Advice for
Women Only
(By DIR, y. B. COOK.


1t has been said by the late DIR.
S. Weir Mitchell, in his book,
entitled "Wear and Tear, or Hints
for the Overworked," that multi
tudes of our young girls are mere-
Iy pretty to look at, or not that;
that their destiny is the shawl.
and the sofa, neuralgia, weak
backs, and the varied forms of
hysteria-that domestic demon
which has produced untold dis
comfort in many household, and,
lam almost ready to say, as much
unhappiness as the husbands
dram."
How is it best to maintain the
health of the young girl Just
growing into womanhood, or to
prepare the young mother for the
advent of a new member in the
household? In the first place,
girls as a rule do not get enough
fresh air, and should be taught to
take vigorous exercise daily in the
outdoor air. They should take a
cold shower or tepid bath every
day to keep the pores of the skin
open, so that their skin will
breathe as well as their lungs, and
sleep well covered up in bed with
the window open, winter and suns
mer.
To build up and invigorate
their womanIy organs, know of
nothing better than that old tried
remedy made up of roots which
the first Americans used years
before our race inhabited this
country, extracted from Lady
Slipper root, Cohosh and Uni
corn root, Golden Seal and Ore
gon Grape root, with giycerine.
1t was first introduced in ready
tO-use form by DR.. Pierce nearly
fifty years ago, and has since been
sold in larger quantities every
year all over the United StateS.l
1t is known as Doctor Pierce's'
Favorite Prescription and can be
obtained at almost all drug
stores. If the tablets are not OBJ
tainabie at the nearest store you
can easily obtain them thru the
mail by sending Sl.OO to the In
vaIids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. ", and
you can get free medical advice
as well from a specialist by adj
dressing Doctor Pierce.

Resources Taxed to Limit.

In making provision for instructors at
these training camps the resources Of the
War Department have been taxed to the
nearly as great as 1t should be. but 1t
is hoped and believed that many reserve
officers and candidates for appointment
as such, who will be in attendance at
those camps will have special qualifica-
tions to teach certain subjects and In TINS
way be of material assistance to the
regular army officers. This depends SO
much upon the personnel of each instruc-
tion company that the matter must pc
regulated by the regular army ofncer In
charge of each company.
The outline of the entire course OF IN
struction will be prepared in the war
Department and furnished to the COM
manding officer Of the camps. Books;
maps and printed matter in general Will
be furnished by the government. Ihose
who attend these camps should bring
whatever books they possess, put the
| authorized and necessary books for IN
| dividuals will be furnished on arrival IN
camp.
The minimum age of those who at
| tend Is twenty years and nine montns.
This enables the War Department TO
I twenty-one years of age at the end OF
| the training period. The maximum age
is forty-four years. 1t is expected that
students at colleges who are members
1 of the reserve officers training corps
| and who are especially fitted to become
members of 'tthe first 10000" will be
selected by the regular army officer on
duty at the college and admitted to
/ these camps. Such students should
preferably go to the camp that pertains
| to their home states 1t is believed that
| colleges in general will graduate
seniors who attend these camps.
How to Apply.
| Applications for authority to attend
these camps will be addressed to the
commanding general Of the department
in which the appropriate camp is
located. Applications should be ad-
dressed as follows:
To the commanding general. Eastern
Department. Governors Island, N. Y.
| for Fort Ethan Allen, Plattsburg Bar
racks. Madison Barracks, Fort Niagara
Fort Myer, Fort Oglethorpe and Fort

Fourteen Camps Established.

Fourteen citizens training camps
have been established Twelve of these
are located in the most convenient
places with references to twelve pro-
posed division areas. Two of the camps
have been placed at the most conven-
lent points with reference to four other
proposed divisional areas. All of these
camps have been designated for en-
rollment of $500. Plattsburg is dou-
BILE camp, where sprovision has been
made for 5000 men. Fort Benjamin
Harrison. near Indianapolis, and Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago, are to have
1000 under instruction. 1t is expected
that New York and Boston will more
than fill Plattsburg. The chances are
that all of the camps in the eastern
part of the country will be pretty well
filled up. 1t is anticipated, however.
that some of the other camps may not
be filled by men from those sections. In
that case a surplus application for one
of the eastern camps can be taken care
of wherever vacancies occur.
Location of Camps.
The camp of the New England states
will be at Fort Ethan Allen. or such
other point in New England as may
be designated by the commanding gen
eral of the Eastern Department. The
camps for congressional districts Nos.
l to &c. inclusive. in New York state.
which comprises Long Island, New York
city and small piece of territory i'm
mediately north of New York city. will
be at Plattsburg barracks, N. Y.
The camp for the remainder of New
York state and the tenth. eleventh.
fourteenth. fifteenth. sixteenth, twenty
first. twenty-fifth and twentyeighth
congressional districts of Pennsylvania
will be at Madison barracks, n. Y.
The camp for the remainder of Penn
sylvania. which includes Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. will be at Fort Niagara,

Delaware. Maryland. District of Column
bia and Virginia. will be at Fort Myer.

designated by the commanding gen

Tennessee will be at Fort Oglethorpe,

camp for Ohio and West Virginia will

No Pay for Citizens.

The citizens admitted to these camps
can receive no pay under the law as it
now stands. They must be duly enlisted
for the three months period of the camp.
but this enlistment obligates them merely
to serve at the camp and not elsewhere.
The enlistment includes. however. an
agreement to accept an appointment
in the Officers Reserve Corps at the end
of the camp period if such appointment
is rendered by the Secretary of War.
The reason for establishing these
camps at vacated, or practically vacat-
ed, military posts is the fact that the
supply of tentage has been seriously de-
pleted. BY use of these posts existing
barracks and other facilities become
available. At each post tents and tenn
porary structures will be used to ac-
commodate the overflow, if any.

The courses of instruction will begin
May s. The camps will be ready for
the reception of reserve officers and
candidates for commissions on May I.
to these camps and who are found
suitable will be notified to that effect
and may report at the camp at any time
between May 1 and May S. Citizens
selected for admission will receive
transportation. subsistence and uniform
at the expense OF the United States,
although it is believed that most of
them will have their own uniforms in
advance Other articles of equipment
will be issued at the camp.
The national defense act provides
that reserve officers may be ordered
to active duty for the purpose of in
struction not to exceed fifteen days in
any one calendar year, but this period
may be extended with the consent of
the reserve officer. However, the act
further provides that reserve officers
may not be ordered to active duty. even
for fifteen days. unless Congress has
appropriated money for this specific
purpose. There is, therefore, no au-
thority at present for ordering a re-
serve officer to these camps for the
full period of three months on a pay
basis. Under these conditions the War
Department hopes that the officers
heretofore appointed in the infantry.
cavalry. field artillery, coast artillery
and engineer sections of the officers

attend camp under the same conditions
as apply to the thousands of other
citizens who will undoubtedly be
