MEDAL OF HONOR
TESTS ARE FIXED
GENERAL PERSAlNG TELLS HIS
OFFICERS WHAT DEEDS ARE
TO BE REWARDED.
ARMY STORES LOW PRICES
Soldiers In France Can Buy Many
Things Cheaper Than in This Coun-
try-New "overseas Cap" Added
to American Equipment.

(From Committee on Public Information)
Washington.-The tests are ap-
piled to cases recommended for the
medal of honor, according to instruc-
tions issued as guide to officers by
General Pershing;
Men who have performed in action
deeds of most distinguished personal
bravery and self-sacrifice above and
beyond all call OF duty; so conspicu-
Gus as clearly to distinguish them for
gallantry and intrepidity above their
comrades; which involve risk of life
or the performance of more than or
dinarlly hazardous service, the omis-
sion of which would not justly sub
ject the person TO censure for short
coming or failure In the performance
of his duty.
The acknowledgements cross Is
awarded for gallantry In action to any
one who may distinguish himself in ac-
ton by extraordinary heroism in con-
nection with military operation
against an armed enemy, under cir
cumstances which do not justify the
award of the medal of honor.
The dstinguished-service medal is
awarded for exceptionally meritorious
service TO the government in connec-
ton with operations against an armed
enemy.

Two out of every 1000 men in the
army have to have their shoes made to
order In several camps entire regi-
ments have had their feet measured,
and hundreds of drawings were made
of odd shapes and sizes. At the pres
ent time the army uses between 2,000,-
900 and 100000 pairs of shoes a.
month.
Facts brought out in tests seem to
prove that men In the present army
are larger than those serving in previ
Gus wars. Not only is this shown by
the larger sizes of shoes called for. but
by the larger sizes Of outer clothing
that is being required. Records in the
quartermaster corps show that a size
larger. on the average. is being de-
manded in blouses, shirts and breeches
than have ever before been used.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-06-29

AS a result of the studies at the
front, methods have been developed
whereby more than 80 per cent of the
wounded. who originally remained at
the military hospitals for months, are
now cured and returned to the forces
in three or four weeks. In order that
army surgeons stationed at camps.
cantonments. and other military hos
pitals in this country may thoroughly
understand the latest treatment of war
wounds. the army medical department
has had established special classes Of
instruction to which are sent selected
officers who, upon completion of their
courses, return to their own hospitals
and instruct other surgeons in these
methods.

More than 500 penalties for violation
of rules and regulations governing Ii
censed dealers In foodstuffs have been
Imposed during the past ten months by
the food administration. About $50
companies and individuals have been
ordered to quit business in licensed
commodities for limited or unlimited
period. and over 500 have voluntarily
made a money payment. usually to the
Red Cross, or have temporarily alb
stained from doing business rather
than risk calling down more drastic
penalties.

Duty to ones country does not end
on the parade ground, nor even on the
battlefield, but consists in doing every
thing in ones power to help win the
war;" says an order issued by General
Pershing. copy of which has been re-
ceived by the war department.
"To write home frequently and reg
ularly to keep in constant touch with
family and friends is one of the SOL
dier's most important duties. Mothers
and fathers will suffer If they do not
hear often from sons fighting in
France. In the present large com
panies it Is not possible for officers to
write letters for their men, and every
man must do 1t for himself"

Strong, well-nourfshed nerves is
the great secret of success, health

gardless of health, strength. ambi-

Without energy, ambition, strong

blood. nerves and brain. that it is a
perfect combination of vital ele-
ments of great tonic qualities when
taken by 'Nerve-sick humans that
it will increase body and nerve en-
