Godfrey, an \structor in the United States Military cademy, when the engineers visited West Point recently. "While you may be interested to see how the nation trains Its future of ficers," said the army officer, "It is im portant for you to realize that in a odern war the work of the army Is iut a small part of the nation's task. War to-day is largely a series of en gineering operations; the problems of equipping ana army with offensive and defensive weapons, of transporting it rapidly from place to place, of keep ing it properly supplied with food and ammunition—such engineering prob lems are no less important than the task of manoeuvring the battalions of the firing line. War is the business of She whole nation, its financiers, its business men, perhaps most of all, Its engineers. The first sneeze is the danger signal.

We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which Is absorbed Into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acitl from the blood and cast It out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly ''old weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and Bluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circu iting through the system, eventually ■Uuttling in tho joints and muscles caus rtr.x stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon . ful in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a | week. This is said to eliminate uric' I acid by stimulating the kldnevs to I normal action, thus ridding the 'blood ■of these impgrities.

Is Made Void Through Peculiar System of Cen soring Press Matter Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 21.—Ac- I cording to statmems made to the cor respondent before his departure from Berlin with former Ambassador Ger- I ard by public men in Germany, the German government did not wake un til long after the beginning of the war to the desirability of ipuklng a favor able impression on public opinion in neutral countries, or at least of having its side of the case given a hearing in the neutral press. An outlay of untold hundreds of thousands of marks has since been made, with the employment of not. inconsiderable staffs of officers and men and with constantly changing systems, in the effort to achieve the desired ends. Correspondents from neutral coun tries have experienced constant diffi culty since the beginning of the war in attempting to report facts In an un biased manner. In the thirtieth month of the war Germany applied the same newspaper methods to American, Dutch, Scandinavian and Spanish newspapermen as in the first months. The censorship has been the main source of trouble, largely because it has been working at cross purposes, with the very officials who have had it in their power to adjust the difficul ties. These afficials usually have rec ognized faults which have been point ed out and have made the most earn est efforts to facilitate the gathering of news, out nevir ■ terlally the censorship system which set at naught all they and the corre spondents did, effectually damming up the streams of news which had been opened. Shortly after the outbreak of the war the foreign office mobilized con suls who supposedly were familiar with foreign languages and installed them as censors. In reality, .few of them are well versed in any language except German. None of them has any conception of newspaper work or any military or political knowledge which gives especial qualification for the task. The correspondents speedily came into conflict with these censors and the government, discovering something was amiss, attempted to remedy the trouble. However, its ef forts consisted of opening up addi tional channels of news which the cen sors stopped. Foreign News Service The foreign office created the so csflled central bureau for foreign serv ice, which flooded neutral countries with photographs and with literature written from the German standpoint, mererly translated into Dutch, Swed ish or Rumanian. This literature dam aged rather than assisted the German cause, in Holland, for instance. It was amended when Dutch correspondents told the foreign office that Holland desired real news. The constantly increasing number of correspondents in Germany, all seeking an opportunity to see some thing of the war and to obtain news, led to the establishment of w r hat was known as the Neutral Press Breau. Theoretically, the bureau was headed by Major Deutelmoser, a man well qualified for the position, but he was so occupied with other things that he relegated this work to a subordinate. This bureau existed from October, 1915, until last summer. Under its auspices correspondents traveled to various fronts, submitting all dispatch es for censorship. It became apparent quickly that the bureau was at odds with the foreign office. It sought to extend its juristlction so as to censor everything written, and while its cen sors clashed with those In the foreign office the correspondents got the worst of things. As the weeks passed, the newspa permen found it almost Impossible to write of the interesting things they saw. Furthermore, the tendency of the bureau was to send them to points on the front where they saw little of Importance. Everything they did write was censored, in each instance accord ing to the individual ideas of the man to whom the dispatch was referred. Correspondents of whatever national ity were not disposed to ijrotest at suppression of military Information, but they did insist that some degree of fairness be applied to their dis patches. Bureau Not a Sueeess The government eventually discov ered that the bureau was not a success under Major Deutelnioser's subordi nate, and also that its own press bu reau for German newspapers was not operating as it should. In conSequence there followed a reorganization of the entire press system. The men from the foreign office were displaced, although the old cen sors were retained. The Neutral Press Bureau was shelved, except for- the old censors. There was created/a so called military department at tne for eigA office, under Colonel von Haer ten, a keen, wide-awake man, and Bar on Plettenberg, both of whom have an understanding of foreign view points. They were ruled by the con viction that neutral correspondents themselves were the best judges of what they desired. Colonel von llaerten provided facili- Paint Without Oil Remarkable Discovery That Cuts Down the Cost of Paint Seventy-Five Per Cent. A Free Trial Faekage In Mailed to Everyone Who Write*. A. L.

