18 SENATE AGREES TO POLICE BILL Passes Measure 'Adding to Force and Increasing Salaries In tlie Senate last niglit the Buck man bill increasing the State police force by adding 16 corpals and 90 pri vates and raising the salaries so that the total appropriation for salaries is made approximately $16,000 passed tinally and goes to the house. The bill was made a special order for 10 o'colck. It was attacked by Senator Charles A. Snyder, who said he could see no reason for extravagant salaries. The Auditor General-elect asserted that the salary of the superintendent of police was greater than that of the major general and brigadier general of the army commanding 3,000 men. He could not see, he said, the wisdom of paying the superintendent $6,000 per year for commanding 375 men. Replying. Senator Buckman, the au thor of the measure, said that at one election Senator Snyder had been chosen to two offices, telling in detail the offices he would fill by virtue of his election as Auditor General and plac ing the emoluments at close to $9,800 per year, including the salary of $1,500 as senator. Senator Snyder offered amendments, reducing the salary of the superintendent to $4,500 that of the deputy to $2,500 and of the cap tains from $2,400 to $2,000. The necessary unanimous consent to offer amendments was blocked by the objection of Senator Buckman and the bill passed by a vote of 33 to 11. Arthur E.

Creighton Webb, of New York City, writes: To the parents of America these questions are to-day put: Do you want your boy to die a perfectly useless and unnecessary death in the Held or in the hospi tal, or do you want him to go forth with a reasonable chance of coming home to you? The choice rests with you! Under the Constitution of the United States and under the na tional defense act of June 3, 1916, the President of the United States is authorized in case of war to call into military service all citizens of a lighting age. As your boy will have to go to war anyway if his services are needed, it is up to you to decide: Whether if he goes—and go he must—he shall go trained, hard ened and alive to the dangers that he is to meet, or .untrained, soft and ignorant of nnlitary matters and dangers, half awake and fear ful of the unknown; tiivc Him a Chance Whether he shall go a marks man, knowing how to attack .and defend, how to take care of him self in the tield, how to keep him self in vigorous health, how to look after his feet, his skin, his teeth, or whether ho shall go ig norant as a child of all the things that he needs to give him a chance to survive and win out alive; Whether he shall go to war with a reasonable chance of re turning therefrom, or to deadly certain disaster; ~ . Whether ho shall go with all the possibilities; that lie in his receptive young mind and active young body fully developed for MILITARISM AND MILITARY TRAINING In arguments about military train ing, one hears a good many adjectives used, and some pretty sharp nouns. It's a pity. We have a problem on our hands, and calling the neighbors hard names doesn't help to solve It. "Militarism" is one of these words that is being bandied about. An effi cient system of military defense, such ■is Washington and all constructive American statesmen have favored, is one thing; the militarism against which the French, British and Bel gian democracies are battle is quite another.—From "Comments on Con gress," In Collier's. his own safety, or undeveloped, blindly ignorant of these things that may save him. In a campaign the chances of trained men for ultimate safety are vastly superior to those of raw recruits. To send untrained troops to meet troops trained in modern warfare is sheer murder. They would die like sheep. It is up to the parents. Will they choose the wiser course and have their boy if he is called to the front go there alert, hardened, drilled, disciplined, awake to all possible dangers and prepared to meet them—a typical soldiers of the republic; or are they going to deny their boy that training and knowledge to which he has as much right as he has to the life tha your gave him, that training and knowledge which you cannot, but the government can and will gladly give him if you but say the word? Crime to Deny It To deny him this chance for his life would be a crime, for it is his right. Congress is about to meet agan. It will seek to avaid this issue be cause it will fear —what? The father's vote, the mother's thoughtless condemnation of a measure that she does not under stand. It is you that Congress fears. Nine months hence will be too late. Then your boy may have alreadys been called to the army, soft and helpless as he is now. If you want to give him a chance telegraph to your senators -and congressman urging them to pass a universal training bill before Congress adjourns and before it is too late. Act now! The future safety of your son rests in your own hands. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dolls ri Rwird for KB) caae of Catarrh that cannot be cored by Hall'f Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Such troubles may be overcome by preventative rather than curative measures. Leg weakness is 4 a common ailment of chicks up to six months of age. Im proper feeding, by which the weight is increased faster than the strength, is the most import-ant cause of this dis ease. A change of diet, as for instance the substitution of bran, oatmeal or pinhead oats for corn and cornmeal, will often correct leg weakness. Plenty of green feed should also be given and a little skimmilk is beneficial. Gapes is another chick trouble com mmm oim mm m mmm a mmm mm m mmm * mmm m mmm • mm mmm •mm • WAR CLAUSE?

It is caused by small parasitic worms which attach themselves to the inside of the wind pipe. The worms or the eggs from which they develop are taken into the body in c6ntahiinated food and through earthworms. The worms or eggs are frequently coughed up by the chick and contaminate the soil. Sandy, well-drained soils are least liable to contamination. Gapes may be prevented by putting the chicks on clean, fresh ground. Soil may be kept fresh by turning it over at regular periods.

HOW U-BOATS THREATEN PROSPERITY If the German submarines should even approximate their threats of stopping traffic to England, France and Russia, it would practically also amount to a prohibition of American export trade. This would immediately have a direct effect upon almost ev ery community in the country as well as the general effect of a depression and probably a panic. Our prosperity is largely measured by the fact, that, in 1913, our exports amounted to $25 per capita and, in 191H, S6O. Sixty per | cent, of theni go to England, France j and Russia. j A study of the sources of these ex- I ports show that they come from prac tically every section of the country. Grain, cotton, cattle, mules and horses I cover nearly the \\>hole country. All Ihese commodities constitute largo items. The copper from Montana and Arizona is as important to these states as iron or steel to Pennsylvania and Ohio.
