Fit Young Men Nearly one-third of the men who were examined for military service in the United States during the last year were physically unfit to serve in, the army, according to a report of Provost Marhsal General Crowder. Putting this into other terms, we must realize emphatically that thirty per cent of our male population is under a physical handicap. To use an illustration: A baseball club with three men out of nine unfit for the rigors of the sport, could
never become a pennant winner.
ball nine, so with a nation. The United States can ill afford to have all its industries and commercial organizations of all kinds handicapped. Among some of the causes of physical unfitness in the army were tuberculosis, bad teeth, bad eyes and other defects that could have been remedied if relief had been given in time. This suggests two things. One of them that all persons should undergo an examination from time to time in order that their physical condition might be ascertained. The other, that if the government instituted compulsory military training, these defects would be discovered at an early stage and could be remedied. The grand results of both of these suggestions would be seen in our industries and our commercial organizations, for then physically fit men would be handling their affairs or assisting in increasing output.

When did Peoples' Savings Assoc'n Open its Doors? Almost thirty years with the same president is the record of the People's Home and Savings Association. John Davenport was elected president of the association at its first meeting In 1889, and still holds this position. A tiny office, perhaps twelve by twelve feet, on North Ninth street was the first home of the association. Steady, solid Growth has ben its history. I. C. Doan, J. W. Henderson, Benjamin Starr, John Davenport and Jesse H. Brooks were among the founders and first directors of the association. Davenport and Brooks are the only members of the original organizers still in the association Davenport as president and Broks as assistant secretary. The association has just completed Its own home, a handsome building on North Eighth street. Dinner h tor ie9 The office telephone In a well-known surgeon's office rang. The doctor himself answered the phone. A childishvoice Inquired, "Who Is this?" The doctor readily recognized the voice of his seven-year-old boy. Although an exceedingly busy man. he is ever ready for a bit of fun, if the opportunity permits, and anticipating such at this time, replied. "This is the smartest man in the city." The child mumbled for a moment and replied, "I beg your pardon, sir. it la the wrong number," and hung up. Little Willie, together with his parents, was invited to a Sunday dinner at the home of his uncle. Chicken was the piece de resistance of the gladsome layout, and, being a great lover of the dainty morsel, Willie expanded his appetite to fit the occasion. When the dessert was served the youngster had to balk. Manfully he made two or three stab3 at the dish, and then gazed at it with a dejected expression. "What's the matter. Willie?" asked his uncle, with a smiling glance at the youngster. "You look mournful." "That's just what tho matter is," pathetically answered Willie. "I am more'n full." A grizzled sergeant was drilling a squad cf rokles who, to save their eyes, could not meet with the N. C. O.'s approval. No matter what they attempted, they seemed to invariably get it wrong, and finally the N. C. O., losing his patience turned to them and said: "When I was a small boy by mother 'gave me some tin soldiers. I lost them and I cried bitterly; but I shall cry no more. I've found them!" EDDIE COLLINS DISCHARGED PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 10. Eddie Collins of the Chicago Americans, who enlisted in the marines and was stationed at the quartermaster's depot here during the war, has been discharged from the elc " fm known yesterday.

twenty states,
has been an increase in the number of sheep in
the United States in the last year, nevertheless there is room for expansion. He shows that one reason why farmers hesitate in purchasing a flock of sheep is the fear of sheep killing dogs. He suggests to the governors of these states that they consider the matter of legislation to encourage sheep growing by removing or controlling the dog menace. n - The matter of legislation against dogs is purely one confined to the various states. Household dogs are almost necessities on every farm, but sheep killing dogs should be eradicated at once. Both mutton and wool are profitable items for the farmer, and some dogs are a nuisance. Leaking From the Saturday Evening Post. IN TEN months of 1918, with the United States at war the fire loss was greater by a hundred million dollars than in the corresponding period of 1916, when we could considerably better afford to toss' the equivalent of a hundred big ships Into a bonfire. The losses for October were exceptional; but unfortunately exceptional losses are rather the rule with us. A great part of them were strictly preventable, which is also a rule with us. A couple of days before this fire-loss report came to hand we were reading a careful calculation of what Mr. McAdoo had saved by operating the railroads as a unit, lie saved a lot of rent by consolidating the separate ticket offices in cities. He saved a lot of overhead by abolishing separate freight-soliciting bureaus. There were many savings. The total for a year came to about as much as the fire loss for a month mostly strictly preventable. Speaking in a general and jaundiced way. What's the use? Fire loss is only one typical item. War has done much to popularize thrift. Never before was there such a conscious, sustained effort to save. But war has not shaken us out of our careless, wasteful habits. When we toss a cigar stub on a heap of shavings or leave an electric wire half Insulated we are not thinking of thrift or of anything else. We are just mechanically following a bad habit. We need a string round our finger all the time to. make us remember. Out of ten motions in the course of a day we think of thrift only in connection ' with one of them. The task is to cultivate a hundred-per-cent habit of thrifty thinking. Such a habit will cut the fire loss in half.
As with a base Presbyterian New Era Workers Meet The new era movement of the Presbyterian church of the United States of America which seeks $70,000,000 and a corresponding increase in the educational and spiritual work of the church, will hold its Chicago conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, with special metings for men, women and young people.

