THE COST
First Year War Expenditure $17,
500,000,000; Second Year $28,
000,000,000 (Wall Street Journal)
Total military expenditures of all
the belligerent Nations in the first
year of war was $17,500,000,000 and
in the second year to August 1, 1916,
will be $28,000,000,000, according to
figures compiled by the Mechanics &
Metals National Bank. For every
month over which hostilities are pro
longed there is expended a sum of ap
proximately $2,750,000,000, accord
ing to the bank, which says, "the ef
fect of the consequent enormous de
mand for capital, to be consumed
without economic profit, is a matter
of vital concern to the American peo
ple, as well as to the people of the
Nations engaged in the present con
flict. "Not only because of its effect upotn
the purchasing power of Europe
when peace returns is the war a mat
ter of interest, but also because of its
share in determining the price that
the world's available supply of capital
will command, eventually, and be
cause of its share in determining the
relative position of the world's finan
cial markets. The war, then, is of
importance to the United States, eco
nomically, for these reasons:
"1. The degree of strain that it
imposes upon the resources of each of
the combatants. 2. The possible
permanent effect upon the world's
price of capital. di .The opportunity
offered for favorable investment of
Americam capital in foreign securities
4. The opportunity offeffrffed for
widening America's influence, finan
cially and commercially.
"If the war cost $45,000,000,000,
it will represent a sum three times
greater than the entire capitalization
of the railways of the United States,
and four times greater than the total
deposits of all our National banks.
It will represent a sum six times
greater than that expended in our
Civil War. It will represent forty
times the amount of the present Na
tional debt of the United States, 120
times the cost of the Panama Canal,
500 times the amount vof the annual
American gold output. Direct cost of
the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870-71
was not greatly in excess of $3,000,
000,000. Direct cost of the Russo
Japanese War was $2,500,000,000, of
the South African War $1,250,000,
000, "Advances, or loans, by the strong
Powers to the weaker belligerents
and to neutrals, have been well up to
$3,500,000,000. Figures from Eng
lish sources indicate that Russia has
in this manner received $1,125,000,
000. Italy $675,000,000, Belgium and
Serbia $875,000,000. Turkey and
Bulgaria has received perhaps $700,
000,000. Great Britain's special loans
to her Allies and to neutrals will have
been approximately $2,375,000,000
by August 1, accorditng to figures pre
pared in England.
The Busy Town
(Gastonia Gazette)
With three cotton mill buildings
to go up at otnee together with the
.tenant houses and other structures
that go with them, a seven-story bank
building, two new $25,000 school
houses and scores of residences in
course of construction. Gastonia, it
can be truthfully said, is a "busy
town;" or city if you please to call
it such.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Surl News Notes
(Correspondence Public Ledger)
Last week we had frost and some
of us were wearing overcoats, but
.this week are sweltering and wear
ing straw hats. Good straw hats are
in demeand in this section, and as we
do not see any advertised in the Pub
lic Ledger the people get them in
Durham. Hello, here, our merchants
have as good hats as you will find
anywhere, but they are slow to ad
vertise. Editor.
There is right much building go
ing on in this, section.
The farmers have planted right
much corn. Don't forget to plant
that mellon patch, as it will come in
mighty nice about the first of August.
There have been a great many
"blind robbins" sold in this section
and they are very nice with a slice:
of bacon.
There is a decided scarcity of to
bacco plants in this section. The far
mers will have to divide with each
other. They will do that cheerfully,
no doubt. There will not be more
than two-thrids of a crop planted
here this year.
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose a Day's
Work.
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes in
to contact with sour bile it crashes in
to it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a 50 cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute fcf
dangerous calomel. Take a spoon
ful and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.
J. G. Hall recommends Dodson's
Liver Tone to take the place of calo
mel, adv.

OXFORD ASTONISHED BY SIMPLE
MIXTURE
Oxford people are astonished at
the INSTANT action of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL, re
moves such surprising foul matter it
relieves almost ANY CASE constipa
tion, sour stomach or gas. Because
Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and
upper bowel, a few doses often re
lieve or prevent appendicitis. A
short treatment helps chronic stom
ach trouble. J. G. Hall, druggist, ad
