A Race Of CrippIes,

The military medical authorities
have examined our citizens by the
thousands. The results Of this ex-
animation in many instances; writes
Bernard Macfadden, In Physical Cul-
ture, have been as follows:
Out Of every five examined, one is
considered sound. The other four are
cripples. Some part Of their internal
organisms Is affected. The heart, stom-
ach, lungs, kidneys or some other vital
organ or function is crippled.
For generations the blind have been
leading the blind.
The physical body Is of NO special
Importance. The house in which we
live needs no special attention. II
"just grows" No matter how dirty
1t may be. So long as the dirt does
not show on the surface, there is no
occasion for complaint or criticism.
That has been our attitude.
d 1t Is about time for US to change
1t is about time for US to give the
body its proper appreciation. Learn
to respect 1t, to revere it, to care for
1t as you would for your most preci.

KAISER'S BIRTH CAUSED JOY
Queen Victoria, Upon Receipt of Tele-
gram Announcing Tidings, Could
Not Maintain Usual Dignity.

Anecdotes about the royal family
are usually rather fiat, but here is a
good story of Queen Victoria, relates
a correspondent, the irOnic and ter
rible commentary on which she mer-
cifully did not live to see:
"The queen, whom we had so late
ly parted from in calm dignity, was
flying with the eagerness of a young
girl, and so rapid was her movement,
and so joyous her expression, it was
plain that her suite had much diff
Guilty in keeping pace with her speed.
Catching sight Of a friend in the dis
lance, as she came up the long room,
she suddenly waved aloft a telegram
form that she was holding In her hand,
and called out in triumphant tones,
u%nheedlng the shocked expression Of
her attendants at such unconvention-
atty: Lady Login! Lady Loginl I
am a grandmother ="
Such was the welcome given to the
English queens first grandchild-
Kaiser Wilhelm II.

using it in the trenches? Every sol
der on going to the firing line takes
with him n or more burlap bags.
During the day, as the entertainments
are worn down by continuous shell
fire, these bags are filled with earth
or sand and then at nightfall are
thrown up to repair the parapet.
Here it is not a question Of convent
ence-lt is a question of necessity.
The boys in the trenches must have
first call on the burlap supplies.
The larger bags ever have certain
advantages. When emptied they may
be used to carry crops from the field
to the bin Or crib Il 200-pOund bag
holds two bushels of potatoes. Very
few men ever carry two sacks of po-
tatoes in a single trip, wen though
each sack contains but one bushel,
On the other hand most men can cas-
lily carry two bushels when they are
in the same bag, and hence do this
part of their work more rapidly. SO
1t happens that the large bag becomes
a very real labor saver, and this at a
time when all farmers must cut cor
ners to make most productive a labor
supply all too short.
There are other advantages for the
larger bag. 1t IS much more useful
as wrapping material than are the
smaller sizes. 1t can be cut up for
packing purposes, and used in other
ways. Once q farmer becomes accus-
toned to this size he never returns to
the smaller sizes. Whole states in the
south have for years used nothing but
the 200-pound size.

Can't Lose Glasses.

Military eyeglasses is the contribu-
ton to the field Of war inventions by
DR.. Robert J. James, well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features Of the new
eyeglasses, according to the inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the tightening hold on the
nose, which is injurious to ones health
and comfort, Is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points Of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side Of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate at the end Of
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest On any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as is the case when the
only point Of suspension is at the nose.

An article in the warning for town
meeeing is to see if the town will in
struct its representative to intro
duce legislation necessary to change
the name of the village of Island
Pond to Island Like, Or Brighton
Lake, or othcr suitable name. Here
is an opportunity for every voter to
express his opinion. There is every
good reason to make the change and
none except sentiment for retain
ing the name. There is everything
in a name, especially the name of a
municipality. Whoever named this
village Island Pond had no eye for
the beautiful in nature and NJ esthe-
tic taste or a just sense of the eter-
nal fitness of things. Let's change
the name to one that will convey to
the outside world some meaning of
the natural beauty and the busting
business activity of this progressive
village.

REDUCING SOFT CORN LOSSES.

The 1917 corn crop Is very poor II
quality. Much of it is soft, so soft
that it fails to keep in storage. A re-
cent crop report from the United States
Department of Agriculture indicates
an average condition Of 1852 for the
1917 corn crop owe against an 81 per
cent average for the last ten years
this valuing mature corn at 100.
Early frosts and cold, late growing
seasons are responsible for much of
the soft corn loss in the corn belt. We
cannot control the weather but by
proper cultural methods, we can hasten
maturity of the corn by from n to
two weeks, thus ripening the crop be-
fore the arrival of disastrous frosts.
Cutting short the growing season of
the crop sever to fourteen days will
in the majority of cases, make nine
ears out Of ten marketable instead of
two ears out Of three as during the
past season.
Proper Varieties Essential.
One great cause for the large amount
of soft corn produced Is the planting
of varieties which are not adapted to
climatic conditions under which they
are grown. In our fervor for bigger
crops, we have often gone South for
large yielding varieties which require
longer growing seasons than prevail
in most sections Of the corr belt. Most
Of these varieties are l%arge-eared and
weigh heavily because they contain a
larger percentage Of moisture than our
northern grown varieties, and thus
mislead the farmer but not the grain
dealer, for much Of the grading Is done
on a basis Of moisture content.
Balanced PIantfood Insures Crops.
Perhaps the biggest reason for the
large amount of soft corn produced in
1917 and In other years, is the lack
Of sufficient available plantfood In the
soil to give the crop a quick start to
enable it to take advantage of every
growing day and to properly FIJI the
ears and hasten maturity. All other
conditions being equal the use of sufli-
Cient amounts of a weIl-balanced, avail.
able plantfood viii shorten the grow
Ing seasOn of q corn crop from ten to
fourteen days. This ten to fourteen
days often means "a difference between
q crop Of marketable ears and a crop
which Is hardly worth harvesting

DEMA NDS BURLAP
To Save BurIap, Fertilizers and
Other Commodities Must Be
Shipped in Large-Sized
Bags.

Jute for burlap comes from India
that is 1t used to. Just now this all
important fiber either stays in India,
or on Its way to our shores gets no
further than the European battlefront.
Because of the resulting shortage fer
tilizers have to be shipped In large
bags, ten to the ton, instead Of II, 16,
and ever 20 to the ton, as was form
erly the common practice. To men
unsccustomed to handling these heav-
Ter packages this ean Inconvenience
and " actual hardship.
Using the larger bags economies
buriap-in fact saves Is million yards
for more urgent needs. What farmer
would not be glad to share this in
convenience If he but realized that
one Of the big reasons for the burlap
shortage is that our soldier boys are
