Js Nineteen Babyhood? Anent the age changes in the selective service law, the Chicago Tribune, which has consistently advocated compulsory military service, argues that the limit be dropped to 19 years instead of being increased, oh the theory that the young men have the stamina for fighting and their removal does not create the economic disturbance certain to follow the calling of men for more mature age. The discussion of this point by the Tribune is interesting, even if many students of the problem do not subscribe fully to all the arguments advanced. The editorial is reproduced to present one aide of the contention : In raising more men for the American army the revealed purpose of the government is to raise the draft age rather than lower it. This purpose has a sentimental cause, which is as natural as it is unreasonable. By raising the draft age the army may take the man of forty. The British, in great need of men, are going higher. Sentiment thus protects the youth of the nation, protects it as if it were a bud to be sheltered from inclemency, and it is difficult to stand up against this sentiment and say that it is destruc

tive nonsense. That is precisely what it Is. It represents the formulation of military policy at the mandate of a sentiment which is perilous nonsense. We have shown before that the civil war was won by young men of 18, 19, 20 and 21. The number of men over 25 in the union army couid have been dispensed with, commanding officers excluded, and the result would not have been modified. They were negligible. That is the fact regarding a war which we regard as the successful military demonstration of the noblest qualities in the republic. The demonstration was by youth' anditwas made successful by youth. Young men of 19 and 20 furnish the. best ma

terial which a nation can command for its de

fense. An army is the developed force of a nation and it sucks its sustenance and support from the nation unless it can live upon an enemy country, and no modern army can do that. A weak nation cannot support a strong army. Men, after they have established their economic connections, their occupations, and business, become part of the nation's strength. They are parts of its machinery. A military policy which disregards the essential elements of national strength disregards its own purposes. Wars are not won by applying sentiment to them. They are won by applying the greatest force the nation can command. A successful application avoids wasting any strength needed at home, when without wasting any strength it can obtain its best military power. A policy which pushes the draft age up; when it ought to go down, invades the economic field of the nation to get poor military material, when, by touching the economic field as little as

.possible, it could get the best military material.

The man of 40 will make a poor soldier. The young man of 20 will make a good one. The man of 40 will be missed in the economic processes of the nation, and the steadiness of these processes is necessary to military success. The young men of 19 and 20 will not be so greatly missed and will make much better soldiers. Therefore, with perverted reasoning, we plan to take the man best left at home and not take the man best used in the field. This is destructive nonsense and it is entirely in keeping with its general purport that it should

be an obstacle in the way of a decision in favor of a permanent military policy, in the way of the adoption of universal military service. Universal service would take the young men of 19 or 20. It would train them, and, if it were used now, it would furnish for this war, later, American soldiers precisely as the intelligent French are furnishing the soldiers for their armies. But if our draft plans contemplate taking

men of an age who never would be taken under

universal service, then it can be objected that the United States cannot be expected to train two armies at once, one of its best material, not to be used in war, and another of its less fit material, to be used in war. It seems futile to insist that a declaration of permanent military policy need not conflict with the raising of an army for this war. The opponents of the protective system can evade the main issue by pleading that it is inopportune to press it. It is the precise time to press it, but sentiment and obstinacy are joined to prevent it.

Getting Ready for the Red Cross Drive. The organization work for the Red Cross drive in Wayne county virtually is completed. An excellent machine to obtain results awaits the call to action. It has taken weeks of hard work to organize the county on a basis that will net a showing commensurate with the population and wealth of the community. Too often the work done by the committees that handle public movements of this kind is overlooked. Some of us are prone to find fault

because little mistakes are made. We do not take

a bird's eye view of the task, and consequently failing to see the great work in its entity, criticize when we ought to praise. The committees that are to handle the present drive have put in hard licks. They may

make mistakes, but a generous citizenship will overlook these in view of the great good that will result. When solicitors for the Red Cross

