A SIGN POST.

Bo large has been the percentage of young men found unfit for military duty that the best minds in the country are coming to look upon the draft as a timely warning to the natioii. 5? Terre Haute's twenty-seven per cent has be^n lcwer than that of mos cities s A.f»l the country. General Crowder say? that so far as the work has progressed the general average is thirtv-thiee ^I-.'per cent. 0^, Can it be possible that more than one-third of our young men between

O?.,

C21

and 31 years of age are physically or unsound? If the draft establishes this, i It will be worth all the trouble ar.d exo« p»»nre caused hy the war, for that is Of a dangerous condition of affairs and ©Tie calling for immediate actlor.

Not only the military future of the

•,

.i ^country, but its economic and indusK trial future are Involved in the health *.of Its young men. That Is a question ?, thut cannot be neglected. 1^' i. Tn the absence of any universal sys'tern of training or examination we have no statistics to guide us in such matters, but the percentage of unilt

Indicated by the early returns is Certainly higher than In Germany or Switzerland, where auch systems pre-

*s in times to come we may looV. back to this draft as the beginning of wisCom. The first step in curing human

Ills is to diagnose and catalogue them. The draft examinations furnish the first opportunity we have had to do

thl« on a large scale atWl the .results

cannot fail to be beneficial. r" If.the returns show that a^y ex*ces1 sive proportion of our young men, at a time of life when they should be in fiili strength and vigor, are suffering i from curable ills, steps must be taker: to remedy those ills. This may mean i universal military training or some pother means of dealing with the situation *8 revealed. Whatever form It may take, vte may thank the draft for calling our attention to a national ^jerll. I

The war develops so many of these aspects of life, that occasionally, one thinks it is worth the cost.

transportation. You would have wondered what Munchausen was writing the world's "history. You would have dropped the book and marveled at this new writer, of fiction. But here is the case:

Experts all agree 'hat with matters going as they are at present the U-boat can win the war, though at no such early date as that set by Germans. The allies base their claim to eventual victory upon the belief that they can hold the U-boats down long enough to win on land or to find and apply some effective defense against under-sea attack.

Everything that makes the task before the U-boats bigger or more difficult puts the possibility of their victory further into the future and adds to the probability that they will never win.

This country Is spending money by the. hundreds of millions to build ships in the full expectation that many of them will be sunk but with the knowledge that every one of them will defer the German hope of victory. Norway now offers an opportunity to add a million tons to the Atlantic fleet simply by the stroke of & pen. The offer Norway makes is to release a million tons of shipping In exchange for food, and they offer guarantees that none of the food will reach Germany.

Even if aom'e food were to reach Germany, this-offer would look like a good bargain, and while we must protect our own vital interests we must remember the vital interests of friendly neutral*. Dr. Nansen says his country is actually facing starvation, and he is not a man who has hysterics or tells untruths..

CARRY YOUR BUNDLES.

Two Terre Haute women clubs have given their approval of the latest conservation move by the merchants of the country and have decided to carry home all of their purchases wherever possible.

The parcel question grows in interest. Mrs. Marcella Scott Is credited with suggesting a movement to Induce the stores to give a discount to the shoppers in return for carrying purchases home.

It has been pointed out, however, that unless there was a general agreement among customers, as well as among stores, this suggestion could not be carried out. It would require a comprehensive scheme that would be extremely difficult to enforce. One dealer declares that the reduction of packages carried wouldn't be sufficient to warrant an abandonment of all the delivery routes. He added that it cost his firm an average of cents,apiece for every purchase delivered.

All the dealers agree that the customers can greatly aid in solving the problem—to their ultimate advantage —if they will carry such packages as they can reasonably handle, and cut out the growing and usually unreason able habit of exchanging goods.

The Philadelphia Ledger states that cne of its biggest department stores has customers who return three-quar-ters and even nine-te»ths of the things they buy.

MEET MR. BEAN.

A Tribune reader writes: "The Tribune has had much to say about food conservation. It ought to conduct a little campaign to illuminate the general public on what d. good friend it is missing in not knowing intimately the soy bean." We have looked up this particular bean's qualifications. T^tie government says in a recent bulletin that the soy bean is worth knowing. Although it halls from the far east, it may yet become a highly prized member of American households.

