learn of the success of our home boys
who pass out into the world of greater

DIR. ". v. FRANK
VISITS GLENWOOD

DR.. w. W. Frank, who was the first
of our citizens to enlist in Uncle
Sam 3 service, made a one day visit to
his Gienwood friends last Monday,
stopping off here on his return from
the eastern coast where he had gone
with troop train, to Camp Lewis at
American Lake, Washington, where he
has been stationed for the past several
months.
DR.. Frank is in the medical depart
ment and is now serving as regimental
inspector with rank of captain and is
well in line for a ma jor's commission.
His first service was at Fort Riley
and Camp Funston, but last fall he was
transferred to Camp Lewis.
Captain Frank is looking fine and
his friends who saw him all agree that
army life has surely made great i'm.
provement in his physical appearance
as none of us'had ever seen him look
ing SO rugged and healthy. He weighs
% pounds more than when he left
Glenwood to enlist and he says it is
all due to the plain but nourishing
food supplied by the government to
her soldiers, and the rigid discipline
and healthful exercises exacted from
all.
He says it is nothing short of re.
markable the changes that have been
wrought in some of the boys since en-.
listing in the service. Those who were
too thin have become more stout while
those too stout have lost some of their
surplus avordupois and all are capable
of greater endurance without fatigue
because of the splendid system of
training which the army rules enjoin
Captain Frank was much in demand
during his short stay and many were
the messages sent by our people to
their boys in the camp. He says the
Glenwood boys he has seen are all in
the best of health and seem to be en-.
joying army life to the limit. Capt
Frank was the special guest Of DR.. and
Mrs. w. T. Oberto during his short
stay in Glenwood.

That Was the Subject Of a
Very Eloquent Address by
Dr.. Cairns at the 0deon
CITES BOsCHE HORRORS

America IS beginning TO say
cannot eat while my brothers and SIS
ters in Europe are starving,'' is the
way DR.. Cairns begun his eloquent ad-
dress at the Odeon theater Thursday
evening under the direction of the u.
s. food administration.
Senator Napier and Ed McLearn and
E. E. Lucas occupied seats with the
speaker on the platform.
DR.. Cairns made one of the most elo-
quent and interesting addresses our
people have heard in many day and
gave decidedly the best account of the
terrible atrocities of the German plans
of conducting war that has yet been
brought to our notice.
1'At the beginning of the war we
had trouble in separating the sheep
from the goats,' DIR. Cairns said.
"There were many kinds of people
throughout our country, but we had
three kinds especially. There were
those who are pro-Uncle Sam, the pa
cifists and the pro-Germans. 1
say, to you, ladies and gentlemen, if
there are any of you out there in the
audience who are of German extraction,
there are two things I should like to
say to you. If you are of German ex
traction and you are for Uncle Sam,
you're fine fellows. If you are Of Ger
man extraction and you are pro-German
why, then, go back to Germany and
you II get your bellyful of Kaiser Bill
in about ten days." ..,..-
"War bread beats peace bread 16 to
~ he declared. "Never again after
this war let me see that nasty, doughy,
indigestible, DYSPEPSIA producing, soggy
concoction we call white bread.'
"Don't object to using substitutes, -
he continued. Vegetarians are the
healthiest because legumes and other
vegetables furnish more protein than
meat. America was always over eating
on meat before the war. DOM eat
pork at any time. because the boys al
the front need fat to keep them warm,
as the Esquimaux do, hog fat forms the
base of the trench oil which cures
trench feet, softens trench boots and
keeps the soldiers from getting pneu
monia. Americans before the war ate
30 pounds of sugar per capita; France
al hay
no butter or cream.
"Tell your kiddics when they eat a
bag of peanuts instead of candy they
are helping to win the war; he said
"Tell them to eat an apple or an orange
instead of ice cream to help win the
war. Preach the gospel of the clean
plate. So. In our family of five
kiddies, my wife and / have one golden
rule that we insist on daily, morning
to night. We say to the kids, You can
eat all you want and just as much as
your small tummies will hold, but by
gollys, everything you put on your
plate you we got to eat.''
"The kids are the best patriots in
America" he continued, "and if they
are told what will help win the war,
they'll help.'
It is safe to say that the people who
heard DR.. Cairns got new vision OF
what war with Germany really means
and Furthermore that they were given
some new ideas as to what it means to
economic and even to sacrifice for
ones country in days Of stress such a