ask donations, they are conferring a favor, on the person addressed. Members of a soliciting committee are giving their time to the project. They receive no remuneration for their work. They deserve in turn the utmost consideration and kindness. Their sacrifice of time reciprocally merits attention and also a substantial donation for the cause. Men and women who have engaged in work of this kind report that citizens of this community have been exceedingly 'courteous and kind. This is as it should be. It shows that the community appreciates what they are doing and is heart and soul in favor of the movement. The Red Cross campaign in Wayne county will meet with great success. Of this there is no doubt. A kind word of commendation for the public spirited men and women who are at the head of the movement and are co-operating in its execution is in place and will prove to be one of the little amenities that is appreciated and remembered by the solicitors.

The Spirit of the Red Cross Elizabeth Frazer in the Saturday Evening Post. WITH its warehouses, its buying and transporting systems in excellent shape, the American Red Cross in Europe stands ready for whatever emergency the next six months may bring. It has found itself. It sees clear-eyed its job. When the Arabic sank, and its commander went down with it he was asked afterward what were his sharpest impressions during that trying time. "Well," he replied, "there were two things that impressed me strongly. As you know I went down with my ship and came up again. And while I was swimming round in the water among the debris I heard, not far away, English voices from a raft, laughing and shouting in unison. I listened. And what they were shouting was this: ''Are we downhearted? No!' "That was the first thing which impressed me. Tho second one was this: I was up on deck until the ship went down. And every time I rang my engine room 1 got a reply. To the very last minute, when the water covered us, my men down there below were on their job!" That, in a word, is the spirit of the Red Cross today

in France.

By HAL POD "A South Ninth street resident driving home from Eaton ,in his flivver Saturday afternoon, stopped at the home of a friend enroute and was presented with a gallon jug of vinegar. Reaching Richmond he met a man of his acquaintance and stopped his car for a moment's chat. The "man of his acquaintance" immediately spied the jug In the rear seat of the car and after glancing cautiously about whispered, "Whereja git it?" "Oh, I brought it back from across the line," the South Ninth street man replied. The friend licked his chops and said he wouldn't mind having a little swig. However, there was nothing doing on the "swig" business. Finally he decided to try another tactic. He was thirsty fndeed was this guy, and he simply had to have something out of the jug, cost what it might. "Say, I'll give you $5 for that jus full," he offered in a whisper to hi3 friend. "Nothing doing," the South Ninth street man replied, "i don't care to sell." The other fellow hitched up his belt, looked at the jug again, licked his chops once more and raised the bid to $7. This was too much for the man in the car. Seven bones don't grow on every bush in town. "Well, I'll tell you what I will do," I'll sell you the jug and all for $7 but I won't guarantee that you'll be satisfied with your purchase." "Oh, that's alright. Gimme the jug,

and here's the jack."

So the South Ninth street man

pocketed the seven iron men and told

his wife when he got home that he had

forgotten to get that vinegar. While the other man took the jug and went,

upon his way rejoicing.

Today the South Ninth street man

is wondering just what his friend thinks of the bargain he got in vinegar. Twenty-five cents worth of vinegar sold for $7, means a profit of $6.75 on the gallon, beside a goodly number of launghs at the expense of the thirsty one when the man who sold the jug tells his friends about it. Not half bad at that, eh, boy?

from his wife, basing his entire complaint against her mother. "She's a religious fanatic," sezze, meaning his mother-in-law, "who reads the Bible all night and raises hell all day." "Pants pressed on the inside," is a sign that greets me over the door of a tailor shop here in town. 'Salright, old boy, but I never wear mine wrong side out. When the preacher call3 at your home and the parrot happens to get on a tantrum and swears a blue streak, don't you find it kind of hard to make the preacher man believe you just bought the doggone thing from an old maid, when, as a matter of fact, you've raised him since he was a pup? And friend wife weeps and wails and 6ays, "Oh, oh, this if awful! I never did hear such language before." Same old line of bunk. It's a tough old world. But the preacher ought to hear that bird some day when he's going good. The king of England doffed his hat to the American soldiers. Pretty soon a certain ruler over in German is going to do that same thing.

