««f CAMP DODGE READY FOR NEXT RECRUITS (Continued from first pace.) make himself worthy of their respect. When the men went to the rifle range to practice this fellow discovered that he could make a better record than either of the men with whom he marched. When the regimert went on a midnight hike of several miles this man stood the jaunt better than either of his comrades. He discovered a lot of things he could do better than the other fellow. This gave him confidence in himself and he took pride in doing his best. In other words, this down-and-outer found him self. His manhood, however debased it might have been asserted itself and now he takes pride in doing his full duty, is popular among his comrades, is a gentleman in conduct and bearing always. I tell you there is nothing that will bring a man to himself quite like showing him respect." The Captain said a lot more about others whom he had been observing but this one case serves the purpose. Comradeship, the equality that comes from rigid discipline, and the mingling of the men on a common level all add dignity and confidence. Saving Food Is a Solemn Duty The army permits no waste. Every soldier that takes his mess kit for food must consume all he receives or else eat the leavings at the next meal before any fresh food is given him. Inspectors give strict heed to this matter of saving and the soldiers are pretty well educated along that line already. It only requires a few cold dishes to impress the lesson indelibly. In the bread baking department are 125 men learning the art of bread making. They are under the direction of Lieutenant John Fogarty, vice-pres ident of the Bast-Fogarty Milling Co., ^who are constructing a mill in Des Moines that will cost a half million dollars. His knowledge of flour and other food stuffs enabled him to or ganize the bakers into an economic force from the start. Nothing is wast ed. Every particle of flour of what ever kind is utilized and there are no bad batches of bread turned out. The bakery is an immense affair. There are also what are called field baker ies where the same system is in force that is displayed in the.main establish ment. Life Insurance Is Popular The work of enrolling men in tak ing advantage of the government's life insiiranee proposition continues and over $94,000,000 have been written. It is believed that $100,000,000 will be reached by the time the officers com plete the work. Lieutenant Colonel J. F. McKinley, is conducting the cam paign for the sale of war risk insur ance to soldiers. The amount of in surance taken out by soldiers at Camp Dodge is considered remarkable in view of the fact that less than the di-'models vision's full quota has participated in the buying. Practically the entire sum is credited to the 23,000 men and officers at the cantonment. Men Wanted To Train Pigeons. Carrier pigeons play an important part in obtaining information from the trenches France and what are known in army circles as pigeon lofts are being established at all of the training stations in this country. Major East man, division signal officer wants every soldier that knows anything about pigeons to report at once to him. Bel ligerents Europe are making ex tensive use of the small birds. When all methods of communication fail, the birds are released and make their way back to the home loft, which will be behind the lines some distance. They have been found very valuable, and after being released can successfully escape from gas, as they fly high. For the protection of the pigeon while in the trenches, from poison gas, masks are placed around the cages, and even tiny masks have been made to protect these birds. Officers From California. Officers who reached Camp Dodge the past week from The Presidio, Cal., and who have been assigned to the Three Hundred Twentieth signal corps are First Lieuts. Guy H. Parmelee, A. E. Royal, Laurence Smith, L. L. War dell to the Four Hundred Fourth tele graph battalion, First Lieuts. R. W. Whiteside, W. F. Weitzenburg, H. B. Segar from Fort Leavenworth to the same battalion, First Lieut. W. E. Liggett from the same place to the Three Hundred Thirteenth signal bat talion, First Lieuts. A. E. Herzerberg, W. C. Burch, L. T. Millet, A. D. Lay, D. W. Hayes. Medical Officers Ordered to Camp Dodge. The erection of eight more buildings for the base hospital unit and the ad dition of 500 more beds make an un usual demand for medical officers. It is announced from Washington that Capt. Frederick C. Test, medical re serve corps, Fort Des Moins is or dered to orthopedic service Camp Dodge in addition to other duties. Capt. Joseph Peed quartermaster reserve corps, is ordered to Camp Dodge as assistant to constructing