So many fishing parties gravitate to-
ward Pike, N. H., that special interest
attaches to the report that the Lake
Tarleton club has been called to time by
the food administration of New Hamp-
shire. Violation of the baking regula-
tions figured in the complaint and once

troops at home and abroad have broken
the worlds record for health. In the
week ending July 26, according to figures

deaths from disease among the soldiers
were at the rate of 10 per 1000 a year.
That the best record in past wars was
20 per 1000, in the Russo-Japanese war,
shows the tremendous progress made in
military sanitation.

cause no problem of finance in highly
specialized departments was too obscure
for him. There are men of equal attain
ments, no doubt, who can be had for
service on the board and at the same
time command the confidence of the east
ern financial community. When the fed.
eral reserve board was first organized
Mr. Warburg's appointment was designed
to reassure "Wall street" on the point
that amateurs would not control the new
banking system, and that the financial

by publication of a story from ChickA.
sha that a Judge was considering the
advsability Of permitting a man con-

boys who have been in reformatory
for some small wrong, are thus unable
TO enlist, but others who are undesirable
are also eliminated.
