THE SCHN OIL ARMY.

The return of children to school today is a
far more important event than most of us re-
alize. These children form an army, prepar-
ing to reinforce us in attacking life's problems.
Those problems are more -knotty, more nu-
merous, than when present grownups were
serving their apprenticeships in the army of
education.
Bigger problems require better training,
more intensive study
To children, the return to school is rather a
sad affair. To grownups it has the coloring
Of an adventure for schooling is the door to
the future.
Somewhere among the millions of returning
school children are future presidents, future
millionaires, future scientists, future produc-
tive geniusesj future failures. Most of them,
sadly, will go through life not far removed from
failure. JSst how far removed, depends to
considerable extent on what they get out of
education.
Any one who comprehends the great changes
now taking place in the world realizes, that the
future will be an age of specialization far more
so than the present Therefore it is import
ant for youths, particularly boys, to decide as
early. as possible what careers they are best fit
ted to follow, With a definite goal in sight,
there will be less waste of time wandering
down lanes that lead off from the main road to
success.
Help them find their goals.

Daily Health Hint
YOUR COMPLEXION.
BY DIR. R. HABlSHOP.

Girls, do you buy your complexion
at the drug store or the grocery store
Let me tell you little beauty Sc
cret-the best and most lasting COM
plexions are bought from grocery
stores.
Despite the oft-repeated axiom that
beauty is only skin deep, you always
find the most beautiful compilations
walking hand in hand with good health
and unless you eat right, you can't be
healthy.
To maintains clear, healthy COM
plcxion it is necessary to eliminate
all body wastes promptly.
Wastes are not eliminated promptly
because the right food is not eaten.
elimination cannot go on thoroughly
unless the intestines are kept filled
up by eating the food that leaves a
residue in the intestinal tube after
digestion has done it's part.
Concentrated food leaves little or
no residue.
Every farmer knows that his live
stock, in winter, needs to be fed what
he calls roughage, that is, straw. It
fills UP the stomach and the intestinal
tube. This flling-up is necessary for
animals; it is equally necessary for
human beings.
The reason for sluggish elimination
is the eating of food that is too high
ly concentrated and leaves little or no
residue.
The concentrated forms in which
foods are now produced are largely
to blame. 81.
Such concentrated foods as sugars,
starches, fats, fruit juices, and all
fluid foods leaves little or no residue,
They are almost wholly absorbed
sent to the tissues and organs of the
body.
Other foods with Content. like the
skins and seeds of fruit; the outer
covering of grain, such as bran of
wheat and the skin of corn; the
stringy portions of vegetables, as
found in the outer layers of celery
and substantially all raw vegetables,
especially raw cabbage; the body Of
asparagus, spinach, string beans, or
anges, nuts, raisins, prunes and the
fiber of meats, all leave residue, be-
cause they are not soluble or d.
gestible and consequently are not abb

CURSE OF YOUTH.

Is the barefoot boy vanishing institution in
our cities? A travelling salesman sends this
letter:
Il make hundreds Of towns and cities, selling
my goods, and it strikes me that each year /
see fewer and fewer barefoot boys. Of course,
there still are many, padding about without
shoes, particularly in the smaller towns. But
am wondering if the time is not far off when
the barefoot boy will be curiosity in the big
cities. You can travel miles now without see
ing lad with a stubbed toe bound up in a wad
of cloth When was boy, a youngster wear
ing shoes and stockings in summer was so
scarce that people when they saw one wondered
what was wrong with him"
Many of the rest of us have noticed the grad
ual passing of the barefoot boy. City pave
ments are too hot for the unprotected foot. 1t
is a big loss for youth. How big loss, is
known only to the grown-up who in memory
has the delightful recollection of bare feet pad
ding through thick August dust of country
road or wiggling deliciously in mud puddles and
ruts after rain. Them were the days"
Another institution of which youth is being
robbed in the cities is the alley.
Real estate is too valuable to waste on alleys.
Blocks are being laid out smaller. The short
garage drive from the curb has taken the place
of the alley.
Oh, grievous loss What would boyhood
have been like, years ago, without the alleys
through which we explored, gathering scrap
iron and bones in a dirty old burlap bag for the
junkman? High board fences were along
those alleys, to keep youthful pirates out of
orchards at the back of yards large enough to
play ball game in.
The alleys are passing. So are the tall back
fences So are the huge back yards. A gar
age and a strip of half-dead grass the size of a
living-room rug are all that separate the typical
modern city house from the neighbor on the
street in the year Youth on the pavements,
lodging the auto maniacs who curse them and
wonder why parents don't keep their brats
off the streets"
We grown-ups talk lot about the discom-
forts of metropolitan congestion. But it is
youth that is footing the lions share of the
bill Another SO years of progress" and
there will not be any such thing as boyhood in
this stiles Babies will be handed radio outfits
and c&her pacifiers when they begin wondering

We're fortunate now, to be getting old.

ARE WOMEN NEEDED.

Women have been voting nationally for
nearly three years. They have participated in
the election of the President and Congress and
have shown keen interest in the lesser but still
important contests for local offices in their
immediate communities.
Just what benefits have been derived by the
government as a result of practically doubling
the nations electorate?
Mrs Harriet Taylor Upton, vice-chairman of
the Republican National Executive committee,
who has worked with both men and women in
public affairs for many years, summed up the
effect Of women in politics when she said:
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1922-09-07

The new woman voter is carrying out her
political convictions with the same kind of
courage with which the female protects her
young. She knows what is right in her own
soul and does not easily change her standards.
Women are primarily interested and are
deeply concerned in the effect which politics
has on the future manhood and womanhood of
this country
Women are interested in the conservation
OF life. They care for the things which affect
their homes and their children
Mrs. Upton voices the thoughts of men and
women who have itelligently studied the re-
suits OF women's participation in government.
Women carry the thought of what is best for
the homes of the nation with them when they
go to the polls Consequently they are proving
that they are humanizing factor in politics.

Beware the Parasite!

Stockjobbing = parasite of booming
inventions struck radio.
Wildcat investments have sprung up
with the rise in popularity of wireless
And with these has come a countless
number of questionable inventions to be
sold to radio fans at any cost.
This epidemic of pirate radio parts,
as they are called, has struck this bust
ness so terrifcally that it has caused a
turmoil in the ranks of the established
manufacturers and amateurs. Radio
companies have sprung up like mush-
rooms after storm. And with them
have come all sorts Of radio apparatus
good, bad and indifferent.
Inscriptions brokers have taken ad-
vantage of the sudden popularity of
radio. They have organized" COM
panies of large sounding names and
high paper value only to fleece the
gullible public of its money. Blue sky
lows have been no hindrance to them
apparently, for they have gone on gath
ering in their dollars from the "one-a-
minute" class just as though there
were no law to check them.

The Better Business Bureau of New
York City, in cooperation with the
National Vigilance Committee of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World, has taken steps to break up
these wildcat schemes. But they can
