Hundreds Discharged From Waco.

That drastic measures must be TIA
ken by the government to conserve
the youth of the nation was the Opin-
ion expressed by officers of high rank
ut Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas. at
ter II had been learned that between
500 and 600 enlisted guardsmen and
az many more selected soldiers will
have to be discharged from the service
because OF physical disability.
Guardsmen are ching discharged
at the rate OF, about 10 day. A num-
Der OF these are Michigan men.
Because Of the tremendous task
ahead Of the medical board that ex-
ainines each man up for a discharge.
II is doubtful whether the selectiye
soldiers receive consideration for sew
eral weeks. although it is known that
more than 500 OF the 5000 that came
down here from Camp Custer will be
sent to the hospital as unfit for mill
tary service. That this many event.
nally will be discharged is almost GER
tain.
In almost every case considered SO
far. the soldier discharged was affiict-
cd long before he enlisted. Among the
most common grounds given for certi-
iicates OF disability are mentally de-
hcient,' fiat foot, goitre, defective
eyes. rheumatism Joint trouble and
The results OF injuries received early

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II is that so many products that are en-
tensively advertised, all at once drop ous
Of sight and are soon forgotten? Tho
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not ful6l

applies moro particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy b
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of It.

No other kidney remedy that know u

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact

Aunt virQfnia SAYS:

To attempt to plan your life for
year, a month, week ahead Is just
as foolish as II would be to commence
to add up column of figures without
knowing what more than half of them
were.
Justice TO the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults of
our neighbor but we ought to meet the
occasion as an unpleasant duty. not as
joyful opportunity.
1t pays to be generous II only for
the claim 1t gives us on the generos-
ity of others when our time Of need
comes.
1t ought to be made a penitentiary
offense to thrust upon the radiant hap
plness of newly-married lovers the
cheap, coarse cynicism that ut won't
last"
Some people imagine they are disci-
plining their children when they pun
fish them trutally for doing something
the tenth time that they have been
allowed to do without protest nine
times before.-Farm Life.

state director of markets, on his TO
turn from Washington, where he went
to intercede with the federal food ad-
ministrator to give Michigan bean
growers chance.
Mr.. Mcbride came back with the in
formation that due consideration OF
the cost OF growing beans would be
given In the future. The prices which
the government fixed for beans for the
army and navy would mean So beans
TO Michigan growers, and Mr.. Mcbride
believes that il is imperative that a
representative OF Michigan growers be
at Washington for the next so days at
least
The reason for this, according to
Mcbride, Is that two cargoes Of block
tin have been sunk by submarines and
rs a precautionary measure until the
can situation Is known, the United
States has forbidden the canning NJ
dry peas and will license Gamers to
protect the canning OF dry beans first
for government use and secondly for
general trade. This would enable
Michigan's frosted stock to be market
ed and canned ahead OF imported
beans.
Mr.. Mcbride adds that there is loyal
cooperation among bean buyers of
Michigan to maintain price that will
compensate the growers and secure q
large acreage for 1918.

ously at the task of narrowing the dis
tanco to the maximum.
So far as the minimum quota was
concerned. all but few Of the Michi-
gan counties went lover the top and

counties failed to realize their early

other campaign Is launched.
In some OF the districts which did
not measure up to expectations, the

the result that the fight was not car

Fires Start at About Same
Time Thursday Evening.

Fire in the Cain building last night
destroyed the stocks of goods Of
Dean & Co., wall paper, paints and
electrical goods; the stocks Of tire
Olympia Candy company and the
Gould & Northup queensware and
notion stock.
The fire originated in the room
over the Dean store and was between
the ceiling and roof and was almost
impossible to get at. The entire
building is badly damaged. The loss
to Dean & Co., is about $4,000, with
$4,000 insurance. Gould & North
rup lost about $500, with some in
sarance. ~.
The fire seems to have been of in
cendiary origin. Fire was discovered
about the same, time on two floors Of
the First National Bank building, or
the second floor of the Writ building
on the west side; in the Commercial
building, on the north side, and in
closet in the Opera House building,
but all of these were put out before
any damage was done.
Gould & Northrup had just sold
their stock to local man and had
just completed their invoice. the trans
fer to be made March /. There was
$1,000 insurance on the Cain building.
A local man is suspected as hav-
ing set the fires and his actions are
being investigated.
