NATION MUST CON-
TINUE TRAINING MEN

While the United States is training
millions of men for military service
during the war, it must continue train
ing youngsters for national civilian
service for the commercial war that is
to follow the present conflict. Gov
eminent officials, including President
Wilson, Secretary Baker, Secretary
Daniels, Secretary Houston, and heads
of other departments, have foreseen
a shortage of trained men to fill neces-
sary civilian positions after the war.
They have urged colleges and univer-
stiles to continue training men for
this postwar service. They have ad-
vised youngsters just finishing high
schools to fit themselves as soon as
possible for some special work. A
prediction of this shortage of spe-
cialists was made last spring by high
government officials. Already the
shortage which they foresaw is mani
Testing itself in the demand for train
ed men.
DR.. ]. C. Written of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture,
who in his quarter century of service
in the institution, has. observed close
ly the demands for men trained in ag-
riculture, particularly, said recently
that the demand for men and the sal
aries which are offered are greater
than the supply, and far greater than
they have ever been before. Accord
ing to DR.. Written, various educa-
tional institutions are needing help,
and they are not expecting to obtain
the requisite number of men with the
usual amount of training and ex-
perience. The call is so great that
they are glad to accept men who give
good promise, even though their train
ing and experience is somewhat below
the usual standard. Some of these
positions which are open in these ed
ucational institutions were made va
cant by more attractive positions
others have been created by war
time necessities.
J. d. Elf, who is in charge of vo-
cational training in Missouri, has re-
Gently stated that very few teachers
are available for giving the vocational
training in Agriculture which has been
made possible by the Smith Hughes
Act. Mr.. Elf says that the need is
so urgent that unusual inducements
ought to be made to secure larger
number of candidates trained for this
field work.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who haveeweak
stomachs need to be especially care
full and should eat slowly and rnasti-

important that they keep their bow

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
IL Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil aud tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t. is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
