. It is going to take an immense amount of wool to provide the soldier boys in France and we must help con serve at at home. The wearing of old clothes may soon become the fashionable thing. Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason SMALL BEGINNINGS Large oaks from little acorns grow, the wise man said, long, long ago. Oh, he had lived and loved and learned, and ere he to the dust returned, he summed up all the things he knew and he had learned a fact or two and sprung them in the form you know: "Large oaks from little acorns grow." One day the news from France was vile; the Teuts advanced, mile after mile: . j it seemed that they would win the scrap, aim oacK me allies ort tne map. And scores of men with arctic feet were standing on the village street: their whole annearance was a frost; they said that everything was lost. "The Teuts have won." thev said to me: "thVll march right onward to the sea. and erP t,hev atnn thpir sinful games they'll bombard Windsor and St. James. We mignt as well take in our sien. and snpnH the fnfnro shedding brine." I said to them, "Oh, morbid owls, cease putting up such doleful howls! There's nothing lost till Pershing wires that he has busted all his rirps " A fw brisk words I threw around, their pessimism to confound; 'twas all they needed, and they rose and bet ten bones we'd whip the foes. A few bright words in season sprung will oft relieve the withers wrune bv fear and hnnplpss. ness and woe; large oaks from little acorns grow. Apparently most of the candidates for office are united on one plank of their many platforms. It seems to be Unanimous that the life of the bootlegger is to be made one continuous round of trouble and that poor old Barley corn will be stabbed even by his recent friends.

Won't you come in? ' "No I -shall go directly to my room.,' ' I was embarrassed. I knew that Claude must have hea:d. But, more than that, I was frightened. George looked so storm, so almost angry. Was he provoked because Claude had called! Was he, could he be, jealous! Anyway, I was so uncomfortable, so ill at ease ,'hat Claude went almost immediately. I rau upstairs with a determination to have it over. I. was so frightened that I trembled, and could scarcely stand George was by the window looking over some papers. So stop Asking questions. Why wouldn 't you come in, George 1 I asked. "Because I didn't care to." "I thought maybe you were provok ed me." "What forf A guilty conscience" J.o. I thought perhaps you didn't like it because Mr. Huntington called.' "That whippersnipper- If you were entertained and admire his typo, why should I carer You certainly are old enough to know your own mind. Please don't ask me any more questions. I am busy. " ' "But, George, what made you look so cross!" "Eh" "What made vou look o cross when I asked you '.jo come in!" "Do stop asking questions! Will you never learn to give up that habit! You are a perfect question mark. And it is very annoying." I said no more. Anvwav, I had no rca son to be afraid. I smiled to myself a rather grim sort of smile as I thought I had imagined Georgo jealous. Ho did 11 t care enough to be jealous of me. Thinking of this brought M my mind that, in one way and another, it had been made clear to mo that he had spent a good deal of time with Julia Collins, of lato. If he wasn't jealous oi me, I was of him. And every time I spent a long, lonelv evening, I now won dered if he were with her. But tha. was one thing 1 dared not question hiai about. Try to be a Brave Woman Tlw next morning Evelyn came over, "I just met Julia Collins and she looked stunning," sho commenced. But for goodness' sake, Helen, I can't 8,26 why you are jealous of her. She is a good Jen years older than you are. (I - had confided my jealousy of the handsome widow to Kvelvn). I know, Evelvn.

I hate her, vet she fascin ates me. I can t help feeling that she is dangerous her beauty a) times is almost unearthly. "Diabolical, rather." "I believe she is in love with Georgo. I believe Mrs. Sexton thinks so, too Aud, Evelyn, she doesn't caro a straw that he has a wife." "Oh, pshaw, Helen! Don't be so silly. Why, Mr. Howard litis known her for years. If he had cared for her, ko would have married her." "That's just where you are mistaken He wouldn't! He wanted a wife he could make over to sui. him. Do you suppose k., or any other man, could make Mrs. Collins over, or make lier do anything she didn't want tof I be' lieve that is why she fascinates George. She must! Ho spends so much time with her." "Don't get unhappy. ovior her,Helen" Evelyn said, but 1 though., her eyes took on a sympathetic look. "Such wom en are never happy unless they have a man dangling after them. But Mr, Howard has too much aenso to leave a young and pretty wife, like you, for a woman older than he himself (and so much older than you), no matter how' fascinating she was! " 'But, Evelyn, I am so afraid he will. I can,, please him! He won't spend a'iy time withmc. It is tcrriblo to frel that he prefers her to me his own wife." "Now, Helen, stop right away.

If you ars accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gaa and aculs, you have a real surprise await ing you- " Tomorrow morning, immediately up on arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestono phos phate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and- thirty feet of intestines all tho indigestible waste, poisons, sour bilo and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purify ing the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, ars urged to get a quarter pound of lima- hetone phosphate from the drug atora and begin enjoying this morning in side bath. It is said that men and wo- mien who try this become enthusiastifl ana keep it up daily. It is a splendid health jneasnro for it is more import ant to keep clean and pure on the in side than on the outside, because tha kin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, whila the bowel pores do.

Opium, whether as laudanum, paregoric, or heroin, Is the essen tial Ingredient In many cough sy rups and soothing syrups. Cocaine Is a moat useful drug In producing anaesthesia, but it is also a most dangerous one, destroy ing nerve and will power. Coal tar preparations are nsed In enormous quantities to relieve headache; they are heart depress ants and have a decided element of danger In addition to the fas cination which their effect has upon many Individuals.

I would suggest that you take a warm bath every night before, going to bed, and then be carefully rubbed for half an hour; this would relieve you as much as anything I know, of. It would also be well to take! a dose of castor oil occasionally. E. N. Please state the symtomi that are associated with cancer of the stomach. AnswerIt would not be. possi ble.
