Branch Chairmen Urged to Got More Applications.

Following is a report from the military training camps association: The applications are not coming in rapidly enough, evidently many who have taken applications blanks are holding them. This should be avoided especially from the younger men, as the examining officers now have plenty of time to give careful consideration to their merits. We have been told that large numbers of men who are otherwise well qualified for leadership are not putting in applications because they . think that previous military experience is necessary. The typographical construction of the printed memorandum of information, section 4, qualifications, gives this impression for it is not until you get down to the last half of (h) that you come to the “Citizens who have demonstrated ability for leadership.” These will form the large majority of your applicants. If they look back over the whole section of qualifications they may think that they form only the tail end, but as a matter of fact the number of men with previous military experience now -remaining in civil life in this country is very small and 90 per cent of the men who will be accepted for the second officers’ training camps will have had no previous military experience. The training camps are held to give them this military experience. It is to be clearly noted that the minimum age is 20 years and 9 months and that any person of that age or older may put in applications. It is quite natural that the government should give the preference to older men who are just as well qualified as younger men, but there will not be a great number of older men and this will leave great opportunities for the younger men. This is especially favorable for men of 25 years of age, who should be encouraged to put in their applications. _____

Exemptions From Service Made Only After Strict .Examination.

Exemption from military service will be granted only after a strict, examination. The man must prove his industry is necessary to the maintenance of national interest and that his services are indispensible to industry. Appellate exemption boards will examine carefully all cases of clerical workers and farmers before granting exemption. In cases of munition workers, miners, and other workers on lines of national interest there will be practically no question. Information emanating from the white house has led to the belief that the draft will be much heavier, eventually, than has been expected. Instead of merely procuring men for the army, many will be drafted for other work in connection with the war. The grounds on which exemptions will be made have become known. They follow: . 1. Physical Incapacity—Crippled persons, if drafted, will, of course, have to appear before a medical examiner, but will be immediately excused from service. In the first 625,000 conscripts the following physical ailments will disqualify: Heart disease, flat feet, eye diseases or derangements which cannot be cured by glasses, tuberculosis and other chest diseases, cancer, serious affection of the kidneys or liver, varicose veins, infectious blood diseases. 2. Employment in vital war industries. These include shipbuilding, munitions making, work in gun factories, navy yards, oil fields, coal mines, certain duties in government departments and certain factory work. These latter eventually will be turned over largely to women and the men will be released for army service. 3. The conscription act specifically provides exemption for persons of religious beliefs opposed to war. To obtain such exemption, however, a man must have been a member of the faith in question before March 15, 1917. 4. Men the sole support of families. ■ The regulations to be issued by President Wilson will be long and wilKgo into each exemption at length. All that now remains is the publication by the president of rules for the board’s guidance and the setting of a day for the draft. The latter will be done within the next two weeks, according to indications.

CARE OF THE TEETH.

It is a child’s right to be well taught, and one of the things which our children will hold against us is our failure to teach them to care for their teeth. We are in a measure responsible for this neglect. As decayed teeth and gums bring on a myriad of ills, in digestion, rheumatism and other diseases such as pyarrhea, which is a shrinking away and diseased condition of the gums. While we may not be entirely free from the risk of having it, our chances are fewer and less liable if our teeth are kept clean. If our children are taught this habit of care of their teeth early in life, in their old age they will reap the rewards of our unceasing labor, for it must be unceasing to duly impress upon the plastic minds of our children the terrible results of failure to keep the teeth clean. Man is not by nature a lover of cleanliness, as it requires much effort and we are prone to put forth only enough energy to provide whatever we consider necessities. Least of all necessities is a clean face, hands and teeth to a child. We have some thnigs by instinct but cleanliness is not one of them. The teeth to be properly cared for should be• brushed after each meal. Many simple household articles are excellent as tooth washes. Salt is very good as in time it toughens the gums and makes them firm. Common baking soda is valuable in cleaning the teeth as it t entsdoeovsls ing the teeth as it tends to dissolve any acids in the mouth due to acidity of the stomach. No better remedy is known to whiten teeth than ordinary cahrcoal. Commercialism has added charcoal to its wares in the form of powdered charcoal but to most of us ordinary charcoal from the kitchen range, where wood is burned, will answer the purpose equally as well. With daily care the teeth are a valuable asset to O'Ur looks and while we may consider this a small item, we are judged by strangers by our personal hygiene. Many are always seeking to avoid pain, but too often look only to the present instead of the future as it is from the future we reap as we have sown in caring for the teeth; Many good tooth pastes are on the market, those advertised in reliable magazines or one your dentist will recommend will aid you in choosing that which is beneficial and not injurious ‘to teeth and gums. Powdered pumice stone if used once a month will remove all discolorations, used on a small cloth wrapped around a toothpick it will penetrate all crevices. Do not use this on your tooth brush as it is too gritty a substance ot use strenuously upon the enamel of your teeth. _ In many of the states where hygiene is being taught in the states, children are being taught the necessity of keeping their teeth clean so no germs may lurk there. Whether or not children are taught at school or not, we must strive to* impress more forcibly upon their minds how necessary clean teeth are as a protection against disease. Many cases of rheumatism and other diseases are due to simple infection, the source of which may often be found in bad teeth. If anything can produce more misery than toothache or indigestion, which is often caused by bath teeth, it is yet to be discovered. Marie Comer, Indiana.