Y. M. G. A. ABSORBS ANTIOCH COLLEGE XENIA, O., Feb. 10. Antioch college at Yellow Springs, founded in 1852 has been taken over by the Young Men's Christian Association for a national non-sectarian university to be operated along lines which have be'e.n contemplated by the organibation for more than a year. It Is planned to raise the endowment to $1,000,000, and ' to enlarge and modernize the college. . Plans for taking over the college were completed at a meeting of the board of trustees with representatives of the Y. M. C. A., but the matter was not made public until recently. Dr. Grant Perkins, now of Chicago, who is prominent in Y. M. C. A. work was elected as president of the college. The Y. M. C. A. has for more than a year been making plans to open a university, non-sectarian in character, and national In scope. It was expected to build such a college in some city, and Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis and Milwaukee have been among the cities contemplated for the institution. The project of taking over Antioch, if arrangements could be completed for such a move, was only recently contemplated, and ten days ago it was first broached to a certain trustee of the college, with the result that the meeting of Friday was arranged. To Relatives of Dead WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Bodies of Americans who died in France during the war will be transferred to tho United States if their nearest relatives so desire. Otherwise, the dead will remain undisturbed. Already a large number of relatives have informed the war department ot their desire to have the bodies re turned. In the near future a letter will be sent to the nearest relative of every soldier or civilian whose body rests in France, asking their wishes with regard to the transfer. A memorandum on, this subject. drafted by Lieutenant-Colonel J. C Ashburton, of the adjutant-general's department, says "It cannot be stated now just when the transfer of bodies will begin, as it must be deferred until conditions, including that of transportation, warrant the undertaking. Due notice will be given through the public press. "It is not deemed advisable to grant requests for relatives, friends or undertakers to go to France to super intend the preparations and shipment of, or to accompany bodies back to the United States. Organizations have been formed, known as Grave Registration Units, whose duty it is to look after burials, care of cemeteries and preservation of identification records so that there will be no question as to identity." American Lutherans See Big Opportunity With the opening of the big Lutheran drive in this city, beginning on February 16, the members of the five congregations here see in the movement something much greater than the mere raising of a fund to carry forward a work of reconstruction and of relief. While the immediate object Is to bring succor to the stricken churches in France, Finland, Esthonia and the Black Sea prov'nees, where $375,000 will be spent to save the church from utter ruin, the ultimate object is certainly to turn the eyes of the Lutheran church of the world to the church in America as the true leaders of Lutberanism.

A person who was with me said: "Last week she was a brunette. With hair like the raven's wing And now look at her." N I 6aw her on the following day And her hair was red The red that is in the flag And in the flannel shirt. An honest flaming red as one sees In the Italian sunset. "How can such things be?" we asked. And our friend said: "We will inquire," and he did. "How do you get that way, miss?" He asked politely, hat in hand. "How do you pass from yellow to red?" She stared at him stonily and replied: "Henner, you big boob henner. Only six bucks in a henner shop." We had heard of a hennery But never of a henner shop, And we can't even find henner In the dictionary. The longer you live The less you find out. Arthur Hammerstein says: "A halfrate ticket broker who has grown rich is a living refutation of the old saying, 'Never do anything by halves.'

There are about two hundred and thirty million acres from which the forests have been cut but which have never yet been cleared for the plow and which lie waste and desolate. These lie scattered all over the Union. And there are nearly eighty million acres of land that lie under swamps or subject to periodical overflow or too wet for anything but grazing which it is perfectly feasible to drain and protect and redeem.

