VETERINARIANS IN DEMAND

Many calls for veterinarians to To-
cate in practice are coming to the
Agricultural College, from county
agents. commercial clubs, etc At the
same time there is call for two
thousand veterinarians for the army
There seems to be a choice of about
five places for every graduate veter-
marian, with the increased value of
live stock, federal meat inspection,
animal disease investigation, food in
spection, teaching and other lines of
activity. The future of the veterin-
AIRY profession certainly IS propitious.
The veterinarian is conservator of
the live stock industry and sense
of patriotism, aside from selfish mo-
tives will no doubt be the final argu-
ment in many instances that will in
fiuence young men to enter college
for course in veterinary medicine

Summer Complaint

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of al
most every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural looseness
OF the bowels, and 1t is of the great
est Importance that this be treated
promptly. which can only be done
when the medicine is kept at hand
Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y,
states, 81 first used Chamberlain s
Collie and Diarrohea Remedy as much
as five years ago. At that time / had
severe attack of summer complaint
and was suffering intense pain. One
dose relieved me. Other members of
my family have since used 1t with
like results"

energy on the final nights show as is
customary with some aggregations,
but endeavoring to give the public

GASOLINE CONSERVATION

After a careful investigation of the
present gasoline situation, Mr.. van
II. Manning, Director of the Bureau
OF Mines, of the Department OF the
Interior, has issued the following
statement:
One-half of the gasoline used in
the United States zone billion two
hundred and fifty million gallons) is
used in pleasure riding
1t is estimated that the United
States Army will, need three hundred
and fifty million gallons for aero
planes, trucks, automobile tractors
and other machines. There is no
way of obtaining this in this country
except by saving from the existing
supply. and this economy may be eff
fected by voluntary cutting down of
pleasure riding for instance the
man who takes his family out on
Sunday for fifty mile ride can cut
this in half.
1t has been estimated that by econ
omical use enough gasoline can be
saved to supply not only the United
States, but also it's allies for war pur-
poses.
The following suggestions should
be observed by automobile owners:
% Do not allow your gasoline
engine to RIM idle
90 Use kerosene, not gasoline,
for cleaning purposes in the garage.
CD See to it that the carburetor
does not leak. Form the habit of
'hutting off the gasoline at the tank.
(4 By judicious regulation of
the mixture of gasoline and air in the
motor. both greater power and econ
omy of fuel may be obtained.
Automobile owners need not lay
up cars. but should use them either
for trade or pleasure purposes
thoughtfully and judiciously. If
this advice is followed there will be
no undue scarcity, for the United
States possesses an abundant supply
for ordinary purposes.

Our UsefuI Ex-Presidents

Ex-President Roosevelt in Phila-
delphia and Ex-President Taft in
Pittsburgh have demonstrated in the
last few days how well they can use
the prestige of the great office they
have held in urging upon their fell
low countrymen the duty Of standing
by America in this war. Mr.. Roose-
welt Enthusiastically inveighs
against the slackers and urges their
Acknowledgement as a proper penalty
for failing to appreciate the duties
of American citizenship.
Mr.. Taft has been going about the
country as president Of. the League
to Enforce Peace, arguing that the
war with Germany is war against
war, that q Just peace will be last
ing peace, and that America is abso-
lutely justified in giving freely its
men and its money in such a cause.
Both men are periodically serving
their country and are answering as
never before the question, What
shall we do with our Ex-Presidents?

The American Union Against
Militarism

There is an American Union
Against Militarism which held a ses-
sion in Pittsburgh yesterday. It is
supported by several excellent and
well-intentioned people. But in the
support of its proposition that
America is faced by the peril Of mill
tarism Just now, it makes an error
as wide as the Atlantic ocean.
America needs to be as military as
possible because it is fighting the
greatest example Of militarism the
world has seen since the rise Of the
Roman empire
The real American Union Against
Militarism consists of the army and
the navy Of the United States, the
officers who are being trained for
their eountry's service, the new
armies that are to be raised, to-
gether with every man and woman
who is periodically doing his bit for
the cause of America and Of world
wide democracy against Prussian
militarism. Those who do not be-
long to this union are the friends Of
militarism, no matter by what name
they may choose to call themselves.

War Is Cruel

Stephen Crane once wrote a poem
called "War Is Kind" But it was a
bit of savage irony. War is now
pretty well recognized as something
so bad as to be indescribable.
Yet it is not often that one in
America has the savage grimness of
it brought so close as in this brief
item Of Washington news:
The Supreme Council, Mystic Order
Of the Yelled Prophets Of the En-
chanted Realm, opened their twenty
eighth annual convention here today
with 1900 delegates in attendance.
The sessions were strictly business.
War stopped all plans for a big pro-
gram Of entertainment
Now, will you believe that war is
hell?

given to the public and were duly re-
cited on the floor of the Senate at
the time. 1t was remarked then that
if the Senate was going to investi-
gate every accident that might be
caused by a shell explosion among
the millions of shells that may be
fired before the war is over, it will
have little time for anything else.
Following the ordering of the in
vestigation came the series of anony-
nous letters to the Senator. Secre-
tary Daniels declares that what the
letters divulged was partly true and
partly false. The only important
matter is the finding Of the sources
from which naval matters are being
divulged. Senator Frelinghuysen
thinks that zeal for the American
cause actuated the purveyor of infor-
nation. A little more Senatorial ex-
Iperience will convince him that there
may be many reasons, personal, poll
teal, or factional, for the betrayal of
trust by a subordinate. Certainly
there is no present occasion for max
ing a hero of a man who shows that
he is not to be trusted.
With all the important work there
is for Congress to do, and the press
ing demand that it shall be done
promptly, it seems a waste of prec-
ious time for a Senate committee to
be engaging in a fishing excursion of
this nature.

Ter, who lives there, reports the situa-
ton as follows:
In this little village OF Flushing,
on Long Island, nobody knew what
Liberty bonds were two weeks ago.
Today, June /, the subscriptions are
$685., $50, and they are coming in at
the rate of $4,000 a day. am a
member of the committee that is
selling the bonds and the first I sold
were at a meeting OF the Mems Club
of the Congregational Church. A
man there came to me and said:
81 want to buy Eve bonds, one for
myself, one for my wife, and one for
each of my three children" thought
that was fine. Since. then dozens OF
men-and women-have said to US:
81 can't buy many bonds, but do
want TO buy one for each OF my chill
dren." They buy the $50 or the 500
bonds, for the most part, for the
children.
Except for one little lad. who came
several miles to buy a bond of us-a
boy of fourteen, who wished to use
his savings to help Uncle SAM
think this buying bonds for the chill
dren is the finest phase of the bond
settings. When Moses proclaimed

new way is for parents to do such
things that the children must honor
them.
