CONsCRIPTIoN OF ALIENS.

Secretary Lansing's statement of the status
of alien CONSUMPTION throws ght upon both
ersome matter. The draft boards have had
much trouble and have worked with some con-
fusion in determining where justice was served
and the law obeyed in regard to drafted men
who waited until the eleventh hour before put
ting in claim of alien citizenship to exempt
them from service. The delay is due to the fact
that because of certain disabilities of the alien
affecting his working status the drafted man
prefers exemption on other grounds if he gets
it. There has been a strong protest voiced
against this act Of slackeriSm and it was about
to be focused in bill which would legaIze the
conscripton Of aliens. But Secretary Lansing
presented to a congressional committee rea-
sons which seemed to make this measure mad
visable at this time.
Two major causes for the wisdom of delay
are urged. 1t seems probable that the entente
nations most concerned in our alien conscript
problem will soon agree to waive their rights of
citizen control over men Of conscript age in this
country. Of the aliens who claim exemption
because Of citizenship in other lands we have
fifty-one per cent. of British subjects and the
remaining forty-nine per cent scattered among
Italians Russians, SIavs and others; this, of
course, is exclusive Of alien enemies we number
an our inhabitants. The matter is one in which
the nations fighting with us are almost as in
%lmaely concerned as are we and a satisfactory
settlement of the problem to all concerned
would be found in the waving of citizen rights

ONE COAL DICTATOR.

Toledo News-Bee: We take pleas
ure in introducing to Coal Dictator
Garfield, Mr.. Bob Speer, mayor Of
Denver, who is doing a little job of
fuel dictationa fter fashion of his
own.
The Rockefeller and kindred cor
porations had been having a nice time
running the mining and selling Of
coal in Denver and had got the price
up to $3.50 ton, when Bob declared
that he'd break that cinch. He con.
tracted for the output of three mines
near the city and Denver consum-
ers are getting 500 tons of coal per
day at $3.50. And particular pains Is
taken TO see to It that it goes to the
homes OF the workers.
If the Denverite wants couple OF
tons of this coal he applies, giving
| his home address, where he works,
how many are in his family, and what
| he earns a month.
| The first families that get city
| coal are those whose monthly income
Is from $50 to SIS. Then the SlOO-a-
month families are supplied If the
supply exceeds the demand for those,
then families whose income is from
500 to $3.50 a month will be SUD.

Of any family can get municipal coal.
This has broken the back of the
coal monopoly In Denver. 1t is Liable

it is to cut the price of coal in half.
The families who really need the
coal will get it. Those who can af-
ford to pay the trust price will be
taken care of later, after the wage.

The orange from it's glossy green
The cluster from the vine;

Our ploughs their burrows made,
While the hills the and showers

And frightened from sprouting grain
The robber crows away.

Its leaves grew green and fair,

It's harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.

sOUELCHING THEI. w. w.

The blanket Indictment of the l. W. ". for
nationwide conspiracy, the arrest of officials OF
the organization and the plan to put all the &C
i've leaders behind the bars is an important
move in the governments campaign against IN
surrection and disloyalty. The accused will be
prosecuted under the criminal code and the es-
pionage act and there is reason to hope that
the organization will be put out of existence
permanently as menace to society. There IS
neither room nor reason for it in this country.
It's aims and methods are inconsistent with re-
publican Institutions It seeks criminal ends by
criminal means and openly proclaims its inten-
ton Of destroying the government disabling
society and appropriating whatever OF value
law-abiding thrift has secured In any state
where it obtained the upper hand and could put
its theories into force civilization would cease;

SCOUT RECRUITS
ARE COMING in
Girls are Getting Additional Members
to Their Organization.
This Week.

The Girl Scouts are enthusiastical-
ly at work urging their friends to
Join their ranks. The name OF each
new recruit is to be placed on an
honor roll with the names of the
other scouts and whenever one of
them does patriotic deed such as
knitting for the Red Cross or work
ing for food administration and the
council of defense, suitable symbol
will be placed after her name. The
object of the organization is outlined
by a Girl Scout in the following:
There is no organization that in
stills the loyalty and patriotism to
our country as the scout organfza-
ton Girl Scouts are honest, loyal,
obedient, and patriotic. The girls
in troop are divided into patrols
with a leader Girl Scouts have an
official khaki suit or uniform. They
take many long hikes enjoying out
of door life, and keep the right spirit
always as "a Girl Scout is a friend
, to all. and sister to every other
scout"
When a girl is true scout, she
develops a beautiful womanhood and
becomes an honorable citizen of her
country.
Each scout works for the know
ledge of the tenderfoot, second class,
and first class tests, learning many
practical things. This helps to keep
her interest The merit badges are
| for the same purpose.
| Each troop has a captain and lieu
tenant with the patrol leaders and
other patrol officers.
The whole scout movement de-
velops health, efficiency, courtesy

Ordinary Nuxa<ed Iron VIII Make
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown
People 100 Per Cent. Stronger
In TWO Weeks Time in
Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine,
secret nostrum or narcotic drug,
said Dr. E. Sauer, a specialist who
has studied widely both in this
country and Europe, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real and true strength
can only come from the food you
eat. But people often fail to get the
strength out of their food because
they haven't enough iron in their
blood to enable it to change food into
living matter. From their weakened,
nervous condition they know some
thing is wrong but they can't tell
what, SO they generally commence
doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney
trouble or symptoms of some other
ailment caused by the lack of iron
in the blood. This thing may go on
for years, wfrile the patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong
or well, you owe it to Yourself to
make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-graiI tablets Of
ordinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.
