The War
Savings
Plan
'
Is a plan by which you invest
your small savings with the
United States Government
You do it by buying War Sav-
ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
A War Savings Stamp cost
$4.12 in January, and to this
price is added one cent for each
month since January. The one
cent advance each month is to al-
low for interest the stamp earns.
These stamps as bought are pasted in
a War Savings Certificate, which is a
folder with 16 spaces for the Stamps.
When these 16 spaces are filled put the
Certificate away; it is worth $100, pay-
able Jan. 1, 1923. Then start another.
A United States Thrift Stamp is for in-
vestors who want to save but find the
War Savings Stamp more than they can
spare at one time. The U. S. Thrift
Stamp costs 25 cents; you get a Thrift
Card from the postoffice or bank, or
other authorized agency; no charge
for the card. There are 16 spaces on
this Card; a place for each 25-cent
Thrift Stamp you buy. Sixteen of
them make $4. When the card is full*
take it to the postoffice, or bank, or
other agency and get a War Savings
Stamp; you’ll pay the difference, 12
cents for January and one cent more
each month during 1918. Paste the
War Savings Stamp on the Certificate
Card you get with it, and start a new
25-cent Thrift Card. The U. S. Thrift
Stamps do not bear interest; the War
Savings Stamps do—4 per cent, com-
pounded every three months. The in-
terest is in the convenient form of a
monthly increase in the face value of
the Stamps. The Stamps are redeem-
able at their full value, $5, on January
1st, 1923.
If you need to draw out the money you
have saved (don’t do it if you don’t
have to) go to the postoffice and they
will tell you what to do, and what the
exact value of your investment is on
that date, and give you the money.

WOUNDS OF HEAD NEED REST
Special Care Given to injured Soldiere
Obvlatee Epllepey and Insanity-
Many Recover.
Experience in this war has
brought about a radical change in
the treatment of wounds of the head.
It is now realized that these are not
usually cases requiring immediate
surgery, unless there be extensive
hemorrhage, and these are practical-
ly hopeless.
Special hospitals for head cases
have now been established. The
Journal of the American Medical
Association says the standard treat-
ment consists of a "primary cleans-
ing of the wound, the transmission
of the patient as soon as possible to
the hospital in which he will re-
main until convalescent, the making
of Roentgengrams, the eicision of
the scalp and bone wound, a careful
removal of foreign bodies, the cov-
ering of the exposed brain, the
closure of the wound and prolonged
rest in bed.
Dr. Q. H. Making reports to the
British Medical Journal that the
mortality of these cases is small, that
complications, such as epilepsy and
insanity, are rare and that many pa-
tients with foreign bodies deeply
lodged in the brain recover.
BEAR NOT REALLY BLUE.
' Contrary to a belief populai
iamong big-game hunters that the
[blue glacier bear of Alaska if of a
'distinct species, A1 Hasselborg, who,
jwith Dr. Harry S. Worth, curator of
[mammals at the University of Cali-
fornia, has made a special study of
these animals, asserts that the great,
[morose haunter of the ios rivers is
!no more than a color phase of the
[commcn black hear. Mr. Hassel-
[borg, who has been studying Alaskan
[bear for nearly twenty years, is re-
jgarded as ope of the bost-posted men
jin the territory on the animals.

“SYNTHETIC MILK.1*
A member of an English society of
hiedical officers of health claims to
have discovered, after a lengthy
period of careful experiment, a satis-
factory substitute for cow’s milk. He
has produced a powder called "syn-
thetic milk improver.” Mixed with
water and boiled* it is added to cow’i
milk in equal proportions, and the
result is chimed to be a rich liquid
scarcely distinguishable from new
milk. The cost of the synthetic ar-
ticle is about one penny per pint

“Don’t you believe that marriage
broadens a man ?”
“Perhaps it does, but it usually
makes him shorter.”

TERRIBLYJWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Tortarc
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, ot
Biss place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he In
(tired himself with s piece of heavy ma-
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
•osore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and lell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
Uke he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black
Draught. I made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief an
began to mend at once. He got wel
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you
to keep fit, ready for the day's work.

USE GOOD PAINT-
When You Clean Up and Paint Up
Painting is an economy—the better the paint, and
its proper application, and the more promptly it is
used on places needing paint, the greater the econ-
omy. The annual loss through the lack of painting
is greater than the annual loss by fire.
Our Paint Department is completely equipped
with the best Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Enamels, Stains,
Brushes, etc. Lay plans now for the big Clean Up
and Paint Up Job.
