With the aid OF a medol paste, it is
an easy matter for any woman to re-
move every trace of hair or fuzz from
face, neck and arms. Enough of the
powdered medol and water is mixed
into thick paste and spread on the
hairy surface for about minutes,
then rubbed off and the skin washed.
This completely removes the hair, but
to avoid disappointment, get the
medol in an original package. Medol

While the plans Of the America First
Association are in the making, yet
quite definite ideas have been worked
out for the future. The constitution
of the association provides for and
outlines the organization within each
county of the state. The county unit
of organization will include the fol-
lowing:
County Vice President of the
America First Association;
A person selected by the Vice Presi-
dent;
Chairman of the County Chapter of
the American Red Cross;
Public Safety Director;
Chairman of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee;
Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners;
County Superintendent of Schools;
Chairman of the County Y. M. G. A.
Committee;
One person from each voting pre-
cinct in the county, selected by and
at the county convention held on Nov.
10th.
Subject to the approval Of the
America First Association. the county
committee will adopt such rules for
its guidance as may seem necessary,
but in this connection it will be kept
in mind that there shall be reasonable
uniformity throughout the state.
Within short time the officers of

in the meantime the county commit

the organization Of their counties with
the following as plan for action:
Meetings are to be held in each school
district in the state, to which every
person within the district shall receive
special invitation, That this invita-
ton will be accepted, goes without
saying. At these meetings the case of
the government shall be fully pre-
sented, and every person, whether
male or female, fifteen years Of age
and upwards, will be asked to pledge
themselves in a definite way to the
support of the government in the
great work it has undertaken. The
form of this pledge and the matter of
membership in the America First AS
ISOLATION will be worked out more
fully at the meeting of the officers. A
complete roster of each precinct will
be made. The school house campaign
will be scheduled to open on the same

Former President Taft Talks to Men

| After former President Taft received
an ovation from a body of soldiers of

Flag to Have $50 Stars.
The largest service flag erected in
Washington since war was declared
last April, will be unfurled December
9th, on the campus of Georgetown Uni;
versity, on the hilltop. The flag will
bear $50 stars, one for every George
town student or graduate now in the
service of his country.
Patriotic exercises will precede the
| flag raising and addresses will be de-
livered by government officials, and
prominent alumni of the university. A
special prize has been awarded by the
academic faculty for an ode to George
town men, the contest to be open to
students in all departments of the
university. A corps of seamstresses
are busy sewing the white stars on the
, sea of blue in the service flag.
For Military Instructor.
Eighty students of the Catholic
University of America were picked by
Colonel j. A. Dupray, adjutant general
of the District of Columbia and pro-
! lessor of military instruction at the
university, to receive special instruc-
, ton to officer a battalion of civilian
soldiers which will be formed from
the students of Catholic University,
at meeting held last week in Nc
Mahon Hall. This was the tangible
step in an American university to in

| ton into the curriculum.
Aliens Leaving Washington.
| All alien enemies who have come
to Washington since the declaration
of war, April 6, 1917. were notified to
| leave the District last week, and resi-
dent aliens. Germans who took up
residence in the District prior to the
/, declaration of war, are allowed to re-
main until December Is. \
| The Department of Justice ruled
that an alien enemy is a. native of
Germany, who has not obtained his
final naturalization papers.

naturalized Germans left Washington
in one day.

the action Of the Okla. Legislature,
March 18th, when the Senate unani-

submit to the voters at the next gen.

This was a fine way to celebrate
Saint Iatrick's Day. We all. know
saint Patrick was a gentleman of
fortune and renown'.' Oklahoma may
share his fortune in the great advan-

ONE IN TEN BABIES DIE
Figures From U. S. Children's Bureau
Show Fearful Facts Concerning
Conditions in This Country

Approximately one in ten of all the
babies born in the United States dies
before completing twelve months Of
life, the U. S. Children's Bureau
says. "Baby Week." May / to 6, is
being promoted in Mexico by the
Federated Clubs, who had charge of
it here last year.
1t was once thought that a high in
FAINT rate indicated a greater degree
of vigor in the survivors. Now it is
agreed that the conditions which de-
stroy so many of the youngest lives
of the community must also result in
Gripping and manning many others
and must react unfavorably upon the
health of the entire community.
Two thousand one hundred commu-
mites have reported to the Children's
Bureau the details of a Baby Day or
a Baby Week by which they called at
tention to the need of protecting their
babies.
The Bureau says: "Not all of the
2,100 communities reporting a Baby
Week campaign in 1916 may find it
wise to repeat the celebration in 1917;
but the United States includes a.
1856 Incorporated cities, towns and
villages, and it is doubtful if among
the thousands which have never had a
Baby Day or Baby Week there is a
single town or village which would
not profit from such a campaign"

