The New Leaven.

The rehabilitation of something like
two million men is bound to have far
reaching results throughout the United
States. Every city, every hamlet, each
community, is bound to be more or less
affected by the return to civil life and
civil duties of these men who, for
space of time, have known the value OF
military discipline and military educa-
ton.
In no one thing will this new leaven
be felt more strongly than as an aid to
the u. s. Public Health Services cam
paign for the suppression of prosttu-
ton and the eradication or venereal
diseases. AS soon as those men DON
ned the uniform of the United States
they began to receive an education in
matters of social hygiene. They were
taught the inexorable law that an un
clean man-unclean physically or
morally cannot be fit nor an efficient
man. The facts as to right thinking,
right living, the almost unbelievable
prevalence Of disease infection among
immoral women, the value Of contin-
ence, the baleful effect, even upon
children yet unborn, of the venereal
dseases-all these facts have been
made known to every man who is soon
to return to his home.
In one sense each one Of these re-
turning soldiers will be missionary to
his home community. BY his example
no less than by his precept he will aid
the entire country in understanding
the work that is being done by the State
Boards Of Health, backed up by the
u. S. Public Health Service, to free
the country from the curse OF venereal
diseases.
Each community has the right TO be
proud Of the fine achievement OF its
soldiers, and the influence they will
exert, perhaps unconsciously, when
they come home, is certain TO be reck
oned with, and so far as the returning
soldiers pass on the lessons in social
hygiene which they themselves have
learned, that leaven must be wholly
good.
II behooves every citizen to stand
shoulder to shoulder with the return
ed soldiers in the fight for clean ma
tion being made by the government
through the Bureau Of Venereal Dis
eases Of the State Department OF
Health in Charleston.

Home Again.

Home again-not as crippled de-
tenders, but as self-supporting, conf
dent men. What does the loss of a
single arm or leg to one who is prepar-
ing to WELD the gavel in the court
room, or expound the theory of par
allel lines meeting at infinity?
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education states that of 1877 disabled
veterans being retrained free of
charge by the government consider
able number are in the professions.
Two men have taken UP theology; 54
are studying engineering; Fl are taking
ing mechanical drawing; 8 men are
qualifying as doctors. Others are
studying architecture, chemistry, for
eign trade, law, music, salesmanship.
Elementary academic courses are be-
ing taken by % illiterates.
Substitution Of brain work for
manuel dexterity could hardly be call
ed a loss either to the individual con-
cerned or to the community. There
will still be plenty of two armed men
who can be butchers, though there
happens to be one who before he lost
an arm in the war was butcher and
who is now a telephone operator. A
former carpenter, losing both arms,
is now building inspector.
To the time of the armistice 10000
men were returned from overseas.
These represent cases which were so
badly disabled they could not be used
even for non-combat or behind the
lines service. Eighty-five and five
tenths per cent of other wounded men,
however, were returned to duty, either
at the front or behind the lines, within
maximum period of ten weeks. Five
per cent were returned to duty back
of the front and only ten per cent
could not be used either at the front or
behind the lines. Morality IN the
American forces was exceptionally
low.
February Is the Federal Board for
Vocational Education was in touch
with 22,S5l disabled soldiers. There
are still thousands Of badly wounded
men who must be restrained by the
government in order to fit them for
useful, happy lives. The United States
is too proud of the brave men who
fought its battles to allow them to be-
come dependents. Help give them
chance. The government needs the
loan of your money. Subscribe TO the
Victory Liberty Loan.

What's the Reason?
Many Shepherdstown People In Poor
Health Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores OF people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause OF their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness, Ian
guor and depression. Perhaps the kid
neys have fallen behind in their work
OF filtering the blood and that may be
the root OF the trouble. Look 10 your
kidneys, assist them in their work
give them the help they need. You can
use no more highly recommended rem
edy than Doan's Kidney Pills-en-
dorsed by people all over the country
and by your neighbors in Shepherds
town.
Mrs. F. c. Rutherford, Washington
ST., Shepherdstown, says: "A few years
ago I was troubled with kidney COM

Doan's Kidney Pills, got box at

New Growth Brought About by Morale

One Of the best things about our part
in the war was the spirit of the men
in the selective draft Some of them,
especially in the first draft, feigned
sickness TO induce the doctors to refuse
them, but by the time of the third draft
the whole spirit had changed. One
typical instance was that Of South
Carolinian who had lost the thumb and
forefnger on his right hand. The doc
tor who examined him said at once
that he could not be taken into the ar
my. But the man insisted, and this is
what he said:
"Why, doctor, you don't mean that !
can't get into this army because I've
lost a thumb and finger. Why, doctor,
that's nothing at all for me. They're
only just off for the time being. Why,
doc, they always grow right back on
me-"
He was taken in, as he deserved, and
was a real soldier from the first minute

Thousand of men who entered the
fight perfect physically are now Grip
pies for life. These men will be taught
a method of earning their living by
the government. They must begin all
over again. The government merely
asks you to lend your money at fair
rate of interest to help pay the expense.

By curious coincidence the armIs-
tice became effective on the eleventh
hour OF the eleventh day OF the eleventh
month. That in itself might seem to
indicate that TO the Kaiser eleven is q
fateful number, but another coinci-
dence gives the theory even greater
weight The eleventh verse of the
eleventh chapter of the eleventh book
of the Bible says: Wherefore the
Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch
as this is done OF thee, and thou hast
not kept my covenant and my statutes,
which | have commanded thee, will
surely rend the kingdom from thee, and
will give it to thy servant"

For about an hour Aunt Mirandy's
three dusky offspring had been "pester-
