New York.-This thing Of adopting
one of the boys in the trenches may
be all right for the women, but Gus
Hartman, a janitor in the Essex coun-
ty courthouse at Newark. N. j., is at a
loss to know just why or how he
should go about it. Some time ago he
contributed to fund to buy comfort
kits for the soldiers, and his name as
"Gus" Hartman was placed on card
in one of the kits. Soon he received
the following letter:
"My Dear Miss Hartman:
sit is very strange that not until
now did discover your name con-
cealed in comfort kit given to me
by my district board. Nevertheless /

FOR UNIVERSAL DRILL
National Army at Camp Grant
Favors Measure.
Vote 4,6ot to 1856 for the Military
Training of All Boys OF
Nineteen.

Rockford, nl.-The Eighty-sixth d.
vision of the National army emphat-
fcally advocates universal military
training for young men. By the "di-
vision" is meant not its officers but
its enlisted men-its privates, SER
geants, and corporals-men taken from
civil life in the last three months I'M
der the selective service act.
The first sergeants of 35 companies
and batteries have polled their men
on the question and have reported the
results.
The question asked was:
''Do you think all young men should
have at least six months military
training when they reach nineteen
years of agew
The return cards show these totals !:
Number of men favorable, 4,601.
Number of men opposed, 1876.
One side of the card was left blank
for further information or remarks"
What was written there showed the
reasons for the vote. The emphasis
was about equally divided between the
benefits to the men receiving the train
ing and the protection of the nation.
The geographical source of the unit
whether it came from the congested
areas of Chicago or the open hills of
Wisconsin-seemed to make no diff
ference.
The question was put before the
men on it's own merits and without
argument.

CAUSE THIRD OF DEATHS
Heart Disease, tuberculosis and Pneu-

to Statistics.

Washington.-Nearly a third Of a
million deaths reported to the United
States during 1916 were caused by
heart disease, tuberculosis and pneu-
monia.
Figures made public by the census
bureau, predicted on vital statistics re-
garding 20 per cent of the country's
population, show the deaths caused by
heart disease numbered HAITI, tuber-
culosis, 101,S96, and pneumonia, 9S,-
1874.
Accidental deaths numbering 60,071
are ascribed chiefly to railroad and au-
tomobile accidents. There were 1882
suicides last year.

cooTIE TRENCH SHIRT HERE
Vermin-Proof Garment to Be Made bi
Hundreds in New York
Factory.

New York.--A model of the latest
thing in trench fashions-the vermin-
proof 'cootie shirt just been re-
ceiyed here, and the American fund
for French wounded is planning to
turn them out by hundreds at its fac
tory in New York. The ''cootie shirt. -
which is said to enjoy great popularity
among the men in the trenches, is
made of cheesecloth and is dipped in
creosote and other germicidal solu-
tons. Owing to the texture of the
fabric the shirt can be made only by
hand.
