SAVING UNCLE SANS PAPER.

Mason City Gazette.
Use big denomination stamps and
save paper for Uncle Sam! That's the
latest economy" request Of Uncle
Sam! All right! Go a step further
and save the countless reams of white
print paper, and the tons Of printers
ink and the hours of time that are
wasted in the. government printing Of
fee sending out documents which no
one reads-for instance. Congressman
Pounk's speech urging the appropria-
ton Of few million dollars to make
Tadpole Creek navigable for rafts dur
ing the freshet season of the year.
There Is no person who wastes per-
fectly good print paper with a more
profligate hand than our Uncle SamueE
and he would do Well to look about his
departments for a chance to economize
along this line.

tho entire principle OF an income tax
was in bad repute and the position OF
exceptions at that time was quite ma
tural. Since then. however, the income
tax has been legalized-establiShed by
constitutional amendment Neither
that amendment nor any other part OF
the federal constitution imposes valid
restrictions against taxing the salaries
of state, county or city officers. The
income taxes should be generally and
inlpartia1ly applied, just as the bene-
fits and privileges Of government are
applied.

Gladys Hulette at the Kozy.

Gladys Hulette, who is to be at the
Kozy tonight friday in "The Can
dy Girl" says that there is one ele-
ment which has much to do with the
success of the play.
st is the candy" Miss Hulette de-
clares, pounds and pounds of candy
have been used in this play. The
children devour it eagerly and the
grown-ups are just as bad. Ill tenn
pered children and grouchy extra men
brighten at once as soon as they
MUNICH a few mouthfuls of candy.
I'm supposed to be the one to cheer
them up, but it's really the candy"
But Miss Hulette is too modest.
1t isn't the candy, but the charming
little star, for she makes everyone
happy with whom she comes in con-
tact.
If. the landlord frowns upon you,
or you lose your job, or your best
girl is unresponsive to your ardent
pleas, see Gladys Hulette in "The
Candy Grip and you may get a
good idea how to win out. She abso-
lutely refuses to admit she is beaten
and she never is.

Squeeze the juice of two lemons into
bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white, shake well, and you have
a quarter pint of the best freckle and
tan lotion, and complexion beautifer, at
very, very small cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
three ounces of orchard white for a few
cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant
lotion into the face, neck, arms and
hands each day and see how freckles and
blemishes disappear and how clear, soft
and white the skin becomes. Yes! II
is harmless.

' Eyes a Stumbling Block.

The eyes are another stumbling block.
Circular No. 2G, war department, 1909.
requires that the applicants for the
line of the army and for the signal
corps shall have the following vision
or better: 20-40 for the right eye and
20-100 for the left eye, provided that no
organic disease exists In either eye.
The applicant is tested by requiring
him to read black letters Of various
heights at a distance of twenty feet.
If he is able to read the line in which
the letters are three-eighths of an inch
high he is said to have normal vision.
In the hospital corps and the ord
nance corps the visual requirements
are not so severe as the above.
Defects of hearing are disqualify-
ing. The hearing is tested by having
the applicant stand with his back to-
ward the examiner at distance of
twenty feet. While an assistant stops
one ear the examiner whispers words
or phrases, and If these are heard he
records the hearing as 1920 If the
words are not heard the examiner
walks toward the applicant until the
whisper can be heard and records this
distance as the numeratOr.
The story is told Of an Irishman who.
when disqualified on account of a def
cient number Of teeth, wanted to know
if he was expected to bite the enemy
This apparently makes the require
ments as to teeth ridiculous. but new
ertheless they are most important. The
soldier who must have special food
prepared because he is unable to mas.
ticate is a burden to the army. False
teeth, while satisfactory for civilian
Occupa tons, are not satisfactory for
military requirements
Foot trouble Is one of the greatest
causes of rejection. Every year more
soldiers are discharged on surgeons
certificate of disability because Of foot
trouble than are discharged for pulmo.
nary tuberculosis. The most common
cause Of foot disability is fiat foot.
The total discharges for disease in
1912 were 1869 or 1343 per 1000.
This is a very low rate, but when it Is
considered that many Of these were
discharged for conditions which ex-
listed befc"e enlistment 1t is at once
apparent that il it had been possible
to detect these cases before the gov.
eminent had gone to the expense OF en-
listing and training these soldiers
considerable saving might have been
made OF sixty-nine cases Of fat foot
during 1912 only two developed after
enlistment. In Two years from com.
paratively small army the equivalent
of an entire company of men was dis
charged for this one disability.
Mental diseases and alcoholism must
both be looked for by the examining
surgeon, but they are less easily. de-
tected than some, Of the other condi.
lions already mentioned.
In general the surgeon must examine
carefully for any evidence Of disease
and then. bearing In mind the common
causes Of discharge for disability, make
up his mind whether the applicant is
qualified or disqualified.
