STRONG ARGUMENT
For Full Time Health Ofilcer For Ma
son County Was Editorial In Last
Saturdays Ledger, Says At.
torney Stanley +. Reed.

To The Ledger:
Your editorial In last Saturdays Is
sued entitled County Teeth" carried
strong argument for Full Time
Health Officer
You call attention to the physical
deficiency Of the boys from the rural
districts, as found by the military
medical examiners, and after stating
that many OF these defects are the re-
suit Of not caring for childrens' teeth,
you call upon the city, state or gov
eminent to take steps to correct this
evil.
The Federal and State governments
have agreed to do this work II this
county will bear portion Of the cost
A Full Time County Health officer
would not only see that the childrens
teeth are regularly examined, and
urge upon parents their proper care,
but he would examine all school chill
dren at regular intervals for the pur-
pose of detecting any and all physi-
cal defects and point the way to their
correction.
There are hundreds Of conditions
that affect the health Of both children
and adults and these also will be
looked after and improved; If the
county will bear reasonable share
of the expense.
The State and Federal governments
have the entire plan outlined and only
await the answer of our county COM
missioners. What shall this answer
be? Shall ann the money that our citi-
zens have paid for from their private
funds be forgotten and shall Mason
say to the United States Pub
lie Health Bureau, 1--WE don't want
better than we have" or
shall she say eve want the cleanest
and healthiest community 1t is posi-
BILE for us to have"

NO CHANGE MADE
In situation by Hertling Speech
stead Of Making an Advance To.
ward Peace II " Regarded az
Aid 10 Hun Mllltarists.

Washington, February 26-Count
Won Hertling's speech In the Reich
stag yesterday continuing the discus
sion Of the war aims OF the belllger-
ent powers, has not changed the sit
nation In the opinion Of high officials
here. Instead of marking an advance
toward peace, It is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands Of the German milltaristic
party by endeavoring to convince the
German proletariat OF the impractic-
able nature Of President Wilson's
aims as disclosed in his last address
to congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the Presidents four fundamental
principles for basis Of peace, the
German chancellor dismissed them as
idealistic and unavoidable by insist
ing that they must depend for their
application upon the realization Of
conditions which can not be met. In
the official view his treatment Of the
subject was ironical and designed for
very different ends than the advance
ment of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribu-
ton to the debate on war aims and
peace aspirations. ExDerience has
taught officials that important qualifi-
cations are to be found equally in
the full text of the speeches of the
spokesman of the Central Powers.
Attention was directed by officials
to President Wilson's formal charac-
terization of the German chancellor's
utterances as Every vague and con-
fusing" and 1t was said that the Presi-
dents comment had peculiarly apt
application to the speech of yesterday
in which Won Hertling signifled his
fundamental agreement with Presi-
dent Wilson's four principles.
President Wilson in his last ad-
dress to congress said of the chan
cellor's speech delivered few days
before:
His discussion and acceptance of
our general principles lead him to no
practicable conclusions. He refuses
to apply them to the substantial items
which must constitute the body of any
final settlement"

~ ONCERNING writing to soldiers
L one has never met is one Of the
questions most often asked me,
and usually reply that | think it is
quite permissible. providing the tone of
the letters is kept purely friendly. There
is no doubt about the fact that letters do
help to make the soldiers life more
pleasant. and that they give the home
touch to a life which is sometimes very
lonely and hard But that does not mean
that the silly gushy letters so often
written in such cases. have the least ex-
ouse or reason. In the first place, a
very personal feeling can not exist be-
tween people who have never even seen
each other. Therefore, it follows that
the letters can not be genuinely senti-
mental So. girls, IL you wish to write
10 these soldiers (and I quite approve
Of doing SOY keep your letters from be-
coming other than friendly in tone. And
IL the man becomes too personal and
affectionate in his letters, either ignore
il or show in a rather cooler tone in
your answer that it does not please you.
Usually. the man will take this hint And
do not send your photograph to him.
Your picture should be given only to
vey good friends; il you send one to
every man who asks for one. its value
will fall
Il is. indeed, hard to know just where
to draw a line when a soldier is going
away. and his return is a distant. uncer-
tain thing Some men arc such eads
that they play on the young girls sym
pathy and affection at this time, some
times with disastrous results. On the
other hand, many young girls fling aside
all restraint and reserve. and allow men
privileges which should belong only to
their hanee. Every woman who has a
spark Of spirit in her wants to make