Richmond Police Find Biggest Job in Settling Neighborhood Quarrels
S your conception of a police-! man, a large, stern man with a club and flat feet, whose only job is to arrest somebody? Spend a day with the Richmond police force, and will be ready to swear that we have at least twenty firstclass diplomats In the city building, not counting John Pinnick. Far from being ready to make arrests, the local lorce spends most of its time trying to manage things so that arrests do not have to be made. The police station Is the dumping ground for all neighborhood troubles. Hundreds of complaints a week come into the willing ears of the police, and if they made arrests everytime someone rings up and demands it, there would be no Uving in the station. Worse, neighborhood feuds would be raging until Breathitt county, Kentucky, would be tame beside plain Richmond, Indiana. Of course, plain violations of the law are another matter. But in a neighborhood quarrel, or the matter of a friendless bum who happens to get picked up on his way out of town, justice is always tempered with mercy. And It pays, says Chief Gormon. Children are the worst causes of neighborhood fusses, according to the chief. Your own child is a little angel all others are little demons. Let a childish quarrel start and in five minutes the two mothers will be slanging one another over the back fence. One loses her temper and begins to call names. The other rushes to the phone and calls up the police department. Now if she got what she wanted, there would be war between the two houses for a hundred years. But listen to first Sergeant George Staubach answer the phone. The answering voice is shrill, angry and incessant. "Hello." "Yes, this is the police department." (Soothingly) "Now, you'd better try to straighten that out yourselves. Do you want the whole matter to have to be thrashed out In court.?" "Blurruup! Blullullup! (From the phone) Staubach (still more soothingly "We don't want to send a policeman down there. You'd better try to straighten it out yourselves " "Blullupupup " "Oh, she called you names, did she? That's another matter. What did she call you?" "Blullup!" "Dutch snob, eh?" says Staubach in a tone of comic surprise, fortunately lost over the telephone. More shrill talk. "Oh, well, if you can't settle it yourselves we'll have to. What! Send a policeman down there to give her a good scolding? He avens, no, we can't do thatl" Masonic Calendar Monday, Feb. 10. ruenmond Commandary. No. 8, K. T. Special conclave; work in Red Cross and Knight of Malta Degree. Tuesday, Feb. 11.

"All we can do is Huh? Yes, all we can do is arrest her. You come down here at eight o'clock tomorrow morn
ing and swear out an affidavit and a policeman will come and arrest her and she'll be fined." "Oh, you don't want to do that? Well, that's all we can do. You be here at eight o'clock and the prosecut or will fix up the affidavit for you. He cuts off the shrill voice by hanging up the receiver, and collapses into a chair wiping his forehead. "Gosh!" he says feelingly. Heartless laughter by those around him. i "She'll never come," says Staubach to the reporter, when he recovered. "Now, if I'd said come up right now, she might still have been mad enough to come. But she'll cool off by eight tomorrow morning, and in three days those women will be good friends again. But if one of 'em had been fined it would have meant life-long war between those two households." "Oh, there's more ways of pacifying a cat than choking her with butter." ENGLAND PLANS $100,000,000 ROAD WORK DURING 1919 Grants- amounting to $50,000,000 will be distributed by the British road board for the construction of roads and bridges in England in 1919. De mobilization army units will be used to do the labor. Local highway authorities will be required to match this appropriation by at least as large a program of road work as they carried out in the year before the war. Area taken into consideration, England's program is thus far in excess of that of the United States, including both federal aid and state funds. Daily Health Talks GOING BACK TO NATURE. BY DR. W. LUCAS. 4 People get sick because they go away from Nature, and the oqjy way to get well is to go back. Something grows out of the ground in the form of vegetation to cure almost every ill. Some of these vegetable growths are understood by man, and some are not. Animals, it would seem, know what to do when they are sick better than men and women. Observers have noted that a sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating food and seek out some vegetable growth in the field or yard, which, when found and eaten, often restores appetite and health. Haven't you seen these animals do this very thing yourself ? Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.f long since found the herbs and roots provided by Nature to overcome constipation, and he had these vegetables collected and made up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, into little white 6u gar -coated pills, that he called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must understand that when your intestines are stopped up, poisonB and decayed matter are imprisoned in your system, and these are carried by the blood throughout your body. Thus does your head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep, yonr skin may break out, your appetite declines, you get tired and despondent. As a matter of fact, yon may get sick all over. Don't you see bow useless all this suffering is? All that is often needed is a few of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he has placed in all drug stores for your convenience and health. Try them by all means. They are probably the very thing you need right now.
