DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB
AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS
Men Not Subject to the Draft Are Not
Affected by Order in Regard to
Non Productive Labor.

A misunderstanding Of the order re-
latlng to men engaged in t'non-
productive labor" as designated by the
government officials, seems to have
been sent broadcast throughout Keno
sha. This order applies only to men
who are of the draft age and subject
to service In the army. Men who are
now employed in the stores should not
leave their positions until they receive
some call from the local draft board.
Married men who are not under the
draft will probably not be disturbed
in their employment in any way. The
enforcement of this ruling is not as
yet arranged for by the local draft
board and full notice of the enforce
ment of it will be given later. The
best possible advice to these men is
for them to hold on to their jobs until
they find that the government needs
them for more productive labor and is
ready to put them into place where
they can do this kind of labor.

being ladies.
George S. Whyte, president of the
company was chairman of the meet
ing, under whose able guidance the ex-
ercises were complete success and
were most enthusiastically enjoyed by
all who were fortunate to be present.
Several young ladies and gentlemen
formed choir which led the singing
which was accompanied by a cornet,
clarinets and violins. "The Star
spangled Banner" and America, =
were sung by the whole crowd.
The following program was rendered:
1--Bugle Call. Rally to the flagstaff,

The license committee of the common
council is not doing great deal of

city of some of the plague spots that

FOR EACH OTHERS SAKE.

A grizzled Scotch banker In New
York was bidding gOOdby to his son,
q young lieutenant, ordered Overeas.
"Dnd," said the boy, "you could give
me something I'd rather have than
$25,OOO." "Whnt's happened to you,
my boy, that IL big bunch Of money
like that seems trIne?" Nothing,
father, but there's thing you could
do that I'd rather have than all kinds
of money!" "And what might that fine
thing be?"
Then the young man with the single
silver shoulder bur looked his grun-
tender father straight in the face and
said, as II he meant it, dad, wish
you'd promise me to cut out the wills.
Ky while I'm gone" The father bristled
up. "Why boy, you know l never take
too much. You know how little drink
here at home. and don't booze In
business hours. What's got into you,
bOy?"
But the boy persisted until the man
said, "Son, you're going into tempta-
lions you never dreamed of over there.
You'll need all the stiffenfng you can
get to keep straight. I'll promise you
to be prohibition If you'll promise me
not to forget your mother and your
covenant vows"
And father and son shook hands on
It.
When the bankers friends down
town see him refuse to join them In q
monday cocktail or an evening high
ball, they wonder what has come over
him. He is thinking Of the lad who Is
with Pcrshing, and he will keep faith.

ALCOHOL NOT A sTIMULANT.

Fifteen years ago, 1t was believed
by competent scientific authorities that
alcohol to some extent stimulated res
piration because it seemed to cause
an increase in the volume of mir pass.
ing through the lungs, which was
thought to increase the absorption OF
oxygen. In the interval, 1t has been
learned that the mere amount Of mir
that goes into and out of the lungs
does not necessarily measure Its value
to the tissues and the cells where
gases are exchanged. The air must
not only pass into the lungs. but 1t
must get ont into the tissues beyond
the "dcad space" in the lungs. Some
new careful experiments In the nutri-
tiOnal laboratory Of the Carnegie insti-
tuition of Washington. lately reported
by Harold L. Higgins, show that after
taking into consideration all the fac
tors of respiration. alcohol. when given
in way to exclude other factors such
as activity or the digestion Of food,
in amounts of from one to one and
One-half ounces, indirectly acts upon
respiration as depressant. not as a
stimulant. There Is not much, II any
thing. left Of the old stlmulant theory,
and 1t Is time that everybody stopped
using the term "stimulants" as syn.
onym for alcohol.-The Union Signal.
