Fit Young Men

Nearly one-third of the men who were ex-
amined for military service in the United States
during the last year were physically unfit to
serve in the army, according to report of Pro-
vost Marhsal General Crowder.
Putting this into other terms, we must real
lie emphatically that thirty per cent of our male
population is under physical handicap. To use
an illustrations: A baseball club with three men
out of nine unfit for the rgors of the sport could
never become pennant winner. AS with base
ball nine, so with nation. The United States
i'll afford to have all its industries and COM
mercial organizations of all kinds handicapped.
Among some of the causes of physical unfit
ness in the army were tuberculosis, bad teeth.
bad eyes and other defects that could have been
remedied if relief had been given in time.
This suggests two things. One of them that
all persons should undergo an examination from
time to time in order that their physical con-
dition might be ascertained. The other, that if
the government instituted compulsory military
training, these defects would be discovered at an
early stage and could be remeded. The grand
results of both of these suggestions would be seen
in our industries and our commercial organiza-
tons, for then physically fit men would be hand
ling their affairs assisting in increasing output.

And her hair was red
The red that is in the flag
And in the flannel shirt,

In the Italian sunset.

DOCTORS FIND
 REMEDY FOR :. COLDS AND FLU .Ssss
Calotabs, the New Nausea less Calomel, Cuts Short Colds and Prevents Flu by Keeping Liver Active.

.-Physicians have learned from expe- rience, during the epidemic of 1nfluenza that one of the most important factors in the prevention of flu and pneumonia is to keep the 3iver active so that the digestive organs may be in perfect working order and the system thereby enabled to throw off colds. check sore throats. and resist serious complica-- tions. For this purpose they have found that the new. nausealess calomel, called Calotabs, is liar more effective even than the old style calomel. which was formerly the universal favorite. as Calo- tabs do not weaken nort sahvate the >pa- tient. nor interfere with the appetite and digestion.
 At the first sign of a cold or sore throat, doctors recommend one Calotab at ked time with a swallow of water that's all. No salts. no nausea. nor the slightest interference with your diet pleasure or work. Next morning you wake up feeling fine, your liver is active, and your appetite is keen for a good breakfast. For your projection Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages. price thirty-five cents. All druggists recommend and guarantee Galotabs. Remember, your money back if you are not glad you bought Calo- tabs.

 Reach Home Broke
By Associated Press

 He advocated placing of responsibility. and concluded with the following refer ence to President Wilson: Tt is all very well for the President to break the precedents of a century that he may head triumphal procession in for eign capitals, sleep in chambers of roy- alty, dine. off of gold plates in the pal aces of the modern Caesars and have his photograph taken with Kings. Queens and princesses. But what of the Amerf .. can private who returns to his native shores dismissed without a dollar in his pocket?'
 Senator Fre1inghuysen said a bill in- troduced recently, apparently with ap- proval of the war department. to author fze the permanent rank of general and lieutenant general was designed to bene- fit Generals Pershing, March, Bliss. Leg gett and Bullard, and that Major Gen eral Crowder, provost major general and Major General Mccain, former adiutant general, would be denoted to their old regular rank before signing of the peace terms. Criticising the promotion system the senator added:
 The chief of staff has been vested with military authority from day to day until he has almost become a law unto himself"
 He said the persons responsible for tho lair fiasco" should have been tried
 Senator Kirby of Arkansas. democrat. replied briefly to Senator Frelinghuysen He charged that incidents had been un- duly enlarged upon and said criticisms had been made for partisan purposes and with little and often no foundation in fact
 The ratio of complaints to the men involved has been exceedingly small. Senator Kirby declared.

Montgomery, February 5.-(Special.)
 record as favoringN the granting of more power to the governor to remove appoint ed officials. A substitute bill of MT. Acker, administration floor leader in the senate. passed the senate by vote of 29 to 3, after several senators had spoke against the measure. Two amendments were added, one changing the caption of the bill and the other providing that the governor shall not have power to remove trustees of public institutions of the state.
 The bill as passed in the senate, with ,the amendments, follows ITO fix and limit the term of officers of the state, of any political subdivision thereof, who hold office under appointment of the gov error, and to authorize the governor to remove any officer of the state or any political subdivision thereof who holds office under appointment of the governor. except county officers"
 The strongest opponents of the substi- this bill were Baker of Pike and Huddle- ston of Fillmore. Senator Craft of Mobile spoke for the bill. saying he had the ut- most confidence in the governor.
 Addressing the senate. MT. Baker said there was too much factionalism in evil dence" in the measure. He therefore would not vote for the bill
 Huddleston of Elmore said he would vote for bill which would empower the present governor to remove only men he appointed to office He did not believe Mir. kilby, the governor. should be em- powered to remove appointees of former governor, and he believed the bill should be operative only for the four-year term of MT. Kilby. This would have killed the effectiveness of the substitute it was contended. He said he did not believe in standardization of political powers with the governor.
 Espy of Houston county believed the bill would make more efficient the officers who are and have been named by the gov ernor. They would always realize that this bill would empower the governor to remove them. "The bill will get out of the way the dead timber,' said he,
 Senator Mcdowell in the senate gave notice he will at the next legislative day make a motion that his bill. relating to, the exchange of passes by railroads to of the state be taken from the adverse calendar. The bill was placed on the adverse calendar by the senate ways, means and appropriations commit tee Wednesday morning.

MORE CRITICISM 20F PRESIDENT AS HOUSE TAXES UP
 THE NAVAL BILL
Wilson Cables COngratula. tiOns At Unanimous Re
 port On 3-Year Pro-
 gramme As Adopted On Tuesday
By Associated Fress

Washington, February ). Consideration by the House to- day of the annual naval ap- propriation bill brought forth more criticism of President Wilson, some members assert ing that he was endeavoring to force the authorization of new three-yeaf building programme without taking Congress into his confidence as to events at Paris which made such legisla2 tion necessary at this time.
 Discussion along this line followed re- ceipt by Chairman Padgett of the navai committee, of a cablegram from the President expressing satisfaction with the unanimous decision of the naval com mittee to recommend the new construc- ton programme. The message was not read in the House. but was made public by MT Padgett. It read:
 7 May 1 not express my qualification and gratitude and congratulations at the unanimous report on the three-year ne- val programme"
 4 There was little debate the bill itself and opposition to the~proposed in- crease in naval ships was voiced direct ly by only one member. Representative Little of Kansas, republican, who declared the construction would add to the coun- trys financial burdens lat a time whee we have no enemy in the world"
 GRAHAM FAvORS PLANS
 Representative Graham of Illinois, publican, declaring a desire for big navy, said the new programme was mot extraordinarily large for our future safe .-ty," but added that in voting for the ex- pansion it would be humiliating to him if it appeared that he did so "by the whip and spur that is being ad- ministered by the President" He re- ferred to message sent by the Presi- dent to Secretary Daniels insisting on a three-year programme and which was the
