are needed now, and viii be needed
more and more as the war goes on
and after it is ended. But it is rather
hard to convince enthusiastic young

THE RURAL MOTOR EXPRESS.

The motor truck is beginning to be
as useful TO the farmer as it is to the
city business man. 1t is becoming a
ing the farm work problem. The food
produced by the tractor is marketed
by the truck
The Highways Transport Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense
points out the great value of trucks
for this purpose at the present time.
Many farmers are using their own
trucks. Oftener, several farmers club
together, buying and using a large
truck i'm common. because none of
them need it all the time.
Rural Motor Express lines" are
rapidly being organized throughout the
country. They afford long needed
facilities to many a handicapped farm
ing community. They take care of
hauling that is beyond the capacity of
the parcel post. enabling farmers and
gardeners to get their milk, poultry,
eggs. vegetables, fruits, etc, to the city
markets far more readily and eco
nomically than ever before Exem-
plifying the effective use that may be
made to such trucks, the case is given
OF a Maryland farmer who hauled coo
bushels of grain over nine-mile
route and loaded il on the cars in one
day. while in the same time two men
with a six-horse team hauled only 100
bushels over the same route.
This services, however, presupposes
one great essential-good roads.
Country highways. which have never
been any too good, have been much
damaged lately by heavy truck haul
ing for which they were never intend
ed. The nations roads needs to be
virtually rebuilt to take care of the

PATRIOTIC LAWYERS AND
DOCT0RG

Soldiers. sailors and their families
are not 10 be preyed upon by I'M
scrupulous lawyers The lawyers
themselves are going to see to that, by
depriving the less honorable members
of their profession of all opportunity
and temptation
Following the suggestion of Secre-
tary McAdoo, the lawyers in various
communities are forming war service
boards for the purpose of giving free
men and their dependents. These
boards work under the auspices of To-
cal bar associations, and in co-opera-
ton with the draft boards and the Red
Cross.
Any man in the military service, or
about to the drafted, or the family of
any such man, may ask for legal adj
vice and aid in the assurance that it
will be cheerfully furnished, without
cost and without any imputation of
charity The lawyers will be doing
that work as a war contribution.
In some cities bar associations are
using the selective service method in
choosing men for this gratuitous work.
IL is assumed that they win do it as
a matter OF course, unless they have
notified the board of some good rea-
son why they cannot serve
This professional generosity is one
of the finest developments of the war,
IL is on a par with the conduct of the
medical profession, which in many
communities has arranged that any
doctor in military service shall have
his patients cared for by his fellow
physicians with the explicit under
standing that they remain his, and
that a stated percentage of fees re-
ceiyed from them shall be paid to him
or his family.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces OF the system.

COLLEGE TRAINING CAMPS.

Beginning with the next school year
in September new plan of military
training will so into effect in every
institution of college grade enrolling
100 or more able-bodied men over the
age OF is. This plan is backed by
the War Department. SO far as posi-
BILE the government will furnish equip

officers of the army will act as in
structors. The work Will probably be
co-ordinated with the Reserve officers

listed men will be liable to service at
the call Of the President, However,
they will not be called before they
become twenty-one except in case of
urgent military necessity.
The governments idea in this ar
rangement is twofold. First, it is pur-
posed to develop as a great military
asset the large body of young men in
the colleges. The second aim is to
prevent unnecessary depletion of the
colleges through indiscriminate volun-
teering by offering the students def

This Correspondent Explains Meaning
OF Synonymous Masterpiece"

To the Editor of The Capital:
l was very much amused at recently
receiving the following anonymous
masterpiece:
why can't you keep your dunn face
Closed for a short tim and and waite
until the war is ovr and then TAX
Rligeen as much as you dun pies"
The fact is l am not in the habit of
taking Rligeen" except when circum-
stances make it. necessary. or indulg
ing in bum" arguments or making
petty or unwarranted attacks, or
showing animosity on account of
"Rligeen," but that | am guilty in the
first degree of not being a seeker of
popularity, or caring for same, and
being most unpardonablely guilty of
using a forum which is open for ethi-
cal and political discussion to all pub
lic-spirited persons, and of signing my
name without caring a whoop for the
dire of personal consequences, even
when they come in gas attacks like
the above unsigned communication,
but of course there is nothing that a
certain class hates more than this
kind of use of an open forum. especial
ly if the spokesman be a Catholic,
neither ashamed nor afraid of his
identity or faith, and they maliciously
try to misrepresent the attitude of
such a person, TO give it the color of
their own hidden schemes, for he evil
thinketh who evil doeth." This motto
comes strongly to my mind ~when /
compare the handwriting of this note
TO the handwriting on the anonymous
ly addressed anti-Catholic paper sent
me from time to time and find sus-
picious similarity, and so / return to
them, through The Evening Capital, for
there is no other way, the exact words
of the message l received, advising
them to ponder over these words and
practice them, for there are certain
statements in the papers sent me that
smell of the rankest treason. Here is
a sample of one sent me few months
ago: American Citizen Sat, Oct.
2Sth, 1916, LIST page, 9Th column, head
ed 'Popery in Army and Navy
1.-The papal church papers" the ar
ticle runs, ARE printing the following
item: In regard to the religious CEN
sus of the army and navy, which SEN
ator Shepperd, of Texas, intends Con-
gress to have compiled, it is of inter-
est to know that from 33 1-3 to 80 per
cent of the enlisted men in both arms
of the service are Catholic" The
writer cites few more items of credit
to the patriotism of Catholic men,
then ends with the following COM
nent: such information as the above
is given out with the purpose of fore
ing more priests in as chaplains, but
it will serve to keep Protestant young
men from enlisting."
