that marvel of transportation that has
SO bewildered and surprised the for
eign observers.
The last stage as the supplies pass
to the troops at the front is where the
automatic train reaches the rail-head
OF the division. Each American divis-
ion has its fixed rail-head. or terminal.
where the train delivers its daily
quota This is as near the troops In
the field as fighting conditions will
permit But in many cases 1t Is not
possible to bring the divisions rail-
head close to the front, SO that n
these cases canton transit fills the
gap between the rail-head and the &C
tual line.
A rail-head officer is in charge at
these points, reporting back nightly to
headquarters here as to the strength
of men and animals in the division,
and its varying needs caused by ac-
tive fighting or periods of repose.
Thus each division rail-head becomes
asregulating station for the needs of
that fighting unit while all of them
are linked back here to this huge CEN
trail regulating station where the
steady lines of supplies are kept NOV
ing forward.

Itching and Burning Outlines
Almost Unbearable IN its
Intensity

On the lips OF those afflicted with
skin disease is the eternal question.
"How can l find relief from itching
and burning and fiery irritation that
keeps me in such constant torture?"
This pitiful appeal will continue to
come from those who have been mis-
led into the entirely erroneous method
of using treatment that is at best
only palliative and can have no cura-
tive effect because it does not reach
the source of the trouble.
In severe cases where a person is
suffering intense pain that is unbear-
able, physicians find it necessary to
administer an opiate to give temporary
relief. They do not, however, expect
to cure the pain in this way, but seek
at once to locate it's cause and direct
their treatment at its source.
A fire may start in the basement
of a house, and the flames break out
through the roof. Water thrown on
the roof will not extinguish the fire,
but the intelligent fireman will locate
the source of the fire and soon put
it out.

or it's starting point, then you can
apply treatment that will get results.
So-called skin diseases are improp-
erly treated in nine cases out of ten,
which is one reason why SO many
people think them ihcurable. The

Whenever you see a person with a
clear, rudy complexion, with a

that their blood is free of all i'm

Diseases of the skin. therefore, come
from a germ which is in<the blood.

The itching and burning and irrf-

This germ must be eliminated, driven
out of your blood. And you cannot

Rare Case Of
Coitre at Albany
Cured by the Interstate Doc
tors. Hart Paper Company's
Bookkeeper is the Victim
Was Happy Recovery.

Goitre is very dangerous disease
and by the ordinary doctors is con-
sidered practically incurable. Goitre
is much more frequent in women than
in men. Possibly there are thousands
of women who have goitre to where
there is one man. But on the other
hand, when a man does haYe goitre
it is quite often desperate case in
deed.
One of these rare cases of goitre in
men which also shows the wonderful
effects Of the scientific method of
treatment used by the Interstate Doc
tors is that of Cecil E. Evans of AL
bany, Ind. who writes:
Albany, Ind, March 5, 1917.
Dear Doctors:
81 had read so much about your
wonderful cures of difficult cases over
the country that l resolved to try you
for troublesome goitre on my neck,
and the results were so startling that
it gives me great pleasure in this way
to express my appreciation of your
methods and your work-feeling I
might thus be a guiding star in caus-
ing others to know what great work
you are doing. My goitre had got so

Muncie on December IL, 1916, and
now after three months treatment my
goitre Is gone. l feel no discomfort
whatever and am supremely thankful
for your quick work and method of
treatment
Respectfully,
CECIL E. EVANS"
Bookkeeper for T. F. Hart Paper Co.
Thousands of people, many of them
your friends and neighbors. have been
cured of diseases by the Interstate
Doctors, after all others had failed to
relieve and their testimonials are on
file in the institute and can be seen
by anyone. These friends and neigh
bors OF yours, these home people, liv-
ing right here in this country, would
not testify to these cures were they
not true. You can believe what your
friends and peighbors tell you. While
you may have been disappointed by
others. still there is hope; you can be
cured by natures remedies as used
by the Interstate Doctors. who have
their Richmond offices on the second
floor Of the Starr block, corner OF
10th and Main, over Starr Piano

