Be Sure The Van Classified Columns Before Buying Real Eta
Alcohol and PnenmoE.as.

The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. II
declares that alcohol is the hand
maiden OF the disease which produces
10 per cent Of the deaths in the
United States. This IL no exaggera-
ton. We have known for long
time th6t indulgence in alcoholic IL
quors lowers the individual vitality.
and that the man who drinks Is Pc
culiariy susceptible to pneumonia. The
United States Public Health Service
Is a conservative body. 1t does not
engage In alarmist propaganda. In
following out the line Of Its official
duties It has brought forcefully to the
general public a fact which will bear
endless repetition. The liberal and
continuous user Of alcoholic drinks
will do well to heed this warning, par
ticularly at this season of the year.
when the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia 10 being doubled.

LITTLE WAR ORPHANS
SENT TO SWITZERLAND
Children Took Hearts OF Residents By
storm--ATany Adopted Into Fsmi-
lies--Au Were Cheerful.

Zurich, March THE first fifty
OF the German war orphans, given
temporary homes by the Swiss Ladies'
Benevolent Society have arrived
here. The children will stay in the
care of the society until their moth
ers or other relatives are able to sup
port them. or the German govern
ment decides to place them in asy-
lums. One Of the members OF the
committee which went to the frontier
to receive the little words said:
ION our arrival at Gottmadingen an
agreeable surprise awaited us. We
expected to find a batch OF sombre1y
clad, crying and helpless little ones.
but when we left the train we were
greeted by a crowd of lusty, cheering
boys and girls whose ages ranged from
nine to fourteen years. They all had
heard much Of the Alps and were
anxious to get to wonderful Switzer-
land as soon as possible. Crowding
around US they literally carried us Off
our feet. With the aid of two Ger
man ladies. who had brought them to
the border, and several officers, we
finally managed TO pack the noisy
youngsters into the cars that had been
reserved for them. while the station
master and a number of ladies OF
Schaffhausen provided lunch.
The children took our hearts by
storm. Within ten minutes / picked
out two whom I'm going to keep
forever, II / can. They are the son
AMI daughter OF q Hamburg mechanic,
who was wounded In Poland and In
now a prisoner In Siberia. Two of
their SIX brothers and sisters will
come to Switzerland with the next
transport. One little fellow and his
sister were temporarily adopted by an
other member of the committee. The
father of these children, a dentist,
has been killed at the Western front.
and their mother Is now studying
dentistry so as to be able to support
and educate them.
When the train reached Zurich
there were some sad scenes. because
the children. who had become greatly
attached to each other on their jour
ney to Germany, had to part. Many
of them cried bitterly when they bid
farewell to their chums. One eleven
year-old boy seemed heartbroken
when he learned that his dearest
friend. a girl of nine. could not be
placed In the same family with him"

Queen Spring.
when the apple trees are blooming.
All the atmosphere pertaining,
And the birds are making music In
the air.
1t 10 then feel like shouting
When I take my daily outing
And behold the charms of nature
everywhere,
When the sun 10 softly blazing
And the cattle all are gazing
On the newborn pastures clothed
in living green.
And the children all are dancing
To the music 30 enhancing,
1t is then swear allegiance to mS
queen.
when the baby lambs are skipping
And the honey bees are slipping
Al the fountain on the morning
glory vines.
1t IL then my soul will sing
TO the giories of Queen Spring.
Filled with natures most intoxi-
eating wines.
when the frogs begin their Ginning
And the poet takes to rhyming.
And the turkey sobbler thunders
with his wing.
And bold chanticleer calls shrilly
Through the long night watches Silly.
It Ia then pay all homage to Queen
Spring.
When the lightning bugs are shying
And the whippoorwilis are signing
And the hooking birds are flirting
as they sing:
when the silent stars are boAmin0.
And fall to mystic dreaming.
II Ia then pray aloud: God. Mvo

MILITARY : MEN CENSOR ALL
MEXICAN NEWS
BY ellison Gardner.


Washington, March ia censor
ship on all Mexican war news has
been instituted by the war depart
ment. The Mexican affair is not q
war yet - being, on the contrary,
only a punitive expedition, little late
in starting there is no law au-
thOrizing a censorship. But we have
it. Correspondents who want to send
stuff from the Mexican border Tor in
teriOr) are obliged to give a bond for
$4,000 and put up a certified check
for 81, 900 and to join the army. Be
ing in the army, they are obliged to
submit to all military rules and regu-
latiOns, which means that no copy
goes over the wires or through the
mail which would not please the
officers in command.
If a correspondent does not wish
to give a bond or is not able to put
up a certified check, or is unwilling
to mortgage his freedom to tell the
truth or express a critical opinion,
he has the privilege of staying home.
The military authorities merely say
they will not allow him to accompa-
ny the expedition.
There is every evidence that the
censorship at FL Paso and other
points on the border is working as
censOrships generally work. For in |
stance, a week after the event it is re-
ported on what seems to be good |
authority that Villa and his raiders |
took with them the horses of the |
United States cavalTymen stationed |
at Columbus, N. M.-upward of 100 |
of them having stampeded the cor
raj. This was one reason, possibly, |
why the soldier boys did not take uB
the ''hot trail" But for army reasons
the fact did not get wired out with
the early accounts of the Columbus
attack. Another reason for not pur-
suing Villa-a reason not reported
comes from similar sources, NAMELY,

PREPAREDNESS BILLS PUSHED
BAKER KNOCKS HAY PLAN

Washington, March 10. - With
Speaker Clark taking floor this after
noon and leaders Of both parties max
ing final "set'' speeches, real battle
over army reorganization was in full
swing today.
Publication of Sec'y of War Bakers
letter to Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts, openly cTiticizing Hay
bill, threw plans of leaders askew.
Many officials predicted shake up in
war department would result. Others
believed that possibly administration
dissatisfaction with Hay measure,
both as to small increase authorized
for regular army and scheme to feder-
alize state militia, was outlined in
Bakers letter.
Pres. Wilson approves Hay army
reorganization bill, Chairman Hay of
house military committee declared in
house today. He also declared Sec'y
of War Baker approved bill, denying
that Bakers letter to Rep. Gardner
constituted reputation.
