MUsTAcHE OF BRITISH
SOLDIER NOW DOOMED

London.-The long honored mus
tache OF the English soldier may soon
be q thing OF h past. BY a revised
army regulation it is now made OPP
tional, and already thousands Of the
carefully cultivated hirsute adornmentS
have fallen before the advance OF tho
grim reaper--1sually some brand OF
American safety razor.
Old timers in the army regret the
passing Of this mars of the soldier"
but the youngsters who hay been
struggling lately to grow a respectable
appearing lnustache have breathed a
distinct sigh of relief. It was compar-
atively easy in the old days to con.
troll the army mustachtos. but in the
tremendous new fighting machine now
martialed under the Union Jack they
had gotten completely "out OF bounds"
and Ia begun to border on tho ridicu-
lous.
So an order has been issued striking
out the fateful words. but not the
upper lip" from paragraph No. 1896 Of
the kings regulations. The paragraph
originally read:
The hair OF the head will be kept
short. The chin and under lip will be
shaved. but not the upper lip. Whis-
kers. il worn, will be Of moderate
length"
In an attempt to comply with the

enjoy the freedom of a clean shaven
face, upper lip n all, many. OF the
new subalterns and Tonmies devel-
oped what is known as the tooth brush
mustache. There were such variations
as h stusk.'' the "flytrap," the flick
sardonic" and The Fingered pert while
some even went so far as to affect a
kaiser twist" There were still 9TH
ers who declined to refer to their at
tempts at an outward and visible sign
IF martial vaior as anything but at"
1t is a salve to the older soldier that
he new rule is merely optional. 1t
would be n great grief to many Of the
Did experimentation to part with the
splendid, branching twirlios they have
cultivated over rs years. And then!
100, 1t would be entirely out of tho
question to eannihiiate the old tradition
at fell swoop.
The change to smooth upper lips is
already ~strikingly noticeable in Lon
don, while at the front there no doubt
has been a great scraping OF razors in
the first line trenches. 1t Is estimated
The new order will result in much time
saving to the officers and soldiers, for
1t does not require so long merely to
NOW the upper lip as 1t did t care
fully cultivate a bit of downy fluff that
would pass muster on inspection days.

The Melancholy Turkey.

W.I 4-E
The turkey is a serious bird. The ex-
preston written on his bill, as he looks
nournfuily out over the world or walks
there, in search of the passing grasshop-
per, is hat of a settled melancholy due
e the %certainty Of Fate and to the heredi-
For, ever since the days of the Pilgrim
.athers, the lives of countless generations
1f the turkey family have been cut short
sdy. What would be the effect upon the
minds and hearts of a human family, if
svery membe OF It. for 900 years back,
ppon reaching maturity? A pail would.
hang over the annals Of the. house. Des-
pair, fxed and settled, would be written
Into the very constitutions of its. members,
and life would become a burden, a curse
Utmost too great to be borne.
II must nave been that one Of the Pill
key as symbolic Of that Of man, wrote
Mat cheerful ditty which our ancestors
we're accustomed to sing III their gather

Thy years are enc eternal a
And must thy children die so soon?"
Then, IL addition to all this. you will

rene prices asked by, those who have the

With numerous and deadly snares, other
Than that Of the bucolic AK. You will find
tlat-'the wet spring killed off the young
turkeys. or that the drought this year
was hard on turkeys" or that "a myster-

any one OF these explanations, or you
may get them all. Surely the days OF
the turkey are vanity. and Ii by any rea-
son he escapes the pestilence Of young tur-
keyhood, or the snare of the fowler at
Thanksgiving time. there vet remains the
active ak of the agrfculturist at the glad
Christmas season.
No wonder turkey is high tina he Is
now almost a luxury In the ordinary
to roast. yet they come high--as high as
their first ancestors roostel on the ridge

But to go pack to the pursuer, In his
berth, baffled and frantic and raging.
With hands that fumbled because Of
their very eagerneSs he sought to get
into his garments, and find his shoes
from the melee of blankets and other
articles in the berth, all the time keep
ing one y out of the window for he
must not let his prey get away from
him now. He must watch and see
what they were going to do. How for
tunate that he had Weakened in time
for that. At least he would have q
clue. Where was this? A station?
He stopped operations once more to
gaze off at the landscape. a desolate
country scene to his city hardened
eyes. Not a house in sight, nor a sta
ton. The spires OF the distant village
seemed ltke a mirage to him. This
couldn't be a station What were those
two doing down there anyway? Dared
he risk calling the conductor and hav-
ing him hold them? No, this affair
must be kept absolutely quiet. Mr..
Holman had said that il a breath OF
the matter came out it was worse than
death for all concerned. He must Just
get off this train as fast as he could
and follow them il they were getting
away. 1t might be he could get the
man in a lonely place-it would be
q enough to watch his chance and
gag the lady-he had done such things
before. He felt far more at home In
such an affair that he had the night
before at the Holman dinner table.
What a pity Of the others had not
come along. It would be mere child's
play for two to handle those two. who
looked as II they would turn frightened
at the first threat. However, he felt
confident that he could manage the AZ
fair alone.
He painted with haste and succeeded
IN getting the wrong legs into his
trousers and having to begin ali over
again, his efforts greatly hampered by
h necessity for watching out the
window.
Then came the distant rumble Of an
oncoming train, and an answering
scream from his own engine. The
two on the ground had crossed quickly
over the e track and were looking
down the steep embankment. Were

