Pistols NAV be obtained now only
through the arsenal AZ Springfield,
Mass. Many dealers have been unable
10 get them because the government IS
taking the entire output. Field glasses
are another thing almost impossible to
get except through the Ordnance De-
partment. The army price is about S33,
while the few dealers that have them
are charging from $50 to 5000 for the
kinds they used TO sell for from $40

to Philadelphia to the factory which is
making O. d. serge, and purchased
enough for his uniform. When II was
made up il cost him just s27 for exact

High Prices at Plattsburg
At Plattsburg they are charging
S20.5O for a khaki uniform which the
Quarterms ster's Department listed in
its last bulletin at $2.3s. The Colt at
tomato was formerly quoted by the
Ordnance Department at si45O, and at
that time the Plsttsburg price was S22.
Since the last group of officers was
graduated the Plattsburg prices have
dropped somewhat, but they probably
will go up sgin before the next class
receives its commissions, and the
army officials hold out no hope Of
being able to furnish officers equip
ment before that time. The result will
be that reserve officers will have to pay
about three months salary for tho
equipment instead Of one.

u. S. Medical Men
Lack Authority
Their Advice Is Passed Upon
by Non-MedicaI
Officials

The magnitude Of war operations has
demonstrated the necessity for the CEN
tTall2ation Of power. Large commit
tees and commissions have failed TO
achieve the results which have attended
the efforts of single man, chosen
with reference 20 his fitness to handle
vast problems.
The medical aspects Of war yield in
Importance to no other phase of ma.
tional work in times of stress and
strife. Unfortunately, there is no
medical officer in the Cabinet Of the
President, despite the fact that this
has been urged for many years. The
War College lacks a representative of
the medical departments of the ma
tional government.
The various surgeon generals are
virtually subordinated, so that their
recommendation are practically ad-
visory in character, whereas, from the
standpoint Of medical efficiency, they
should possess mandatory powers.
1t is important that the powers Of
medical men should, at least. be COM
mensurate with their responsibilities,
The recruiting and selection of men
for all branches Of the service, the
sanitation and hygiene of concentra-
tion camps, the organization of hos
pitfalls and dressing stations, the loca-
tion and sanitation of camps and
trenches are OF vital significance TO the
health and welfare. which means the
military efficiency, of the army.
The prevention of epidemics, the
treatment OF casualties, the main
tenance of adequate hospital care, the
organization OF ambulance systems and
the movement of the wounded are mat
tiers of paramount interest, for which
the responsibility. theoretically at
least, is placed upon the medical au-
thorities in the government service.
As a matter Of fact, every recon-
mendation dealing with any of these
phases of essential military service
must be passed upon and approved by
non-medical men before they become
effective as military orders.-Americsn

KEEP BEAUTY OF ROADSIDE
Some Towns Appreciate the Value of Permitting Flowers and Shrub
 bery to Grow on Highways.

In many charming countryside the town roaddestroyer with his bush scythe gamers the beauty and leaves bleakness, q singularly unkempt re- suit of an attempt to clean up. Sometimes It is the village improve ment society itself. meaning well, that sends him forth, says the Boston Transcript. More often it is his indi- vidual sense of responsibility to the office whose salary he is expected to earn. He, too, means well, and would he greatly indignant if told that his labors tended to drive prosperity away from his district. Yet such is without doubt the fact. The summer visitor loves the country for it's wild tangle, it's untrammeled growth, it's bosty dells and it's friendly shrubbery which crowds into the road itself, Haunting dewy fragrance in his face as he walks. When the day comes that he returns and finds in place of these along his accustomed walks dry brush, bare stubble and clumsily unkempt cleanliness, his soul revolts and on the MOTION ne seeks 1FeSH WoOuS anu pastures new. Some country towns seem to have a realizing sense of this purely utilitarian side of the value of roadside beauty. They build good roads, but they take care to leave the roadside growth untrammeled that those who pass may enjoy 1t. It Is business asset.
 There is more to 1t, too. than the fact that sentimentalists and nature lovers come to worship this beauty. The school children of such town go to school along roads lined with ob- ject lessons not only in beauty but In natural science, lessons which they learn without knowing it and which re- main with them all their lives.

MAKING PROFIT FROM SWINE
Proper Care and Feed Are Necessary Provide Comfortable Quarters
 and Lots of Sunshine.

In order to make q profit from pigs 1t is necessary to give them the prop CT care and feed. They should be pro- yided with clean, comfortable quarters, exercise, and plenty of sunshine. The SOW should be given special care at Throwing time. She should be fed lightly for few days after farrow- ing, and the amount of feed gradual ly increased as the young pigs de- yelop.
 The ration for the sow at this time should be one which will produce a heavy flow of milk. A good ration for this purpose is one composed of corn, shorts, bran, small amount of tank age, and good quality of alfalfa fed from T rack. Bran may make up 10 per cent of the ration, as it'has ben eficial effect on the digestive system and tends u increase the milk pro- duetion.

Iandscaping Fundamentals.

Every owner of bit of soil should make limited study of the art of land scaping so that fundamental mistakes are not made. First do not plant your space all over, as though 1t were an orchard. Leave an open center for lawn or even bare soil and plant only about the borders and in varying widths. Never cumber the center with trees or shrubs. Mass the planting by placing many of kind together; do not space regularly so each will appear lonely or have an orchard effect. It matters little if they grow together in a mass-nature so dlsposes them. This effect is more necessary in shrubs than trees but even trees should interlace. In a small garden some or even all of formality must be had but in place of size we need little or none. In the large places we should avoid straight lines. If one will follow these few sim pie rules he cannot go far astray In planning his own garden.

Valuable War Doas.

The duties of dogs in war are va ried Some are trained for dispatch bearing: others show greater apti- tude for patrol duty. while others make excellent ambulance dogs. Be- sides these there are search dogs. watch dogs, post dogs. draft dogs. etc.
 The dispatch bearers keep two bod les of soldiers in touch with each oth- er Messages are put in small pouches that are secured carefully to a collar ahont the dogs neck. Very frequently these animals are compelled to make trips under heavy shell fire. They are dogs of bravery and daring. and there k more than one case on record when they nave managed to cover the dis tance necessary in spite of freshly ac- qufred wounds.
