RECRUITS

They're soft feather pillows and their skin is like glove. And they have each lady that they think they've learned to love; They're handsome and they're ugly and they're freck led and they're fair But they've gone to join the army-and for what they do not care:
 For what? For Uncle Sammy
 And it's him. says they they've went. As a service and sacrifice,
 And eke a sacrament. They've joined the state militia, taken up from off the street, With their eyes a'shinn' beauteous and their cheeks a-gIowin sweet they've said good by, my lady for little while at least For they've gone to join the army, and the army is beast:
 A beast blessed baby.
 And it's for the baby's sake They have donned the yellow khaki
 And gone off to boil and bake! Recruits! Recruits! They're gentle ever suckin dove, And they sing their marching dtties to the tune of lady-love; They're soft and shy and -skeered, but you bet your life they'll do When the drin' camp is and the rookie days through
 Recruits So young and tender.
 But with somethin' in their That's not flukn' surrender
 But to do their stunt and die!

 CHEESE SHOPS
County Health Department Acts On Complaints of Residents Near Factor ies; Several Warrants Are Issued

A clean up campaign waged against the cheese factories of the county was initiated yesterday by the county health officer
 That the sanitary conditions of the factories and dairies demand that ac- ton and immediate action be taken for the health of the community was the statement made by the officer who declared that he would close the plants and keep them closed until they produced a clean product in clean surroundings
 That his word was not an idle threat was demonstrated by making formal complaint which was respon- sible for the issuance of several war rants charging the proprietors of cer- tain factories with maintaining a public nuisance.
 Residents in the vicinity of cheese factory protested to the health officer who after an investigation found the stench. flies. etc to be as described by those who are unfortunate enough tC live in that particular section under the present circumstances.

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY

Whats the great American idea in trying to break the worlds record for the 100-yard dash?
 Who started this sprinting business anyhow?
 Why hurry?
 Run for the street and you're liable to fall and fracture bone lose limb getting on or bust lung-and miss the car, Man ran for a trolley car the other day and he's lying in a hospital There was another just behind, too-he gained ten onds and it will be six weeks before he's up and That's the funny part of it-that's where the joke comes in.
 You cant go sixty miles hour in buzz wagon and keep it up any length of time wheel off, or the machine tries to dive through stone barn.
 Five minutes for lunch You can't let your teeth loaf like that and pass the buck your gizzard. Your 'tummy" has a keen of humor and take joke well anybody, but don't get the idea that you rub it n-after spell Friend Funny will refuse to take anything but beef tea and bis cults. A stomach that is overworked tires of this sort of comedy
 Up until a m, helping all you to make the demand for booze exceed the suppy-trying sprin- kle salt the tail of just more" hghball. Next morning your head feels like squirrel cage wheel looks and your efficiency the office drops fifteen degrees below nothing all.
 Shame you, to be always in a hurry. To rush hither and yon keeping appointments only by the skin your teeth and catching trolleys only by breadth escapes is to confess that you not fit dispose of your twentyfour hours per day. It is to confess that you sloven and gross mis- manager of your time.
 Some never hurry-they rushed; always calm. self possessed. poised-they have an abundance of time for everything they have to do. and they do five times much in the length of time you do. There's a reason-it's worth learning.
