Don't Let That Cold
Turn Into "Flu"
Rub on Good Old MusferoE,

That cold may turn into "Flu, "
Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia,
unless you take care of it at once.
Rub good old Musterole on the con-
gested parts and see how quickly it
brings relief.
Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole, made from pure oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other simple
ingredients, is counter-irritant which
stimulates circulation and helps break
up the cold.
AS effective as the messy old mustard
plaster, does the work without blister.
Just rub it on with your finger tips.
You will feel q. warm tingle as it enters
the pores, then cooling sensation that
brings welcome relief.
To Mothers: Musterole is now
made in milder form for
babies and snall children.
Ask for Children's Musterole.

Military Officer Makes An
Explanation Of His Work

Major H. o. Olson, senior instructor
Of Infantry of the National Guard,
spent Friday and Saturday in Delta
on at trip to Co. C. The purpose of
his visit was to inspect the work being
done by the local company The an
nual inspection of this company will
be held in February.
In an interview Major Olson said in
part;
Strange as it may seen, there is
general lack OF understanding on the
part of the majority of the public as
to what the National Guard Of today
really is. Most people either know
nothing about it, or else view it on
the light Of the militia companies of
years ago. There are some very strik-
ing and important differences.
AT the close of the World War our
country decided that we should not
again be caught in the defenseless con-
dition in which We were caught in
1917. In 1920 the Congress Of the
United States passed what is known as
the National Defense Act of June 4.
1920. This act established the first
really broadminded, comprehensive
and practical military policy our coun-
try has ever had.
This act provides for an army of the
United States, to. be composed Of three
parts. First, the Regular Army. an
active force, to be instantly ready in
case of an emergency, known as the
first line Of defense. Second. the Ma
tional Guard, semi-active force in
time Of peace, organized, equipped and
trained according to regular army
standards, and ready for service after
a comparatively short time of train
ing, in case of an emergency and
known as the second line Of defense.
Third. the organized Reserves, a pure
ly paper organization and entirely in
active in time OF peace. but available
for service after considerable period
Of training, known as the third line Of
defense.
This same act fixed the strength Of
the regular army at 2SOOO0 men The
strength of the National Guard was
apportioned among the various states
and was fixed on the basis Of 500
men per Senator and Representative
in Congress. This gave an equitable
distribution amongst the states, based
upon population.
The National Guard of the United
States is organized into units of the
various arms, departments and serv-
ices, so as to form a well-balanced. de-
fensive body and offensive If need be.
The maintenance Of the National
Guard is a three-sided affair. The
National Government prescribes the
organization and training, furnishes
uniforms, arms and equipment and
pays the personnel for prescribed
The Delta independent., 1923-11-30

duties. The State Government is re-
quired to furnish armories, storage
the care and protection of property,
caretaker's pay, fuel, light, etc.
Speaking for Colorado, parts one
and two have been generously car
ried out. The federal government has
furnished clothing, arms, equipment,
instructors and stands ready to pay,
and does pay everyone for performed
duty. The State Government has
furnished beautiful and substantial
armories to communities and neces-
sary up-keep. AS to the third part,
the community part of keeping up
organizations, conditions are unfor-
tunately, not so satisfactory as a gen.
eral rule.
What obligation did a community
assume when it received from the
state an armory, varying in value
from $4,000 to $4,000? 1t pledged
itself TO maintain an organization,
not any kind Of paper or make-be-
lieye organization but an organiza-
ton that Uncle Sam will recognize
in strength, attitude and activity
This does not make it a piece of
work for George to do, but is yours

From a purely financial point, a
company of 65 men attending drills is
prescribed go drills of ~ hours per
week, means a clean income of $4,000
to $4,000 a year to a community. Not
to be sneezed at.
