FOR 2l,750 OFFICERS
Reserve List to Be sSwelled. War De
partment Officials Announce.

The War Department last night issued
call for 2.75o reserve officers of the
United States army. This number prob
ably will be secured within sixty days.
the department announced, by the ap-
pointment OF at least fifty reserve
lieutenants and captains from each of
the 43S congressional districts.
Less than 1000 reserve officers of the
line have been commissioned up this
time. but officials said this is due to the
lack of understanding as to eligibility
requirements. Reserve officers have no
connection with the National Guard and
under the law. they can be used only in
volunteer regiments raised for war. or to
MI war time vacancies in the regular
army.

The Washington herald., 1917-03-04

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliv-
erfng a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt a pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and 1t was not
long before the young man noticed
the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear truss throughout life
or submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia operations,
with anaesthetics, etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, 1t
is well established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes worse
than ever.
Afraid OF Operation.
Like most others, Mr.. Pullen de-
clined to take the risks of an opera
tion; the expense and loss of time had
70 be considered, too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourage
ment. he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow, gave him even
less hope. 1t was pointed out to the
young man that unless the rupture
were perfectly held all the time or
the surgeons knife successfully used,
ling in the rupture with further COM
plications. or the dreaded stranEulat-
cd hernia which kills so many rup-
tured people.
Victim Of Trusses.
The victim bought a truss. a hard.
Bpring-like affair, the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an
other-still no relief. He was COM
PEELED to give up his express busi-
mesa The hard tasks OF ordinary men
were forbidden him. He became an
insurance agent. in which position he
did not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses. hard.

TELLS HOW TO COMBAT WORM
THAT DESTROYS LOCAL KALE

H. B. Carroll, county agricultur-
list, issued today the following bull
letin of information baout methods
of combating the cabbage worm,
which destroys kale plants in the
Lynden district:
Lately numerous inquiries have
been received by this office as to the
best method to be employed in com
batting the cabbage worm which also
destroys kale plants.
For the older plants the regular
arsenical sprays may be used, adding
a little soap to aid them in sticking,
The leading arsenicals compounds
of arsenic) are Arsenate of Lead,
Paris Green and White Hellebore
White Hellebore is the best arsenical
to use as it is not injurious to vege-
tables, it being a vegetable powder
made from the roots of the White
Hellebore plant. This powder can
be used as dry spray or mixed with
water. In water four ounces of the
poison is mixed with two or three
gallons of boiling water, one ounce
of glue or thin flour paste can be
added to make it adhere. Apply to
the plants by means of spray pump
Many people allow worms to des-
troy their cabbage and kale plants.
because they think it is unsafe to use
them after they have been sprayed
with an arsenical poison.
Professor F. H. Chittenden of the
U. S. Bureau of Entomology says,
There are no authentic recorded
instances known where persons or
animals have been poisoned by eat
, ing cabbage or kale treated with an
arsenical.
4 According to Professor Gillette OF
Colorado, twenty-eight cabbages
busted in the ordinary way would
have to be eaten by human being
at one meal in order to produce
poisonous effects.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

This year, the Lynden High School
is making two progressive changes,
student government and supervised
study. Instead of seven forty-fiye
minute periods, the day is divided
into one forty-five minute period,
and four seventy-minute periods OF
supervised study. Under this plan,
thirty minutes are used for recit-
alton and forty minutes for the nee
essary explanation and study OF the
next days lesson. Much of the work
is thus done in the classroom. What
remains may be finished in the vac
ant period and at home.
The high school enrolment has
reached one hundred and twenty stu
dents. John Van Wyhe, Kenneth
Pope, Doris Gale, Raymond Wilson
and Clyde Wilson were added Mon
day. A few who are working on the
farms may come later.
Tuesday, each class elected two
representatives, who with Superin-
tendent Fisher, drew up rules for
self-government.
The members of the Epworth
League entertained the teachers at
an informal reception Friday night.
The following officers were elected
Monday at the Senior class meeting:
Mary Lewis, president; Genevieve
Wolfe, vice-president; Thressa Rich
baw, secretary; Herbin Benson, treas
urer.

Its tale of ruin tells.
