Carl Young, an expert in the en-
ploy Of the VIM. Meyer Co., of Chi
cago, was in Linton from Wednesday
to Saturday of last week, installing
and demonstrating the big X-Ray ma
chine recently purchased of the Meyer
Co. by DR.. Wolverton. It is safe
to say that very few towns of the
size of Linton have an X-Ray plant
of the size and power Of the one in
DR.. Wolverton's office. The machine
is rated at seven killowatts;; the cur
rent pressing through the X-Ray tube
is at tension of 100000 volts. With
this equipment it is possible to make
an X-Ray picture of he stomach in
one-half second, and of the heart and
lungs in about half that time; while
for the hess dense parts of the body,
such as the hand and arm, mere
flash of the current through the tube
is all that is required. This machine
will be of benefit to the entire terri
tory tributary to Linton, and will save
sick. patients long tips heretofore
necessary to have X-Ray examina-
tions made.

New Orleans-Scores of young
men, informed by Army and Navy
doctors that they were underweight,
have hied themselves to the Gull
Coast and explained to hotel or
boardinghouse proprietors that the
duration of the war depended upon
their gaining pounds in a certain
length of time.
AT first some of the observation-disclosures
proprietors were unenthusiastic over
the prospects of a disappointed
would-be soldier or sailor and loss
of patronage 20 their establishment
Later according to those who have
returned, whenever a youth, rather
pale and slim applied for board he
was greeted with the question, "how
much do you have to gain and when
must you report?"
ITS easy when you know them -
one clearinghouse proprietor eX-
planned. "They go out and swim
in the salt water, get an enormous
appetite and we feed them coarse
nourishing food, nothing fancy. They
gain several pounds day, some OF
them"
