Recommendation Made by General s.
3. M. Young

Washington, Aug. Amendment
of the draft law to provide for regis
aration of men between nineteen and
twenty one is urged In a statement by
Lieutenant General S. b. NJ. Young, re
tired, commander-in-chief of the Loyal
Legion and president of the National
Association for Military Training.
General Young estimates the proper
tion of exemptions among the younger
men would be much smaller and out
of 100000 who would be affected by
the amended law approximately 1900,
900 would be fit for military service.
General Young also would have a
provision that none of the men affect
ed by the law could be called into
active military service before reaching
the age of twenty-one.

THE report is not intended to show
the American business man that he
should necessarily follow German
methods, but to present the facts oi

that he may decide which of the meth

small farmers have left their usual en-
ployment this winter TO work in mu-
milton factories. These farm workers are
making more money today than ever
before, and few, if any, will return to
their old work in the spring. The result
will be that in this year of high prices
for farm products of all kinds there
will be a smaller acreage than for many
years. At present farmers arc offering
laborers from $40 to 500 a month, with
room and board, and this figure will
jump by April /. The league is doing

1t is time to begin to think seriously
of the action to be taken in the town
meetings. Where the vote is likely to
be close on the liquor question the
friends of genuine prohibition ought to
be on their guard and not caught by
any still hunts. 1t is easier to pull off
stunts of this kind in comparatively
small towns than in the large centers
of population. The voters of North
field, Mass, were caught mapping few
years ago, when the yes voters were
rushed to the polling place in the last

worldwide reputation for its religious

Germs and Fresh Air.
Rutland News.)

Fresh air is one of the most valuable
articles of household economy. 1t is
to be got by the simple eXpedient OF

people seem to think it is one OF the
most expensive substances in the world,
to judge by the degree in which they
stint themselves in its use. The de

the value of fresh air as a health glver.
The English higher classes are among
the most rugged people i'll the world.
They have achieved hereditary and
good health partly by keeping their
sleeping rooms open to the air. In
continental hotels they are known as
fresh air fends. The continent
cannot understand the strange demand
for fresh air which the Englishman
of the higher class makes wherever
he goes-in railway compartments, in
hotel dining rooms, in public and pri-
i vate apartments of all sorts.
But the same Englishman shows the
effects Of his cultivation of the fresh
air habit in a rudy complexion, an
air of we'll being, an impressive reten.
ton of the glow of youth through mid
die age. He begins life with legs
barred to the breeze. He ends it in 8
room with a wide open window.
The cult of fresh air is fairly ad
vanced in America. But it is not ad
vanced nearly enough. Heed the de
partment of health plea. Open You
windows in accordance with its re
quest. Make every day and every nigh
