Young Men at Formative Period.

With certain special and technical
exceptions our army-or, for that
matter. any army-taking young men
at the formative period of their man
hood. gives them nothing that is of
value in meeting the problems of life
and livelihood that confront them on
their return to civil society. on the
present feudal basis our army training
is in it's economic and social aspects
wasteful and demoralizing.
But take the feudalism out of the
army; make il efficiently constructive
il. the time of peace as il is efficiently
destructive in time of war; establish it
along lines wherein young men may
acquire the industrial equipment for
Industrial civil life that is ahead of
thenl-give them these things well
as the requirements of military pro-
ficiency-and the country will have an
army of defense in which there lies no
more menace of militarism than exists
in so many vocational schools or tech
meal colleges.
1t is along the lines of these prin-
ciples that the following plan is based !:
Here is a plan for raising and main
tanning an army adequate to our needs
which neither in the raising nor in the
maintenance of il would cripple our in
dustrial resources. but. on the con-
trary. would in both respects prepare
us for greater industrial developme Mt
as well as to resist armed attack. The
practicability of the plan seems to be
obvious from lay point of view. Its
value from a military point of view is
under consideration by the War Col
lege at Leavenworth.
Experiments in military training by
the War Department have shown that
recruit can be turned into "A soldier
in less than a year of training. The
present enlistment period is three
years-two years Of wasteful reitera-
ton.
Let the recruit join the army for a
term that will give him three years

choice; this period would be a fixed

to Get Fat and Be StrOngl
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or

while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat un-

similates the food you eat. Drink n
glass of cold water four or five times

Editor The Advertiser:
AS the year 1916 comes to close we
are like the old Georgia philosopher,
"Bill Arp" in Illuminating mood. Bill
Arp used to say, Count that year lost,
If when its course is run, Heaven is
farther off than when its course be-
gun" We were thrown into this rum
mating mood by observing the good
women cleaning up for Christmas,
sweeping and cleaning up around the
place. We could not help from think
ing what great thing 1t would be If
We could as easily clean up our past
life for the year. We wonder how
many things we have said, done or
thought that we would give anything
IL we could recall. What Is it about
Christmas that makes us all feel diff
ferent from any other time Of the year,
but the anniversary of the birth of our
Saviour the Son of God, and the happy
family reunions?
We do not think we ever spent a
Christmas day with more grateful
heart than the present one. A few
weeks before Christmas our family was
scattered from El Paso, Texas, to up
per South Carolina. Two boys on the
border. one in south Georgia, one In
Charleston, one on the farm, one and
only daughter on the farm. Just wife

gloomy for awhile to us. but by the
providence Of God we were all togeth-

that, but there was an unusual gath

AT THE FRONT WITH THE ALLIES
The Greatest Achievement in Motion
Picture PbOtOplay.

Picture Photoplay.
1t seems incredible that some Of the
most terrific battle scenes Of the Eu-
ropean war, views Of the great sea en-
counter, of the daring air raids and
the grewsome sights Of carnage in the
wake of great battles could be trans
ported from the fields where they were
enacted and thrown in vivid action on
thetre motion picture screen before
American audiences. Yet that is what
has been accomplished in the Hippo
dromo Film Company's production,
"At the Front With the Allies" which
will be shown at the Idle Hour on
Thursday, Dec. 2Sth.
The English and Russian navies are
shown in action. Several lombard
ments in which cities are literally shot
to pieces and then swept by flames
are pictured. In one picture n great
oil refinery is struck and the large
storage tanks catch on fire. making
one Of the most tremendous confagra-
tions imaginable. An English German
naval engagement is caught here and
there by the camera. One picture
shows an English submarine discharg-
ing torpedo, and the sccceeding one
shows the torpedo striking German
gunboat at a distance, tearing it half
In two.
The scene shifts from Flanders and
the coast of the North Sea an the snow
covered Caucasus, and the Russian
Army is shown in action against the
Austrians. Here and in the Vogcs are
shown some Of tre most pitful scenes
in the whole production. On great
white battleficldS, after the smoke Of
battle has moved away and the armies
have moved on to new fields of en-
counter, literally thousands of the
slain are shown, half covered with
snow, with here and there a foot pro-
truding, or some other mark OF idcn-
tification to show that the mangled
masses are the remains of human be-
| ings. In many places the bodies were
piled into great rows to form breast
works behind which their survivors
