A Woman's Opportunity.

The complexion of Wall streets big organization that works from nine to five is slowly changing as man after man drops out to take uP military service. The inroads which have al- ready been made in staffs of the big banking institutions are hot serious, but the prospect of losing many more employees in the next few weeks or months is being discussed by employ CTS, and it is the general view that most of the vacancies must be filled by women, says a New York news let ter. One of the largest national banks has lost 50 men to Plattsburg and Madison, has 75 more who are in mili- tia organizations, and who will soon leave, and has 460 who are liable to eonscription. A prominent trust com pany has lost upward of 100 men. in- cluding the senior vice president. and expects the total to be more than 300 before the end of the year. Plans are being made to fill many departments with girls, who have been found more satisfactory than men in work that is much the same day after day.

TO GUARD WORKERS HEALTH
National Board to Supervise Condi- tions in Plants Working on War
 Contracts, Is Urged.

A health conservation board, corre
 Iponding to the general munitions board announced by the council of na- honal defense, is imperatively needed to supervise health conditions in gov ernment plants and to cooperate with similar state boards in the regulation of private plants under contract with The government. Dr. Frederick Mar tin of the council of national defense Is thoroughly qualified to head such an organization, says the New Republic No labor laws should be suspended or modified except after investigation and approval by this body of experts. h. deed, it would be to the best interest of the nation if the government could be persuaded to make minimum stand ards of hours, wages and shop cOndi- tions integral parts of all munition contracts. In war time the workers will be willing to forego comforts and to work nearer the margin of physical exhaustion than in times of peace, but the country cannot afford the extraV- agance of paying for work done during incapacity from fatigue or the further extravaganza of urging armies of work men toward relative incapacity by neg iect of proved physiological law.

TRAVELS 40 MILES
 FOR MORE TANLAC
J. D. Hawkins Says His Wife Gained Fifteen Pounds
 on Three Bottles.
SUFFERED 20 YEARS
Wife's Improvement Has Been Won. derfuI-AII Her Neiahbors Talk ing About How Much Bet

"Fm taking forty-mile trip to get more Tanlac," was the remarkable statement made by J. D. Hawkins, g well-known and prosperous farmer, in Jacobi's Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn, recently.
 'Yes, sir" he continued q live at Bartlett, Tenn, and drove eight miles to Raleigh this morning to catch the trolley to Memphis, which is twelve will make forty miles I've travelled to get this Tanlac, and that's proof enough of what think about 1t.
 fI declare I never saw or heard of a medicine doing as much good as this Tanlac has done my wife. She has &C., tually gained fifteen pounds on three bottles of it and besides it has re- lieved her of troubles that have been weakening her down for nearly twenty years. She suffered with indigestion and everything she would eat made gas and gave her severe pains in the stomach. She had no appetite at all and suffered with nervous headaches until she couldn't sleep at night. She was so tired all the time that she couldn't do any of her housework at all. I was just about to give up in despair, for we had tried everything we could get hold of. when I read about Tanlac and got bottle for her.
 "Well, sir, she has taken three bot ties so far and her improvement has just been wonderful and that's the req son I am making this trip. because don't want her to be without Tanlac. She can do all her own housework now and is relieved of the indigestion and has a good appetite. Her nerves are quiet and the headaches are all gone and she can sleep well at night. She is gaining in health and strength all the time and the neighbors are all talking about how much better she looks.
 "I certainly do indorse Tanlac, for after what it has done for my wife, believe it is the best medicine in the world"

Tin Music.

One of the inmates of the Masonic home near Franklin is past ninety years of age. In all his long life he had never heard a photograph. Re gently the members of one of the lodges in the state presented the home with photograph. This was source of wonder to the old man. He had occasion to visit some friends in Franklin, and while there was asked how he liked his new home. Its all right" he said, "just fine. And, say, we've got a machine down there that Is the queerest thing ever saw. They take a pie pan that has hole cut in the middle, and put it in the machine. Then they turn a crank and grind up that tin, and it makes music. It's dang good music, too. o."-Indianapolis News.

When Hubby Fooled Her.

