SPRING TONICS AND
SPRING FEVER

Ground hog day, spring fever
days and dog days! What a trio!
OF course the State Board of
Health has no intention of ques-
tioning the ground hogs sover-
eighty as a weather maker. Nor
is it the proper time of year to
assail the old idea that dogs go
mad" only during dog days.
Spring fever epidemics however,
are perennial. Who has not been
a victim? Fortunately it never
proves fatal. How disconcerting
to be told that spring fever is a
myth. Disheartening as it may
seem, of the hundreds of diseases
to which human flesh is heir,
medical science disdains to even
recognize or mention Spring
fever" In other words. there
amt no sech thing" The real
reason many Of US feel so tired,
lazy, stupid, sleepy, dull and
generally no count" these days
is because we have failed to
change our diet, our clothing
and our habits of living to con-
form to the season. We have
been continuing a heavy winter
diet of meats, fats and other
heat and energy producing con.
stipating foods, instead of cutting
down the whole intake and in

DFENSE SOCIETY
APPOINTS LOCAL
REPRESENTATIVE
Increased Activity Of German
Agents Makes HasIe Necess-
ary in Stamping Out the
Evil. Mrs. S. F. Patter-
son Tells How Local
Citizens Can Help

The American Defense Society
in widening the scope of it
activities through the nation ha!
appointed Mrs. S. F. Patterson
as a member of the Woman's
National Committee, to repre-
sent this district.
In speaking of the society'E
aims and the contemplated cam
paign in this city, Mrs. Patter
son in her first communication
as the society's representative,
brings home with decided force
the need for immediate action.
German agents in our midst
are not a figment of the imagi.
nation but a very real danger, y
states Mrs. Patterson.
In this war, if you cannot go
to the front you will want to
,-serve at home, especially now
that our losses are beginning to
be felt, and we are at last acual-
ly realizing the war. Germany is
modified to the last man and
woman, and if America is to win
this war, we must also mobilize
those at home every man and
woman. Service at home does
not necessarily mean that you
must give up your family obliga-
tons or the time necessary for
earning your livelihood. Such
service can and should be given
in your spare time.
Immediate Action Necessary
''The first thing you can do is
to concern yourself with the
desperate activities of the Ger
man Empire in this country.
Some of these activities are
political; others are industrial
attempts at dynamiting our war
plants and burning buildings.
Still Others are in the realm of
propaganda spreading propa-
ganda under the guise of peace
talk.
IF you are an American citi-
zen, if you believe in the ideal of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness for which our fore
fathers gave their lives in the
Revolution, you can aid Ameri-
can patriotism by enrolling at
once in an organization like the
American Defense Society.
"The American Defense So
ciety is a national propaganda
society, recently characterized
by the New York Sun as "the
most outspoken opponent of Ger
man propaganda in this country.
1t is engaged in waging relent-
less warfare against enemy
activities at home.
I'VE propose to hold series
of meetings to gain members, in
the near future, and among other
things we hope to bring to this
city the greatest patriotic photo
play which has ever been pro-
duced, as a means of adding to
the national fund for the prose-
cution of enemy activities, and
the spreading of a pro-American
propaganda"
Some of the prominent women
with whom Mrs. Patterson will
be associated in her new work
are Mrs. J. W. Hartman, Mrs.
N. L. Beekman, Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Robert Lam
sing, Mrs. Charles S. Whitman,
and other members of the Wo-
mans National Committee,
which has been appointed to
assist the American Defense
Society in the important work
which it is doing.

 Dear Judge:
 Our government is looking forward with strong expectations to the war fund that will result from the sale of thrift stamps. In order that there may be no disappointment when the tellers count the money, I wish to offer for your consideration little idea that is meeting with favor on the part of our local justices. and which will enable you to render much assistance in pro- noting the safe of thrift stamps and war savings certificates. The plan is this:
 When a malefactor who has trans gressed some of the minor laws or or dinances is brought before your tri- bunal, and after considering the evil dence you find him guilty you can 1 temper justice with patriotism as'well as with mercy by imposing a fine of twenty y-five or fifty dollars and sus- pending the sentence long enough to permit the defendant under your in- l structions to invest the fine in wal savings stamps. When he returns and exhibits his purchase to the court you
 can say his case will be dismissed. This also serves the two-fold pur-

Goes to Join British
 TO AID THR|F I

The firemen of Phoenix are nothing if not loyal to their country. Since the call for the new national army was issued more than half dozen members of the department have entered the ser vice. Those who have been left behind have, in one way or another, been striving to do their bit" at home.
 With various organizations respond ing to the plea of the war savings committee for the formation of war savings societies, the local firemen have come to the front and yesterday perfected the Fire Department War Savings society of Phoenix. Nineteen pledges were signed at the initial meet ing, with the promise of many more, as each fireman let it be known that there are members of his family who would like to be included in the mem- bership.
 E. L. McCann of No 3 company, was elected president of the organization while Jack Sullivan of No. 1 company was chosen secretary. The organization was perfected by Gene Cunningham, chairman of the county speakers bu-
