An scid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and

CONGRESS HAS PLAN
FOR MILITARY TRAINING

Legislation which would amount
10 virtual reorganization of the ar
my, with protection from outside at
tack as primary purpose and with
compulsory military training for
boys from Is to 81 years of age as
leading feature, has been agreed
upon tentatively by the senate mil
itary subcommittee considering a
permanent military policy for the
nation. Senator Wadsworth OF
New York, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, said the legislation would be
put in final form during the Christ
mas recess of congress for presenta-
ton to the full committee when the
senate reconvenes.
The legislation, as agreed upon by
the subcommittee, Senator Wads-
worth said, is completely new and
bears no resemblance to the army re-
organization bill drafted by the gen.
eral STAFF an transmitted to the
house and senate military commit
tees by Secretary Baker. The COM
mittee's present agreement, Senator
Wadsworth said, calls for perma-
nent standing army of 100000, al
though the committee may possibly
reduce this number in the final
draft. The smallest possible
standing army that will meet the
demands of this country is the aim
of the subcommittee.

USE CARE IN CUTTING TIMBER

Cordwood in large quantities is
being cut in all parts of the state In
order to help solve the fuel situa-
ton. There are no regulations as
to the amount or kind OF wood to
cut, but care should be taken in Sc
lecting trees to be felled as the state
has already passed through two
crises and IL is desirable TO have re-
serve for another.
One and a half million cords of
wood were consumed in Iowa in
1914. Three million tons of coal
were burned in 1918. Different
woods vary in heating value from
the equivalent of one ton of coal to
about 1900 pounds of ordinary coal.
These figures are based on dry wood.
A period of nine to IL months is
required to season thoroughly the
hardwood species and they should
not be cut for immediate USE The
softer woods, such as cottonwood,
soft maple and willow, season much
more rapidly and these should be
cut for quick consumption. Larger
trees should generally be chosen in
preference to sound small trees.
Wood should be split as soon as pos
sible after the logs are cut be-
cause the seasoning process is there
by fastened.

TRAIN RoBBER IN PRISON

Clarence Turner who recently
returned from Douglas, Wyo., states
that Bill Carlisle, the train robber,
who was caught near Douglas few
weeks ago had recovered sufficiently
from his wounds to be taken to the
state penitentiary at Rawlins.
Carlisle's fate seems to have
touched a sympathetic chord in
many places throughout the coun-
try. judging by the letters that
come to him. One from Oklahoma
combined lot of good advice with
material aid. The writer advised
Bill to lead a Christian life, be a
good prisoner and eventually secure
his release. Then he was advised
to apply to the Union Pacific for a
Job as train guard. Accompany
ing the letter was a draft for $25.
In a paper from Dougles that Mr.,
Turner received we learn that Car
Isle has reached his destination for
the Cheyenne Tribune says
"Bill Carlisle will not face trial
for his recent escapades. 1t Is un-
derstood at the state capitol he will
be confined. closely to the peniten-
tiary, but that no effort will be made
to give him further punishment for
holding up Union Pacific train No.
10 three days after his escape from
Rawlins.
"Under the law he could be taken
into court and given the death PEN
atty for the robbery. AS 1t is he
will go back to serve his sentence Of
from 25 to so years. This is the
number awarded him when the
state board of pardons committed
his sentence from life.
Carlisle is now 20 years of age.
II he is kept at the prison for an
other quarter CT a century his pun
ishment, IL is figured, will be in keep
ing with his crimes. Besides, there
is always the possibility of death in
teryening under such conditions.
''The suggestion has been made
that the board could cancel Car
isles Communication on account of
his action in throwing discipline to
the dogs, but it is understood that
there is no present intention Of do
ing this"