Mrs. Scatterbrain was constantly bem0aning her lot. Her husband, who was entitled to place half the letters of the alphabet after his name, had the most treacherous memory in the world. He could remember nothing his wife told him, in spite of bits of string round his finger and knots in his handkerchief. Only once did Mir. Scatterbrain remember to do his wife's bidding.
 Said friend to Mrs. Scatterbrain :
 'I think you are getting as bad as your hubby. I got note from you yesterday dated whole week ahead"
 "Heavens." gasped Mrs. Scatter brain, trembling with the shock. My husband must have posted it the very day 1 gave it to him "

lO2,383 WHITES,
 44,475 NEGROES
TOTAL OF 14e,856 IN ARKANSAS REGISTER FOR MILITARY
 SERVICE.
Little Rock.

Little ROCK
 Only 40 hours after the close of registration Gov Brough telegraphed the president the full official count of registration in Arkansas, totaling 147,- 522 men. The estimate for Arkansas, issued from Washington some time ago, was approximately 15S,000.
 The last of the 13 counties which had not telegraphed complete returns was received when Phillips county, where there had been wire trouble, sent in its totals. Fifteen minutes la ter the report from the state of Ark ansas was on it's way to Washington over the wire. An early report from the Associated Press showed that the report had been received
 The report shows a total of 102,- SS3 whites registering and 69,945 who may be exempted; 44,475 negroes, 29,251 who may be exempt; 56 aliens, and 9S alien enemies. AS the aliens and alien enemies are not at present total of 47.662 men eligible for the draft, and not claiming exemptions.
 Not All Sought Exemption.
 Military officials explained that the term "claim exemption" is not prop erly applicable to the 69,945 white men and 29251 negroes. Many of these did not claim exemption. The list includes men who have depend ent relatives, those who are physical ly unfit. those who may be needed in other lines of work in addition to those who actually did claim exemp- tion.
 The governor expressed himself as highly gratified by the large number registering in Arkansas, and also at the speed and efficiency with which the county reports had been handled.
 Officials in the Military Department tabulated them in columns by coun- ties. The next step in the work is the compilation of duplicate registry cards which will be filed in the Mili- tary Department. A filing case con- taining 360 boxes in which whites, aliens. alien enemies and negroes can be kept separately by counties has been arranged in the Military Depart ment preparatory to receiving and filing the 147,000 cards.

At the cost of a small jar of ordi- nary cold cream one can prepare full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle contain ing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sal lowness and tan. and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands.

MORE WRILITY IS NEEDED
Spread of Vocational Training Would Add Desired Masculine Vioor to
 the School System.

The nation is beginning to feel lack of virility of American educa- ton. heard very indignant man of intelligence affirm the other day that pacifsm was part of the whole feminist regime in the schools, Fred erick H. Davenport writes In the Out look. We are caught in the tolls this moment, said he, of 2"woman teachers and our Chautauquas." I would not go so far. Some of the most eager and militant patriots know just now are woman teachers. But there is no ques- ton that American education is suffer Ing enormously from the decline of masculinity in the school system. ;,
 Under a genuine sort of vocational training in country and city for the needs of the nation men would by the very force of circumstances again fill very great number of desirable places of educational leadership. The head of practically every township school and experimental farm would be man. And the unusual duties that he would perform would necessitate adequate payment in order to get the man.
 So in the schools of trade and in- dustry in the cities the masculine ele- ment would predominate in the con- trol. A great number of the practical teachers at bench and machine would be men. And thus in country and city the training of youth would be per meated with a masculine vigor of great value to the United States as a whole.

