To have the superfluous hairs come out, roots and all. before one's very eyes, sounds almost too good to be true. Yet many thousands of women have proved to their own satisfaction that this can be accomplished-eas easily, instantly, harmlessiy-by means Of the wonderful phelactine process.

AMERICAN BOYS i LACK DISCIPLINE
 NEEDED IN ARMY

( An officer in an army training camp remarks that one of the worst difficulties is the American boys lack of training in obedience. Our young recruits are splendid fellows, as alert and clean as those of any race on earth. But American family disci- pline is loose.
 Plenty of orders are issued to the young folks. but in comparatively few families are these orders followed up and obedience insisted upon The Am erican boy listens amiably, and then goes and does as he pleases. We are a good natured people and punish ment goes against our grain. The American boy comes out of it self re- liant, but without much recognition of authority. It will go hard with boys developed in this atmosphere to submit to the strict regiment army life.
 Many of the regulations will seem arbitrary and without any basis in reason to the boys. They will want to stop and argue. and may land in the guard house for disrespect. Yet army life is built on the idea of in- stant obedience. Only thus can a group of men acquire the habit of action as a unit. The soldier who is allowed to use his own discretion in one thing will try to use it at the wrong time in tke moment of con- f1ict. He may then endanger his own life and those of others by his indi- vidual action.
 It is the unity of military force that gives it it's striking power The doing of things all in one second, the exact precision of action, makes a company of men formidable and mul- tiplies many times the effect of indi- vidual action. To secure that unity the habit of instant obedience must be acquired until it becomes invol- untary.
 Theirs not to reason why'' is the motto. The private soldier must as- sume that his officers have had a better training, and that they are in possession of wider information than he has, and that there is good reason for every order. As a matter of fact discipline is 8 great safeguard. Every time insubordination is quelled and irregular action avoided, a body of men are enabled to protect them selves to the best advantage.

ment bureau during last ses-
sion. In addition to this 226

Although by far the major
ity Of the jobs secured go
through this bureau, these fig
ures by no means represent
the amount Of money earned
by students while attending
the University. A large num-
Der of them are student assist
ants who secure their appoint
ment after the first year by
reason Of excellence Of the work
done as students in the year
previous. Then there are a
great MANY who secure work
out in the city of Austin who
find out about them Of them
selves and never apply to the
