 Allow me to compliment the people of Judsonia for the in- terest they are taking in the Red Cross work. It is a grand work. As when you donate to the Red Cross funds perhaps you are helping a thousand soldiers in some way. The hospital here has received some things from the Red Cross in the way of med icine and hospital supplies and in this way the entire regiment gets the benefit of it.
 Regards to all. Tell 'em we are going after the Kaiser.

Each company has been increased to 250 men instead of 150, and the regiment now consists of about 3,o00 men. The medical depart ment will also be increased to 48 men and we are expecting some promotions some time this month.
 John and l are both in per- feet health and feeling fine and have gained IS pounds in the last two months. I understand our real war training will begin tomorrow. We have some French officers just from France to teach us Americans how to fight the Kaiser.

 John and l are still in charge of the drug and store room. One of us gets a day off every third day. There is talk of quaran- itne over the entire regiment on account of so much measles and humps.

BILL
PASSES IN HOUSE

The temperance bill, known as the
Horton measure, passed the House last
Tuesday on second reading and Friday
the House again endorsed the measure
when it was passed on third reading.
This leaves the matter to the Senate.
There is another bill in the senate
known as the "bone-dry" law. The
name is claimed by good many to be a
mistake and that the Horton measure
is the dryer measure of the two.
The fact is that the Horton measure
was backed by the state president OF
the w. c. T. IT,, and by majority Of
the w. c. I. U. organizations of the
state. The ''bone-dry" was backed by
the anti. saloon league headed by Rev.
Finch. 1t seems that it is very dicffiult
for Mrs. Hungerford and Rev. Finch to
agree on good many things.
1t is neither fair nor just to charac-
terize either measure as in any sense a
wet law. The efficiency Of either will
only be known when it comes to apply
its provisions. The one best admin
istered will prove to be best. Admin,
istration will and must depend very
largely upon public sentiment.
Two years ago Rev. Finch was ad.
verse to having the dry law too drastic.
A large number were in favor of max.
ing it just as tight and just as dry as
any law proposed by the present legis'
lature, but they did not prevail.
Rev. Finch secured the bill he wanted
two years ago.
Perhaps the unfortunate thing of the
fight two years ago was the charge
that many members were so sincere
that the amendments proposed were
not in good faith, but that some under
the guise of Strengthening the bill,
really hoped to make it so unpopular
that later the entire law could be wiped
out.
Fortunately, little Of that feeling
was injected into the debate this year
Members all claimed too that they were
anxious to get the best workable Law
to stop the sale of intoxicating liquors
as. beverage. Very few feel thai
there is any considerable need for liquor
as medicine, yet few cared to interfere
with its use for medicine, except tina,
they did not wish to make 1t a loop hole
that would defeat the real purpose OF
the law.
The senate has chance to amend OF
pass another bill entirely. Two year,
ago, the two bodies differed and the re
suit was conference to adjust matters
That may happen this time, but in any
event. it will soon be harder for the
bootegger than ii has been.

test is made with each ear. If the man fails to hear the whisper the ext aminer moves closer until the man dis tinctly hears the words. He Is then marked accordingly, such as $40 sig nifies that the whisper is heard five feet.
 Not Disfgured.
 A man must be reasonably normal in appearance so as not to be objec- tionable to his tent mates. He must be cleanly in his habits and be free ments, such as pimples, if they are sore and red, or even acne will serve as a bar to enlistment. Of course, many of these facial desfgurements are easily cured, i but until stheyf are the man will be rejected. The phy- sical examination is by no means easy yet hundreds of thousands of our red blooded young men are passing the 1 test and are ready to do and dare for their country's cause.
 The life of soldier is not one of ease, but the time has passed when the private soldier was bu1lied by his to lead clean life, to keep himself physically fit and to obey orders. A cheerful disposition and the desire to measure up to the high standard of our, army will go far to making life at the front one of happiness and conr ltent, which is always the reward of the man who is willing 10 do his du.y on all occa sions. -557s2s

