cient than ever and that they must
be moro economically managed and
better adapted to the particular re-
auirements Of our task than they
have been. and what I want to say
is that the mon and the women
who devote their thought and their
energy to these things will be serv-
Ing the country and conducting the
fight for peace and freedom Just as
truly and just as effectively as the
men on the battlefield or in the
trenches. The industrial forces Of
the country. men and women alike,
will be great national, great in
ternational, service army-a notable
and honored host engaged in the
service of the nation, and the world,
the efficient friends and saviors of
free men everywhere. Thousands,
nay. hundreds of thousands, of men
otherwise liable to military service
will of right and necessity be ex-
cused from that service and assign
ed to the fundamental. sustaining
work Of the fields and factories and
mines, and they will be as much
part of the great patriotic forces for
the nation as the men under fire.
/ take the liberty, therefore, of
addressing this word to the farmers

SADLY FUNNY.

One of the most humorous and at the same time most pa thctic phases of the war is Ger manys attempt to persuade her self that she is right. Over and over again Germany has chant ed to herself that she went to war for freedom of the seas. that she didn't start the war, that she did not violate Belgium.
 And the most pathetic phase of the entire situation is that Germany has repeated the in- cantation so many times that her government and her leaders, at least, believe il. and perhaps that belief has been instilled into the minds of the people.
 Every harmless town liar tells the same old yarn so many times that eventually every detail is so burned into his Subconscious- ness that he finds il impossible to believe that his story is fab rication. And Germany is try ing, and fossibly has succeeded in kidding herself into believing something she knows isn't true.

MORE ADVICE.

This is the age of advice. Someone down at Washington draws $125 a month for telling farmers how to do this and that. A S100 clerk writes homilieS to the housewives about getting up wholesome dishes at little expense from potato peelings and wheat husks. And thus they are busy trying to uplift the peo- pie into frenzied effort to con- tribute their mite to the conser- vation of the nations strength.
 Realizing that the health and vigor of the people is the best asset in time of war. the Tele- gram desires to show its patriot ism by correcting the faults which are apparent from obser- vation in restaurants and hotels on these hot days. Torrid weather is the most trying time of the year on the human con stitution, and it is a sin how some people abuse themselves when their power of resistance is at its lowest ebb. In general. then. and without any desire to be tedious, let us lay down these fundamental rules for hot weather:
 Remember that the stomach can be overworked and that II needs rest the same as the mind or the leg, let us be temperate in what we impose on it. For instance:
 A quart of water, if it is ice cold, is enough to drink if you are hot and thirsty.
 Don't overeat; digestion is i'm peded when you are tired. Three or four pork chops, a couple of potatoes, a couple of helpings of boiled onions. two SaucerS of peas, a half of pie and an eighth of a pound of cheese ought to suffice under the con- ditionS.
 Don't pour a lot of iced tea into your stomach during meal time to retard digestion. Four glasses should be enough.
 If you must drink beer, drink il in moderation during hot weather. A couple of bottles il, the forenoon. one at dinner. three or four in the afternoon, a couple for supper and four O. five in the course of the evening, are all right. But don't mak a damned hog of yourself.
 What the nation needs t0 d.. al thiS time is to conserve it's health and strength. Drover'S Daily Telegram.

OFFICERS ALL DRESSED UP
Men Who viii Lead Uncle Sans
Fighting Forces Also Have
Some Place to Go.

When the American army takes the
field the officers, at least, are going to
be the sportiest, niftiest set of men
that ever trod the path Of glory. Since
they are risking all, they are going to
have the satisfaction Of stepping out
in the trimmest style. Vanity is to
have its sway, and no one can critl-
cize. When a man offers up his life,
who can deny him his fling at fashion?
Furnishing goods dealers who are
supplying officers tell stories of great
business, says the Kansas City Star.
The officers are all dressed up, in addi-
ton to having some place to go. For
one thing, they are going in for swag-
ger sticks. A swagger stick is some
thing less than a cane, minus the
crooked handle.
1t Is trim little article of adorn-
ment, but few men dare carry one, ex-
cept in uniform. The army vindicates
the wrist watch. Because they are
handy and practicable, the soldier may
wear a dainty timepiece, with an H.
Illuminated dial, strapped to his wrist.
In civilian life-but that is something
else again.
Metal mirrors that cannot be broken
are being carried. Pigskin puttees
costing as high as $3.50 pair find
ready sale. Tailor-made uniforms cost
more than $40. The best is none too
good for the officers and student off,
GERS. Expensive hats and shoes that
conform to the army regulations are in
big demand. The English spiral put
tees are permitted and have a big run.
Many Of the men are buying camel's
hair blankets at $25 apiece for the
field.
Officers trunks that sell at 500 apiece
and carry-alls of duck that go at $16.50
are sold rapidly. An Eastern manufac-
turer says that the largest order for
swagger sticks came from Kansas City.
Maybe. A lot of them are sold-some
Of them with gold tips. There is no
skimping on apparel.

Humor in French Alsace.

The will and the conscience Of Al
SAGE have never ceased to be French.
Her national character is completely
differentiated from the German. The
German obeys automatically. The
Alsatian is fundamentally independ-
ent. The German has never possessed
a sense of humor. Alsatian humor, re-
calling Gallic wit, is celebrated. AL
satan stories witness to this, as we'll
MS the caricaturists Hansi and Zislin.
Ask, for example, Of an Alsatian why
he has preserved a German accent,
even in speaking French. He will
reply: "Our invaders have taken every
thing from us, the accent is the only
thing they have left u.s." Or again !:
"What is the difference between an
accident and calamityf" "If Prus-
sian soldier falls into the Rhine, 1t
is an accident" explains the Alsatian,
