FOR CONTROL OF UGLiNEss
Science Should Be Capable Of Rem
sdylng or Preventing Defects,
Either Physical or Mental.

Why is 1t that one member of fam
lily Is ugly or imperfectly developed
while. all the others are practically
perfect In form and features?
Nearly every family has its ugly
member. If the defects happen to be
physical the sufferer will be known
AS the runt of the family, or If the de-
fects are of the morals. as the black
ssheep.
There are good and sufficient causes
for all physical and moral ugliness and
there Is no reason why these causes
may not be discovered and controlled.
Why should one member of fam
lily be made sick by eating the same
food the others eat and that he has
often eaten before?
To say that it doesn't happen to
agree with him may be satisfactory to
some, but to the intelligent, inquiring
physician 1t is not There is some
thing wrong with the human machine
or it would produce proper results.
To the mechanical engineer improper
results are suggestive either of lack
or of perversion Of energy. The Or
gan or portion Of machinery that has
failed to do its proper share Of work
has not been supplied with its proper
share Of nerve force.

Young Lady Nurse of
Sterling Arrives Home
Miss Hazel Nelson Served Fourteen
Months As Red Cross
Nurse
HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH WORK

Miss Hazel Nelson, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D Nelson of Sterl
ing, arrived in Blackfoot Tuesday
morning and left Immediately fol-
the parental home at Sterling, which
she left fourteen months ago to en-.
ter the service of the United States
as Red Cross nurse. Miss Nelson
has enjoyed the work of Red Cross
nursing. in several camps of the
states, but did not get to France. AT
| one time she was all ready to set sail
but was taken suddenly Ill and the
journey had to be postponed. She
was then booked to leave fofS France
on the fifteenth OF November, but the
signing of the armistice a few days
previous to that date made it ,neces-
say to cancel that arrangement.
Miss Nelson was discharged from
Camp Jay, Va. at which place she
was engaged in the work of receiving
overseas soldiers.
She spent most of the time at the
Fort Riley, Kan. Red Cross head
quarters and it. was there that she,
together with the balance of the
nurse force were asked to attend the
sixty-nineth review. This was the
first time that a woman had been
asked to witness a review and the
nurses realized the honor of it all.
Miss Nelson says it was wonderful
sight to see 10000 men and officers
in full equipment going thru the de-
tailed routine that is necessary in
review before they are demobilized.
She also states that the girls drew
much attention due to the fact that
it was such an unusual incident and
also because of the wonderful ap-
pearance of the Red Cross capes and
uniforms with their bright red lin
ings and blue outer surface all
thrown back. She says there were
moving picture machines and kodaks
on them galore and she Is the pos
SCISSOR of one of the pictures which
she treasures and prizes highly.
On another occasion they had the
privilege of getting general re-
view of $4,000 soldiers in full equip
ment. The sight, she says, was so
wonderful it was beyond expression
and one could not help but realize
the spendor of it all and yet it was
just little distressing when one
stopped to think what it all meant.
At this particular time Miss Nelson
stood for two hours and half with
a continuous array of troops passing
all the time.
The influenza scurge bothered
quite a little at Fort Riley and for
a while the average death toll per

KILL AMERICANS
BANDITS SCORE MANY oUTRAGEs
IN THE RICH TAMPIco
OIL FIELDS.
Repeated Raids Result In Death Of
Many American Citizens, the Serious

Loss in Property.

Washington.-A chronological state
ment Of bandit outrages in the Tam
pico oil fields, compiled from official
sources, has been submitted to the
state department. The statement deals
with the period from August Is. 1917
to the present and records the killing
of twelve men, including eight Ameri.
can citizens; the wounding or other.
wise seriously injuring of thirty-one
people including nine women, some OF
them Americans; the theft of more
than $4,000 in cash, American gold
property destroyed valued at more
than $4,000, and the theft of much
live stock.
In all, lis raids, attacks, holdups
and battles are listed In the record,
which includes the depredations per-
petrated upon the properties and en-
plOyes of fourteen different oil COM
panies.
Officials said that with few excep-
lions these depredations occurred in
territory occupied and controlled by
the loyal Mexican forces sent to the
oil fields in an effort to dislodge the
bandit Pelaez and that in many cases
the regular Mexican soldiers were in
vOlved. BY local law, foreigners are
not allowed to carry arms, so that lit
tie resistance could be made when the
bandits attacked.
The paymasters of the various COM
panies, 1t was said here, are compelled
to notify Mexican officials at Tampico
of the time when they propose to go
to the outlying districts to pay EN-
ployes and the amount of money they
will take. In several instances, it was
said, the bandits were not satisfied
with the amount of money offered
them when they held up the paymas-
tiers and their escorts and demanded
the exact sum previously declared by
the company to the Tampico officials.
This has led to charges of collision
being formally filed with the Mexican
government. ..
