Doctors Needed for Army An appeal has gone out for doctors for service in the military establishment. It is needless to expatiate on the work these men are required

to perform. They are transferring their

sphere of usefulness from their home communities to the field of battle. Wayne county doctors have answered the calls in goodly numbers. But the demand is greater than the response, and so the patriotic physicians are called on to offer more men for the service. ' Physicians make great sacrifices when they leave their practices for the federal service. They ar doing what thousands of young men summoned into the army have done breaking home ties and interrupting their peace vocations. , That the call will not remain unheeded here goes without saying. As a class, Wayne county physicians have not lagged in their patriotism and devotion to duty. The new call will receive a hearty response here. The Stay-at-Homes Little honor is bestowed on the man or woman who is forced to stay at home when he or she is pining to see war service. Many men and women are badly needed at home. Their particular training makes them invaluable for the work that must be performed at home so that the boys may be able to go to the front and stay there. For instance, a nurse who has charge of the training of pupil nurses in a hospital cannot be replaced. To her falls the duty of schooling young women in the arduous work of nursing. If she were to rush into army service, a gap hard to fill would result, and instead of doing her maximum' service she probably would be doing exactly what her government did not want her to do. It is easier for the government to obtain nurses than to supply teachers of nurses. A teacher in a school for nurses is one of the unhonored heroines of the war. Little credit is given her for her decision to stick to her job and not to rush into the service. And yet she deserves as much recognition as the nurse who out of patriotic impulses enrolls for service in France.

Senator New on Universal Military Service Senator New is one of the men in the United States senate who has spoken with emphasis regarding the importance of training our young men for war work. He deplores war as much as any man, but he also believes that war may be thrust upon a nation against its will and that only the nation which is prepared to withstand an insolent foe will perpetuate its national existence. His logic is inexorable. No one can contradict the principle upon which Senator New bases his universal military service bill. It is idle to hope for a time when nations will be so holy in their ambitions that one country will not declare a war of aggression. We see an example of this in the ruthless manner in which Germany violated the sanctity of its treaty with Belgium. He scouts the idea of an international peace agreement after the great war which will make

impossible future wars. The New York Times quotes him at length as follows: "If such an agreement is made, and there is reason to believe that it is in good faith, not one of the boys trained need ever be called into active service. What I propose is that they be trained for active service if required. I would train each young man in our country so that, in case his country called him as it ' did the young men of a year ago he would be in shape both from a military and a physical -standpoint to respond effectively. But I do not believe any such disarmament agreement will be reached. I think it a Utopian dream. Beginning with boys 18 years old, I am in favor of not less than ten months' training the first year, and after the first year I should like to see each young man required to report to the colors for thirty days, each year for five years, and then pass into a second or reserve division in which he would remain until he was 31. " "One million young men reach the age of 21 each year. Figuring that as high as 40 percent of this number would be exempted, for physical reasons or for the support of a family, we should be training 600,000 men a year for military service, and, at the end of ten years, we should have 6,000,000 men who had been trained and who could, in a brief time, be brought to a condition of highest military efficiency. "I have always been in favor of universal military training, but regard it now as an absolute necessity. War today, with its changed conditions of transportation, by means of which millions of men are mobilized over long distances in rapid time with all the new enginery of war which requires much time for manufacture in advance has made the old volunteer system an obsolete thing. "We must realize as a people that war is no longer conducted on the basis of the last great conflict in which this country engaged. In the civil war many men were in active service in less than thirty days from the time they affixed their names to the muster rolls. But to send a man into war as it is conducted today thirty days after his enlistment would be to send one who was not only ineffective as a soldier, but who would also be in the way. The more men sent in this state of unprepared-

ness, the worse off we should be. It would be sending them to almost certain death and, certainly, to utter rout and military disaster. "Today the soldier must be taught the mysteries of the most intricate machinery. You no longer ram a charge of powder down the barrel of a cannon, followed by a ball, and discharge it by applying a match to the fuse; the mechanism of modern guns is highly complicated, and a man must know it thoroughly in order to use it at all. This is merely an illustration, one of many that every one recognizes as true, but which not, every one applies as it should be applied, to show the necessity of universal military service. "Why not face the facts? War today is a science requiring study, training, and a high order of skill to insure the safety of our men and anything approaching efficiency against the enemy. I am no more for war than the most devout Quaker. I know something of it and appreciate its horrors, but war comes to those who do not want war as well as to those who seek it, and when that hour comes it is the young men of the country who must fight. ' - "We have had one lesson showing what it is to have our young men unready. Let us profit by it, take the step now, and prepare to make universal military service the law of the land. In case the system is adopted the United States would, in the future, have at its call enough men to furnish an army of any size required and to meet any emergency that could possibly arise." I Congress may not act on Senator New's bill at this session, but the time is not far off when our country will realize the importance of his measure and enact it into law.

Those Smiles in France From the American Magazine. , THEY love to laugh, those boys in France. Of course they reserve the right to grumble, too. "Grousing" is what Tommy calls it, and he grouses to his heart's content when there's nothing serious the matter. But when it comes to real things, like suffering and dying, he meets them with a smile. There are more smiles in the hospitals of France and of England than well, than in an appalling lot of our "happy homes" here in America. There is more brave smiling in those pitiful lines of the walking wounded, on their way to the dressing station, than in any Easter "church parade" that ever strolled up Fifth Avenue. I wish I could make every man and every woman in the United States see those smiles. They are rather difficult, rather grotesque, for the faces are stiff with mud and blood and are drawn with pain. But there they are! The suffering lips, which make no murmur, can somehow manage to smile. If they can do that, it seems to me that we ought to be able to pack up our troubles in our kit bag; we ought to manage to hide them away in our hearts somewhere, and to smile, too.

DINNER Dr. J. P. Nay lor. head of the physics department of DePauw University, was walking clown a slippery sidewalk and, hitting a particularly icy place, fell down. II. M. Gorrell. Dr. Naylor's assistant, was following him. "You are somewhat of an architect, aren't you, doctor?" asked Gorrell. "How's that?" asked the professor. "You are making blue prints." A Scot and an Englishman who were walking down the street together stopped to purchase a couple of rosy apples. The Englishman, on taking a bite of his, immediately began to sputter. "I believe I've swallowed a worm," he exclaimed. "Weel. weel, mon, an what if ye did?" said the Scot. '"Twill put new life into ye!" "Where have you been, Mary Ann?" "I've been to the girls' improvement class, ma'am," was the maid's reply. "Well, and what did the minister say to you? Did you tell him who your mistress was?" "Please, ma'am, he said I wasn't to give notice, as I Intended, but that I was to consider you as my burden and bear it." "This man says you owe him money, Sam," said the Judge. "Data right. Judge, I does." "Well, why don't you pay him?" "Why. I haint got nothin' t' pay him wlv. Judge." "Well, why haven t you? "To tell de hones' truf, Judge, s'pects my wife has felled down on de job!"

Murphy Offers to Lay Oat Model Garden

An interesting garden display has been arranged in one of the display windows of the Lee B. Nusbaum company's Btore. Harry Crump arranged the display of beans, peas, radishes and tomatoes and other truck that should be raised in war gardens. An invitation to the loyal American is extended to help lick the Hun by having a garden. A boy scout in uniform, shouldering a hoe in place of a rifle, stands guard over the garden. E. F. Murphy, city gardener, has

offered to lay out a model war garden

in any display window in the city large enough for its accommodation. It is the purpose of Mr. Murphy to plant

and raise in this garden all kinds of

light produce and to continue it throughout the entire spring and part

of the summer. Any local business

house with a large enough window for

such a display, and caring to accept Mr. Murphy's offer, should get in touch with him at once.

By HAL POD The editor of this column has been in the daily habit while enroute home from the office of stopping in front of a certain house where a bright little tot always seems to be playing in the front yard. Several times we have patted him on the head, thinking that some day when he grows up he will point with pride to the time a certain great and noted poet thus gave him such attention. Monday night we were wending our way homeward as usual and stopped again to pat the little tot on the head. Somebody opened the door, his father no doubt, and hollered: "Hey, you would-be spring poet! Can't you leave that kid of mine alone? Dp you think I want him to grow up to be a bonehead like you are?" "I wish I had a son instead of a daughter," remarked one Richmond man to another. "This business of buying gowns and hats and shoes and face powder for that girl of mine comes near breaking me up financially. You're a lucky guy to have a son." "Don't kick," said the second Richmond man. "Think of the money I have got to shell out to that boy of mine so he can take your girl out to dances and shows and suppers and motor rides." . There is a new Hoosier recruit down in Camp Taylor, according to letter received from one of the Richmond hnvs y'hn was never outside of

fsBrown county before he was called to

the colors. The boys down there say that he goes around every day and wants to know when the fighting is going to begin. He seems to think that Camp Taylor is Somewhere in France. A big league season should never have opened Monday and Tuesday because it wasn't cold enough. Liberty bonds buy liberty bombs for the kaiser. Buy a few bombs, Mr. Richmond man. "Do you know, I think I have seen you somewhere before." "I wouldn't doubt it at all. I've been there."

FROM THE TRENCH We are learning a great deal from the French these days. One is the secret of long life. The French give this advice, but do not follow it. However, it probably is fair advice at that: Lever a cine, diner a neuf, Souper a cine, coucher a neuf. Font vivre dans nonante neuf. Which means approximately this: Rise at five, dine at nine, Sup at five, to bed at nine, Makes one live to be ninety and nine.

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing, Hair

If you want to keep ; sur hair in good condition, be careful vhat ;ou v.-ash it with. Most soaps and prepared f-raooos contain too lauch alkali. This dries the scal; makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure ana entirely graaseless). Is much better than the most e-pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One cr two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair C-'es nuickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silkly, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified coco-nut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to lest ever; one in tie familr for months. Adv.

Hie Health of Two Generations benefitted by the use of Nujol

Mother and child both profit from a mother's use of Nujol during the nursing period: the mother, from a cleansed system.; the baby from mother's food thus made wholesome. Mothers read this letter:

NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N. J.

titular s$ Cltkwrt

Dear Sir: N Because of the fact that it was necessary for my wife to take medicine for constipation while nursing our first two children, they both suffered and were pale and cross until old enough to eat for themselves. When the same trouble began with our third child, our physician said that there was no laxative medicine for my wife that would not hurt the baby. I then persuaded my wife to try Nujol, as I had successfully used it. It relieved her without affecting the baby; as a result we have the healthiest, happiest child I ever saw. Signed, (Name and address sent on request.)

THIS is one of the testimonials from hundreds of users who use Nujol to insure normal bowel-habits, and who then share their abundant health with their babies. Nujol is a valuable household remedy of guaranteed purity. It is healing; it is effective; it brings about thorough and regular bowel habits, yet contains no drugs, whatsoever. Nujol is nature's first-aid to inactive bowels, giving desired relief without griping or other distress. Nujol is a time-tried, universal remedy, equally successful in results at all ages. To be "regular as clockwork" use Nujol. ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS

There are no substitutes there is only Nujol.

At every drug store. Seed 50c and we will ship new kit size to soldiers or sailors anywhere.

In bottles only, bearing the Nujol trademark never in bulk
