APPEAL TO BOYS
Young Men Urged To Enlist for
! Farm Work.
Schools Asked To Shorten Year
to Seven Months.

w. L. Porter, director of the Boys
Working Reserve. has received COM
munieation from w. e. Hall, national
director of this organization, in which
an appeal is made to boys, their par
ents and educational institutions to
get behind the movement to organize
these young men las an efficient part
of the war program.
With the country already denuded
Of SO per cent of its farm hands, it is
due to be still further denuded. An
appeal, therefore, is made to the boys
to enlist for this work; and to their
parents to permit them to enter this
work in order that the work of garner
ing the farm produce of the country
may go on with undiminished eff
cheney.
Reduce School Year.
A strong appeal is made to the edu-
cational institutions of the country for
a reorganization of educational facili-
ties with view to reducing to seven
months the school term which now
requires nine months for completion.
This saving OF two months time at
the important harvest time of the
year is thoroly feasible, provided all
schools awaken to the necessity of
such a war measure as many schools
have already.
Schools are asked to prolong vaca-
tons in some instances. In others it
is asked to grant vacation period.
But the chief reliance of the reserve.
beyond the hope that the boys will
fall in line quickly for the plan and
offer themselves as volunteers, is that
after this vacation the young men
will return to work with redoubled
energy to make up for the study time
lost in this devotion to the greater
necessity of completing the harvest.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very Injurious, as t
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle. . -.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulSified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a .teaspoonfuI is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.

is FLYERS FAULT
Aviation Accidents Often Due
to Physical Condition.
Some Men Cannot Stand High
Attitudes.
TESTED BEFORE THEY GO UP
Men Are Now Tried Out ON Al
titude in Laboratory.
Being Up Late at Night May
Cause a Crash.

Kansas City, Sept. 5.-The duties of
a flight surgeon, as described by DR..
Sam Roberts, at his home here the
last two days on his way from Love
Aviation Field, Tex, to the research
laboratory at Minneola. L. L, are al
most entirely along line of prevention.
Methods of a year ago are obsolete to-
day. Even the makers of planes are
working toward softening the falls.
at recently saw a young flyer fall
$500 feet without the slightest injury
except a cut lip Doctor Roberts said.
s'He was walking around his wrecked
salvage would be, when reached him.
Physical Condition Causes Accidents.
THE medical service has its own
way of preventing fatalities. 1t has
been discovered more than so per cent
of the accidents are due to the physical
condition of the flyer. entertaining
was responsible for many earlier fatal
titles. We rushed the training to get
our men ready for service abroad.
They were flying sometimes prac-
tically from $50 o'clock in the morn
ing until 9 at night. AS a consequence,
there were many accidents, our sub
sequent experience has taught us to
avoid. Another thing, our boys were
allowed too many privileges; they
were often out late at night and
WOulo get So sleepy lying, Some Oh
them have been known to descend in
some lonely field and go to sleep in
the shadow of their planes. Late
hours have been eliminated.
Some Men Cannot Fly High.
For some men there is grave dan
ger in the higher attitudes. These we
keep in the service, but in low hanging
work like bombing. while the high
flyers are scouts. We don't send them
up now to learn whether they can en-
dure high altitude. We have a way
of testing them for altitude endurance.
We put the man into an enclosed ap-
paratus in which we can decrease the
amount of oxygen at will. Nearly
every man can stand six thousand feet
Of altitude and some can go twenty or
even twenty-five thousand feet. We
can reproduce in our testing apparatus
the air conditions of all the different
attitudes, the subject having the same
kicking to do and buttons to punch
as in ordinary flying. We watch him
precisely the limits of his flying.
Men Hide Their Physical Defects.
"Our greatest trouble is in their
great eagerness of the men to sue
coed: it is likely to lead them into try
ing to cover up their defects. The
flight surgeon makes every effort to
get them to be frank about their wor-
ries. about anything that would tend
to make flying dangerous. After a
fatality, we have to go with the utmost
detail into the mans life for several
days preceding the accident-his mo-
ra1e, his food, his hours of sleep
everything that can help to prevent
another accident.

But You Must Drive It Out of
Your Blood to Get Rid of 1t
Permanently.

You have probably been in the habit
of applying external treatments, trying
to cure your Catarrh. You have used
sprays, washes and lotions and pos
sibly been temporarily relieved. But
after a short time you had another at
tack and wondered why. You must
realize that catarrh is an infection of
the blood and to get permanent relief
the catarrh infection must be driven
out OF the blood. The quicker you
come to understand this, the quicker
you will get it out of your system.
