|SAYS U, S. EMPLOYEES
SHOULD AID FARMERS
s. s. Fletcher Also Points to Health
Benefits Which Accrue From
Country Diet.

In advocating the use of govern
ment employees for a month this sum-
mer to aid farmers. s. S. Fletcher of
1112 Euclid street northwest says:
I'm addition to giving valuable as
sistance toward production the gov
ernment employe who Is willing to
don a pair Of overalls and serve
thirty days on a farm. and who diets
on pure milk. fresh eggs and whole
some and palatable country ham
every morning, will return to his
desk fully repaid for his labor with
health benefits"
Mr.. Fletcher. who Is a government
employe, has planned to spend his
vacation at work with farmer. He
declares that the shortage OF help FOR
farm work will cripple farm pro
duction unless an attempt is mace 10
alleviate conditions.
1T has been suggested. he says.
that the high schools Of the cities
arrange for the vacation to be spent on
the farms. Another idea Is to supply the
farmer with Boy Scouts. Lack OF
experience in the boys Of both classes
would not materially help the stu
alton Another suggestion frequent
ly heard, and which seems to be the
most practical Of all, is for the gov
ernment to insist on its thousands
Of employees who have had past ex-
perience on the farms to donate
their services for a month this sea-
son, and try to harvest and save the
crops instead Of helplessly permitting
any portion Of it to go to waste
"The government employees are Sc
lected. through the CIVIL Service
Commission, from every section OF
our country, and thousands of them
spent former years on the farms and
could now. in time of need. give
valuable service toward production
and saving the valuable harvest
about ready to be cut"

as to make it a. pleasant memory to
revert to as I pass into that more
retired and less strenuous life of our

I'VE may congratulate the school
that the new administration is to
have at its head man as able and
as sane as the new principal, Mr.. Ed

of commendation from me.
His High Regard for Student Body
Mr.. Messer paid brief tribute to
the instructors who have been asso-
ciated with him: and Of the students
he said:
Toward the student body I feel
something like a father whose chill
dren go their several ways. leaving
him to mediate upon his pleasant re-
lations with them here, and to cherish
constant interest in their future well
fare. 1t has been a fine body Of stu
dents who have been enrolled in the
classes of this school during the past
sixteen years, and I have been sur
prised and gratihed at the number of
gifted pupils"
THE question may arise in our
minds at this time" Mr.. Messer said.
'as to whether In these crucial days
there is place for pure art activities; !;
whether all art should be bent to the
needs of the camoufiage, or the war
poster work that has direct and neces-
sary relations to active war activities.
I'VE must not let the intellectual life
of the nation die down in the stress
of conflict. Literature, art, philosophy
must keep their currents freely flow
ing, from the past to the future-a fu-
rot rafA
as In the coming days Of peace.
Come back. then. to your classes.
those of you who do not take part in
the actual and active forces of war,
and faithfully. hopefully and insist
emily do your bit In the helping to
tracted nation"

At the conclusion of Mr.. Messer's
address. Richard N. Brooke, vice
principal Of the school. stepped for
ward and on behalf of the students
presented Mr.. Messer with a hand
some portfolio containing about forty
pupils ito take with him to his new
home as a continual reminder of
friendly faces of those to whom his
instruction had meant much and by
whom he would always be held in
affectionate remembrance"
The exhibition of school work in
stalled in gallery "A" and the small
gallery adjoining 1t on the second

room was inspected with much in

US. SURGEONS IN

Fronts in France and
Flanders.
WIN PRAISE OF. BRITISH

That many medical officers from the
allies is well known and that there
are casualties among them has al
ready been told; but q recent letter
from Lieut.. Gen. T. H. Goodwin of
the British medical service gives an
intimate touch that tells what they
have been doing, and gives a picture
Of what they are encountering now
IN the German drive, where no re-
spect is paid to the hospitals.
The letter, which was to Col. Fur

as. follows:

or neld ambulances, four being gas"

PIE to know how well your medical

In Retreat to Marne.
There Is a general belief that the
casualties among medical officers is
greater than in any other branch of
the service. Lieut.. Gen. Goodwin,
when over here, obtained from Eng
1and and published the PERCENTAGES
OF killed and wounded among Of
dcers OF this class. showing that this
was not the fact.
Gen. Goodwin was with the first
british expedition to go to France
after the war broke out, and he was
with the "drst hundred and seventy
thousand" in the retreat to the
1arne. He took an active part with
the troops, caring for the sick and
wounded In all the campaigns, until
IN the spring of 1917 he was sent to
this country as a representative of
The British medical service to put the
knowledge gained from actual war
experience at the disposal Of the
surgeon general Of the United States
Army.

|BAR STREET SALES.
| BY THOSE UNDER is
Orders by Maj. Pullman Will
Affect Organizations, But
Not individuals.

Children under sixteen no longer
will be permitted to take part in
street sales for charitable or other
purposes.
In response to an appeal from the
Juvenile Protective Association. Maj.
Pullman. superintendent Of police,
decided yesterday that In future
permits for benefit sales on the
streets will contain a provision that
no boys or girls under sixteen will
be permitted to sell the tags or So
licit on the streets.
In explaining why the Juvenile
Protective Association made the re-
quest. Mrs. Edna K. Bushee. execu-
tive secretary. stated that the asso-
citation had uncovered recently a
gave way to the temptation to spend
the money they collected from the
sale Of tags, flowers and other
things.
Did Not Realize Danger.
In some cases. according to Mrs
Bushee. the children involved were Of
we'll regulated families, and did not
realize that they were exposing
themselves to the danger Of cultivat-
ing the habit of stealing by spend
ing money they had collected in bene-
At sales on the streets.
Maj. Pullman's order will apply
only to permits issued to organiza-
tions or societies and will not affect
the individual permits issued to chill
dren who help support themselves by
selling papers or other commodities
on the streets.
One of the first cases which came
to the attention of the protective as
sociat!on was that of small boy
who was selling flowers for worthy
cause in a park in the northwest
section. A woman sitting in the park
noticed that the boy made frequent
trips to a nearby drug store.
On one Of these visits he was ac-'
companied by others and emerged
with box Of chocolates. The woman
questioned the child and found that
he had no idea Of how many sales
he had made or how much of the
money he had spent.
Motion Picture Case.
The association learned of another
case in which several small boys took
flowers from a neighbor's yard and
sold them on the street by telling the
certain patriotic fund. A woman who
knew the children heard them plan
ming to buy SNOWFALL materials with
the proceeds of the flowers and then
to sell the snowballs at larger
profit to go to motion pictures.
One member Of the protective as
sociation told of personal expert
ence in which boy came to her
home and asked her to buy a TO-
cent ticket for an entertainment
which his class was to give to raise
war funds. After the child had gone
the woman discovered the ticket
was for an entertainment which had
been given a year before.
Fear that such instances would
start habits in children which would
grow into serious consequences in
later years, prompted the association
to go on record against permitting
children to take part in street benefit
sales.

Courage Is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood man has q

In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or

less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
80 years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. 1t is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,

Kidney disease carries away a large

be done? The answer Is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