the examining surgeon as drunken men are unfit to fight and cause no end of trouble in camps. Of course, there are men in our army who drink liquor, but they are not chronic drunkards. G
 Teeth And Feet. [, After the height, weight and heart examinations are successfully passed, the subject of teeth is taken up. False teeth are all right for civilf life, but they do not agree with army food and the man who must have his food espe- cially prepared would be a burden to the army. Consequently the army or der on the subject of teeth reads as follows:
 Unless the applicant has at least four serviceable double .(bicuspids or molar) teeth, two above and two be- low, and so opposed as to serve the purpose of mastication, he should be rejected" If the recruit has the re- quired number of teeth they must be in good condition for teeth with pus at the roots often poison, the whole system and unfit a man for duty. This examination of the teeth caused one man at the recruiting station to in- quire whether he was expected to bite the Germans"
 Foot trouble is another stumbling block for a man with fiat feet'' or
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-26

any other disease of the feet cannot stand long marches. The army mans shoes have been the subject of much study by army surgeons and few cases of foot disease occur after enlistment.
 Eyes And Hearing.
 The eyes too must be good in a man who is to go on the firing line and a rigid test is made. The appIi- cant must be able to read a line of letters three-quarters of an inch high at least a distance of twenty feet. With normal vision the line should be read at forty feet. This test is for the right eye and is known as 2040. For the left eye the same line normally read at one hundred feet must be read at twenty feet by the applicant. This test is known as 20-100. In the Hospital and Ordnance Corps the eye test is not so severe. Men who are compelled to wear glasses are not sent into battle. but do clerical work or act as officers attached to the staff.
 Defective hearing is another bar to enlistments. This test is made by the examiner walking about twenty feet from the recruit who has his back turned. The applicant then has one ear stopped with cotton, The ex- aminer then speaks in a whisper and l if these words are heard the mans | hearing is recorded as 20-20. This

were iron tubes covered with wood and lashedsaround with hemp or hide. They were loaded with alternate layers of powder and infiammable balls. The charge was ignited at the muzzle and flaming balls went forth one after an- other like the Roman Candles of the present day. It was not, however, 'un- til the eighteenth century that the b1underbuss, the forerunner of the present rifle, came into use. Another early eighteenth century hand f1re-arm invention was the seven barrelled flint lock carbine. The breech loader is a descendant of the rifles used in the early seventeenth century by the Danish and Bavarian troops. The, diff flcu1ty of forcing the tight-f1tting bull let down the grooves so retarded the loading operation that a slow rate of fire was unavoidable, compared with the old smooth bore musket. whose bullet was dropped easily into place. The final triumph of the breech loader was probably due to its use in hunting rather than in fighting, and its ac- curacy of aim has since made it, a popular war weapon.
 Artillery.
 The beginning of artillery in the modern acceptation dates from the fourteenth century; gunpowder, as it l is known today, then began to be used in propelling charges and by the l middle of the century the employment of fire arms in Western and Central Europe was more or less general

This table has been careful

This table has been carefully worked out in the Surgeon Generals office. and is adhered to unless in some special case where the recruit is slightly under or slightly over weight, and is otherwise qualified as desir- able soldier. Usually where men diff fer very much from the table above they finally develop some form of chronic disease which may not show on first examination.
 Chronic Ailments A Bar.
 There are. of course, certain chronic ailments which disqualify man at once. such as tuberculosis, Brights dis ease, chronic heart trouble and venereal diseases. Even if the man is an athlete or in excellent physical condition these diseases will finally debilitate him and he is rejected. Acute. bronchitis, typhoid fever, malaria. scarlet fever or measles are only temporary disbarment, as these may be cured and the man becom es as healthy as one who has never suf- fered from them In some cases of this kind the recruit is sent to hos pita1 until he has fully recovered.
 Mental disease is bar to enlistm ent in the United States, as even a man with "a mild mental disorder is likely to upset discipline.

the United States Army"
 The recruiting office determines whether or not the man has the neces- sary intelligence and education to make an efficient soldier. By educa- ton it is meant that he must know the English language well enough to understand and carry out the com mands. After this has been deter mined he is turned over to the exam ming surgeon whose duty 1t is to find out whether or not he has the physical endurance required to carry out the daily duties of soldier and whether he has sufficient reserve force to stand the strain of unusual physical exer- ton; whether or not he is able to carry his rifle and packs and in every way perform the duties of a soldier. He must be able to kneeL, shoot and rise quickly if required. although a slight stiff joint does not always dis qualify him as this can be cured by drills in this line.
 The Question Of Height And Weight.
 There has been much discussion as to the height and weight of soldier, but careful reading of the recruit ing circular from the Adjutant Gen. eral as to weights and heights prac- tically settles this matter. It reads as follows:
