HEALTH RULES
 FOR THE ARMY
 ARE MOST RIGID

Uncle Sam looks after his soldier boys in camp as carefully as hen with one chick does after her off spring. When 1t comes to health of the Army nothing is too small to take into account The pernicious microbe is microscopic in size, but it could do a lot of damage if let alone.
 The grounds about the camps are kept free of rubbish and decaying matter. Garbage cans are covered and screened. Traps are set to catch flies The instructions given the men are explicit and leave no room for per - sonal views as to sanitation. War is being made upon disease as scientifi- cally as upon the Kaiser.
 In some of the camps the drill grounds are oiled. It was discovered that the dust stirred by tramping feet caused respiratory troubles. So the order went out, ''No dust" And there is none.
 Talking of feet, the Government pays a great deal of attention to the "number nines'' of the troops. Or thopedists examine bad feet, prescribe exercises, and give treatment. As a result the disability is often removed and the feet restored to normal.
 Special attention is given also to shoes. The army shoe is in itself a panacea for almost 75 per cent. of the ills the foot Is heir to. As a result of this sensible shoe the corn crop in some camps is a total failure. Minor ailments also disappear. Service in the Army will save thousands of our boys from the sufferings that come an middle age from wearing ill-fitting shoes in their young manhood.
 Another matter that comes under the keen eye of the medical authori- ties is shaving. A general order has been issued requiring all barbers em- ployed at the various camp barber shops to wash their hands with soap and water before attendance upon each man. Towels used for one pa stron can not be used again until laun- 5dered. Cups and brushes must be ecalded after each shaving.
 A recent survey of the physical con- |, dition of the men at one of the camps shows by comparison with the data taken at their cooking that they have gained from a half inch to an inch in height and from to 25 pounds 1T weight. This Is a convincing demon stration, both to the men themselve: and to the home folks of the value O. substantial and nourishing food, regu lar hours, sanitary environment ant regular exercises. Stopped shoulder have been strengthened, caved-in chests filled out, sagging Dummies made hard and able to hold their owl in the place where nature intended them to be, and steps that once drag Eed listlessly move with a springines and vigor that indicate the health. man.
 If your boy is in the army, 10 to he is in better health than he ha ever been in his life. He is beint looked over outside, and one might al most say inside, as he has never beel before. And if anything is wron with him it will be put right if sci encs and skill can do it.

FEDERAL CONTROL. OF TOBACCO SEEN.
Necessity of Supply Troops and Allies Shown By
 War Board.

Washington, July 16.---Government control of the tobacco industry of the United States may result from the heavy requirements of the Allies and the American military forces abroad. Rationing of the American civilian population is believed to be possi- bility.
 The War Industres Board announce ed today that it has been conducting an investigation to determine the re- Quirements abroad and the amount that could be conserved in this coun- try to meet the situation.
 It estimates that approximately two-thirds of the leaf tobacco raised in this country in -917 will be avail- able for American manufacturers. Out of this must come cigarette and pipe tobacco for troops not yet overseas and exports of manufactured tobacco, in addition to cigarettes and tobacco purchased here for Belgium.
 The crop in 1917 was 1,196,0Oo,- 900 pounds, and of this the board estf- mates that S5O,O00,Oo pounds will be available this year for United States manufacturers, while 346,000,00 pounds of leaf will be available for export to the Allies.
 Tobacco issued to the military forces of England, Trance and Italy amounts to approximately 150,000, 900 pounds a year, the board said. Eng land and France each allot 40 per cent. of their entire consumption to the army and navy, while Italy all lows her military forces 45 per cent.
 The total yearly consumption of the entire population of these countries l the board estimates at 3S7, ,000, ,00t pounds, of 100000 more than this country is able to export.
 Persons who pointed to possible government conrol in order to assure tobacco for the Allies and American forces, declared that it is more thar probable that, with the Allied Armies consuming between 40 and 45 pel cent. of the total consumption in Al lied countries, American forces would require more than 50 per cent. of the total amount used by the United States.
 The War Industries Board quote: the annual per capita consumption O the United States and the Allies a! follows:
 Italy, 2 pounds; France, SH pounds; Great Britain, pounds, anc the United States 71z pounds.
 England, France and Italy now ar chiefly dependent on imports from th' United States, as their imports iron other tobacco growing countries hav' been materially reduced through lacl ! of shipying and inability to impor from Turkey and Bulgaria.

GERMAN PAPERS
 ASSERT STRENGTH BEING SAPPED

Amsterdam, July 16. - What the Berlin Vorwaerts terms Criminal sap ping of the nations strength is re- vealed by the returns of the 'labor- inspectorate for Prussia for 1917.
 These statistics have not appeared during wartime and socialists have long and vainly urged their re-issu- ance. The Prussian Board of Trade finally yielded and last years figures have just been made public. Issued without text they are eloquent in themselves as they show increased use of the labor of women and children, which, Vorwaerts says, Twill exact a fearful revenge on the future race"
 Compared with pre-war statistics male employees over sixteen decreased from 2,6e2,152 to 1.9566, POP, but wo- men employees increased 6687,734 to 1,24O,5SS. Employees fourteen to six teen years old increased 2S0,148 to 327,904 and children under fourteen, 3,5S4 to 6,012.
 In engineering workshops alone the number of women increased from 51, 513 to 327,512
 Cases of infractions of the work mans protection act have grown alarmingly. By the emergency law of 1914, employers were granted ex- emptions which have been scandal ously abused. Cases of exceeding the ten hours working day rule for wo- men rose from 2,S69 to 6,1OS; sup pressions of the legal luncheon inter- val from 3,733 to 9,292; non-observ- ance of the prohibition of night work 727 to 13,39S and non-observance of the prohibition of juvenile labor 162 to 1.209.
 "The number of official inspections of factories having notably decreased, it is safe to say" adds vorwaerts, that law breaking in this respect has assumed gigantic proportions and the paper vehemently complains of the excessive indulgence shown to em- ployers by the authorities who, for in- stance, granted permission for over work by women to the extent of 23,- 000,000 hours, compared with Is, ,000,- 900 in 1916, and for nightwork by women to the total of 44,0OO,00O hours, compared with 25,0OO, 900.
 The two-shift system is still preva- lent while three-shifts are cornpara- lively rare.
 Vorwaerts demands instant mea- ures to counteract these abuses and the abolition of the exemption law.
