We are entering a week that Is
doubtless going to see the passing Of
the selective consumption measure by
the national congress. This Is of vital
interest 10 the young men of the coun-

final personal appeal TO the citizens of
Gary and vicinity in the hopes that
Company F will be recruited to full war

The exact status of the strength of
the company at this time is 121 men.
Several changes have been made within
the past week-some members having
been transferred. and this. with pro-
motions already made and others con-
templated. will make 1t necessary for
us to get practically forty recruits. The
Governor of Indiana has announced that
all transfers and discharges from the
guard have been stopped. due to the
fact that IT is but few days until all
the troops will be in the field. and he

ana infantry. This means that when

RUSSIA QUITS
FOR EDUCATION
iBY UNITED PRESS)

1cUrOSIdu - u1tc w dI1y "
Russia s soldiers are so busy ac-
quiring and education that tney
haven't time to fight. They are
crowding the children out OF the
schools. In many sections they
have started schools Of their own.
Minister Of War Kertnsky has
had tremendous success in mStll-
ling the fight spirit in the troops
actually at the from, but there are
thousands Of fighters who still
roam about freely over Russia or
else have laid down the rifle for
the school book.
Here is Petrograd a Jaeger regl-
ment today opened a ''soldiers
university where fighters are
taught mathematics and history
At Polecon the soldiers have ur-
surped the desks Of children IN
the schools. At Samara the NUM-
tions workers have felt the same
yearnings for knowledge and
have opened schools alongside
their factories.
"Darkest Russia is no more
and the people as whole, now
seeing the light, want knowledge
to guide them in the dazzling
glare Of their new-found freedom.
Extraordinary efforts are be-
ing made all over the country to
back up Minister Kerensky's ap-
peals to make the soldiers fight.
Notwithstanding, this, all trains
are crowded with uniformed men
visiting their families or just wan
dering about.

parture from Petrograd Of the
weekly Vladivostok express.
Scores Of soldiers clung to the
doors, the rails-even the roofs -

told the sight was by no means un-
usual These are the men on
whom the government is now ex-
erting every possible persuasian
to make them see that the new lib
erty they enjoy must be fought
for and won on the battlefelds.
Food difficulties still give tror-
BILE. Official estimates today put
the total Of Russia s wheat stocks
at about 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds a
good supply. But there are tre-
mendous problems in the trans
portation Of this grain.
One other source Of difficulty is
the inclination Of the peasants to
hold their wheat among themsel-
yes and not sell it in the villages
The peasants claim in past years
the villagers have over-charged
them for shoes and clothes. Many
instances are reported here where
the farmers have refused high
prices in the towns-and then
given their produce freely and
without charge to the soldiers. AT
Smoosh, Tambof and Shamlinoff
where villagers were literally
starving for lack Of food, the peas

the farmers to relent and sci

Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to

AS health is irstt aid to beauty this

81 was for many months victim Of
stomach trouble and nervousness. [ had
suered terribly from pains that follow
ed eating. Headaches also would ado
to my worries. Poor digestion finally
brought on nervousness.
"Relief came, however, when I took
the advice of several women who said,
"Take tonoline.'
"Not long after I started the tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to re-
mind me Of the Improvement in my
cndition. And because health is the
quickest way to beauty, the improve
ment was particularly noticeable in my
face.
"What tonoline did for me IdAeMn
"What tonoline really did for me I
cannot say. I am so grateful that I am
very willing to recommend tonoline
pubEclicly.'
Tonoline is a purely vegetablepre-
paration which goes to the seat Of com
mon aladies-stomach and kidney
trouble, catarrhal affections of the mu-
cous mebranes, liver ailments and i'm
purities Of the blood-and quickly re-
stores proper action. Tonoline is being
explained daily to many people at E.

Notice:-As tonoline is a wonderful
flesh builder it should not be taken by
any one not wishing to increase lis
weight ten pounds or more. Although
many reports are received from those
who have been benefited by tonoline

Do you know it is said i've toads in a garden are equal to a hired man in protecting plants from insects This is the reason gardeners do not kill toads, but make them welcome.
 No one can like a toad unless they know how useful he is. he Is so homelsi, nasty. warty and stupid in ap- pearaEice. He puts ordinary people into the shakes from fear. just as snakes and spiders do. and no one can , imagine what he was made so hornely fors
 There is. and always will be. some thing mysterious about a toad, for he is found in cavities in rocks as if he got sealed up in them when they were made and had lived without food for untold ages. But lots of creatures go long without eating. The butter Iiies and the spiders so without eat ing eight months in the year. and so do animals that winter in caves and holes in the ground; and the garden toad only feeds in summer time. and he Will catch more winged insects than a bird.

 I think they got lost from the other flock.
 They looked about the size of our ducks.
