A New Place for orderIiea.

There is evidence that life in the
army has it's humorous side even In
war time. In story that recently
went the rounds of the English press,
a newly appointed officer who was
making his first visit to the mess, with
the usual inquiry of 'any complaints?'
arNved at one mess somewhat earlier
than he was expected, and the order
ly of the day, being taken by surprise,
and In his shirt sleeves, dive1 under
the table to save reprimand.
ANY complaints?" asked the Off
Ger.
The corporal, grasping the situation
at once, answered for the absent Or
derby.
: None. SIR"
"Who is this?' asked the officer, sud
denly catching sight of the orderly un-
der the table.
The corporal again rose TO the situa-
ton.
Orderly of the day, sir" he an
swered.
oh" said the officer, and passed
on.
The next mess were quite prepared,
with the orderly, spick and span,
standing at attention at the head of
the table.
ANY complaints"
"None. sir" answered the orderly.
The officer looked him well over.
"And who are you?" he asked.
Orderly of the day, sir"
"Then why the dickens aren't you
under the table?" was the unexpected
retOrt.

DENTS ARE NOT EXEMPT.
In Answer to Query From Or. Luelus
e. surch, Governor Rye Issues Rui-
Ing Along Orders From Secretary
Baker.

Nashville.-Gov. Rye announces that
medical and dental students will not
be exempt from draft This is in &C.
cordance with ruling by the depart
ment at Washington.
A communication was addressed to
Judge Ewing l.. Davis, chairman Of
the board, from Gov. Tom c. Rye in
response to communication ad-
dressed to him by DR.. Lucius e.
Burch, dean of the school of medicine,
and DR.. Henry w. Morgan. dean of the
school of dentistry of Vanderbilt Uni
versity, in which they asked for the
temporary release from draft service
of all medical and dental students.
Gov. Rye replied that he had received
instructions to the effect that 1t would
be impossible for any such arrange.
ment to be made under the acts OF
congress or the supreme court OF the
United States unless express action
be taken ON the matter by congress.
The important ruling will Of necessity
be of serious import to both the med.
ica! and dental departments of Van
derbilt University, as well as other
universities in the state and south
carrying such courses as these. The
draft service will no doubt take away
from them quite large quota of their
student body that would have returned
next year, some for their second term.
while others even for their third and
fourth terms in these respective
courses.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
'Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone

his wholesale drug house for you.--adv.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase In United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
nlttee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States Is de-
cidedly ON the increase. This fact IL
revealed by reason of census taken
Of the insane, feeble-minded, epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was COM
piled by Horatio NJ. Pollack, statistlci-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April ID, 1910, to January ], 1917. WAS
11.S0 per cent The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was lSI,Io1.
The census taken In the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in In
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase of the
insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona.
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois Is one of the states
in which the disparity between growth
of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 9.S4 per
cent, as compared with percentage
of increase of insane in institutions Of
27.3S. The neighbOring state of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages of AGA and 27.H re-
spectively.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
Of cardboard about three-sixteenth Of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked In
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked In
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that Of an egg in a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound Is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which 1t is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none Of
the inconvenience of crutches, stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
eriy treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.
