Not a Matter for
Congratulation

Uncle Sam has called for his
youngest and strongest in the Sc
lective draft. Following are the
figures showing the physical fit
ness of our young men.
DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk, director
of the Life Extension Institute,
New York, gave them.
"Of all American young men,
between 81 and 81, examined by
the local draft boards, 29.11 per
cent were rejected for physical de-
fects.
"Of the young men passed by
the boards 5.S per cent were re-
jected at the environments, for
physical reasons. Therefore, of
the total number of men presum-
ably at the zenith of their physic-
al power, (when they should be
in perfect physical condition,)
about one-third, were found not
well or strong enough to fight for
their country.
"Of the rejected men, practical
ly two-thirds, were rejected for
perfectly preventable causes, for
conditions due to bodily neglect.
Many were turned down for
underweight and malnutrition-
say II per cent of the 60 per cent"
he itemized. another II per
cent were rejected for bad teeth.
Ten per cent were disqualified for
eye trouble. The rest were suffer-
ers from tuberculosis, asthma,
nh ftcsr,o Il
ease, ear trouble, kidney trouble,
etc.
Look at that percentage on re-
jections," added Dr. Fisk, return
ing again to the draft figures.
do you know that they are prac-
tically the same as the Civil war?
This is the first national test for
physical fitness in Sc years-and
we can show practically no i'm
provement in general health and
strength. "-Des Moines (Ia) Reg
lister, Feb. 10, 1918.
If we are not going forward we
must be going backward, for we
cannot stand still.
The boys and girls of today will
be the men and women of tomor-
row.
The present generation alone is
responsible for the physical and
mental fitness of the coming
generation.
Is it not high time something
should be done?
DO your bit,"-by beginning at
home, campaign for better
Health. Natures method is at
your service; you will find it in
pure and unadulterated Chiro-
practic.
Do you know Chiroprac-
tic has been known about and
practiced only 20 years?
Do you know that-spinal dis
placements are responsible for 95
per cent of all inco-ordination
(disease) within the body, and the
other 5 per cent is due to skeletal
displacements?
Do you know that-in the Foun-
tain Head School, which is the
Palmer School of Chiropractic,
Davenport, Iowa, there are over
1000 patients adjusted daily?

That Secretary McDavid's clarion

man is not doubted after reading the
bulletin of the Real Estate exchange

Fellow Realtors: We stay -at-homes,

bullets, have pretty soft part to play
in the great drama of life that is now
being enacted on this little planet
"All we are asked to do is to kick
in once every few months with a

loaning a fellow money to keep q

few deluded misers have to be talked
into thus investing.
THE first Liberty Loan luncheon will

hotel. Needless to say, every Realtor

we are not worrying about that in the

is, as is shown on the face of 1t. of pa
triotic as we'll ss industrial interest. Any
new construction on a wide scale, under
taken at time when material and labor
come so high. is first of all a war
measure; the addition to the Keepers
by-products plant is distinctly so.
The four batteries now in operation,
the building of which was begun in
1910, did not cost as much perhaps
as those two additional batteries will
cost. While Mr.. Crawford did not say
what expenditure the new ovens would
involve, industrial experts assume that
IS ,ooo, 900 would be considerably below
the mark. They will probably cost $4,-
900, 900 or more.
The United States Steel corporation
of which the Tennessee company is a
subsidiary, has taken a leading part
in helping the allies to win the war
and in this latest announcement here
has given fresh evidence of it's patri-
cite purpose and its large way of do
