The Terms of the Liberty Loan The act authorizing the Liberty Loan Bond of 1917 was passed April 24, 1917. It provides for the issuance of 85,000,000,000 of 31, per cent bonds, trie interest payable semiannually on' December 15 and June 15 of each year. The principal is repayable on or after the 15th day of June, 1932, at the op- j .tion of the Government, and if this op tion is ngt exercised the bonds will run full 30 years and become due June 15, 1947. The bonds are exempt both as to Tirinz-inal on. I intimat tVrv, nil I xion. national. State, countv. or munic- pal, except the inheritance tax, which' j:eil!y not a tax on the property,1 t on the transfer of DroDertv bvi will or inheritance. The bonds are to be sold at par;' that is, dollar for dollar, no premium and io discount. They are to be sold fcy the Treasurer of the United States and by all Federal Reserve banks. But all banks, National and State, post offices, and express companies have been designated as agents of the Government to receive applications for these bonds. It is almost as easy to purchase one of these bonds as it is to get a post office money order. It is not necessary to pay cash in full for a bond. One can pay down 2 per cent of the purchase price on application that is, $1 for a $50 bond, $2 for a $100 bond, etc. 18 per cent on July 25, 1917; 20 per cent; July 30, 11U7; 30 per cent August lo,j 1917; and the balance, 30 per cent,' August 30, 1917.

There can be no effective war time economy unless the housewife knows how to distinguish between the differ ent classes and grades of foods She must know which foods contain pro tein, which builds and repairs tissue. Protein is found in the white or albu men of eggs, the curd or casein of milk, in the lean portion of meat, and in the gluten or bread The fats also serve as fuel. They yield energy in the form of heat or muscular power. The fats are also stored up in the body. They are easily distinguished from all other foods, as the fat of meat, butter, olive oil, the on or corn, etc. ine carbohydrates, such as sugar and starch, also provide a form of fuel, mineral matter or ash is also required by the body to form bone and to assist in digestion. Phosphates of lime, pot ash and soda are essential to the good health of the body. The fuel value of food is expressed in terms of heat units or calories. A calorie is the quantity of heat re quired to raise the temperature of one pint of water through 4 degrees F. It is also denned as the amount of heat required to raise two teaspoonfuls of water from the freezing to the boiling point. It is not possible to estimate any food correctly without some knowledge ot its value in calories. Perhaps the first lesson for the eco nomical housewife to study is that re lating to the composition of bread and cereals. Uncle Sam-has himself provided just such a lesson in the famous Yangwor thy charts, which are easily under stood. CliildieiiACrY FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA ROYSTaERI THE ASHEBORO COURIER JAM US H. PUI PRESENTS THE WAR ISSUES Consequences ut' Defeat Make Teu tons Answer for Crimes Must Not Criticise. James H. Pou so powerfully presen ed tae issues or war in a speech at Wilson recently that we publish it here for thi benefit of our readers: "America stands at Armageddon and is battling for the Uord," said Mr. Pou. Whichever side wins this war will rule the world. And except in the phvs ical sense the world will never be the same again." Of the consequences of defeat he spoke with a conviction which his pas sion for European politics has forced upon mm since he ceased to think in North Carolina terms. That defeat Mr. Pou declared, would enthrone the leuto-lurkish allies. "Tnat would b a triumph for everything bad in gov ernment, a reversion to the morality of mediaeval times, a setback for 1,000 years. It .would mean government by force and we would take our law3 from Berlin. "Another consequence might be a draw, neither side winning. You may think things are now inconvenient, taxes high, bridges guarded, powei plants watched. We shall see, if this is a drawn battle, the whole