These are the most difficult and
the most interesting cases that an
instructor has to handle. He has to
watch them closely. be ready to en-
courage them, see at once when they
are doing better. II he once lets
them think that he despises them. If
he merely tries to discipline them.
If he makes them afraid to speak of
themselves, he will do nothing. For
he never knows that there may not
be some simple thing. like that mans
fear of breaking his glasses. which
he can put right, il only the man
will speak of 1t; and even il there
is not. the more a man knows you
are interested in him, the more he
will try to master himself.

Nature intends every woman to be
cheerful, light-hearted and happy, but
when dragged down with pain and
suffering from femals ills, will power

American women, however. have
found that there is one tried and
true remedy to restore health under
such circumstances, and that is Lydia

made from herbs and roots. This old
fashioned medicine is now considered
the standard American remedy for

Scarce.

The price of making a glass OF
lemonade has doubled in compare
lively short time. Lemons could be
purchased for 25 or 80 cents dozen
not a great while ago. Now they
retail at so cents per dozen. Using
one lemon to glass OF lemonade,
not counting the sugar, the cost came
to a little more than two cents. NOW
the same concoction costs more than
four cents.
Scarcity of sugar is cutting down

week, says liner r. Carlson, one of
the selectives. Carlson in letter to
former companion on The Gate City

seems like part Of Keokuk had been
moved to Pike.
Here is his letter.
"All the men are well and doing
present time and 1t is just like a sum-
mer camp. Some OF the boys who were
placed in other companies have been
transferred to the barracks and they
have gone into hard training, but the
men who have been left are having
the time of their lives.
Each day that we awaken it seems
like part OF the old town had been
moved down here and 1t is simply
great. The heat in the afternoon is
oppressive. but the nights are cool
and we have to sleep under blankets
and we sure do sleep, too. All the
men take turns doing the TX. p"
work and doing police duty, but it is
not hard and they enjoy it.

doing some work in the Office since

work and some of the nights we have
had to work until late, but 1t has only
been on occasions that men were
transferred to other companies. One
night we worked late and transferred
$50 men and you would be surprised
at the amount of work that 1t takes
to do this.
Talk about system. The U. S. has
system til you feel it. One of the
men In our company said the other
day that they were down to such
scientific point that they could cook a
meal In Quinine capsule. The first
morning that we were here we were
al asked If we wished to make appli-
cation for the officers training camp.
"All Of the Keokuk men are not
going to try for it until they have
had few weeks training. OF course
only six men could be recommended.
Out of the 329 men that were in our
street there were at least rs that
made application.
