The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much dlsap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowels, collie
and diarrhoea require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy No physician can pre-
scribe a better medicine for these dis
eases. BY having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.

Why There Is a Coin Shortage.

Why There Is Coin Shortage.
Shortage Of small coins, complained
of by banks, may be due partly to the
practice of saving buffalo nickels and
the new dimes, bankers believe.
Many persons have formed the habit
of putting away the buffalo coins or
the new ten-cent pieces for the well
established theory that the saver can
accumulate considerable sums In this
way and yet do it so gradually that
che never misses it."
Bankers said the penny famine prob.
ably was due to recently instiled thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
back into circulation az quickly as

Dor the farmers are more than doing

The food supply of the nations en-
gagged in this war will be vital and
perhaps the determining factor In the
outcome Of the war, according to Dean
Curtiss. Food for the allies must be
the first consideration and the United
States and Canada must furnish most
of the wheat and much of the meats,
fats and sugars for the allied armies.
France has lost more than half her
cattle and about half of her horses
since the war began and this means a
shortage Of meats, fats and dairy sup
plies.
"NVomen are playing a decisive part
in the war" said Dean Curtiss. THE
war would have been won by the allies
before this II it had not been for the
German women and the part they have
played, not only along the lines of food
conservation, but by taking mems
places and doing mems work"

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 15.-State Superin-
tendent A. M. Deyoe has just received
booklets from the federal board for
vocational education setting forth it's
report to the United States senate on
the subject Of vocational rehabilitation
of disabled soldiers and sailors. This
vocational re education in foreign coun-
ries has been started in the hospitals,
the board reports, as it, is there" the
mind of the patient is best turned to the
tasks he is most capable of performing.
The experience Of foreign countries
declares the board, "in rehabilitation
emphasizes. the necessity of the recos-
milton of three fundamental principles
first the value of practical occupation;
second the Importance of trained teach
ers, and third, the urgency of immedi-
ate occupation in convalescence.
Men Turn Practical.
at is found that the men respond far
better to work of a practical type in
the curative workshops than to any OF
the trivial or time passing occupations
continues the report. The positive
danger OF the latter has been demon
strated in cases where the men have
actually been turned away from pro-
ductive occupations by following one or
the semi trades which are dependent
upon charity or upon uncertain or tickle
markets for support
This report declares that, according
to Canadian figures, eighty per cent OF
the men on their discharge from the
hospital are able to return to their for
mer occupation. ten per cent need
complete vocational re-education anu
ten per cent partial vocational re-edu-
cation. 1t will be an especially difficult
problem to secure teachers for this
sort of work. the federal board states.
NO more difficult problem was ever
.-esented to people than the sacred
task of restoring the victims of this
great conflict to normal. life and happy,
self dependent employment concludes
the board.
"Any legislation dealing with this
question must be broad and flexible.
Experience Of foreign governments has
shown not only that the support and
control Of rehabilitation must be in the
hands of the national government but
the work itself must be done by
national board equipped with ample
funds and having broad discretionary
powers.
