When the news of another advance by the American boys came in last might and watt bulletined in our windows, A. M. Fisher and other enthusiasts, telephoned for the famous Dr. Neptune martial band and gave a little concert in honor of the boys who are fighting so bravely “over there.” Among the Decatur boys now overseas is Lawrence Garard. a former employee at this office. He left here with company A last September and was with the 139th in Camp Shelby. Miss., for seven or eight months. He left there about a month ago with a large number of other Adams county boys. 714,139.119 new coins, with a value of $43,596,895, were made during the fiscal year ending June 30 last, which breaks all previous records. The mints worked on a 24-hour a day basis most of the year. Over 500.000.000 cent pieces, nearly 83.000.000 nickels. 24.000,000 half dollars. 45 000.000 quir ters. and 116,000,000 dimes were coined.

A budget increase of more than $12,000,000 over last year to be used for was work was passed at the annual meeting of the national war work council of the Young Women's Christian Association in New York. Os the $15,000,000 raised a large appropriation will go for work among tjie girls employed in the national capital. The need for hostess houses, which are erected only at the request of the commanding officer of the camp concerned, has become so great that an appropriation more than doubling the amount spent last year has been made for the construction and upkeep of new houses. The standardization of certain sizes of containers used in Canada will be arranged so that it will he unnecessary hereafter to mark on them the actual ontent of the cans, according to a statement by the Canadian Grocer.

The General Federation of Womens Clubs has requested the Nalitmal Home Economics Association, the Na tional Education Association, and the Federal Vocational Board to use their influence in introducing child welfare as an integral part of all home economics courses of study offered in secondary schools, colleges and universities of the United States.

Experts believe that there is no chance for the United States to get the amount of potash needed to meet, demands next year. Estimates for 1918 show that there should be 150.000 tons K O. or from 400.000 to 500.000 tons of potash salts. This is only about half of the normal imports before the war. Commercial fertilizer concerns must bear the brunt of the shortage. In 1910 there was a domestic production of 9.720 tons, and this increased in 1917 to 126.577 tons. This output for 1917 was about 12 per cent of the-normal supply. :

TO TAKE DOCTORS Whole Medical Profession to be Taken Over by the Government. ARE TWO METHODS Considered for the Mobilization —Draft is Not Likely. Attention of the public in general and physicians in particular, is centered upon the report that the government is about to assume control of the entire medical profession in the United States. This will be done to obtain sufficient doctors for the fast growing army ami to distribute those remaining in localities where they may be most needed tor civilian work. Os the 143,000 doctors in the United States it is estimated that between 80,000 and 95,000 are in active practice while 23,000 or about one-fourth are in the army or navy. Nearly §•!,- 000 will be required eventually f>r the army. » This mobiization is to bfi accomplished either by enrolling all doctors in a volunteer service corps undir pledge to accept whatever service, military or civilian, is assigned them by the governing body of the corps or if the voluntary plan is not success ful by legislation providing for drafting them into government service. Medical officers of the. government believe compulsory conscription will not be neessary. art Institute scholarship.
