PEOPLE FOR IT
Geo. Nj. Abbott Says Chamber
lain Bill Is Popular.
All Realize Need of Universal
Military Training.
PRAISE FOR NEWSPAPER
Chicago Man Says They Reduce
Number of SIackers.
All States Carrying Out Food
Conservation Plan.

GEO NJ Abbott. field secretary OF
the Unive- sal Milits ry Training league
OF Chicago. who is touring ten states
in the interest of the Chamberlain
bill. is in Topeka today en- route home
for the Christmas holidays, after a
.ong tour in which he asserts he has
found the great majority of the PEG
pie OF the west in favor of uniN ersal
training:
MIR Abbott visited the Chamber of
Commerce to tell of the work his
lea que is doing in arousing the people
to the necessity of making the young
men of the nation fit for war service
when they are called upon In dis
cussing his work, Abbott said that too
much ere lit cannot be given to the
newspa pers for what they are doing
and that if it were not for the big
dailies he believes the proportion of
slackers would be much greater than
it is today. He also id that in prac-
tically every place he has been the
people are carrying out the food con-
servatioH plan of Administrator Hoov-
er and that in only one state has he
found anything but favorable consid-
Grafton being given the Cham berlain
bill.
Pass Bill at Once.
There is no reason why congress should
versal military training. one of its first
acts upon re-assembling after the holiday
recess, he said. The people are prepared
for 1t; more than very large majority
have so expressed themselves, by resolu-
ton or otherwise. They are anxious that
the measure be passed now and not wait
until the lessons of our present predica-
ment have faded away
Its passage now will not in any way
interfere with the orderly progress of the
proper measures to vigorously conduct the
war. On the contrary it will be an added
incentive to their higher efficiency. The
terms of the bill are all worked out in
detail They had the hearty recommended
ton of the committee on military affairs
of the SiXyt-fOurth congress and any
thing needed to smooth them out can be
added quickly.
Putting the matter on these grounds
it leaves no room for further argument,
either against the bill itself or to its i'm
mediate passage
There would be fewer exemptions of
city weaklingS and pool hall loafers if
universal military training were given the
opportunity to make these boys physically
and mentally efficient both for national
defense and private living. 7.t.t7-
Stop Dreaming.
I'VE must not in the least abate our
serious plans to meet the general situa
ton towards winning this war, but we
should also use the lessons of our pres
ent uRpreparedness to see TO it that a
like situation in the future shall not find
US unready; it is time that we should
cease to be dreamers
Those who have sons or relatives In
the present army would be happier if they
knew their loved ones already had received
under discussion, knowing they would be
more efficient and able to cope more sue
cessfulIy with the hazards of war and with
much less danger to themselves

COMES HOME TO ROOS7
Prohibition Cause of Sugar Shortage!
soldiers Drink EN- Soft.

3 Washington Dec. 21.-Charges that
the food administration plan for ham
ding the sugar situation gave the re-
timers a chance to combine to fix pur-
chasing and refining prices were
made by Chairman Reed of the sem
ate investigating committee today and
emphatically denied by George NJ.
Rolph. director of the sugar division
of the food administration.
Rolph denied that he represent ed
the company for which he is general
manager, but was a representative of
the people when Senator Reed asked
if the people were represented at the
refiners' meeting held at the instiga-
ton of the food administration.
Did you say in effect to those re-
finers that they could not go above a
certain figure?" Reed questioned.
Yes, they knew the food admins
tration would not accept an exorbitant
price"
7 Prohibition today was added to the
causes for the present shortage Rolph
said consumption had been increased
in the south by soldiers who drink
more soft drinks. chew more gum and
eat more candy than they did when
they could procure liquor.

How Many Bones
In Your Feet?

Most likely, you don't know. Few
people do. and 1t is usually a sur
prise to learn that there are so many
and that the foot is about the most
complicated and delicately con-
structed part Of the body. That is.
perhaps, the reason why at least IS
per cent Of all adults have some kind
Of foot trouble.
DR.. Vim. NJ. Scholl, of Chicago, per-
haps the greatest living authority on
foot troubles and their mechanical
correction, says that not one adult
in one hundred has feet that are
completely free from defects. He
has made a life study of the subject
and has patented a great number Of
appliances for correcting defective
conditions and giving comfort.
One of DR.. Scholrs personally
trained assistants is to be in this
city from Nov. to Nov. 10 and will
conduct a demonstration Of the
Scholl appliances in the store Of M.
M. Hendrickson each day while here.
He will examine feet and give ex-
pert advice without charge.-Adv.
