Dr. Charles E. Barker, health advocate and former physical adviser to ex-President Taft, will give a series of health tal!t3 In Richmond, April 14 to 19. Dr. Barker believes In health as a patriotic duty, pointing out that it is our duty r.ow to be at our highest . point of efficiency. If the men in the camps are to be put in the best physical .condition to face the struggle In France, the men at home should be in good physical condition to back up , efficiently the men at the front, he 1 1 says. Physical fitness rather than exaggerated interest In athletics is advocated by Dr. Barker. Health and energy and the personality that comes from perfect health from moderate physical development, he claims. The subject of the lectures which , ie delivers are "Patriotism and Wealth," "The Finest of Arts, or How to be Always Happy," "How to Make the Most Out of Life," "How Woman Can Find and Keep Good Health," "Health, Happiness and Religion," "How a Busy Man Can Keep Well," and "How to Live a Hundred Years."

Kraeger's Resignation in Governor's Office INDIANAPOLIS, April 4. The resignation of Dr. F. W. Krueger, member of the Wayne county conscription board No. 1 of Richmond, was received today at the governor's office.

ANTI-SPY BILL UP IN SENATE WASHINGTON, April 4. German spies, propogandists and persons making disloyal utterances were denounced In the senate today when an effort was made to rush through a house bill providing penalties of 20 years Imprisonment and $10,000 fine for Interference with government bond sales, acts intending to interfere with the army draft and disloyal statements. "We have got to do something to catch these scoundrels and spies all over the country," said Senator Overman of North Carolina. "People are taking the law Into their own hands on the ground that congress is not passing necessary laws. We hear reports of mobs everywhere." Senator Lodge of Massachusetts declared the bill would "not catch a single spy" asserting that spies do not do their work publicly or openly or make disloyal utterances. German propaganda has been "notoriously conducted" and the bills purposed to broaden the espionage law, Senator Walsh of Montana said. He said some federal courts have made "strained construction" of existing law and discharged persons who have denounced the president and the nation and ob structed the draft and bond subscription. LOAN CAMPAIGN WORKERS DINE A hundred men and women workers for the third Liberty loan drive attended the organization luncheon held Thursday noon in the gymnasium at the Y. M. C. A. building. Gov ernor Bamberger and Mrs. Bamberger of Utah, Miss Linna Bresette and C. H. Worden, of Fort Wayne, speakers at the general conference meeting held Thursday afternoon were guests of honor. Instructions concerning ths Liberty loan campaign were read by Charles W. Jordan for the county committee. "Remember that you are members of a "salesmanship organization for the best securities in the world," the instructions read. Short talks were made by Governor Bamberger, who complimented Indiana for its "bone dry" law ; Miss Bresette, Dr. J. J. Rae, William Dudley Foulke and C. II. Worden. "We are here to make plans as on the eve of a great battle, Mr. Worden said, "and the newspapers are the artillery that will help clear the way for the infantry that Is to follow." Tribute was paid by the speakers to the women members of the organization who are taking part in the Liberty loan drive as a unit. All emphasized the importance of supporting the war with our money as well as men, in order that we might not be defeated. Howard Dill, president of the Commercial club, presided. H. U.

On April 6, the third

The registration fee of 10 cents which has been made a voluntary gift in Illinois has been opposed in Indiana, and there will be no money 1 consideration connected with the reg istration in our state. The registration is of much more importance tnan the raising of money in view of the fact that the state and counties are providing money with which to carry on the war work of women as well as the war work done by the men, and any policy is deplorable which might tend to prevent any woman from reg istering, or cause confusion in the minds of the women of the state. It ! was argued too, that the charge of a fee of 10 cents for registering might