Ralph g. Ely. Republican State
Chairman and candidate Tor the

leaders and bosses. Ia a recent
address he said:
during all Of our territorial
days, our Governor and other ter.
litorial officials were appointed
for. us. Even the district at'or-
neys were not elected by the peo-
pie. Personal politics prevailed
instead of party politics. No mat
ter what men called themselves
the great majority of our people
were urged to vote by personal
consideration rather than BY DIS
cussionsof fundamental principles.
The members OF both the kepub-
lican and the Democratic parties
had traditional affiliations with
those parties in other states, but
no national issue and practically
no state issue could be Of material
consideration in our elections. The
same conditions obtained IN our
first state election. II was merely
fight for personal control.
No party can long exist which
is not grounded on large pr'n-
ciples Of government, and no men
can attain real leadership through
personal politics. They are bosses,
not leaders. Nothing in the life

eight weeks will be prosecuted vigor- ously. The campaign will be in charge of State Chairman J. w. House, Sec retary c. c. Calvert, and Assistant Secretary T. J. Terral, all of whom have won the Victoria Cross and any other available honor on the field of conflict in Arkansas politics.
 Speakers are volunteering for the campaign, and Dr. c. H. Brough, nominee for governor, will be the generalissimo of the forces that Hook upon with distrust and point with pride" Senators Clarke and Robin son and the seven representatives have been invited to return and take part in the campaign. Their friends at home would be glad to see some of them again, and after their arduous, continuous service in saving the coun- try up there at the head of Pennsyl- vania avenue it should be relief to them to get back among their con- stituents for a while. Who knows what breaches in fences they might find in urgent need of repair?
 Speakers will go principally to the counties where the Republicans have developed opposition, and the cam paign will therefore probably be opened in the counties of Madison, Hot Springs, Carroll, Searcy, Craw- ford and Newton.
 Smead Powell, already running for the senate, former Governor Dona- ghey, who may run, Associate Justice W. F. Kirby, who will be candidate in 1919 for Senator Clarke's place. Gov. Hays, who has advised the public that he is in the probability column, and Hon. Stephen Brundidge, who is always a possibility, are among those who will be invited to enact the role of spel'-binder.

FRESH AIR.

Everybody so believes In the value Of fresh air today that it seems rather foolish to dwell on its importance. Yet less than fifty years ago-ln 1869 to be exact when a physician In England ad- dressed society of doctors on the value of fresh alr he was hooted from the platform. and this same society later passed a resolution forbidding the use of their platform to such nonsensca talks. Such has been the progress within half century.
 When pr. Trudeau, who died last year, contracted tuberculosis about 35 years ago, he decided to try the open air treatment. His friends felt sorry for him for they thought the man had surely gone out of his mind: Vet so rapid was his gain In health that he convinced others that fresh alr was the chief requi- site for a cure, and he was enabled to establish sanitarum in the Adj rondacks where he had been cured In this sanitarium pr. Trudeau helped to restore the health of many others and when he died the press of the country had articles of praise regarding him.
 Of course, pulmonary tuberculo- sis being lung disease, the i'm portance of breathing is apparent. The lung is the instrument of breathing and to be kept in good condition it must be used properly.
 lf good deep breaths of pure air are taken the lungs develop in strength. The lungs purify the blood and if they cannot do the full work, the blood is not so purified and the general system becomes
 weakened. Then the tuberculosis germ begins to work and a useful | life is cut short.
 The Arkansas Society for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu- losis is much interested in this sub ject and offers free advice and liter ature for the asking. Write the so- ciety today at the City Hall, Little Rock.

DISEASE IS
 PREvENTABLE
OUT OF EVERY ONE HUNDRED DEATHS IN ARKANSAS FORTY
 ARE PREVENTA5LE.
Important Information Regarding the Proper Course to Develop Resist Ina Power-A Careful Consump-
 tive Is Not Dangerous.

Much has been said and written Of tuberculosis in recent years. Yet comparatively few people have given this subject the serious thought it de- mands. Indeed few people really un- derstand the seriousness of this plague and therefore it's spread con tinues despite the efforts of social organizations and individuals who are giving their time to wipe out the plague.
 Tuberculosis in itself is not dead ly. Post mortem examinations nave shown that at least 70 per cent or the people who die normal deaths have had tuberculosis at some time of their lives What does this mean? Simply that they were of such physi- cal fitness that they were able to shake off this disease. Therefore the first requisite for avoiding tuberculo- sis is to be in sound physical condi- tion This does not necessarily mean physical strength. Physical strength and muscular strength are quite diff ferent Strength of health shows it. self in the power to throw off disease it is the power of resistance. If the body is we'll nourished, if the lungs are well filled with pure air, if the di- gestive apparatus is in good condition, the body is given tone and this tone increases resistance which repels dis ease On the other hand, if the body is poorly nourished, if food is not properly digested, either because the teeth do not properly grind the fooa, or because the stomach does not do its work properly, the body loses it's tone, the power of resistance is weak ened, and disease more readily enters
 Physical strength is often confused with muscular development. So often one hears of an athlete who dies of tuberculosis. He develops his muscles during the first period he is engaged in athletics and when he retires to pri- vate life, these muscles become fab by struggling to be reabsorbed in the body This is the most dangerous pro cess of his life and so weakens his system that he is unable to resist dis ease
 The careless con sumptive is an enemy to mankind While spit ting is bad equally as bad is the habit of coughing or sneezing without using a handkerchief to catch the germs.
 Every community therefore should pass some regulation regarding spit ting in public places and especially regarding careless consumptives. We may feel very sorry for those who have tuberculosis, but we can also be sane and practical by stopping it's spread and saving those not already infected.
 The Arkansas Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, with offices at the City Hall, Little Rock, will be glad to aid any community or individual regarding the prevention of this disease.
