E. I Whs 571,178, Valued at JM 14.7!)t,." The Sam ioinjH'rs of Cauiji tioi'don. The following facts compiled' by the Literary Digest fcives some idea of the number and cost of mules sup plied the A. E. F. Without them some of the feats of the American army would hnve been impossible. There were no trotters of the Maud S. class discovered in the horses bought for cannon fodder, but there were some surprises among the mules. At Camp Travis there is one now, a big piebald jack that would be a prize for any circus. Nobody can ride him and everybody can teach him tricks. He is said to make an at tempt to give a salute with a sardonic grin and a bow every time he meets an officer and to let out a contemptu ous BTtiawk when he Is ignored. He works on occasion, but never In harn ess with a mate, and Is ready to box without gloves any man or mule at any time. Camp Gordon has a mule that knows all the bugle-calls, but pays attention to one only. The reveille may sound, the assembly, the mess, tais, or retreat, but all fall on his wagKing ears unnoticed. But let this so culled stupid brute at work any where within reach of a wireless note of the bugler Bounding "recall." there Is a holt for the stable that often leavts the driver behind on the ground and a spurt in hieh gear over the roads on the camp. The men call this mule Sam Gompers, not out of dlsrepect for the champion of labor, I but in compliment to the mule, be cause he knows how long a day's work ought to be. Then there Is the ice-wagon mule, so called because he noeds no driver to start or stop him when the daily mule rations are to be dumped along the row of their feed-boxes. Some figures are furnished as to the strength of the army of mules that did their bit for the safety of the well-known democracy. Th total number was 124,187. Including thos in France and In the camps In this country. Further: There were 20,644 members serv ing under the colors In this country and the Philippines when the war broke out. This is exclusive of 6.9S9 of his short ribbed brother known as the park-mule. The draft brought in 7. 444 more of th big fellows for service overseas, but bad shippin facilities disappointed all but 975 of the little fellows, which were squeez ed aboard. Thus 29.063 native-born long-eared and geared self-starters for all sorts of things saw duty with the A. E. F., with a mortality of about five thousand. But this does not begin to tell the tale of the heroism of the mule, for eign and domestic. Mules from France to the number of 9,341, with 6.777 from England and 12.941 from Spain, kicked freedom under the Stars and Stripes, because it was cheaper to let them kick over there than to give up more money ti in dulge the propensities of our home grown stock and par their way across. In this way 29,063 allied and neutral mules served alongside the 29.910 free-born hybrids on the fields of France, making 58,973 of the stubborn breed who did not look for greener graves. The total number of animals sup plied to and bought for the A. E. F., including 89,672 on hand at the start, was 571.178. valued at 1144.794,652. an average value of $253. It was a great work to supply this beast-power to the army within a few months, and about as hard a task to demobilize the four-legged troops to conserve the Interest of the service and save aa much of the public money Invested In the animals to be sold In the Uni ted States, which amounts to $11, 508. 3R9: the horses being worth $81, 654.254 and the mules $33,851,136. The animsts In France and to be sold there number 121.465 horses and 56,- 207 mules. Fate and laziness are twin brothers. J '! D EVANGELINE COOTH TELLS HOME SERVICE FUND'S NEEDS. Evangeline Booth, (ommntuler of the Salvation Army In the United States, explaining the purpose of the cam paign for $13,(KH),XM) which will be conducted from May 19 to May 'JO for the Salvation Army Home Service Fund, said: "The Salvation Army has been toll ing on the upward trend for more than half a century, doing Just what It did In France, all In the same spirit and manner, but you did not huppen to hear of It, perhaps. "The war depleted our forces nnd our finances at home. There must be not only a rehabilitation now, but we must rise to the new high-tide mark and equip ourselves to maintain here In the United States the contracts we were privileged to make on both sides of the sea because of the war." The Salvation Army Home Service Fund campaign for $13,000,000 will he conducted during the week of May 19 26. Its success will enable the Salva tion Army to practically double its efforts among the poor. GRADUATION GIFTS. Do not forget to remem ber the Boy or Girl on Graduation Day.

It you get headaches, It's your liver. If you catch cold easily, It's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be comes rancid, it's your Mver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanllness. Tour liver la the most important, also till must abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which Is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can. only be usod occasionally because It accumulatea In the tissues, sJsn attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick of well, .should drink each morning be fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with ft Uaspoonful of limestone phos phate In it, to wuh from the liver and bowels the previous day's Indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before patting more food Into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not' re strict the diet Ifke calomel, because it can cot salivate, for It is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a Jem onst ration of bow hot water and lime stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and frosdens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day la aad ftiy out.
