Dear Mr.. Wood:
II understand that you are assist
ing in the promotion of the Citizens
Military Training Camps and would
like to know how I regard them.
For two years 1 have visited Camp
Dovens when the young men were In
training there and have looked into
tho matter carefully.
perhaps the best way for me to ex-
press my views is to say that, il /
were of suitable age I should avail
myself of the opportunity to take the
training offered by the United states
Government. / believe it would be
helpful to mo both physically and
mentally.
"Althoueh l am opposed TO both uni
Nersal military training for our young
men and what is popularity understood
10 be 'militarism'. [ am glad to en-
,lorso the Citizens Military Training
Camps.
"'rhcsc camps are schools OF Democ-
racy and afford our young men an OPP
portunity to acquire IL reasonable
amount Of discipline, great deal of
physical training and some of the rudi-
mcnts of military art. Although /
have no children Of my own, l have n
nephew who. in two years. will be of
proper age to attend n camp and /
shall advise him to do so.

the fundamentals of military knowl-
edge. The present training camps are
open to young men between the ages
of II and "a years. of good moral
character and normal physique. BE.
tween 10000 and 10000 young men all
over the United States are being given
each year. 80 days of instruction un-
der the best officers of the United
States Army, with all expenses in
Guiding fares from their homes to the
camp and return. as well as uniform
subsistence and quarters paid by the
War Department.
In almost every instance, these
young men return to their homes
showing distinctly both physical and
mental benefits after this month ir
the open. The object is not only tC
give them the rudiments OF military
training, but to awaken in them 2
sense of their responsibility as citi.
zens of the United States. and to give
them broader viewpoint through q

All too often women accept their

kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy

new health and strength by helping
the weakened kidneys with Doan's

Fire Don IS

The first cold, windy days
usually stimulate the activities
about the fire hall. The fire.
men know that chimney flares,
roof fires, burning trash and
other little things will start a
blaze somewhere.
It's true here. It's true every
where. After answering Is or
80 calls in one day, Chief Cody,
of the Atlanta fire department,
realizing that most of the fires
came from simple carelessness,
drew up the following Ten
Commandments" each begin
ming with an emphatic DON'T:
l. Don't burn grass, leaves or
rubbish on a windy day.
2. Don't put ashes in wood
en- container.
3. Don't pile greasy waste or
rags, which often cause : spon-
taneous combustion.
A. Don't pile rubbish or
kindlng near a furnace.
5. Don't keep gasoline in bot
ties or other glass containers;
keep in metal containers.
6. Don't throw cigarette or
cigar stubbs out of an open
window-there is danger of ig-
hitting something.
7. Don't be careless with oil
stoves
s. Don't fail to examine flues
and chimneys, after a period of
inactivity, before starting fires.
8. Don't set furniture or 9TH
er combustible material fur
mace vent or too near an open
fire.
10. pon't allow single roofs
to deteriorate to such an ex-
tent that they will be ignited by
flying sparks.
All of which means, in a
word, DON'T BE CARELESS
There's brain in your head, SC
use it and there'll be fewer fires
