HEALTH Of
OUR men

The draft showed that twenty nine
per cent Of the young men Of America
were physically unfit to perform the
manhood duty of citizen service. It
is also known that there are one mil
lion preventable death in this country
per annum.
The health Of the men and women
of America is a matter Of the greatest
Importance to this nation in the fight
for victory and has a direct bearing
upon the nations ability to meet war
and postwar economic problems. The
mind of the nation is also best equip
ped by providing for the soundness Of
the bodies of its men and women.
We know that in every community
there are boards Of health and organi-
cations devoting themselves to physi-
cal fitness. The above statements of
fact, however, indicate that the mass
of the people are not reached by the
present methods and that it is a
matter Of national concern that broad
ar measures be adopted.
BY plans which are simple the evil
can be overcome. 1t is proposed that
a Committee on Physical Reserve be
appointed in every city and town in
the United States to inquire into local
conditions, with the suggestion that
they communicate with the undersgin-
ed committee in order that we NAV
advise you of our plans and put into
operation simple and pleasant sys-
tenn Of physical up-building which does
not require any considerable time ex-
penditure for the Individual and which
has been proven to produce the ne
cessary results in remarkably short
period
Will you be good enough to desig-
nate at least three persons to consti-
tute your local committee? When you
do so, will you kindly advise US and
we will forward to you at once the de-
tails Of the plan.
AS we are anxious to produce
prompt results, we would appreciate
your early reply.
Yours respectfully,
Committee on Physical Reserve,
Walter Camp,
Chairman.

RAISE CHICKENS
SLAUGHTER
YOUR MEAT BILL

Every city man should have at least
a dozen chickens in his back yard.
Every farmer should raise between
100 and 200 birds.
These are the opinions of M. E. ST.
bolt who is in Wisconsin organizing
a poultry drive. Mr.. Sibolt points out
that this is the easiest and cheapest
way to meet the shortage in meat. Ev-
en- in the city number of chickens
can be raised on the refuse from the
table, and in the country the price of
eggs and meat should make poultry
raising a profitable industry.

Harry's drafted, so is Bill,
All our work is now uphill,
So your order, we're afraid,
May be still bit delayed.
Still you'll get it, don't be vexed,
Maybe this month, maybe next;
Keep on hoping, don't say die,
You viii get it by and by.
Keep your temper, gentle sir,

Though your goods are overdue,
For a month or maybe two,

Can't get yarn, can't get dyes,

the ranks of the cowboys to round up
cut out and herd cattle.
w, L. Amonett, secretary of the
Panhandle Southwestern Stockmen's
Association, says the cattlemen are all
complaining because of a scarcity of
labor on the cattle ranches. The army
has drawn heavily on the ranches for

draft took many more, while the NOV
ing picture companies have COM
mandeered other cowboys to make the
western films.
This has led to the older cattlemen
returning to the saddle for work on
the range to take the place of the
young men who have gone.
