Universal Training Increases Nation.
al Efficiency.

Mr.. Hunt dwelt upon the efficiency
phase of universal training and quot
ed from Henry C. Emery, who was a
member of the tariff commission ap-
pointed by President Taft, as follows:
THE efficiency of factory labor in
Germany has been greatly increased
through the military education, and
| the young men who have been
{ through this military training become
much more efficient in later years
| than they would have been had they
not been obliged to take this train
ing"
Advocates of compulsory training
in this country want the benefits of
German discipline without the evils
of Prussian militarism. They contend
that the Prussia caste system can not
be propagated in a republic; that Ger
man militarism is product of the
Prussian type of absolutisp in govern
ment and does not spring at all from
military training. And in proof OF
that belief they point to Switz-
land, to France and to Australia, and
to our own experience when We went
conscription in the civil war. IL
The will Of Joshua w. Ashley makes
his wife his sole heir. He left an es-
tate valued at $4,000 and consisting of
4OO acres Uf land. In his life time
he had given away 1900 acres OF land
to his children. He carried neither
fire nor life insurance.
Procrastination is the thief Of time
and the plumber can never be re-
covered.
Men know that they pay high for
eperience, but they keep right on buy
ing that commodity regardless Of price.
No Trace OF Pellegra at EpwOrth Or
phanage.
Columbia, May 26.-"Our unanimous
opinion is that there is no pellagra at
the Epworth orphanage at the present
time" said Joseph Goldberger, NJ d.
surgeon, United States public health
service, who has been in charge Of the
dieting Of the 225 children in the or
phaYS since the government took
Rember. The statement
4 was ldala Lzp7s'ss sfee d 6.
vindor, NJ. D., surgeon, and r. NJ.
Grimm, NJ. D., past assistant surgeon,
United States public health service,
who were sent to Columbia by the sur
geon general to inspect the conditions
at the orphanage.
When DR.. Goldberger and w. f.
Tanner, NJ. D., surgeon, began their
supervision Of food given the children
there were more than 50 cases Of pei
lagra at the Qrphanage, some advanced
and others insipient.
1t is not" said Dr.. Goldberger,
that the children do not get enough
to eat OF that the food is not whole
some; it is merely that the diet was
not balanced. There is no medica-
ton, whatever. We have fed them
principally OH milk, lean meat and
cowpeas, and given them less starchy,
cereal and sweet foods.
"It should be clearly understood
that the children are not cured for the
rest Of their lives, for an unbalanced
diet will bring the pellagra back"

by they were to occupy her property
and in return furnish her food and
clothing FOR the remainder of her

lily was to receive the property.

Millers did not live up to their agree
ment and she asks that the land con-
tract be cancelled.
