Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and

Our Teachers influence.

1t is amusing what things we remem-
Der from our own teachers: from one,
an anecdote; from another, a scrap Of
information; from another, point Of
view; from another, a conviction; and
sad to relate, from many, nothing.
They talked to us, let their personali-
ties play upon US, advised us, scolded,
bored, cajoled. Undoubtedly, the sum
of their influence went to make us diff
ferent from what we should have been
without it; yet often the last thing we
remember about them is the facts they
taught US. The one who made us work
hardest may be the least remembered,
and the one through whose classes we
dozed and dreamed may be speaking to
US clearly still.-Robert NJ. Gay, in the
February Atlantic.

THE SECOND DRAFT CALL.

The first movement of troops 10

call began today. Fifty thousand CT

cred ito environments during the five
day period, beginning March 80. wall
be credited to the second Increment OF
100000.
Seventy thousand Of the men which
were moved today are white and 25,-
900 colored. Every state in the Union,
except Iowa and Minnesota, were rep
resented in the movement.
The arrival of these men at the vari-
Gus training camps still will leave the
first draft incomplete by approximate
ly $4,000 men, 1000 white and $1,000
colored The states which have not
been called upon to complete their
quotas under the. first draft call ara
located in the south and west. The
remaining selectives will be indicted
into military service under special
calls.
The training of drafted men under
the second call will be much more
rapid than with the first draft army.
Drafted men now are assimilatod into
organizations which have been under
training for some time. This fae!ii-
tates the task of making soldier out
of raw recruit.
Six months time was figured on as
necessary for preparing the frs:
American troops for the final train
ing abroad. This can, it is said, be
reduced to four months.