He was able to send correspond ents to active points on the front. Nevertheless ho or those above him retained the same censors, who up to the present have acted in an arbitrary manner, inexplicable to neutrals. For example, they frequently held ba<*k the very information which had been furnished by the military de partment itself, and refused to pass apparently innocent news items pub lished in the German press, which were picked up and telegraphed from Holland, Denmark or Switzerland. Jn some cases one correspondent's dis patch on a given subject would be par.sed while an identical article from another would be held up. The military succeeded in having an order Issued on all fronts that corre spondents were to be shown every thing there was to be seen and that all possible courtesies were to be ex tended to them, but the censors were then permitted to blue pencil the re sultant dispatches. On the first trip arranged by the department two American newspapermen (lew over the entire Somme sector in an airplane, In accordance with the order to show correspondents everything possible. Air Battle Story Suppressed Their report of the battle seen from the air was suppressed. The airplane staff was brought, up on the carpet and all but cashiered. The incident was closed when one correspondent's story was released, while the other's was held up and is still among the ar chives at great headquarters. There were no indications of favoritism, however, as is shown by the fact that the correspondent whose account of the airplane flight was held up suc ceeded'in sending another dispatch unchanged which, when presented in German by the correspondent of a German-American newspaper, was not permitted to pass. These and countless similar cases in dicate that genuinely earnest efforts have been made by the German au thorities to put newspapermen in pos session of real news, but their efforts as often as not have been partly or entirely nullified by the censorship against which every neutral corre spondent in Berlin has complained re peatedly. By a curious coincidence, it was a man unacquainted with newspapers who early in the war told the German foreign office that it could hope to in terest neutrals, and especially Ameri can, public opinion only if it offered news of such value that American newspapers would willingly pay for it. Gradually, officials in the foreign office and elsewhere have adopted this view, but only to a limited degree. The foreign correspondents in Berlin are still flooded with quantities of litera ture written in German by Germans from the German viewpoint, while each day news which the correspond ents desire to transmit is suppressed and must find its way out by the me dium of German newspapers or by word of mouth, to be distorted or mis understood. As relating to the German press the censorship is very severe. It Is the more effective because there are no blank spaces in the newspapers to in dicate to the reader what has been eliminated. Protest has followed pro test against the muzzling of newspa pers in regard to political as well as military news, but the only letup has been along economic lines. Newspapers now are able to dlsruss with some freedom food and similar conditions, and even to criticise the economic administration. Criticism of the government, and specifically of the party of Chancellor von Bethmann- I-lollweg, Is still forbidden and a num ber of newspapers still remain under the so-called preventive censorship, being obliged to submit political ar ticles to the censor before they are published. WIFE LEARNS LESSON WELL lly Dorothy Dlx Once upon a time there were two beauteous maidens who married two clever youths who were up and coming men. but who had still their fortunes to make. One of these maidens was a noble young creature, with altruistic ideals, who held exalted conceptions of a wife's sacred duty. "I opine," she said as she communed with her own soul, "that it Is a wife's place to help her husband rise In the world, and so I shall endeavor to do my part by being an Industrious and thrifty partner. "It is true that I am not by naturo one of these domestic drudges who find their real affinity in a gas range. Neither do I care for clothes, whose only recommendation is that they will wear well. Nor can I say that 1 prefer the movies to grand opera, and if I consult my taste I would rather burn the long green than pinch a nickle until I make the buffalo squeal. "But all the soothsayers tell us that the way to boost a man up the ladder is by the wife/downing the high cost of living proposition, so it's me for the cheeseparing policy." Thereupon this devoted wife rolled up her sleeves and got busy with the pots and pans, and concocted stews that would have, been Ragouts a la Deutches and cost real money in our best restaur ants. She also made her own clothes and they looked like it, and she pretended to be perfectly satisfied in a cheap flat Instead of bewailing her fate because she could not live in an expensive apartment. By doing these things she was en abled to live very economically, and ob serving this her husband said to him self: What Is the use of exerting myself to make much money? My wife ten joys working:, and has .such simple tastes that It is not necessary for me to hump myself to support an extrava gant family. I will, therefore, take life easy, and devote myself to golf instead of chasing the elusive dollar." So the man slowed down to second speed, and got fat and lazy, and be come one of those men who let* well enough alone. Now the second woman also went aside and communed with her own soul, and she said to herself: "I opine that the best is not good enough for me. And I'm not so much concerned with doing my duty by my husband than I am In seeing that he does his duty by me. "I desire a fine house with plenty of servants, a twelve-cylinder auto mobile, much sJad raiment, and a quart or so of pearls. I also find it good for the health to go to winter and summer resorts, cabarets, the best plays, an(l expensive restaurants; and it is up to my husband to provide these domestic necessities for me." Thereupon the wife went forth and ran up large bills that kept the husband hustling to pay; and observing that he was always on the job, people began to praise him for his energy, and to throw good things his way, and n course of time he became a nillloniare.

Y "I oive-'everything to my dear wife," the grateful husband would say with tears of thankfulness In his eyes, "be cause If I had not had to make much money to support her. I should doubt less have been contented to remain a piker instead of a trust magnate. Moral: this fable teaches that the wife who is a spur in her husband's side generally helps him to win the race.

During the two years and six rtionths of war in Europe the sum total of all that has been done toward putting- the United States on a basis of preparedness is negligible. Presi dent Wilson began with 'earnest re sistance to preparedness. This atti- , tude he retained for about a year. Meanwhile, under other leadership, the preparedness sentiment gained j some headway in the country. There- ! upon President Wilson accepted it, ! and at the opening of Congress in De- j cember, 1915, advocated it.
