EDUCATE FOR HEALTH

The large percentage of men rejected for
military service because of physical impair
ment or defect is astounding.
tSixty-six out of every hundred who Of
fered to volunteer during the period be-
tween declaration of war and the draft
were found to be unacceptable and the
same ratio is prevailing among those called
to the national army.
This does not mean that we are a sicky,
low-powered nation, but that the highest
physical standards ever applied to a mill
tary organization have discovered minor
defects and faults which, under less rigor-
Gus examination, would have remained
concealed until they developed into serious
ailments.
The examiners reports and the thou
sands of rejected men bring us face to
face with the necessity Of universal medical
examination and of system of health edtl-
cation in Our schools.
Good health is largely matter of educa-
ton and knowledge of self.
1t is easier to prevent disease than to
cure it and when the danger is generally
understood we will take sensible precau-
tons which will make Americans the
healthiest race in the world.

OUR FOREST REGIMENT.

Great care has been exercised in selecting
men for the forest regiment which will soon
sail for France. Most of them come from
the southern states and all have experience
as lumber jacks and as mill and woods oper-
2tors Wood ranks next to ammunition
and provisions in the work of a successful
army, and to our forest units will fall the
vitality important task of securing an ade-
quate supply of firewood for cooking and
heating purposes for our army through all
OF the coming winter; of cutting great
quantities of poles for telephone wires, for
barbed wire entanglements and for re-
tanning walls in trenches. They will also
cut railroad ties, rough bridge timbers,
props for mines and tunnels, and produce
wood for many other emergency uses Six
thousand specially trained men will COM
a painstaking care that isures most eff
cered by practical 1unbermen. Thus is each
unit of our fighting forces being built with
a pinstaking care that insures most efficient
Gent service when American troops take
their place on the firing line.

Y.M.C.A. To OPEN
ITS SEASON NEXT
MONDAY IN CITY

On Monday, October 9Th, the local
Y. NJ C. A. opens its season, and IN
dications point to a large attendance
despite the inroads the war has made
among it's members. Plans for the
work this season are nearly COM
pleted, as General Secretary X: II.
Jennings has been at work on them
for some time.
In discussing the opening of the
season locally, Mr.. Jennings said
yesterday that the effect of the war
will be felt in the Y. M. c. A. work
all over the United States, as many
of the men are in active service, while
hundreds are with the Y. M. {. A.
for the army and navy. :,
Not only have men been taken,
Mr.. Jennings said, ''but vast amount
of money, and large organlzaAoS
has been necessary, and will continue
to be necessary until the closeof the
war To maintain the work at the
camps, and abroad, secretaries from
the regular Y. M. C. AS have been
taken. with the result that there IS
a great saarcity of men to do the
work, which L1ust be kept up, despite
the war.
ain Pensacola we are going to do
the best we can with the handicap
which has been imposed, and feel
confident that the season VIII be
successful one, and that the men will
derive much benefit from the work
here.
Regular gymnasium classes have
been arranged, and owing to the i'm.
possibility of obtaining physlcal
director from the regular staff. Mr..
McVoy of Pensacola will have charge
of the work in the gymnasium.

"Under the Highest leadership
Mr.. Jennings said that the rejection
of so many men in the draft presents
serious problem and one which the
Y. NJ. c. A. will attempt to solve.
The reflections, it is said, are usually
due to the lack of physical training,
and with this supplied by various
agencies, the standard of health OF
the country can be materially
raised.

ate against the farmer WHO raises cotton
and peanuts in favor of the dairy farmer
who does not begin to supply the demand
for his products?
Oleo is not sitting competitor of but
ter. Each has its uses and it's market, each
represents an industry of vital Importance
to the development of West Florida The
producers of each can do much to add to
the agricultural wealth of this section; let
them both progress in harmony, with preju-
dice forgotten, for the upbuilding of West
Florida
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-10-05

With the above was an article by Dr.
Stockbridge, an eminent agricultural au-
thority, chief point of which is that tax
is necessary on oleo to prevent its sale as
butter.
The difference of opinion is wide One
farmer says development of the oleo in
dustry will add to his profits. The other
claims that to give oleo a chance is to de-
stroy an important branch of farming The
housewife says, let oleo help reduce my
expenses.
The farmer who opposes o1eo in his let
ter is broad-minded man, fair and lust in
his opinions But in this instance his vision
seems coluded. He says. Butter should
sell on its merits" bue he denies oleo,
another farm product the same privilege
He would not say, Favor the sale of beef,
but prohibit the sale of mutton" nor would
he protect wheat and prescribe rye
He fears the free manufacture of oleo
would destroy the market for butter, but
this is not borne out by the facts. More
oleo was made last year than eve before,
yet butter was never so scarce and never
so high Oleo will never supplant butter,
and the demand for butter will probably
never again be over supplied.
His argument in favor of development of
the dairying industry in West Florida is
good. There is no reason why it should
iio' oS~oiie d lSddlllS Industry mere, ana
many why it should Oleo has not retarded
dairy farming in West Florida, it never
can. But while we are developing our dairy
farms, it would seem short-sighted policy
not to, at the same time develop the oleo
industry The general farmer is entitled to
the same consideration given the dairy
farmer. Cleo is just as much a farm product
as is butter.
The danger of oleo being sold as butter
is far fetched. The pure food laws attend
to that-no tax could prevent it. Again, the
fact must not be lost sight of that oleo is
being made in greater quantities than ever
before, despite almost prohibitive tax,
yet the butter shortage is greater than ever
before. AS oleo has established it's position
IS wholesome food and is being made and
will continue to be made, why not give the
farmers OF. the South fair chance to profit
through it's manufacture? Why discrimin-