S\DAY COMES
BACK AT FARMER
SAYS HE LIKES CORN BREAD
BEST OF ALL.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 23.-Billy Sun
day has become as fond of corn bread
as typical southern man fed on it all
his life, and already is planning to
make arrangements for continuing to
use it in place fwheat when he leaves
Atlanta.
Il had heard a lot about famous
corn pone before | came to Atlanta"
said Billy in the course of food con-
versantion talk at the outset of his
sermon yesterday, "and | wondered
whether I could eat it or not. Be-
lieve me, you've certainly got it down
to a fine point. ] not only like it, but
I'm thriving on it, and l don't know
what I'll do without it when I'm gone.
Billy was speaking in FAVOR of food
conservation, which the government
just now is urging upon the people
everywhere, and was pointing out the
ways and means by which the nations
food supply can be conserved by the
substitution of plentiful articles of
food for articles of food which are
scarce.
"You people here in the south can
get along without wheat bread better
than the people of any other section"
said he, because you've got this corn
bread business worked out so fine. l
should think it would be no hardship
whatever to eat corn bread at least
half the time, and if | like it that we'll

SAVE YOUR COALR
HERE ARE RULES
OF CONVERSATION

Never allow the house to be over
heated, SO that it is necessary to open
all the windows and be forced to cool
it off. This wastes fuel.
If the house is not occupied during
large part of the day, arrange, if it
is possible, to allow it to remain cool
during that period.
Get the full heat value of every
pound of coal by learning how to care
for the furnace. If you do not tend
the furnace yourself, take an interest
in how it is done, and see that it is
done properly.
Chimneys and furnace pipes should
always be kept clean to get the best
results.
Don't smother a low fire by adding
too much fresh fuel at one time.
Build it up gradually.
Always carry deep, OF high fire.
In mild weather have from four to six
inches of ashes on the CRATE. This les
sense the draft through the fire and
causes a slower fuel consumption
Don't shake or poke the fire too much
just enough to make room for the
adding CT enough fresh coal to keep
the fire going.
When putting on several shovels of
coal, as in banking a fire for the
night, leave a part of the fire exposed
so that any gases from the coal will
be consumed.
In severe weather, keep the crate
clear of ashes there will be a steady
draft through the fire. This means
heat. Before retiring for the night
give the fire careful attention.
Don't let ashes bank up in the ash
pit. This cuts off the air supply
through the fire, and is liable to burn
out the CRATES. Make it rule to re-
move ashes once a day and never
when hot.
Spray the ashes and ash pit with a
hose. 1t keeps down the dust, and a
damp ash pit means more heat.
Do not clean a fire from the top.
Large clinkers should occur seldom,
where the drafts are given proper at
tention and water is kept in the ash
pit They should be removed prefer
ably through the clinker door or by
shaking and dumping the CRATE, but,
if necessary, through the feed door
The fire should then be properly lev.
eled

| 11S counties the posters now
displayed will be torn down Decem-
3r l. In their place will go up am
ncuncements that read this way:
"This county Released from Fed
Il Quarantine for Cattle Ticks on
and after December II
The reason why the new posters
will go up in 11S counties is because
he cattle raisers in the counties have
followed the advice:
dip THAT TICK"
The announcement lof the lifting
of the quarantine is not all that is
told by the new poster.
Here is other information that
they give:
Cattle from premises which are
tick-free and not under State quaran-
tine can hereafter be shipped inter
state to any market without Federal
restriction or placarding of cars. The
tate will maintain an individual
quarantine on each of the remaining
fected premises.
Seattle, therefore, at last may be
shipped to the free pens at any pub
lie stock yards and reshipped as the
stockers or feeders. The county's
cattle now can be sold on the open
market without hindrance in compe-
tition with all other quarantine-free
cattle.
Improved beef and dairy cattle
can now safely be brought in from
tick-free territory to build up the beef
and milk breeds of the county.
"The people of these freed counties
are to be congratulated on the sue
cess Of their efforts to rid their ter
ritory of this dangerous and expen-
sive cattle pest. They are to be con-
graduated also on having opened up
their county to the unrestricted cattle
markets of the Nation.
every citizen owes it to himself
and his neighbors to keep his county
| tick-free. Each one should. make il
his business to see that no ticky cat
tie, horses, or mules are driven into
the county or reach it in any man
ner.
"Final cleanup dipping, where ad
vised next spring, should be carried
out as conscientiously as the origina
dipping"
Farmers in other counties who are
tired of the old posters and wht
want the new ones have only to- fol
low the advice on the old ones:
