. Physicians Answer Gill Wayne county physicians in goodly numbers

have answered the appeal of the government for enlistment in the medical corps. No one questioned the patriotism of the doctors, and their re

sponse merely attests publicly to their loyalty. As the war goes on, the number of physicians

needed will increase in the same proportion as

the number of men called to the colors. The only

Way in which the demand can be supplied is by the voluntary enlistment of physicians or by resorting to the draft. The chances are that the draft willliot be necessary, for the doctors have set a fine example of patriotic service by leaving

their, practices and going to the camps for in structions.

The Results of the Primary , Little criticism can be, found with the' men which the voters selected for the Republican

ticket. As there were no contests on the Demo

cratic ticket, the original announcement of candidates will stand. Strayer's decisive victory is a proof that Wayne county believes in law enforcement and will not tolerate the election of men of the calibre of the one who tried to malign and traduce Strayer. The tactics of this opponent brought out a heavy vote for Strayer, permitting him to lead his ticket. Other candidates on the Republican ticket are well known in the county. Their integrity is unquestioned. As nomination on the Republican ticket is tantamount to election, it is certain that these men will go into office at the expiration of the terms of the present officials.

The Red Cross Drive Representative Timberlake who speaks here Friday night in behalf of .the Red Cross has a message which the citizens of Richmond ought to hear. He has frist hand information about conditions on the western front, as he was one of the congressional committee that went abroad last year to inspect our war work. He is here to spread the gospel of the Red Cross. The Wayne county branch of that organization has done excellent work; Hundreds of women are working at headquarters and other thousends are well acquainted , with the purpose of the organization. A fuller understanding of how necessary this work is, and of how the money we contribute is used to bring relief to the wounded and needy in Europe will follow attendance at the meeting. The scope of the Red Cross is so great that we cannot grasp all its ramifications by reading and study. Representative Timberlake will give us a new vision and inspire us to greater effort.

Violence of Bombardment From the New York Times AS showing the violence of the rtcent German attack on one of the sectors held by French troops, Philip Gibbs quotes an officer who lived through it as saying: "There were ten big shells a second, and that lasted, with only two short pauses, for six days, all through the battle, and other shells were uncountable." For the exact mathematical accuracy of this statementof "big shells" alone it figures out at over 5,000,000 probably neither Mr. Gibbs nor his informant would vouch, but, on the other hand, this correspondent is not himself given to exaggeration or to transmitting exaggerations by others. His assertion can, therefore, be accepted as essentially true, and when so accepted it gives a new and clearer conception of the colossal scale on which this war is now conducted. It means not only that something like 5.000,000 shells deserving to be called "heavy" were expended by the Germans in a small part of the long front, every mile of which was under a bombardment little less than continuous. It also brings to mind the immense labors performed by the thousands a&J thousands of men whose task it was to keep those gunners supplied with ammunition. They had to transport it for miles, themselves always under fire and moving over a terrain from which the last vestige of roads had disappeared. Also working their hardest to keep up this one rain of steel and explosives were other thousands of men and women in factories, and still further behind the firing line were miners and artisans of a dozen or a score of sorts, all seeking the accomplishment of the one purpose of killing or drivfag back that French officer and his men. And this was such a small part of the battle tKat began on March 21!

By HAL POD A friend asks me what motives are taking our young men to the front. I would reply that many of them, most of them, in fast, are taken there by locomotives. I don't know at just which Restaurant In Richmond this conversation occurred, and even if I did know I wouldn't dare to tell: Customer Look here, waiter! This meat is so tough I could'nt cut it with an axe. Where's the proprietor? "Waiter He's not in, sir. He's gone across the street to get his dinner. Customer Good heavens! He runs this restaurant and then goes some place else to get his dinner? Waiter Yes, sir. You see, he's very particular. A Sammy who has been held prisoner, by the Huns, writes from the trenches that the ground is all dug up behind the German lines but said he did not know the reason. I guess mebbe the crown prince must have lost a jitney or something. I can't see why they want to make this entire country dry. How are we going to produce tanks if such a thins comes about? A little girl in the public schools was asked to give the name of our national anthem and she replied, "Hail. Hail, the Gang's All Here." I've adde done more to my list of heart's desires. Heretofore I've had only two. One was to get a good smack at the Kaiser, and the other was to get my Liberty bond paid for. The new one Is to come out in my new palm beach suit. If somebody else will start it I'll be game.

"How do you make hash?" a guy wanted to know over at the city restaurant the other day. The waiter said. "We don't make it. It just accumulates."

BANISHES NERVOUSNESS

Puts Vigor and Ambition Into RunDown, Tired Out People.

A lady friend in the city told me the other day if she ever got hold of a certain censor the fur would fly. She said that she got a letter from her boy at the front, and as would be expected he added a number of kisses in the form of x-x-x-x-x-x-x. After which he wrote, "I hope the censor doesn't object to these." Evidently the censor didn't object because he added on, "Certainly I dou't object! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x. Your friend, the Censor." Sammies at the front say that it is a lot healthier to estimate the number of dead Huns that might be laying out in front of their trenches, than It is to go out and count them. From some of the reports coming from over there about the rotteness of the Huns, I wouldn't be surprised if we might soon be able to smell 'em over here. Many a lame excuse becomes a cripple for the rest of its lift after friend wife gets through with it. There's one thing in the good book that wouldn't work in these days, and that is the advice to "Cast your bread upon the waters." I don't think this substitute bread will float.

Well, there's one thing I like about the Richmond street railway system, and that is that they don't have the nerve to call themselve3 the Richmond Rapid Transit Company like some of them do in other cities.

DINNER 5 TOR IE J1 The magistrate observed to the defendant: "You seem to have committed a grave assault on complainant just because he differed from you in an argument. "There was no help for it, your Honor," said the offender. "The man is a perfect idiot." "Well, you must pay a fine of $10 and the costs, and in future you should try to understand that idiots are human beings, the same as you and me." The ferocious-looking sergeant-major was inspecting a squad of young re. cruits. Pausing in front of one, a spinner, he said: "Have you shaved with a glass this morning?" "No, sir," same the prompt reply. "Then why the dickens didn't you?" said the irate sergeant-major. "Because, personally, I think a razor fetches the hairs off much better than a glass," was the cool reply.

with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is interded to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetenfng and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthutiastic and keep it up daily. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of Limestone Phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless. Adv.

"Nothing wrong but your nerves," is

a saying that is fast dying out in this country. While nerve trouble is

no organic disease, one of our leading

nerve specialists remarked: A man

or woman might better break a leg

than have a shattered nervous system." Overwork and worry drains the

nerve cells of their reserve strength

and food, and then follows the sleep

less night, indigestion, poor appetite,

impure blood and general nervous break-down. The thing to do in such cases no longer troubles .doctors and their patients who know from their own experience the value of Phosphated Iron. They know that a few weeks' regular use of this nerve food and red blood builder will strengthen and brace up the whole nervous system, because Phosphated Iron gives the tired, hungry, worn-out nerve cells phosphates and iron in a form easily and quickly absorbed; as one happy user said: "You can almost feel it taking hold ot the nerves and blood, after a short time you feel like a new person: life seems a pleasure and . worth living once again. In every section where Phosphated Iron jias been used there has been a big decrease of nerve troubles and it will prove a welcome relief to any sufferer. You can bank on it for results it's pure. To insure physicians and their patients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put up in capsules only, do not take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.
