COXSE K VATION AND WASTE
It Is a:i i'' l complaint that wealth In
America i*oos to waste. With iron and
steel selling at record prices, the Sat
urday Evening I'ost appeals for a na
tion wide campaign
Joint Enterprise to save iron scraps
Will Create "nd Junt especial
a Junk Market ly and other mate
and a Thrift rials which have
Boom. been going to
waste.
Says the iv-'t: "Millions of dollars'
worth of iron and steel In the form of
broken down farm machinery and tou's
lie rusting In t»ani\ards and fence cor
uers. Eve-v village in the United
States has :i metal mine in its vacant
lots, hack .i.irds u:ul l>u;"-:y sheds.
"Wood. woolen and cotton cloth,
leather, [>a!>er ami copper lie by mil
lions of tons in attics, cellars, luml>er
rooms, stables and on the ground.
Time out of lrJiul we have thrown
away yearly what would sustain a pop
tilstton that had to e or.oml::e to the
last scrap. With these prices and un
der these conditions waste is sheer stu
pidity.
"Every village, town, city and rural
township ought to organize at once a
sy^temnti'' r:'.tisackin r of its waste
k'sket. T! e value of the waste on
any individuals premises may seem
unimportant H> hi:n us an individual,
but by systematic effort a bis nggre
pite value may be recovered for the
nation."
The uncertainty of a market for s«ch
stuff and the cost of transpoi-tatiou
are the chief causes of the general
neglect of the wealth wasted in scraps.
Tills might be remedied by co-opera
tion. As soon as the supply Is de
pendable dealers will get to work.
It. Osier says. "The military profes
sion Is far less tlanvrerous for persons
with pulmonary trouble than many oc
cupations of civil life." War is reliev
ing us of many artificialities and re
introducing us to the kindly elements;
hence the recovery—under "thurwlse
favorable conditions—of the tubercular
soldier in the field.
Those 11.000 bakers "forced out of
business" in the last year may deserve
sympathy and yet may merely have
put their new wealth Into munition,
gasoline and steel stocks.

ONLY ONE IN FOUR
FIT FOR ARMY TEST
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
In the regular army three out of four
applicants are rejected for physical de
fects, some of -which could be remedied
If known beforehand. Defective eyes,
ears and teeth are the principal causes.
Type three-fourths of an Inch high
must be read at twenty feet. Ears
that can hear whispers or low tones
•t twenty feet will pass. Certain teeth
fnolo Dy Anunon ri»a
PABADZ BXST WITH Wrtl.
must be perfect or properly filled—
"grinders."
Weight, chest measure and expan
sion come next In these, faults may
sometimes be remedied before risking
a test. The requirements are: At 5
feet 4 inches, weight 120 pounds, chest
measure at least 30 Inches, with chest
expansion 2 Inches. At 5 feet 5, 122
pounds, chest 30, expansion 2 Inches.
At 5 feet 0, 124 pounds, 30\s chest 2
Inches expansion. At 5 feet 7, 120
pounds, 31 chest 2 expansion. At S
feet S. 129 pounds. 31Vi chest 2Vi ex
pansion. At 0 feet 9, 138 pounds, 31H
chest, 2% expansion. At 5 feet 10, 135
pounds. 32 chest. 2^ expansion. At 5
feet 11. 142 pounds. 3214 chest, 2% ex
pansion.
For six footers the scale begins with
149 pounds, 32% chest, 8 Inches expan
sion. For every added Inch up to 4
the weight Increases 7 pounds, chest
Increases *4 an inch with 3 Inch ex
pansion up to 6 feet 4. which is 3^4.
Underweight, bad teeth and faulty
chest development may be remedied
where the defects are not serious.
Among the exercises recommended by
army experts to be taken before reach
ing camp are those which will reduce
the waist strengthen, limber or harden
muscles and Joints and develop the
chest The proper exercises for the
purpose are known to every athlete.

Naatnasa Mad* Him Senator,
A former member of the United
States senate says In the American
Magazine:
' "Tlie habit of neatness had grown
□pon me. I know now that It had a
great Influence on my entire future
career. I got so that I couldn't bear
the sight of a fly speck. When not
waiting on customers I busied myself
polishing glasses or scrubbing the
counter. I saw to It that everything
about the place glistened with its spot
less cleanliness. We had big glass
domes which we used as covers for
cakes. I kept these so bright and
shining as to excite comment by trav
eling men. One of my duties was to
prepare the ham sandwiches. I care
fully cut away all the fat, and people
got to liking my sandwiches better
than those served at other stations."
Through this habit of neatness this
man won the start In life that ulti
mately landed him in the United States
senate.
WHAT YOU HAVE.
Do good with what thou haat
or it will do thee no good. If
thou wouldst be happy, bring thy
mind to thy condition and have
an indlfferency for mora than

A STITCH IN TIME
Alaska People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney trouble is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slights* back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be -warning you of approach
ing dropsy, gravel or Bright'g dis
ease Kidney disease seldom is fa
tal if treated in. time, but naglect
may r*ve the way. Dom't neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular
or t'iscolored urine, headaches,
weariness or depression. If you fe
yo.i need kidney help begin using
tl • reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan < Kidney Pills. For 50 years,
Doan's have been found effective
Fudorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. S. O. Turner, 60*8% Tenth
S*., Sacramento, California., says:
"I underwent three operations and
this severe strain, together with
colds, affected my kidneys. I had
oain through my back and could
hardly stoop over for if I tried to,
pains caught me. My back) and limbs
were so Stiff I couldn's move My
kidnfys acted too often. Doan's
Kidney Pills have promptly reliev
ed me of every attack of kidney Buf
fering."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
tnat Mrs. Turner had. Foster
