uct OF Germany's system of universal
service, 'c1ean up" an entire company
of British volunteers-and the volun-
teers were as brave as their enemies.
I'm an American, and one American
Is worth ten Germans!" Perhaps; but
a hundred American N'olunteers aren't
worth ten trained German soldiers. l
know it. Universal service is our one
chance of defense. Write to your
Congressman and tell him TO vote for
universal service under Federal con-
troll and give us the one thing that
will save the United States of Amer
lea.
Soldering is now a trade. You run
a business; do you want to hire man
trained for that business, or q man
that, with all the will in the world,
doesn't as yet know how to write an
invoice or make out a sales-slip ?
You're q shoemaker with rush-or-
der on hand; do you seek help from
an experienced journeyman, or go
down the street and solicit the first
man you meet as a raw apprentice?
Under universal service the trained
soldier will cost less than the volun-
teer costs at present, and he'll draw
no more pay. This country Is your
business; then write your Congress-
man and tell him to vote for uni
versal service and secure us, as soon
as may be, a male population one and
all trained and equipped to defend 1t.
Look at the question another way.
You love your country; you're eager
to serve 1t; you leave your work, your
family; you volunteer. But next door
lives q man of different calibre; he is
perhaps in better physical shape than
you are; perhaps he hasn't any fam
ily-ties-but he hasn't any patriotism
either. Well, he may stay at home
in safety: he may lie snug and "eat
hearty" while your valor makes these
things possible for him; you fight in
the field in order that he may get
your job at home. That's the law;

Wife to Blame If Husband Drinks,
Says Druggist Brown of Cleveland,
Who Tells Wife What To Do

ret to him. She saved him from drink
rescued him from his own depraved
self, by giving him a secret remedy
the formula of an old German chemist.
To discharge his debt 30 her and to
help other victims out of the murk and
mlre he has made the formula public.
Any druggist can put 1t in the hands
of any suffering wife, mother. sister or
daughter. Just ask She druggist for
prepared Tescum powders and drop q
powder twice day in tea. coffee, milk
OF any other drink. Soon liquor does
not taste the same, the craving for it
disappears and 10, one more drinker is
saved and knows not when or why he
lost the taste for drink.
NOte.--Tescum, referred to above,
should be used only when 1t Is desir-
able to destroy all taste for alcoholic
drinks of every kind. The wife who
approves of drinking In moderation and
believes her husband safe should give
ID only when she sees, as most do In
time, that the danger line is near. Since
this formula has been made public j..
Nelson Clark, and other druggists hav q
flied 1t repeatedly.

PAY HIGH FOR HORSE SENSE

British army officers have been
careful in selecting horses since the
Boer war;" George M. Wilson, vet
eran horseman of the Northwest, told
the Spokane Chronicle. Western
men, when they want to ride, get on
horse and ride him whether he has
been broke or not. The British bought
American animals of this variety dur
ing their South African war and it
is an open secret that their soldiers,
instead of fighting Beers, were break
ing horses
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Oregon could furnish the u. s. gov
ernment 10000 army horses, if they
were needed, Mr.. Wilson said.
''At present prices they would cost
in the neighborhood of $125 apiece"
said Mr.. Wilson. This would mean
S2,500,000 for army animals from
this section. These would not be the
standard stock demanded now by
government buyers. but would be SER
viceable animals. Our government S
rules for selecting army horses are
the most difficult to comply with OF
any nation on earth, but in my opin-
ion they do not bring in as good
a mount or artillery horse as the
stocky built animal of the west"

Druggist Brown also says the right

State Schools Aided.

A Jackson dispatch to the
Times Picayune states: Prof. T. j.
Hubbard, director of vocational
education in Mississippi, and con-
nected with the department of ed
ucation at the capital, has re.
turned from Washington, where
he went a week or more ago to at,
tend a conference of those engaged
in the same line of work, and re-
ports that he got what he went for
the acceptance of the Mississippi
plan for the use of the funds &C
cruing to the State under the
Smith Lever bill. Some $50, DOC
will accrue to the State of Missis
sippi under this act for the year
1917, $15, 900 of which is available
at once, and the balance to come
in later, $500 at IA time. This
fund will be used by the agricul
tural schools and colleges to the
best advantage-in a way that i:
endorsed by the higher authorities
1t develops that the government
now wants from POO, 900 to 800, 00(
artisans and skilled mechanics, an(
the agricultural colleges of the lane
must supply them. Night an(
Sunday schools are to be conducted
over the state, wherever a class cal
be formed, and in the course of
year or two the skilled men needet
will have been furnished through
this vocational training.

without dependents to interfere
with their service. Il is estimated
that nearly half the men Mill fall
into this class, which ought,
therefore, to number over a, 0OO.-
900. Of those examined about
80 per cent are likely to be re-
jected because they are unfit
for military service. The re-
quirements on this point are not
as severe as on the first eXamlna-
ton, SO that it is likely that a
larger proportion of fit men
will be found per thousand, but
not very much more. 1t is safe
to estimate the number Of men
suited for military service in ev-
cry respect will be at least
900, 900. The country can, Of
course, if it becomes necessary,
take men of the second class who
have dependents, or those who
have come of age since the regis
tration in June, or it may extend
the limit of military age, as has
been done in all the belligerent
countries. There is no lack of
man.power in the United States,
it will be seen, but the present
indications are that the War De-
partment will not 90 beyond the
first class listed on the roll.
The only unsettled problem in
this matter is as to the negroes
secured for the army during the
first draft, of whom some 10000
were called to the colors, but who
have not yet been sent to the
camps. Most of these men, ex-
amined by the local boards, and
by the medical boards some
months ago, and pronounced fit"
for military service, have been
summoned before the boards
again by the questionnaires and
will be subjected to a second
physical examination. There has
been no explanation of their
status. whereas many of that
small fraction of negroes who
were in exactly the same status
were ordered to the camps in Oc-
tober and are already in France

ments on the front. = imes-P Plea

Opportunity for Great States

A rumor tioated around Wash.
ington a few days ago to the effect
that the Congressional investiga-
ton, showing objectionable delays
in the War Department, would re-
suit in the resignation of Secretary
Baker, and probably General Gro
zier, and that there was a proba.

be made Secretary of War.
We are afraid that such rumors
are of the kind once described as

what a blessing it would be if Sec.

described by an able attorney who
has known him for years, as ''the

Howard N. Scales Promoted.

A Jackson dispatch of December 25th
says: Information which has reached
here from the War Department lndi-
Gates the successful advancement of a
worthy and deserving young officer in
the military service. This information
is that Howard N. Scales. formerly cap
tain and adjutant of the first Mississip-
pi Infantry, now the One Hundred and
~Fifty-titth Infantry, has been advanced
to the post of brigade adjutant, with
the rank of major. Major Scales was
one of the men who worked faithfully
and zealously for the up-bullding of the
former First Mississippi to a. point
where it won the reputation under Col
George Z. Hoskins as one of the most
efficient national guard regiments in
the federal service.
Major Scales has been detached from
his regimental position and will report
at once to Camp Beauregard for brigade
assignments, where most of the Missis.
sippl volunteer units on this hemisphere
are located.