The father may consider his sons
work as a Second Class scout just play
until he discovers that the boy can
dress a wound in such a way as to
avoid infection, or the boy himself
may consider his first aid work a game
until suddenly he comes face to face
with an accident and the nearest doc
tor is miles away. Then he realizes
that first aid is more than a game,
and though his hand may shake a lit
tie and his lips grow white, if he has
scout material in him he will do his
work and do it well.
To become a second class scout, a
tenderfoot must pass, to the satisfac-
ton of the recognized local scout au-
thorities, the following tests:
l.. At least one months service as
a tenderfoot.
2 Elementary first aid bandaging;
know the general directions for first
aid for injuries; know treatment for
fainting, shock, fractures, bruises,
sprains, injuries in which the skin is
broken, burns, and scalds; demonstrate
how to carry injured, the use of the
triangular and roller bandages and
tourniquet.
3. Elementary signaling; know the
Semaphore or the international Morse
alphabet.
a. Track half a mile in twenty-five
minutes, or if in town, describe sat-
~isfactorily the contents of one store
window out of four observed for one
minute each.
5. Go a mile in twelve minutes at
scouts pace about fifty steps run
ming and fifty walking, alternately.
6. Use properly knife or Ratchet.
7. Prove ability to build a fire in
the open, using not more than two
matches.
8. Cook a quarter of a pound of
meat and two potatoes in the open
without the ordinary kitchen cook
ing utensils.
g.. Earn and deposit at least one
dollar in a public bank.
10, Know the sixteen principals
points of the compass.
Receiving TIE second class badge,
the scout then "goes after" the first
class badge, a real distinction.

GERMAN AMERICANS

AhG fhuAA1IhlNfhpD
A GERMAN-AMERICAN, writing
the Post-D Dispatch regarding our
break with Germany, closes a peril
nent communication by saying;
During the present European War
many American people have often
questioned what will the German
American do in the event Of hostili-
ties with Germany. There are no peo-
pie who are truer to the American
They have come to this country to
make IL their home. They have
helped to change it from a wilderness
to a smiling garden. Their sons and
daughters and they themselves have
come to be Americans, not alone by
mere birth or choice; but by heart and
soul. How al they turn traitors to
our country which is our home and as
dear as life itself to us. If you do
not believe that the German-Ameri-
cans r good American citizens,
come into the communities where we
live and you will find beautiful homes,
churches and schools with peaceful,
prosperous, law abiding citizens.
The old German settlers came to this
country and regardless where they
settled the community always proved
to be a success.
A great crisis is facing our coun-
try and we must stand united as one
people to overcome it.

According to Werner, mule meat is
more delicate in flavor than horse
meat. He says it is lighter in color
and more attractive looking. 1t re-
sembles beef, he declares .
There is nothing to balk at in buy
ing mule meat, he continued. 1t is
guaranteed not to make one stubborn

in great demand D..
The horse meat has been received
with favor by those living in the
neighborhood of the market. Wer-

SUPPORT HOME INsTITU-


THE Ledger has always claimed
that if you look after the local insti-
buttons you have, and patronize your
home merchants, your town will
grow and prosper, and other industries
will move in.
Along this line Of loyalty, the Full
ton Gazette says:
Are you as loyal to Fulton as you
shout be? Do you give preference to
Fulton men, Fulton goods, Fulton
educational institutions and Fulton
industrial establishments.
Do you send your money to other
towns for things you can get here
at home? IL you do, do you realize
that that money has gone beyond
reach, and that there is no way for
you to get part of it back again?
Do you stand up for Fulton in the
way you should? Do you tell other
people about the towns good points,
or do you tell them about its bad
points? Are you doing all you can to
encourage home establishments? Are
you trying to get people to come
here to do their business? Are you
trying to get those who live here -
and make their living hereto think
first Of Fulton?
If you are not doing these things,
you are not doing your duty by the
town in which you live. And unless
everybody in Fulton does his part to-
ward Fulton, Fulton is not going to
be the town it ought to be, or that it
can be.

WOOD IN HORSES HEAD

CoVINGToN, Ind, March 81. =
Two pieces of oak wood, one two and
three-quarters inches long, and the
other slightly shorter, were removed
by a veterinarian from the head of a
horse belonging to Julius Loeb. The
wood had been in the animals head
for more than ten years.
John Bowers, who used the horse
while on Loeb's farm, says the acct
dent took place about eleven years
ago. In striking its head against a
projecting piece of oak, the left eye
had been destroyed.
The two pieces of wood which were
removed from a place a little below
the other eye, were well preserved.
The horse had worked until a year
or so ago when Charles Howard, its
present caretaker, turned it out to
pasture.
