Health of Soldiers
 Above the Average

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. Re ports received by Col. Walter D. McCaw, surgeon in charge of the southern department, from all the camps along the border show the health of the 100000 and more reg ular troops and National guardsmen to be above the average. Virtual ly one-half of the beds in the hos pitals in the southern department are empty and usually 33 1-3 per cent of empty beds is considered a good record.
 In the southern department there are five base hospitals containing in all a little over 4,500 beds. At San Antonio there are about 700, at Fl Paso 500 and at Brownsville, Eagle Pass and Nogalos 500 each. The reports show less than 2,500 of these were filled and more than 2,000 were empty.
 Colonel McCaw, department sur geon was pleased with the reports. Owing to the good weather, he said, the men had recovered from fever, colds and other minor disabilities, that have kept many of them on the sick list.

 First Plan your campaign with the wisdom of the serpent, conceal it with the silence of the clam, ex- ecute it with the strategy of Mach iavelH.
 Second: Avoid all witticism about marriage.
 Third: Veil with alluring help Icssness the iron of self-sufficiency , Fourth: When a man declares "I shall never marry!" mark him for easy prey.
 Fifth: Be inwardly bold as a lion, outwarGly timid as a lawn.
 Sixth: The loudest flattcry is the silence of attention. When he speaks, listen, It is incense to his pride
 Seventh: Shun the rouge pot and the powder puff, for many maid has lost out by sailing under false colors.
 Eighth: Pick out a chemical af- finity' Remember, oil won't mix with water, but it will with myrrh.
 Ninth: Copy the cat, for it is squeezablc, and the dove, for it coos caressingly, and the whippoor- will, for it seems elusive.
 Tenth: Remember that the su- prcme test of a man is a kiss. If he will not yield under its press ure, scorn him; he is either brute or idiot,

Convict Inventor
 Boon to Germany

Columbus. O., Dec, 7-Would Germany'a U-boat campaign, Zeppe- lin raids and other aerial activities cease if it were not for an Ohio conyict-inycntor, Dr. .Emerich w. Ritter? Br. Ritter today claimed they would because my process for converting natural gas into gaso- line is all that saves them"
 Dr. Ritter, imprisoned on a con spiracy charge, is the inventor of Germany's liquid fire. Both inven- tions mentioned and others he had perfected and presented to Ger many from his cell in states pris- on here.
 "There is no gasoline and Ger m2ny's aerial and undersea activi- ties depend on my invention. The Deutschland is fed with my pro duet, made from the great gas fields belonging to former Ambassador Dumba in Austria.
 "I have planned ten factories for making my gasoline in this country when I am released in January. My wife is being paid $30 a week by Germany and our ancestral estates confiscated in 1S4S, will be return ed to us when the war ends"
 Prison officials say Dr. Ritter really is q genius with chemicals.

Washington, Dec. Crop con ditions in the south during Noyem- Der were reviewed in the Nation al Weather. and Crop Bulletin as follows:
 Except in South Carolina, cot ton seems to be practically all har- vested. in the Carolina's general killing frost came on the fifteenth sixteenth in the main cotton areas i; late cotton had matured very sat isfactorily and top bolls caught by the freeze are in such condition that many will open. Over the bulk of the cotton belt scarcely any cotton remained subject to injury when the severe cold weather came.
 Gold weather damaged sweet po- tatOes in Mississippi and Louisiana and white potatoes in Louisiana. Freezing weather severely injured truck in practically all southern states, but most truck escaped in the warmer portion.
 Sugar cane was damaged to some extent.
 '.,Satsuma oranges were damaged in Mississippi and about 20 per cent of the citrus fruit in Tex was injured The cold weather was beneficial to citrus fruit in Flori- da."

Coopers to Advocate
 Wooden Containers

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 7.--Mem- CTS of the Associated Cooperage In- dustries of America, at the closing session of the seniannual meeting yesterday planned many activities to be undertaken when the asso- ciation's permanent headquarters are opened in St. Louis about Jan. 1. Most important will be the work 1f a special committee in seeking to work out a standard system of cost accounting which will cover the various branches and divisions of the association. This is a mat ter of vital importance, because many coopers, now without any system of arriving at their costs, are selling their products at loss and to the detriment of the indus Itry.
 The association plans a publici- ty campaign in the interest of wood en containers. This campaign will be featured by an effort to interest club women in demanding sanitary packages. The coopers believe that if women demand sanitary packages jobbers and manufacturers will be compelled to buy them. A traffic department to look after rates ma terial will be another feature. A traffic expert is to be employed at once to share the St. Louis offices with B. c. Sheahan, the associations permanent secretary, who will re- port for duty in few weeks. The annual meeting will be in St. Louis in about six months.

 While the party electors are all pledged to the same candidate, the varies little, according to the pop ularity or unpopularity of the cleo tor himself. Some plan should be devised by which the voters can vote directly for the president.
 Another reform for which it seems to me we are now ready is a change in the constitution, mak- ing it more easily amendable. It is now necessary to have twO-thirds of both houses and three-fourths of the states to secure an amendment. That is an unfair burden to place upon the progressive element of the country. l venture to suggest that the rule of the people would be made more secure by a constitution al amendment permitting a change ity of both houses in two successive congresses submit an amendment and that amendment is ratified by a majority of the states, provided the amendment also receives a ma jority of all the votes cast on that proposition in all the states.
 Equal suffrage is the one ques- tion upon which all parties were agreed in the last campaign, their differences relating only to the method of securing the reform While the democratic and republi- can parties failed to commit them selves to a national amendment, we might as well recognize the fact that a national amendment will come when the reform is adopted in a sufficient number of states tC make it's adoption by the nation probable. The democratic party which builds upon foundation that is essentially ethical-the doc Urine of brotherhood d-has more req son for welcoming the cooperation of women in the work that lies be fore the party, and it has especial reason for regarding woman suf- frage with favor at this time, since the influence of the women in the close states was sufficient ot de close states was sufficient to de termine the result"

Decorating the Home.

Every ,housekeeper sometimes has to
face the problem of wall decoration. You
may be among the number of fortunate
ones that are expecting to decorate your
walls this spring. You have a pleasure
in store for you then for there is nothing
in the whole process of cleaning house
that affords more lasting satisfaction
than clean, beautiful walls. The result
outweighs the disagreeable labor neces-
sary in cleaning and preparing the walls
for their new dress.
No wall is success unless ii has been
prepared in the right way and treated
with the right material.
Ask yourself these for questions:
First-Is the wall new or an old one
Second-If new one, how well sea.
soned is the plaster?
Third-What kind of surface has il,
a rough sand coat or smooth, hard fin
ish?
Fourth--lf an old wall, what kind OF
was used upon it before?
III your plaster wall is we'll seasoned
and has never been decorated no clean
ing or preparing of the surface is neces-
sary. Otherwise the old covering must
be scraped off and the surface must be
cleaned.
The rough sand coat plaster is very
