WILL REPRESENT ALL THE
PEOPLE.

To the voters of Jefferson County:
Due to the time given the Liberty
Loan campaign and the critical con-
ditions that prevail in many sections,
due to influenza, it viii be impossible
for me to see any considerable number
of voters. | take this means then of
asking your support on the 9Th of
November. | ask this regardless of
what party you are affiliated with. If
elected it will be my highest ambition
to represent all the people and serve
them as best / can, regardless of their
politics. Great questions will arise
out of this war and the days of re-
constructions viii be momentus ones
in the country's history. The proper
protection of the peoples interests
during these trying days will be of
such vast importance that one is justi-
fed in losing sight of party lines, and
voting for the one that he believes can
best represent the interests of the
whole people. If you believe that ]
measure up to this test, and can give
me your support, viii be deeply
grateful and dedicate my time and my
self to the service of all the people.
Resptfully,
ct. B. H. HINER.

Psychology Of War
On Women's Dress
BY LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
Y. w. c. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.


"Work while you work and primp
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to
her new duties brought about by war
has come to woman the knowledge
that to succeed in business she can
not think of her clothes during office
hours. The old fashioned idea that
woman is always clustering about her
dress Is rapidly being killed in action.
If the business women are to meet
the demands of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise of
their past achievements, the stand
ards of the average woman must be
raised as a means thereto, and the
raising of standards means sensible
dressing To appear at the Office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp-
ing attitude; to work all day with one
eye ON the clock and the other on the
mirror, had a tendency to lower stand
ards. Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business women have been fer
menting for some time One clever
woman has even gone so far as to
work out the fact based on a canvass
and statistics that the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primplng during Office hours did
not get her salary raised.
With the coming of the war wOman's
work has been made real, and all
these fermenting ideas are fast being
crystalized. Women have found the
waists that muss on the slightest prov
ocation, like chiffon, and other mate
rails designed for the drawing room,
Impractical for the real work they are
now called upon to do. They have
found that high heels advertise weak
ness, and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think of their feet
In terms of strong ankles and strong
arches. They have discovered, above

Criminal Tonsilitis'

Here's something new under
the sun:
Criminal tOnsilitis!
A San Francisco man who has
pleaded guilty to rifling the mails
alleges in defense not emotional
insanity but streptococcic insan-
ity, caused by criminal tonsilitis.
Does a man feet a mad desire
to rob his nelghbor or set fire 10
a building, or forge check or
hold up a rich merchant-or run
off with some other mans wife?
Perhaps it's not Original sin" or
1.-THE old Adam" in him, or degen-
eracy or habitual criminality, or
even brain lesion caused by a
blow from a hockey stick in his
youth.
Needs Tonsil Out.
Perhaps it's criminal tonsilitis,
and instead of a surgical opera
tion on the skull he needs only a
surgical operation on the tonsils
to make him normal again.
Modern scientists and penolo-
gists long ago agreed a criminal
is nothing more nor less than a
sick man.
Well-streptococcic insanity is
the newest wrinkle in criminal
sickness, and it bids fair to rival,
in the space it gets In criminal
court stenographers' notebooks,
the emotional insanity" made
famous by Harry Thaw and work
ed to death ever since.
A New Defense.
William F. Bollinger, mail
clerk at the Preside, San Fran
cisco, was arraigned on charge
of rifling the mails. His attorney,
Anthony Devote, admitted Boil
fingers guilt and urged in extern
uation that his health, mental and
moral as we'll as physical, was
undermined by diseased tonsils.
"Um-hum, l see," said Federal
Judge William Van Fleet. "a
new defense, Ell? Criminal ton
silitis!"
"Or streptococcic insanity" re-
turned Attorney Devote.
And Judge Van Fleet appointed
committee of medical experts to
inquire into the case. Truly 1t
was a momentous day for the un-
derworld. A new alibi for all
criminals had been born.

tonsils removed.

they candidates for dismissal from the service.
Here's what they found:
Nearly % per cent unfit for to be soldiers be-
cause of bad eyes.
Eight and one-half per cent were found worthless
as gun-bearers because of bad teeth And they had
to be pretty bad if they could not be repaired.
Flat feet, about which heard so much last June,
only knocked out 1865 per cent.
The report likewise shows that only 4.97 per cent
were rejected for blood diseases
tuberculosis, our national scOurge, was responsible
for only 537 per cent of the reflections.
Physical underdevelopment came up with batting
average of 4.06 per cent
Bad hearing got nearly per cent, 1876 to be ex-
ac while heart disease kept 5S7 per cent from going