for the rights of others which must have con-
tributed to the child's misdeeds.
"The attempt is made to analyze the offenses
of the children, which range from mere mischief
or general waywardness to serious offenses
against property and to sex delinquencies. The
purposeless mischief often develops because the
loneliness Of the open country and the deafness
of the little town give the child a stupid denial
to answer his search for sociability Without
wise leadership the youthful energy is all too
likely to run the gamut of small mischief and then
degenerate into serious misdeeds.
what were these 81 typical communities do
ing to save themselves from the moral and fin
ancial burden of caring for the misdemeanants
their lack of foresight had produced? Prisons
for criminals are admittedly an expensive way
to safeguard the moral fabric of community.
"In searching for social factors which make
for the child's sound development the investigat-
ors looked first to the district school with its hon
ored tradition of useful service. The report
shows how 'pitifuly Inadequate the tiny educa-
tional unit in the back country, with it's isolation
and slight equipment, usually is to meet modern
demands The church, the report states, hold
real and valuable place in the socializing of the
country, but it was found to be making most UNI
equal use of it's opportunity.
what is there to care for the child who has
been called to account by the community for his
offenses? The justices of the peace, under whose
jurisdiction many Of the children considered in
the study came, were generally found to give but
cursory attention to the children's needs, and to
be ill-informed as to how their cases should be
handled. Local influence conduces in many in
stances to lenience where sterner treatment
would have been for the child's better interest.
The report adds to the evidence which favors a
separate court for the treatment of juvenile Of
tenders. The impracticability of securing skill
led probation officers and juvenile court judges,
however, for each small community leads to the
recommendation of a county juvenile court and
the extension Of the powers of such courts where
they now exist, in order that the court may reach
the remotest corners of each county-that a
probation officer may be available in every in
habited section of rural as we'll as urban COM
munites'"

+ That thousands of children in rural and small
town communities are being deprived of a fair
chance for normal development is the assertion
Of the Children's Bureau of the United States
Department Of Labor in report just issued on
conditions which tend to juvenile wrongdoing in
the country, as follows:
~"One hundred and eighty-five New York
State children who were implicated in some sort
Of wrongdoing and who came from 144 different
families, were carefully studied, and their family
surroundings were scanned in an effort to dis
cover what had led them astray. Most of the
children were of normal mentality, although
about one-fourteenth were noticeably deficient.
But lack Of opportunity for moral and mental
training for recreation, and lack of variety of in
teresting occupations with promising futures led
these children of normal mental power into de-
linquency All these conditions were found to
be accumulated in the subnormal child who, in adj
dition to the opportunities of normal child,
needs to be provided with some adequate means
of diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
1.-THE 81 New York State communities des-
cribed show type of social life that as the re-
port points out can unfortunately be matched
in many places. Vivid, detailed descriptions
show how the families and communities of these
1876 little children failed to safeguard them from
early temptations to wrongdoing which will
doubtless lead, in many instances, to wasted,
stunted lives. Although in nearly half the cases
the child lived in it's own home with it's father
and mother there was lack of control on the
part of the parents and disregard on their part

in WAR SERVICE
STATE LAW RELATING TO ABSENT
VOTING OF SOLDIERS.

At the special session of the South Da-
kota legislature, held in March, a law was
enacted relating to absent voting by those
engaged in war service. County Auditor L.
F. Hartwich calls attention to the provisions
of the law which require county auditors to
prepare a record of all qualified electors who
are residents of his respective county, and
who are absent from this state and engaged
in the naval or military service of the United
States. In order to complete this record as
provided by law, Mr.. Hartwich calls upon
residents of the county who have relatives
and friends in the service to furnish him the
names and present address and date of birth
of such men that they may be enrolled ac-
cording to the requirements of the statute.
1t is necessary that this information be
furnished the auditor at once, as the ballots
to be used at the approaching election must
be mailed on September l..
