Ben Cherrington, army Y. M. G. A.
secretary at the recent reserve Off
GERS training camp at the Preside,
San Francisco, has a cheering message
for the thousands of mothers and ia
theirs of men called under the draft
into the new American army. Mr..
Cherrington was with these officers
all through their three months period
of intensive training. He came to
know them as if they were brothers.
He lived their life, enjoyed their pleas
ures and knew their troubles. 1naS-
much as these officers will be IN
charge of the men of the new army
his opinion of them is quite import
ant. Here is what he says:
Under Good Influences
After three months of close on
tact with the officers and instructors
of the reserve officers ironing camp,
during which time I have had ample
opportunity to observe the high stand
ards which have been constantly held
before the men of the camp, both by
example and precept, and after wit
Messing under most favorable circum-
stances, the splendid reaction Of the
men in the camp to the ideals which
have been set before them, l can only
look forward to the converting of the
cantonments of the new national army
with a spirit of hope and optimism.
The men go from the camp, not only
prepared for efficient military leader
ship but thoroughly aware of their re-
sponsibility for conserving the moral
welfare of the men under their COM
mand.
No Fears of Camp Life
Il am convinced that the vast ma
jority of the young men who will be
drafted into the national army n
tonments will be living under more
wholesome conditions both physical
ly and morally than before entering
the camp. 1t will be a privilege for
any young man to serve under the
command Of the type of leaders the
reserve officers training camp has
produced. If the civilians will only
the government half way by pro-
viding as wholesome an environment
for the men in the communities sur
rounding the camps, parents need have
little fear regarding the moral peril
to camp life which hereto

European Water Transportation.

Water transportation in Europe is
more expensive than rail Transports
ton. For 1905, for instance, the wa
terways of Prussia showed a deficit of
$3,523 a mile, while the railways yield
ed a net profit of $1,814 for every mile.
The Prussian government, consequent
ly, uses the railroad profits to offset
the waterway deficit.
None Of the canals Of Europe and
but few of the rivers serve economi-
cally as carriers of traffic.

WILL MAKE
The BEST OF
!. FIGHTERS
HOW THE YOUNG MEN WHO EN-.
TER MILITARY SERVICE ARE
TO BE WHIPPED INTO
PRIME CONDITION
By GEORGE MARTIN

-e -
WASHINGTON-With the 34.350
draft rockies in or nearing the coun-
try's environment training camps to-
day, .the task of making them over
into fighting men began.
The first thing every recruit did
on reaching camp today was to take
a bath. From the bath houses, one by
one the boys were taken before the
medical examiners of the regular army.
AS a result of this final and most rigz
id physical test, many of the boys who
closed the door on civilian life and
left lonely mothers, wives or sweet
hearts inside less than Sc hours ago
will be back home tomorrow, maybe
tonight.
Fight the Germs First
Those who pass the physical test
will be vaccinated for typhoid, para
typhoid and smallpox. Recommends
tons will then be made to company
commanders for special exercises for
each individual to correct n slight
physical defects. The first two weeks
Of training will be occupied almost
entirely with these special exercises,
light setting up drills and physical
schooling of the young soldiers-to-be.
During the second two weeks regu-
lar training will begin. The rigorous
work will be increased gradually. wThe
division surgeon and his assistants will
keep a watchful eye on the general
physical condition of all the men.
Thorough instruction in personal by
giene, sanitation and first aid will be
given them during the first two weeks.
As Sound as Nuts
These boys in short, will be put into
the best physical condition they ever
were in in their lives. Should any
thing intervene to keep them from go
ing ahead towards France, after their
three months training, they will re-
turn to civil life sound as nuts, ply
sically hard and fit for any work.
AS they arrived at environments to-
day, the men were assigned to sections
of the camp reserved for recruits from
their own local section of the division
al area for which each santonment is
established. In other words, the men
who know each other and who come
from the same states will be put to-
gether.
Among Fellows They Know
AS other shipments arrive Septem-
Der 19, INT later, the same rule will
be followed, SO that when the entire
first draft of 687, 900 men are finally
in camp they will all be among fellows
they know. AS soon as all the men
are in camp however, those from the
same town will be separated, though
they will remain in the same sectional
division for the greater part of the
country from which they came.
This will be brought about by the
segregation of men by occupation. Ac-
pations have been they will be trans
ferred to different branches Of the SER
vice, such as artillery, machine gun,
infantry. Thus will be the ~regimental
and battalion organizations be kept
intact, though shifting the makeup OF
the companies to get all the men of
similar ben together.

The stores of Richmond are big enough to

business in the city of Richmond is less than that

WHAT is THE CAUSE OF
RHEUMATISM, LUM-
BAGO AND GOVT?
By Valentine Mott Pierce. NJ. d.

Ever since Scheele, in 1775, discov-
cred that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been max
ing experimental investigations and
il is the almost universal opinion of
cur best medical men that the pres
ence of uric acid in the system in ex-
cess is the cause of rheumatism and
govt. When the urate salts are preci-
tated out of the blood into the solid
iissue-structure the person suffers
from govt or rheumatism in the mus
Giles and joints or suffer from
lumbago and pain in the back
muscles. The first aim of the sufferer
should be to get rid of the uric acid,
which, In excess, is poison, and to

Anuric will do no harm to the system
and will carry off the uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys. Then tincture

seed poultices may be applied to
soothe the local symptoms. But most
important is it for the sufferer 10 abb

that it dissolves uric acid as hot

Loyalty of the Aliens.

The expression of the German American resi-
dents of this city and of the editors of the big
German dailies shows that in the crucial test of
their loyalty they have proved their past prom
Uses by their acts, for almost with unanimous
acclaim they say they will be loyal to their
adopted country. Their sympathies may have
gone out to Germany in its conflict with the
Allies, but now since their own country has
broken with the Kaiser, they will be loyal to the
United States. A harder test of their patriot
ism could not have been given them. The stand
they have taken proves that America is melt
ing-pot in which the races of Europe are melted
into new people, dedicated to the principles of
liberty, and consecrated to republican form of
government.
