Saturday Evening Post. For four
weeks before the ceremony she saw
ed up her wages; and Immediately
after the wedding she hunted up
her mistress and asked her to take
charge of the fund.

puzzled lady; but, Mandy, won't

The local camp of the Woodmen
of the World had delightful feast
in their hall at the close of the
regular meeting last Thursday
night. Ice cream and cake of the
Delmonico quality were served in
abundance. This is q splendid Or
der and the local camp is steadily
growing. The very low insurance
rate which it offers its members en-
ables some to carry lie insurance
who would not be able to meet the
payments at higher rate.

Col. Maus, of Medical Corps,
Would Make Soldiers
Total Abstainers.

Baltimore, Oct. 3.-Interest in
the twenty-frst annual convention of
the Association of Military Sur
geons centered III the address Of
Colonel L. M. Maus, of the United
States medical corps. He discussed
the question, Should total absti-
nence be required of officers in the
military service?" and no. only at
tempted to show where drinking al
coholic beverages was detrimental,
but took: occasion to censor meth
DDS of army recruiting.
The use If alcoholic stimulants,
he maintained, had no place in the
army or navy, either as medicine
or regalement, and said its use
should be barred by legislative en-
actment.
Enumerating what he said were
few of the most important psych-
illogical and pathological effects OF
the use of alcohol, Colonel Maus
averred that it has been the cause
of countless unjust court-martlal
sentences against officers and men,
or harsh official decisions and dis
ordinations in assignments of hope
less aspirations and ruined careers "
He said it causes sickness, i'm
pairs health and usefulness, adds
greatly to the non-etficiency of ot1i-
GERS and men and deprives the gov
ernment eff otherwise valuable Off
GERS and enlisted men,"
Practically all of the crimes in
the army can BE- directly traced to
the use of ALCOHOL he added.
He charged that directly or indi-
rectly the present method OF recruit
ment is responsible for large class
of undesirables in the army who, he
said, "are gathered from the slums
of our large cities, mainly through
the incompetency of undiscriminat,
ing and drinking recruiting parties.
Should the enlistment of this
class and the use of alcoholic drinks
ibe intesdioted the sick rate ofathe
army w9utd oe fedlueed sso Gent.
and its efficiency correspondingly
increased" he said.