world arm and be lady to fight the thing over. While living in peace it would be a nightmare. In every family would be a soldier, spies everywhere, no confi dence in peace, military establish ments a universal burden, diplomacy insincere, conscription, censorship, re striction of our liberties. Make Teutons Answer for Crimes "There is a third possible conse quence and that an allied victory In that event we should hrincr fhe Tnrkn- Teutonic powers into the courts of civ-! ilization and make them answer fori their crimes against the world. A union of all free peoples would sit around the council tables in something like a court of international arbitra tion. A better understanding every where would result. Democracy and liberty would become the watchwords of the world. A political milennium would come. Despotism and feudalism would be overthrown all causes of in ternation misunderstanding would be removed. We could deal candidly with our allies. With Japan around this ta ble we could say. What is there to keep us from being friends? There is room enough for us in the world. Everything demands, not the partial, but the com plete victory of the lo civilized nations making war against the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns that the world may be cleared of their infamous spawn and liberty be given for the first time: to the German people." Mr. Pou is on the food Conservation i commission but he could not repress j the accent on the moral starvation; which a Teutonized world wouid In flict. He came to detail North Caro-I Una's part. "We have no pacifists,! religious, pseudo-religious, subsidized, , or syndicated," he said, in narrating a few of the Carolina blessings at this time. "We have no domestic troubles, no hostile foreign poulation. There are 1 no socialists in the ordinary acceptance! of that term. We have no anarchists,1 no munitions plants and no strategic points of such value as to invite ue-j struction by explosion or other hostile attacks. - , Negroes Are Loyal j "The only people who are not homo- j geneous are the negro population, and. they are loyal and faithful. This race ' has its faults, grievous ones, but It t never treacherous. It has produced many like Crispus Attucks but none like Benedict Arnold; it has produced countless thousands like the lowly Si mon of Cyrene, but never a Judas Is cariot "I spoke of the possibility of defeat. Do not think for a moment that 1 ex pect it. I believe that William of Ho- henzollern has one more lesson to learn. And that is this: 'There are battles with fate which never can be won.' " 'The Star Spangled Banner can never be furled, for its blossoms of light are the hope of the world.' "There are just three requests to be made of the people of North Carolina. They are simple and earnest. The first is that we take care to produce and save what food . we shall need next year. The second is more an oppor tunity than a request. We are asked to participate in raising money for this war. Are we asked to sacrifice ? If a single dollar of these bonds goes to de fault, I would not give six cents on the dollar for any piece of property in Wit son. They are better than gold. A gold dollar never grows any bigger. The bond does. "The government does not want the people to get excited. It does not want money taken out of general circulation or to cripple business by withdrawing funds now actually engaged in busi ness. A loan called from a man en gaged in manufacturing and farming for conversion into war bonds doea harm rather than good. Promises Miser Immunity "The government wants inactive and idle money. If this money be placed in bonds it helps. It comes from hiding places and is immediately loosed into trade. "Now. if you undertake to get this money from hiding, there will be enough to make up what is expected of this country. Suppose you tip off these hoarders. Let them know that under this new law, section 36, they are lia ble to a fine of $10 on every $100 hid den; that they are assessed for five years 25 per cent of the taxes; that a fine of not less than $50 or more than m nrnffTT miiT Imat (Ul ltkt Sou.

