U. S. Shipping Board
Recruiting Service

In the window of the Rexall
Drug Store on Carthrge Avenne
there is displayed double page
advertisement from current
issue of great national weekly
that brings the war on the sea
directly home to this section,
and to the store where the ad-
vertisement appears. The pro-
prietor of the store'has a person.
al interest in the advertisement
also, for it relates to war work
that he is doing for the Govern
ment. furthermore, he helped
pay for it, and the cost Of the
"ad" for the single issue was
$1O,OOo.OO.
The advertisements asks for
so, 900 men, between FL and 80,
for service in the new Merchant
Marine. In the language of its
headline, it offers 100000 jobs at
sea" to clean cut young Ameri-
hans. 1t states that the U. S.
Shipping Board will give them
special training before putting
them into actual sea service,
carrying supplies to our armies
and Allies IN the fighting fields
of Europe. So much Importance
is attached to this work that
men accepted for it are exempt
ed from call to military duty.
The advertisement relates
further, that "the REXALL
STORES throughout the United
States, nearly 1000 of them have
been designated by the Govern
ment as enrolling stations for
the U. S. Shipping Board. At
these stores, right in their own
home towns, young men may
sign on for training and subse'
quent sea duty in the U. S. Mer-
chant Marine.
The personal interest of
Mr.. Leslie, in common withother
REXALL druggist, IN this
striking war announcement, is
contained in the conluding
words Of the advertisement,
which are: "This use of the
stores and the expense of this
advertisement are a contr;bu-
ton by the REXALL STORES
to the cause of Liberty.

Dogs SCENT AIR RAIDS.

A curious feature of the recent
air raids over England has been the
rapid detection by dogs of the pres
ence of hostile aircraft. Bomb
dropping at distance of three or
four. miles always causes the dogs
to bark, and it is oily on these oc2
casions that the large number of
dogs kept in the neighborhood is
realized, for the chorus of resentful
barks is remarkable. 1t has been
noticed that bomb-practice, gun
practice and the hum of British
planes much nearer home do not
disturb dogs to any extent, and it
appears certain that the animals un-
derstand that there is danger about,
even when it is not in the immedi-
ate vicinity.

Easy
By Congressman Keeting

Washington, D. C. MayIo.-Sec'
retar of Treasure McAdoo announc-
es that Uncle Sam must raise more
money through taxation and the
hopes of an early adjournment OF
Congress have gone glimmering. We
expected to get away from Washing
tom before July I; now we will be
luckv if we reach our homes by Oct
ober Ist.
You can rush any kind of legistla-
ton through the House and the
Senate except tax on wealth. ASK
for a million men and the necessary
law will b. enacted in week. De-
maud FIVE billion in bonds and the
members will not waste a day in de-
bate.
But suggest that the tax on in
comes and excess profits be ralseo
to the English standard-thus add
ing about three billions to the annu'
al income of the government-and
you will find the reactionaries with
their back to the wall prepared to
battle to the last breath.
Congressman Claude Kitchin, the
Democratic floor leader, is opposed
to the further taxation of the nee.
essaries of life and insists that the
burdoAsA )uld be placed squarely on
the shoulders of wealth-every citl-
zen of the Republic contributing in
proportion to his ability to pay.
The Republican leaders are much
more conservative. They have
ever enthused over the income and
cesspro6ts taxes. They would 1e
ling to accept almost any kind
substitute. The fight will be an
teresting one and out of it may
come the issues of the next presi.
dental campaign.

NO HIGH COST OF LIVING
Practically Everything Necessary
Grows wild and in Abundance in
Amazon Basin.

One of the most interesting ex-
plorations of modern times is that
which the University of Pennsyl-
vania has conducted in the Amazon
basin. Many of the wild tribes in
that unknown jungle region were
visited by white men for the first
time when the expedition reached
their villages. Nearly all of them
treated the scientists Hospitality,
many of them erecting special huts
and offering all possible aid and in
formation.
These Indians of the South Amer
ican interior are now for the most
part in the same condition as the
North American Indians were dur
ing the early Spanish exploration of
this country-that is, they have not
yet been corrupted or diseased by
contact with civilization. Most of
them are remarkably healthy and
well developed. They live largely by
hunting, fishing and gathering the
fruits of the jungle. Most of them
cultivate nothing but cassava, which
is a staple food among them. The
development of agriculture is
checked by the fact that almost all
materials grow wild in abundance.
There is even species of wild cot
ton which the women gather and
spin. Houses are built of poles
thatched with palm leaves. Many of
the Indians sleep in hammocks
woven of plant fiber. Their way of
life is surprisingly cleanly and sani-
tary. Indians of the Parikutu tribe,
for example, bathe several times a
day, using bamboo scrapers in lieu
of Turkish towels.

Baby Registration

The United States Govern,
ment, asks, through the Child
ren Bureau and the Child well
fare Department of the Woman's
com m1ttee of the Council'of De,
fense. that every baby in Amer
ica be weighed and measured
this month, and the weights and
measures recorded on the cards
the Child's bureau provides for
that propose. In Meade County
the w. C. T. U, has been desig.
mated by the Government as the
organization to have charge of
registration. Watch the papers
for date of registration.
The toll of war has now been
figured out to be about two kill.
ed out of every hundred men
who go lover the top. Since
we have been at war, fourteen
out of every hundred babies born
pass away before the frs, year
% that the soldier bravipg; eF'
posure, disease, and danger has
seven times the chance of life of
every baby. Unless some atten'
ton is given this fact, the NOR.
tality figures will go higher.
OF the 2O,OOO,OOO pupils in
school in the United States, from
30O,0O0 to 100000 have organic
heart disease; 100000 have
curvature of the spine, 1000, 900
have defective hearing; 5000, 900
have defective vision; 5000, 900
have enlarge tonsils; in fact it is
estimated that at least IS, 900, 900
