So, little fellow,
You have adenoids, do you?
How time fiiesl
Very soon, now, you will
Be big enough
So that some doctor can
Remove your
Vermiform appendix
And then will come the dentistsi
I can look back
And remember
CAS- II IL were only yesterday
When the only charge
The medical profession could
Prove against you was collie;
But now you are getting
To be q regular human being,
And the grand jury OF physicians
VIII indict you yearly
On q dozen counts.
And in the fullness OF time,
II you are good,
The doctors will let you have
A comfortable middle age
Full Of hardened arteries
Child, life Is before you!
Little John Doe,
Science is waiting
To md you guilty!
It seems German agriculturists ar,
rather shy on fertilizer.
They're getting around TO the plac'
where they'd trade their birth rat

MUSTACHES COMING
BACK IN The ARMY
Uncle Sans Men In Training
Camps Say That Fashion
Saves Time In Shaving.

Camp Funston, Tex.-Mustaches are
coming back. If the fashion which
the young men Of the army are setting
is adopted by the civilian populace the
hirsute adornment of the upper lip by
the men of the country will become
quite general
1t was not with the view of adding
to their personal appearance that the
soldiers and prospective officers have
returned to the style of their fathers
in the matter of wearing mustaches.
Necessity created it. The style first
started about three weeks ago at the
officers training camp at this place,
and it has spread to the younger off,
GERS of the regular army at Fort Sam
Houston and to the officers Of the ma
tional guard at Camp Wilson.
ut is not because 1 thought 1 would
be any better looking by wearing a
mustache," said student here, "but it
is time saver. You see, it is like this
we are put through such a strenuous
pace here that every minute we can
save is that much help. 1t takes the
ordinary young man three or four min
utes perhaps to shave his upper lip.
Well, three or four minutes is some
time in this camp, believe me-"