They may not only be citizens "f the United States, but stockholders as well." Has Its Compensations Mr. Pou then spoke of the solemnity or the issue. To him it had already come, his boy had gone. He would not minimize the hardships or the risks. "But there are consecrations," he said. "First is the consciousness of a duty performed a duty discharged in the greatest crisis since Cavalry. The op portunity to be a man is a great com pensation," he thought. "There are compensations grosser. The men who go to this war will rule this nation. Has any man here ever heard any ?oldier w.ho went to the Civil War on either side regret it, if he didn't desert? I never have. These men have ruled North Carolina and the United State3 as long as they were in active life. "Let me speak of things even gross er. We were beaten. Yet those who went to the army have been given the picked places in the North and the South. Neither received the whole hearted support of the nation. But those who now go will have the grati tude of the greatest republic, the rich est nation in the world. Their position will be underwritten by the United States and guaranteed by the civiliza tion of the world. Must Not Criticise "We must stop our criticism." con -It, tinued Mr. Pou. "It is one of the evils greatest American naval hero devet-'r'Ji of American life.

Yet, to have made that defense would have been playing into the enemy s hands President Da' vlt-had the wisdom despite the driving of Benjamin from office in disgrace to appoint him secretary of state three weeks later. We must know the facts before we criticise." Mr. Pou wished the country had gone to war two years ago but he knew the years would be just to tne man "who walked in the way of Christian civilization." He drew a picture of the two remaining nations whose object of worship is the god of war. "Look at the House or Hohenzollerns, ne said "For 1,000 years there has been but one of them who did not bring war, for ten centuries only one who went to the judgment bar of God without blood on his hands. He was Frederick, the father of the present criminal. "It is almost the same of the Haps burgs. For nearly 600 years only one of that family has failed to make war and that one a woman, Maria Theresa, who had war forced on her. , Chance For the Failures Mr. Pou calleed finally upon all young men to consecrate themselves anew. He said that on every country mile road is some boy who gives little or no promise, on every city block is one called a failure. Here is their new chance. He illustrated his point from the lives of Grant and Sherman, West Pointers, failures, drinking men and unfit. Grant got a job in the basement of a building during the war. He copied rolls, nobody wanted to see him in a public place. But finally he was used to drill raw recruits. In eight years from that discovery of himself in 1861'ne had emerged rrom a sue cessful war and became President of the United States. Sherman psychologically showed less. He started a bank and it busted; then a commission house and it failed; then a law oflice was opened and his clients failed; then to school teaching. And under Grant he became commander-in-chief of all the national armies. "Let us make this war an occasion for self-dedication. said Mr. Pou nally. "Let us agree here and now that so'Y long as tnis war lasi we win: "Do willingly and promptly whatso ever our government shall ask us to do, ... "That we shall say nothing and do nothing that can give aid and comfort to the enemy "That so long as the war lasts we shall make no criticism or condemna tion of it unless we have knowledge of the facts. -'That no person dependent upon a soldier shall suffer in his absence. "That no soldier who shall return with an honorable discharge shall be without a' job so long as we have a job to give any one. "That in all things where other con siderations are even, . the preference shall be given to the man who went to the front. One thing about this glo rious democracy is its equality. There are no substitutes, no 20-years-olds hirelings, no sneaks. It bears upon every personkhe same and the same obligation is oWn to all. "God grant iat in this great crisis testing men's sbuh, the dross may be separated front the pure metal, the wheat from the tha.T and thatlno mnn in North Carolink wil show the white feather or the yellow streak."

Dewey's Judgment of Daniels j The late Admiral Dewey was the : nusoaim ieu ior me present Secretary ot the Navy, Hon Josephus Daniels, a sincere affection. Only a short time ago the Admiral I said: '1 have been in the navy 6J years, and have served under many: The Reily-Tkylor Com Secretaries of the Navy, but Secretary ''ft Daniels is the best Secretary we have,Jh'w ever had, and has done more for the Ith''? navy than any other. 1 am amazed I n"ii by his knowledge of technical matters.! V" J me has studied protundly, and his; opinion is founded on close observa- tion. The immediate future may apply a sever test to the efficient readiness of the American navy. Cleared fur ac tion, raining its guns upon the ene my, the battle line of the Atlantic fleet may demonstrate what many men now believe, that we have the great est navy in the world, ship for ship, gun for gun, and man for man. It is a splendid thing for the nation to have confidence in its chief fighting arm in such a crisis as now exists, and for tunate, therefore, that this confidence should be strengthened by the word of its most trusted navy man.

It should then be taken out and hung up in the smokehouse for smoking. Some people practice letting the meat hang begins to show siirn of mould or busrs. the advantage of causing the meat to dry out so that it becomes very hard after a few months. Bugs can be kept out by carefully wrapping the meat'. , ' after it is smoked in cloth painted nt-t ' '.fy : , , ,', : '' vent the meat from moulding beneath. Some make a practice of burning sul-. phur in the smokehouse during the summer. This will kill everything but might cause a slight flavor to the meat. The easiest way to prevent mould in meat an dto keep bugs of all Kinds awav IS to Daint tne meat w th nl liquid smoke preparation. This is not recommended by the Federal govern ment, and the sale of meat so treated is prohibited between the states. Even though this method is not the most healthful, it is the most successful for keeping down mould and insect pests ot the family meat supply. Meat treated with sulphur fumes would also be prohibited in interstate commerce. Stomach Troubles and Constipation "I will cheerfully say that Chamber Iain's Tablets are the most satisfacto ry remedy for stomach troubles and constipation that I have sold in thirtv- fi-.'four years' drug store service," writes . a.

As will be noticed the difference is very marked between the first born and all the later children, while the difference is less between each of the succeeding orders. The reason for this variation is obscure, especially so since still-births are more frequent and in fant mortality is also greater among the first born than among the later children. It has been suggested that this greater early mortality is due to the youth and inexperience of the parents; and the further suggestion is offered that in this way the weak and unfit among the first are eliminated early, thus giving the survivors a better prospect of long life. This suggestion is not satisfactory but we have roth ing better to offer. J. B. B. 4. , k
