Glymph's Pharmacy, Union, S. polii C. but A BIG SUM OF MONEY. ery few people realize what a stu lIous sum of money $7,000,00,000 war budget recently voted by con 58, is. C. D. Hamilton, of St. Louis ting in a St. Louis paper, attempt to give some idea of how mud he interest on the United State; budget at per cent amounts tlmost $500 a minute, according t< C. D. Hamilton, who is vice pres it of the International Shoe com y, who has figured out a numbe omparisons to show just what $7. ,000,000 means. His figures fol There arc almost exactly as man] ar in 7,000,000,000 as there an mcls in 111 years. Since the De ation of Independence, July 4 (?, to date, there are less than 4, ,000,000,000 seconds. Seven billions in gold coin is 13, tons and would load nearly 1,20< 5, each with 2,400 pounds, an< ce a solid train thirteen miles long Seven millions of silver dollar! ked in a pile would go toward th< s to a distance of 1,736 miles. An< /ould take the United States mint king day and night, 224 years t< i the dollars. At 5 an acre, this vast sum woulc for every acre of land in the con ntal United States. Seven billions of dollars in dollai lennacas, cna to ena, win g< unci the earth at the equator nearh ty-four times. And it would tak< express train running forty mile: hour, day and night, continuously two and one-half years, to cove t distance. Let us look at it in time, or in dis :e. even billion minutes is 13,311 rs, 9 hours and 52 minutes! napine seven billions of miles! J : bullet has a speed of about hal ? a second, yet at this great ve ty it would require almost 44rs to cover the distance! Had an express train started a dawn of the Christian era, goinf the rate of a mile a minute, i iid today, nineteen centuries afte' ist was born, figuratively speak hardly have potten out cf th< n sheds, for it would have pom r one-seventh of the distance.

Washington, June 2.?Plans for is ig $4,000 free government insur ? on the life of every Americai ier and sailor during the war ii of pension arrangements will b< m up next week by the council o onal defense. A report prepare< Assistant Secretary Sweet of th< imerce department, ready to b< mitted, urges that the insurant provided through legislation be nee. be defer*e council took up th< stion some weeks apo and tuTnei whole subject over to the depart it of commerce for investigation report ready offers a lenp list o: uments showinp the advantage o kiap out a compensation systen >re American lives are lost in th< he plans as prepared provide foi at insurance of $4,000 on the lif< every officer and private in th< tary and naval service to be pai< lis beneficiaries without premius re would be provision for a systen insurance by which officers am i desiring to do so could take ou mnts higher than the 3*4,000 fre< cy by paying premiums at peaci s. isurance companies, it is said, ar< ly to approve the scheme if as d the government will not con e in the insurance business aftei war. War hazards are so grea . few companies are anxious t< re soldiers and sailors except a1 i premiums. t the end of the war the govern t, it is suggested, could turn ovei nsurance companies its premiuir business, dropping the flat $4,00( cies on all who leave the servici continuing on men who remair in the army or navy. One argument advanced for the - insurance plan is that it would im, prove the morale of the troops. The - plan would provide also insurance of , partial or total disability. In case of - death the insurance would be paid i in instalments whose amount would be determined by the government ! board. Government officials are con5 vinced the best way to dispose of the > i pension problem is to meet it bofore.; hand. .J Many officials hold that since many r will be drawn from occupations in . | which government and State laws . 1 compel compensation for injury and death the government can not subf ject a man to more risk than he en5 counters in his usual occupation and . not make compensation if he is wounded or killed. The success of the government war risk insurance bureau, which has . paid out large sums for ship losses, ) is pointed to as argument that the \ government itself can bear the risk. The $4,000 insurance given free 5 would be a direct loss, but pensions, i it is argued, would be much more ] costly in the long run. J GERMANY'S MASSES. j (Asheville Citizen.) It is singular but nevertheless true that no part of President Wilson's p famous war speech before congress ) went deeper into German junkerism f that that section wherein the Ameri? can president drew a sharp distincs tion between the German government ( and the German people. It will be r recalled that President Wilson stated in substance that the United States . had no grievance against the German people; that this country raised its 3 case against the German government, a distinction most cleverly drawn, ^ and certainly founded on fact. C Tf YlOO 1 Ar* lr y AV MWO WWII ivuunu ill cilia . country that the people of Germany 4 had no heart in the war at the very beginning; that the struggle was pret cipitated without their knowledge r and certainly without their sanction, t Now we are told that the people of r Germany as a whole are utterly sick . of a war which so completely shatters 5 all dreams of sweeping and brilliant 3 triumph. There is every reason to 1 believe, too, that the world has only 3 a half knowledge of the real food con. ditions in Germany, and if the people hold out at all it is not because of i the vision of victory, but for the reas son that they hope and pray that the t day of a democratic era will dawn, . and that the sun of autocracy will set s forever. Indeed, did not the German t autocracy have so complete a hold on _ the popular throat, the salvation of a the German people would have been ^ already achieved in a revolution of J even greater moment than that which d has written a new page of history in ^ 'war party at Berlin is still s able to hypnotize, to fool and deceive 3 the German masses. When one illu3 sion fades another quickly takes its 3 place, and they are led to believe that final triumph is only a matter of a few -j months. Visions of victory are fors ever held before the German vision, and ever there is held out the hope s that Russia -will not only make a sep) arate peace, but will be faithless to her compact with the allies and will throw in her lot with kaiserism. More j than that, tbe German people have j been steadily informed that the entry 5 of the United States into the war is a t matter of little consequence; that her 1 participation will have little or no eff. feet on the final outcome, and that as t far as war purposes are concerning, the American republic is a howling r farce. All of which the German peo^ pie implicity believe, but it is reason2 able to assume that the day of enlightenment is not far off; that the fallacy and weakness of autocratic government will he so thoroughly broucht homo thp mnoooc. in ! many that they will rise in their miprht * and forever strike from themselves the shackles of slavery. iS Reasons! k [ Why you should use Cardui, the woman's b J^B tonic* for your troubles, I ^ e kl have been shown in a thousands of letters from f^B '^B actual users of this medi- L ^ kl cine, who speak from BM personal experience.
