British War Spending
Hits $44,000,000 a Day
LONDON. — An authoritative
source announced British war ex-
penditures had risen to £11,000,000
(currently $44,000,000) daily com-
pared with a £7,000,000 daily peak
during the World war.
The announcement came with a
request for authorization of another
billion pounds sterling for war ex-
penditures.
With two billion already author-
ized for war purposes alone, in this
fiscal year beginning April 1, this
source said the total government
expenditures now were £13,000,000
($52,000,000) daily compared with
£8,000,000 at the peak of the World
war.
DAWSON SAYS:—
Life insurance is almost sure to ad-
vance in price since we are at war. Al-
so may have restrictions. Better buy
now. Nothing makes a more useful
present for Christmas, than a life in-
surance policy or a radio. We sell
both. Come in now and talk it over.
Special bargain in second hand radio.
Nice little home for sale. Also small
farm. Also real bargain in a town
lot. Remember I sell fire, life, auto,
in fact all kinds of insurance. Still
becking those good Harper seed.

Something New
Draperies ornamented with real
flowers, instead of floral designs,
have been introduced by a New
York interior decorator. Pockets in
lower folds of the curtams conceal
test tubes filled with water, into
which cut blooms may be slipped.
The result is a gay fringe of bright
blossoms.
Medic Tackles A.B.C.
Dr. W. E. Dale, Louisville, Ky., is
about to break a precedent and take
one of his own pills.
The 75-year-old bachelor doctor,
who recently observed his fiftieth
anniversary of his graduation from
the University of Louisville medical
department, hasn’t taken a drop ot
medicine for 45 years although he’s
given bucketfuls to others.
“Diet, fresh air and exercise are
the three golden rules to health,”
says he.
He admires vitamins and now is
toying with the idea of ending his ‘
45-year no-medieine record by in-
dulging in a bottle of A. B. D. C.’s.
