Reads the Papers.
Until 8:23 he reads the news-
papers and then he starts for head-
quarters.
He always enters his office as
the clock Is striking 8:30—exactly.
Before he hns arrived his orderly
has opened his office windows.
After awhile all but one of them
are closed but regardless of the
thermometer outBlde, the general’s
private office Is always about 20
degrees colder than any of the
other offices In the building,
lie Doesn't Have Colds.
This has been a vile winter in
the war zone—snows and thaws
and freezes and rains—and nearly
everybody has barked his head off
nt times—everybody except the
general. He doesn't have colds
and such.
One day he came to his office
and found nearly everybody there
half sick from colds. So he gave
them a talk on how to keep well.
‘I'f you gentlemen," lie said,
“would prance around In your
shlrttails or take some old-fashioned
setting up exrclses in the fresh air
every morning you wouldn't be
having these colds. It's been my
• secret for good health all my life."
“Cool Air Is I’epful.”
Explaining his reasons for keep
GET THAT COLD

Stop That Cough! Check That
Grippe! Use Dr. King's New
Discovery.
Millions of people have found In
this nation-wide standard remedy
a long-sought effective means of
relieving coughs, colds and grippe
without Inconvenient after-effects.
For fifty years It has sold for
fifty cents a bottle. For fifty
years It hns warded off the dangers
of neglected colds, unchecked
coughs. For fifty years it has
stopped Impending colds before they
had a chance to develop. Equally
effective for grlppy adults and
croupy children. A bottle in your
medicine cabinet Is the best known
safeguard against cold and cough
dangers. Sold by druggists every-
where.
lng his office cold he eaye:
“A warm office always makes
me drowsy and when I'm that way
I don’t think clearly. Cold air Is
Invigorating and pepful.-”
The general goes home to lunch
every day at 1 and usually there
are one or more guests at his
table—American officers passing
thru the headquarters town, high
French officials or distinguished
American civilians.
But the general Is back at his
office at 2 and from then until
6:30 it’s solid work. When he
goes home to supper, which is
served at 7, he takes a bundle of
work with him and goes thru It
later In the evening.
He Hides Horseback.
The general has no relaxations
except horseback riding when the
weather will permit. He loves
music but musicians are few and
far between around his house.
He takes a deep Interest In reli-
gion nnd there’s hardly a day that
ho does not discuss some plan for
tho moral betterment of his troops.
He's a strong supporter of the Y.
M. C. A., tho Red Cross, the
Knights of Columbus and other
organizations that work among the
soldiers.
He neither smokes, drinks nor
chews. Thru sheer will power he
has also cut out swearing. In the
early days there was rarely a
commander-in-chief who didn’t use
Just a few cuss words once In a
while.
Cursed and Apologized.
But every time General 1’ershlng
cussed, years ago, he used to
apologize for It.
At least twice a week tho gen-
eral writes long, fatherly letters
to Ills little son, Warren, now 9.
Little Warren Is ull the general
has left. The terrible tragedy of
1915, when Mrs. Pershing and three
little daughters were burned to
death in the flro at the Presidio
at San Francisco, Is still fresh In
the public mind.
That event has saddened the
general's lifo and has made him
even more grave than he was be-
fore. The least reference to it still
upsets him and tho sight of little
French children In the presence of
their mother has been known to
cause him to choke up and hastily
leave the room.

add 1,250,000 pounds capacity dally.
Our actual output today Is between
four and five times as much as
we were supplying our allies In the
year before wo entered the war.
As supporting Industries for the
explosive factories, great chemical
plants have been developed. About
$30,000,000 has been spent on each
ow two plants for producing am-
monias and nitrates. The fixation
of nitrogen from the air has be-
come a reality In this country,
with the result that we are no
longer wholly dependent upon Im-
ports from Chile. This nitrogen
producing capacity Is to be so de-
veloped that we will be Independ-
ent of outside sources, as Germany
herself Is.
In addition to small arms and
artillery ammunition, the ordnance
bureau also is providing bombs to
be dropped from our aeroplanes In
their raids over Germany. It la
a matter of record that on these
aeroplane bombs alone we are
spending more than $300,000,000.
U. ft. Powder for Allies.
Our prugiam for powder produc-
tion In this country anticipates
not only a capacity sufficient for
supplying our own needs, but for
supplying our allies also. For
most part the raw materials for all
powder manufactured In France
and England have to be imported.
It requires about 11 tons of raw
materials to produce one ton of
powder.
By manufacturing the powder
supply for all the allies, In the tT.
S. where the raw materials are
available, the tonnage required to
handle the supplies for the allies
will he reduced nine-tenths.
Where the armies of Europe
have rolled largely on the bayonet
and hand bombs or grenades, we
are still counting on onr soldiers
to do most of their work with the
rifle. Here's why.
Europeans Poor Marksmen.
The soldiers of European armies,
despite their perfection In drill and
tactical maneuvers, are mighty
ordinary marksmen. The German
army, for Instance, tho disciplined
and drilled to the minute, had little
target practice In the years before
Less than $1 per man
with firearms and a high percent-
age of them are good shots. They
develop a "sense" of aim and range
largely lacking with Europeans.
This "sense" Is now being perfect-
ed on tho rlflo range sat the
training camps where the billion
rounds of reserve ammunition Is
being used In target practice.
The result Is expected to bo that
the American forces In Francs will
be able to do more effective work
with the rifle than any body of
soldiers now in Europe, with the
possible exception of the Canadlans|
It was the Canadians' markman-
ship, incidentally, that made pos-
sible their successful stand at the
second battle of Ypres, against
overwhelming odds.
It's Pershing's Plan.
General Pershing himself has
Insisted that this ability to uso the
rifle be developed to the utmost
In all American troops sent abroad.
Instead of paslng to hurl a hand
grenade at any enemy In sight, he
expects his men to be able to put a
bullet thru him at twice or thrice
the distance a grenade could be
hurled.
As superior American marksman*
ship has given us the advantage In
every war In which we have en-
gaged, It Is expected to do the
same In this, our greatest war.
The American typo of cartridge Is
much more powerful than that of
British, French or German. It Is
rimless, reducing Jamming to a
minimum, nnd the gun from which
It Is fired Is considered the most
dependable of any army rifle, being
the only army gun that has been
modified to meet conditions that
have developed In the present war.

New York, March 9—The gov-

Upon being refused, she asked

My Papa Owns Our Home
A little blue-eyed girl proudly proclaimed to her schoolmates, and immediately one
or two others shouted Mine Does Too!
Several hang their heads and say nothing.
Which Will Your Child Do?
This is a more important question than you imagine.
Children are quicker to notice a great many tilings than arc grown-ups. A child s
instinct is a wonderful sense.
The child whose parents rent soon realizes the fact and never feels herself the equal
of 'her classmates whose parents own Gheir home.
The boy or girl whose parents rent and consequently move quite frequently never
feel that they really have a home. Just when they have made friends in the
neighborhood the landlord raises the rent or sell-' the house and the family
must move.
The playmates in the new location may not be so desirable. The boy or girl must
be “broken in” at a new school, perhaps in the middle of the term. 'J be
child of the man who rents is always at a disadvantage.
The man who owns his own home sets an example that his children follow when
they are grown up.
Father always owned the house we lived in, says the young bride when her hus-
band asks, “Shall we rent or buy?”
Ask yourself this same question, look at it through the kiddies’ eyes. That will
help you to answer more easily.
