WEAKLING WARN OF DANGERS
IN FUTURE

hoSr0tLdUlo DIS are III large
numbers of weaklings encount-
cred in the physical examina-
tions under the draft, - said Ad
jutant General Henry M. War
field they convey to us a lesson
which we must promptly grasp,
and after grasping it, we must
proceed to profit by it. That
lesson is that we must by physi-
cal training, begun at once, pre-
pare our boys who, if not tanned,
will develop into weaklings, to
be strong, hard men, not for
military service alone, but in
order that they can successfully
cope with the strains of modern
existence and competition in all
activities of life.
"The military branch of the
government has been most griev-
iously disappointed in the physi-
cal failures. Experts had cal
culated that about so per cent.
of the men drafted would be
physically fit. Instead the num-
Der is under 40 per cent. The
sad leason is brought home to us
in a most striking manner that
we have neglected the health of
our boys. We have committed
a national crime. We have been
recreant to our duties as parents.
1--WE must at once reform our
whole system with a view to
building up the bodies of our
youth. The beginning must be
made in our schools, public and
private, and the process kept up
through all the courses until the
youth, when grown man, will
be turned out as a finished pro-
duct, physically as we'll as men
tally. We could, if we would,
and we must learn many things
from Germany, and one of them
is physical training by which its
national efficiency has been de-
veloped. We must start with
the child in the schools. If he
has any physical defects they
must be eliminated at once to
prevent the wrecks sure to come
later. There are many ailments,
simple at first, which can be
cured with proper treatment in
their early stages. While we
have visiting nurses in our public
schools, they have no power to
compel parents to have defects
in their children promptly elimi-
mated. From Ia to 18 there
should be rigid physical courses
in our schools. Our teachers
should be as thoroughly trained
in these as in the mental courses.
After his eighteenth year
each boy should be compelled to
undergo a military training. I
mention the military training
because it carries discipline as
we'll as physical improvement.
| trust that l shall see the day
when at Camp Meade will be
trained 40, ZOO young men every
year, with other similar camps
all over the country in operation.
In view of the large expenditure
by the state government in
clearing the site and in view of
the far larger expenditure by the
federal government, we Mary
landers should leave no stone un-
turned in order that we may
save this camp after the war for
the training of our boys, that
the weaklings, instead of being
far in the majority, may be re-
duced to a minimum, and gene
rations for all time developed to
meet the onslaughts Of the daily
struggle in all occupations for
existence, a struggle which will
become more acute and harder
with the coming years. "-Balti-

Expert Advice on Food Gardens

Of the roots called ''sets. These
should be ) or 6 inches long and in
size ranging from that of q leadpencil
to that Of o man S little finger. For

In deep soil the root cuttings should
be planted straight up and down. If
the top soil is stiff or if the clay sub
soil comes near to the surface the roots
may be planted in slanting posture.
In either case be sure to plant the top
end of the root up. The setting should
be from l. TO IS inches apart. Half a

UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development Of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
to Be Rapid.

As in everything else, the old 70
CINE of Russia had its strangle hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits Of
precious minerals abound and under
a free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian.
American Journal Of Commerce. The
Russian press is full Of news items
chronicling new discoveries Of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals. .
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
nun deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost con-
tinuOus procession Of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, eSpe-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for successful develop
ment Of the newly discovered deposits.
