HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

The American who buys a Liberty
Bond and forthwith sells it has per-
formed only half a service for his
country. To buy bonds and then sell
them Immediately tends to make the
war burden of the country heavier
instead of lighter, as it decreases the
market value of the bonds.
Liberty Bonds are safest and sound
est and one of the best investments
in the world. To sell them unless
imperatively required is not good bus
mess, is not good Americanism.

CITE PACKERS FOR
 UNFIT MEAT SALES

Washington, May 27--Sale of spoil. ed meat and other food products to the army, with the knowledge that the food was unfit for human con sumption" is charged in complaints issued Saturday by the Federal Trade Commission against Morris & Co. and Wilson & Co.,, two of the five great packing corporations.
 It is alleged that thousands of pounds of unfit meat and chicken were sold to Camp Travis, Texas. Most of it was detected and condemn ed. but it is said some of 1t may have been passed and consumed
 Details of the information upon which the action is based were with held by the commission. The an- nouncement and correspondence given out with it, however, show that the alleged offences occurred last Decem- Der and are the same upon which in- dictments were obtained in Texas by the Department of Justice after an investigation by the Food Admins tration.
 The indictments were dropped be- cause they were returned under sec ton of the food law, which carries no penalty.
 A further report from E. A. Peden Federal Food Administrator fo: Texas, is expected this week. Officials say they probably will find some pen- atty to fit the cases, even even if only on ground of food wastage.

ARMY SURGEONS
 IN WAR DOING EXCELLENT WORK

Somewhere in France, April A. Correspondence of the Associated Press) of the unsung heores of the war is the military surgeon. No man has been harder worked in the tremendous fighting of the past few weeks, and his work has been in most cases far from pleasant.
 There is not the same romantic stimulus for the medical man that there is for the infantry or artillery officer. It is one thing to dash about under fire intent on killing or being killed; it is another thing to dash about under fire and take the same risks while calmly attending to those with wounds from which all other men as they pass avert their heads. Thank God, am not a doctor" said an officer who had been detailed to inspect number of improvised cas- ualty clearing stations along the front during an attack.
 The regimental surgeon in the Brit ish army has in his charge the we'll being of more than & thousand men. When there is no fighting on, he has plenty to do. He has to strike hap py medium in discouraging the faint hearted, who come to him as a means of obtaining a fortnight's rest, and in holding out a helping hand to those who are in real distress. If he is too lenient, the commanding officer be- gins to ask whether he intends to de- plete the whole regiment; if he is too harsh the junior officers and men lose patience.
 The doctor is the only officer in the regiment, however, who is the fortu- nate possessor of a car, but this leads to numerous complications. There are some thirty-odd officers in the regi- ment, and each one of them has some. few trifles which must go in that car. If he is weak enough to take them, the car is overloaded and before long breaks down and precious medical stores have to be abandoned. If he | refuses to take them, his position in the officers mess becomes we'll nigh unbearable.
 The doctor doesn't ride, but foot slogs' it with his regiment through the same mud, the same wind and rain, and the same perils. His duties are not confined to caring for the ill and injured. He just supervises the sanitation of camps and billets, en- sure the purity of drinking water, , keep a lookout for outbreaks and ep- 1 ideices, maintain a continuous cam paign of inocculations and vaccina- tions, and fill out a long series of rec ords and army forms. He has to do his utmost in the light of his special knowledge to maintain the health of his unit, and any remissness on his part may lead to a serious dimution | in it's strength.
 In bi1lets he has the added duty of playing the role of melical attendant to the villagers, as all the French doc tors in the country districts have gone.

 Otherwise the order hits hardest those engaged in mercia distribution for the that employed usually replaced by the work being neither too long in hours, too hard for womans strength.
 The economic effects of the regulations will be very great Not all them be foreseen From community there will disappear all that class of who have lived upon their wits upon the earnings of women those who gain scanty Livelihood hanging about pool and saoons sturdy fellows who from years end to years end contribute nothing substantial to the well being of the community
