Student Reserve Campaign Be-
gins in Kansas Today.
Local Registration in West
Wing of Memorial Hall.
OPPORTUNITY TO AID NATION
Chance for Every Young WOm-
an in Country, 10 to 35.
Army Alone Needs $4,000
Nurses Before January 1.

The mobilization of the young
women OF the United States for the
Student Nurse Reserve begins today.
This work is being conducted thru the
woman's committee, national council
of defense, which has established re-
cruiting stations in every county, ac-
ceSsible to the young women who wish
to- offer themselves for training. The
station for Topeka is in the Woman's
committee headquarters in Memorial
hall. (west wing)-
The training schools are established
under the authority of the surgeon
general OF the United States army, who
has issued the following letter TO the
young women of America:
1 want every young woman in the
country. every woman between 10 and
30, to read carefully what have to
say and to give it earnest attention.
1t is message which every girl ought
to welcome, because it tells of an OPP
portunity to help the nation. The
army and the country face a shortage
or nurses. The army alone will re-
quire something like $4,000 nurses by
the first of next January. We have
secured $4,000 of this number. We
need 1900 more. We have got to
have them or the army will run short,
and this would be an outcome incredi-
Bile and intolerable to the American
people.
Only graduate nurses who have been
thru the full course of training are
available for this high service. These
nurses have to be taken out of the hos
pitfalls and from the care of the sick
at home. This means that we recruit
our full quota for the army. Their
places in the civil communities must
be filled; hence this call for student
nurses to fill the vacancies, prepare
for professional service, and mean
while, to make it possible for our hos
pitfalls, both civil and military, to carry
on, and for the American people to
hold the health standards of the coun-
try as high as they have ever been held
in times of peace.
II were young woman and want
ed to do my country the greatest service
in my power, 1 should go at once to
the nearest recruiting station of the
woman's committee, Council of Ma
tiona1 Defense, and enroll in the Unit
ed States student nurse reserve This
enrolment would at once make me a
candidate for the army nursing school
or for one of the civilian training
schools for nurses.
I cannot conceive of a more val
liable service, a more womanly service.
can give every girl who enrolls in
the reserve my personal assure nee
that she is making herself count, and
1 should be ashamed of any woman
who did not long with all her heart
and soul to make herself count in the
defeat of Germany.

ceive long sought after and needed
raise in pay before the first of next

but what, are we going to do in the
meantime?" asked a->policeman this
morning. Haven't we waited long
enough as it is?
''At the city hall they say there is
no money to pay a raise at this time.
In the face of this the city commits
sioners and the mayor find plenty of
money to build swimming pools and
comfort stations"
Other Cities Pay More.
Members of the force compare the
rate of pay in Topeka with those in
Atchison and Wichita. The Topeka
rate is $50 a month for patrolmen,

and $3.50 for the chief.

Declares

Husband Also Takes Tanlac
With Wonderful Results.

One of the most interesting of the
many remarkable statements yet made
in connection with Tanlac was given
by Mrs. Marie ]. Howard. who resides
at 4o2 Westlake Ave, North Seattle,
recently. Mrs. Howard has been res
ident of Seattle for the past eighteen
years, and before her marriage, was
trained nurse and a graduate OF Belle
vue Hospital, New York. When ask
ed If she would be willing for her
statement to be published, she said,
Yes, indeed. and you may start it by
saying I believe Tanlac has saved my
life.
Il have suffered from stomach trou-
Bile and disordered liver and kidneys
for five years and had gotten in such
bad condition, that honestly felt like
I was going to die. Everything l
would eat fermented in my stomach
and the gas formed by it would cause
my heart to paIpitate so my breath
would almost stop. There were in
tense pains all thru my back about my
liver and kidneys and can't begin to
tell how I did suffer- I had fearful
headaches and was so nervous l hard
ly knew what sleep was l was often
down in bed for a week at a time
hardly able to raise my hand. Then
l would manage to stay up for two or
three days, but would have to give up
and take to my bed again. I would
often go for two or three days without
eating a mouthful of anything. 1 lost
weight right along and ann telling the
positive truth when I say I was in such
an awful condition that 1 thought l
was going to die.
After reading and hearing so much
about Tanlac I bought a bottle, think
ing If it did others so much good, per-
haps it might help me, too. Well, it has
not only helped me. but have actual
ly gained twenty-five pounds since I
began taking it and have never felt
better in my life. My appetite Is
good and my stomach in such SPLEEN
did condition that I can hardly eat
enough and I don't suffer a particle
afterwards, All my pain and misery
is gone, my kidneys and liver are act
ing spIendidly and my nerves are per-
fectly strong and normal. I sleep
every night like a child, and don't
know what it is to have a headache.
Ny husband has also taken Tanlac
with wonderful results. In fact. l
think 1t has done him as much good
as it has me. and we both consider 1t
the finest medicine made"

FACTOR PROOF" ROLES
Stage Success Often Unearned,
Saws Charlotte Walker

MY stage experience has taught me
at least one thing, y said Charlotte Wal
ker. who is playing the leading role OF
Nancy Lee in Eugene Walters Nancy
Lee TT has taught me that bad plays
have seldom been saved by good actors,
but many an artist of moderate ABILITY
has risen to success on the merits OF a
well-written drama. | know of no surer
way to disguise mediocrity than the SORT
Of role which has come to be dement,
mated as 'actor-proof.' Stock work con-
tinually made this clear to me.
Take. for example, my case. The
public does mol vet regard me in, the
light of what IS known as an emotional
actress Henry Arthur Joncs's Mrs,
Danes Defense was presented in wash
ington one summer and ] was cast for
the role of Felicia Hindmarsh. 7 scored
a distinct success. How could one fail
10 do otherwise? Even the amateur
must be thrilled and inspired by the
dramatic power of that famous inuuisi-
ton scene in the piece. Every hiStrionic
attribute is ~auickened and made alive
by the genius of the dramatist here, and
emotional assets, hitherto perhaps un-
suspected, are certainly revealed. But
few PLAYERS are strong enough to bring
similarly effective aid to inferior vehi-
clpS'
