From PERCIvAL s. RIDSDALE,
secretary Of the American Forestry
Association - Congratulations on
your editorial on how to immortalizs
District heroes. We note with inter-
est that you give mention to the sug-
gestion that the tree should play q
prominent part in such a memorial.
Nothing better could be done. Our
plan to have memorial trees planted
for soldier-heroes in all the States is
meeting with approval OF officials
and the public. Governors and for
est commissioners are taking 1t up.
Victory walnuts, oaks or elms
would be very appropriate for this
purpose"

Conservation and Reclamation DVi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
Of All Materials.

One of the most insidious pieces of
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears In the
form of rumors concerning excessive
wastes of all foodstuffs and supplies
In our army camps and environments.
A glance at the work of the conserva-
ton and reclamation division of the
army readily establishes the falsity
of these reports.
The aim of the conservation and
reclamation division is TO obtain the
maximum utilization of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste of
these materials to a minimum, to de-
stroy nothing, and to dispose of all ma
terial useless TO the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetites, but the highest care
is exerted to prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
in other words, much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness Is now saved. The reclama-
ton officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantonment are re-
sponsible for the separating and the
classifying of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving of every
meal at the mess; the object of this
careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste Is to prevent vast
age.
The division also has active charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantOnment. The prod
uce raised is used in rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men fit for active duty are re-
quired to assist in this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has much more efficient
plan, for he has this work done by in
termed aliens, enemy prisoners, con-
scientous DIRECTORS and military pris-
oners OF our own enlisted men only
those physically unsuited for service
overseas or partially disabled are as
signed to this agricultural work. 1t Is
believed that after few months of
outdoor work. many of the men now
unfit will so improve physically that
they will become fit for transfer to
fighting units. Thus the army will
reclaim men as well as materials and
supplies.
The boys at the front and at camps
and environments In this country also
are setting standard In conservation
and reclamation which is magnificent.
They are doing their utmost to see
that every penny invested in the cause
OF democracy. through Liberty Bonds
and otherwise, Is utilized efficiently.

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most .overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble i'll the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and
If it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded BE

Another Optimist.

The optimistic man had been elected
from his room by the irate landlady.
Out he went into the street, his be-
longings sailing after him. The white,
binding snow whirled in singing
masses and the wintry wind shrieked
and moaned through the trees and
wires.
The optimistic man sat him on his
trunk to listen to the complaint Of the
elements and to consider where he
should go. He recalled clustering
week of n past August. As a cutting
blast almost whirled him from his seat
and blew hatful of snow down his
neck he murmured gratefully: swell,

he seldom had 4 cent to apply to any
worthy cause, such as the care Of his
family or the upkeep of the church.
AS result of Heber's regularity In

years or more the church folks never
baptized him. They just sort Of let
him slide along, and, when immersion

Finally, though, the church authori-

began to show signs of interest, they
advised him that his confession woult

the baptizing somewhat dangerous,
but the authorities agreed that it was
their only chance to get Heber, SO,
after church, with the repentant sin
ner in tow. and armed with lanterns,
they filed down to the creek for the
baptizing.
Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped
the officiating pastors hands. some
saying he wriggled out and others
maintaining that he slipped, but, any
how, he disappeared in the darkness.
Daylight found him perched in a
sycamore tree, q mile down the creek,
in the center of whirlpool that was
worth a mans life to attempt to in
wade. Hence, we had to leave him up
the tree for three days until the water
receded.
Why He Vowed Sacrifices.
When the rescuing party finally ar
rived at the base Of the tree, 1t was
surprised to find Heber raining down
plug tobacco, drinking liquor, dice,
stickpins, fancy rings and other trink-
cts on which he had squandered his
money, and declaring loudly that there
was no sacrifice he would not make In
the future for the good of the church
and the protection of his soul. Nor
did he descend until he had stripped
himself of everything that he could
reasonably spare and little bit more.

Urges Jews Form
Palestine Republic

Three hundred delegates from all
parts of the United States and Canada,
representing more than a quarter of
q million Jews, attended mass-mect-
ing of the Jewish Labor Congress, now
in session, in the Central Opera House
last night. They had assembled to lis
ten to a discussion of the plans for the
rehabilitation OF Palestine.
Of greatest interest was the appeal
for an independent Jewish republic,
made by DR.. c. H. Zhitlowskey. in the
course of paper which was read for
him. DR.. Zhitlowskey is known to Jews
throughout the world as philosopher,
and while in Russia, which he left only
short time ago, he was a prominent
supporter of Kerensky.
In his address DR.. Zhitlowskey advo-
Gated full political Independence for
the Jews in Palestine. He urged that
the Jews with their own hands and
by their own works again raise their
name to the position in the world it
should occupy as being the first among
the nations TO proclaim the ideals Of
social justice and everlasting peace.
The opening sessions of the Labor
Congress were held yesterday morning.
Jews hail the congress az an epoch
in their history. 1t was organized sole
ly for the purpose of aiding in the re-
Mobilization of Palestine.
Among the plans to be perfected is
the establishment of Jewish national
loan. The congress will continue to-
day and Tomorrow.

German orture Kills
40 British Soldiers
They Were Hanged to Pole
Two and a Half Hours in
Bitter Cold for II Nights

LONDON, June THE slow murder
of forty British prisoners sent by the
Germans to work under fire on the
Russian front is related by a member
Of the Royal Naval Division who has
just reached England after escaping
from Germany.
1t had been decided, he says, that
out of party of 500 British prisoners
thirty-six should die in consequence
of an allegation that thirty-six German
prisoners had been murdered by their
British sentries. The men were forme d
into groups of three and the misdee d
of any individual was visited upon all
three men in the group.
They were taken from working
parties at the end of the day, made ia
mount on a block and then tied to y
pole. The block afterward was kicked
away, leaving the men suspended with
their feet little off the ground. In
this position they were kept for two
and half hours each night for four
teen nights in intense cold. Forty
men died under the treatment.

Western Union Is
Sharply Cer1sured

Gompers and Morrison De-
clare Telegraph Officials
Are Violating War Policy

ST. PAUL, June 7.-Sharp criticism
OF officials of the Western Union Tele
graph Company for their alleged re-
fusal to abide by the decisions of the
National War Labor Board and prot
estations of labor's united support of
the governments war policy were
voiced late to-day by officials of the
American Federation of Labor speak
ing at pre-convention meetings. Accord
mig to President Samuel Gompers and
Secretary Frank Morrison, the action
Of the telegraph officials is in direct
violation of the purpose of the board
and has a demoralizing effect upon the
morale of working people.
This probably will result in Presi-
dent Wilson communicating the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and
enactment of legislation by Congress
for taking over of all telegraph and
telephone companies during the war"
Secretary Morrison said.
"Never in the history of the uni
verse has there been a time and cir
cumstance where representatives of
the masses of labor have been in a
position of right and justice as now,"
Mr.. Gompers said.
Reiterating labor's pledge to support
the war needs of the government. Mr..
Gompers said: "Come what may,
President Wilson need not fear divis-
ion in America, for the men of labor,
whether in peace or war, stand as a
unit behind him as the leader of
democracy of the world"
The convention proper will convene
Monday morning and will continue FOR
two weeks. More than 5000 delegates
are expected to attend.