CARD SYSTEM FOR SUGAR TO BE USED

Harry S. Gilbert, Wayne county food administrator, has received word from the state administrator's office to pnt on a card system in the distribution of sugar. The. letter said that 2,500 sugar certificates had been forwarded to Richmond for distribution among grocers and dealers. Through this system the food administration will know just, who purchases sugar and how much is purchased, and thus it will be possible to eliminate hoarding. Each family will be allowed to have only a specified quantity of sugar, the amount depending upon the unmber of persons in the family. The title of the Iron Man, of Russia has been conferred on Mme. Kellentai, the woman minister of welfareof the Bolshevik government.

I was told when buying a motor car to be sure and pick out the best car on the market for the money. Weil, after looking over 88 catalogs I have found there are at least 88 cars on the market each of which is the best on earth. And so I think now I'll buy a bicycle. A headline in a newspaper says, "Thousands Cheer Yankees as They March Through London." Oh, boy! Wait until they march through old Berlin. Somebody asked the manager of the Grand Leader store why he didn't hire some of these bartenders who are 'out of a job when he was short of clerks. Quoth he: "How could a bartender sell drygoods? Answer that."

Hurrying to the side of the conductor, a passenger eagerly inquired: "Do you think that I will have time to get a soda before the train starts?" "Oh, yes," answered the conductor. "But suppose," answered the thirsty passenger, "that the train should go on without me?" "We can easily fix that," promptly

replied the conductor. "I will go along

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before breakfast.

To feel your best day In and d out. to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin

pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores uo, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food Into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Adv.

Sensible Talk on Gall Stones Doctors Have Found Solvent Which Makes Many Gall Stone Operations Unnecessary. Whenever a person becomes the victim of gall stones with its accompanying symptoms of cramps, eolic. yellow sallow skin and sick stomach, the first thing the physician generally does 5s to advise an operation with Its attendant terrors. If the operation Is successful the patient may have relief but might still have a condition in the system which starts gall stone formation again. Now the Inter-State Doctors, those expert medical specialists who have their Richmond offices on the second floor of the Starr block, corner of 10th and Main streets, over Starr Piano Store, have announced that they have a medical solvent which in many cases makes an operation unnecessary. They have used the gall stone solvent on hundreds of cases with startling results. Mrs. Belle Parker, who lives at 120 S. Kinney street, Muncie. Ind., tells of her relief in a public letter. "Muncie, Ind., Nov. 22, 1916. To the Inter-State Doctors: I want to in this way express my everlasting gratitude to you for what you have done for me. You have saved me from the operating table and more, you have saved my life. I have been suffering untold agony from gall stones for the past five or six years. Most of the time unable to work sick at the stomach all the time and paroxysms of pain that could only be relieved by calling a doctor and taking hyperdermlc or morphine. I wai constantly under a Anctnr' n h.tt

they could give me no relief, only

irom pain, ihey all said nothing but an operation would save me. I finally

went to your office. November 1. 1910, vomiting all the time. My eyeballs and skin fairly green in color. Your physician examined me and my temperature was 103. My condition was so grave he wouldn't take my cae then, but gave me a prescription for my fever, and told me if I got my fever down and nausea down to come back and he would 'see what he could do for me. I went back November 7. The prescription done fine and I put myself under his care for regular treatment and in less than a week my skin began to clear up sickness and pain left altogether and now after two weeks' treatment, I have no trouble In any way. Skin and eyeballs cleared up taking on flesh and feel as good as a 16-year-old and worked hard all of last week the first hard work I had been able to do for three months. You are certainly fine on gall stones and with your treatment, operations are not necessary. (Signed) MRS. BELLE PARKER. 120 S. Kinney." Anv one interested in Mrs. Parker's

case should write or call on her as

she will gladly tell any sick person of her relief at the hands of these spe

cialists. Adv.