Soy beans are not total strangers in this country, however. They were first introduced into the United States some thirty-five years ago. They were first fed to stock, planted as a cover crop and fertilizer, utilized in tlie manufacture of oils for paints, varnishes, soaps and rubber substitutes.

Now they are coming to be used as human food. A government expert who has studied the modest stranger, declares that soy beans as a food are vastly superior t« the highly prized New England baked lyan. Ordering them in Boston, however, probably would, prove futile.

Although one pound of soy beans contains only one-half as much starch as the Ordinary navy beans, it contains one and a half times as much tissue building material and eleven times a much heat or energy furnishing material.

Thus pound for pound, the soy beans are not only much more efficient meat substitutes, but also furnish to the body one and a fourth times as much energy as the common navy beans.

Better still, they sell for less than one-half the price of navy beans, thus making them about three times as cheap in relation to their value in the body as navy beans.

Thus you can see in these days of high priced meat, eggs and mila that these soy beans can well be used (if another excellent meat substitute.

In cooking soy beans, however, the important point to remember is that

•••X

they are *fery dry and hard and must always be soaked aver night and then cooked several hours at a low temperature until Entirely soft. The fireless cooker is ideal for cooking soy beans.

WITH ALL HONOR.

The cream of Terre Haute citizenship, which is jjiow being tested and •card-indexed for service for its country. can feel that their sacrifice is Just as honorable us if they had constituted volunteer at my. Sine® the entrance of the United States into the war, approximately four months ago, considerably more than a million men have volunteered for military or naval service. Of that number about 550,000 have been accepted and are now enlisted.

Considering the fact that the country has not been invaded and has not been in peril at any time, the showing is good, and those who opposed the draft might resort to it for evidence that they were right after all, but no such conclusion is warranted.

Few doubted the ability of this country to raise It large army by soliciting volunteer*, and had that been the method chosen and had intensive methods been used, the number of volunteers secured'in the first four months might have been greater than that which was actually Obtained.

Under the method adopted, however, the country has raised all the men that can be trained for the present, and has been able to go forward with plans for arming and training a predetermined number of men with the certainty that the number so determined would be available at such times as the country wjb ready for them.

At this time cantonments are under construction which will accommodate a, certain number of men There is no guesswork about how large they should be, and there will be a man for every bunk when the work is done. If we are still fighting next August, the country will be equally assured of men to fill the gaps, and all the while they will be the men who can fight the best. Selection for service is a fine compliment to any young man. It is a tribute to his physical and mental make-up that marks him as a real American.

Of course the "la'-id grant" railroads never expected Uncle 6am to have an army running into the millions.

The patriotic woman who called war"God's laundry" had no reference to the mud on the west front.

That heat wave' lasted just long enough to give us an idea- what 'we ^jav? missed this summer.

Commanders en the west front might have some cards printed, thus: Battle Called—Rain.

The national guardsmen don't know where they are going, but they are on their way.

If congress does not hurry up with that East St. Louis probe the trail will be cold.

Crop prospects in this country may be summed up in one word—Bully.

If Austria wants peace badly enough, she can get it.

HOROSCOPE.

"The Stars Incline, Bit Do Net Compel." Copyright, 1915, -by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Wednesday, August 8, 1917.

This is an unlucky day, according to astrology. Uranus is changeable from good to ill, while Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune are all adverse. Late in the evening the sua has a kindly power.

Under this sway the mind is likely to be subject to quick changes oi mood and despondency is common. It is well to seek pleasant friends and to afoid the contemplation of hard facts.

Jupiter will exercise a strange lure in the coming months, it is predicted, for many conservative men and women will seek money-making occupations more or lcSs risky.

Bankers are warned of some occurrence that will be very serious for them.

This is a most unlucky rule under which is to' enter into partnership or agreements.

The signing of contracts will be a disappointment under this planetary government, it is declared, and actresses shpuld be particularly careful.

Love affairs are not well-directed today. It is not ^n auspicious day for weddings.

Women are warned against the possible temptation to indulge ih foolish flirtations. The stars a-e believed to encourage romances that lead to misfortune, married persons being especially susceptible.

New,York state is subject to influences, making for many sensations, some of which will be furnished by the special session cf the legislature.

Again attention is called to the fact that the war through vibrations will he registered on the public mind and will be reflected in increase of crime??.