quartermaster. Medical reserve officers ordered to Camp Dodge to examine the troops for tuberculosis ai»: Capt. Perry C. Williams, Oscar S. Essenson, Wilber A. Griffith, Ch arles H. Meyst, Roger W. Scofield, bK,\&< -*iJSW*sk' Wiley T. Sprague, Joseph M. Ulrich, Timothy C. Weber.' Other medical reserve officers ordered to Camp Dodge are: Capt. Walter Sharpe and first Ljeu tenent Lewis Browne and Horace Richardson. as*. $m^ Ran 17 Miles. Simply to show the people of the north what a southerner can do when he wants to test his enduring powers Sam Cox, a soldier at Camp Dodge, made a cross country run of 17 miles without a single stop. Young Cox, who was a student athlete at the Universri% of Louisiana, started on the run to the camp at 2:05 and reached his destination at 4.:20, covering the distance 2 hours and 15 minutes. He wants to get into the aviation service. He enlisted in the 'egular army at Memphis, Tenn., last June. He is a mei^bt? of the medical department of the Three Hundred and Thirty-eighth field artil lery. Name Aviation Board. A board of medical examiners has been appointed at Camp Dodge to examine men who wish to enter the aviation service of the signal corps. This will do away with the former practice of having enlisted men go to Omaha for the examinations. The board consists of Maj. H. C. Todd, Capt. John H. Peck and Lieut. Frank B. Lust. Bayonet Drills Have Started. The trenches being dug west of the camp site are nearing completion and classes will be held in the trenches with conditions as nearly like those on the western front in Europe as is possible. Instead of using regulation steel bayonets and rifles, the combatants will use strongly made wooden guns, the exact length of a rifle, with bayonet affixed. A tennis ball is fastened upon the point of the bayonet that no injury may re sult. The combatants are instructed to withhold no energy and to strike with a vim similar to that which they expect to use with real weapons in the trenches. For some time the classes will be re stricted to officers of the rank of captain or higher. As the instruction of these men is completed they in turn will in struct lieutenants and the enlisted men. Home for the Holidays. Passes good for four days are to be issued to the men who desire to go home for a short holiday visit. One-half of the men are to get passes for Christmas and the other half for New Years. It is argued that passes are more attractive than furloughs. Artillery Practice Is Soon to Begin. The artillery range is being placed in order as fast as possible. Farmers are moving from Iheir homes that no danger may result from the heavy practice. A number of guns have been received. The sizes of the guns assigned are, Iowa, 339th, six inch howitzers Minnesota, 337th, 4.7 inch and North Dakota, 339th, with 3 inch guns. The 313th mortar battery commanded by Captain Doland Stewart, St. Cloud, Minn., will also use the range. Wooden have been prepared by the men for actual firing practice, so that when active artillery practice begins, the gun will not be anew thing. Army Police Promotions. Col. Harbison has announced promo tions for a number of military police. First Company: First Private Forest B. Claxton of Fayette, la., to be sergeant. Corporal Charles W.

Mc-days To show how it is possible for the government sleuths to follow a fellow who is attempting to escape military duty the case of Elmer Edward Kep ler, of Macomb, 111., is interesting. Kepler was drafted in Macomb but reg istered at Kingman, Kan., where he was working. He left Kingman the same day however, and spent the next three in jail at Conway Springs, Kan., while the authorities looked up his registration. He then went to Kansas City, spending two days there. From there he went to Sioux City for a couple of'days and later worked successively at Vermillion, S. D., Daisy, N. D. and McHenry, N. D., in the harvest fields. He was captured by United States soldiers at Devils Lake, N. D., and taken to Minneapolis, where he was held in the Hennepin county jail until a detail of soldiers from Fort Snelling brought him to Camp Dodge late in September W ien Kepler and his three companions 1 nded in the guard house. When placed am trial all three of the men declared their willingness to be true soldiers for the repullic, a possible sentence of death or life imprisonment doubtless prompted the change of heart. Kepler was afield agent for the I. W. W.'s Cot., Harrison J. Price was president of the court, the other members present being Maj. E. Hadley, and Capts. Barney C. Gill, Orren E. Safford, Walter A7 Akers, Adam Richmond, Charles E. Mohler, Arthur L. Kauf, John M. H. Nichols and Robert H. Neeley. Capt. William H. Kennedy, a member of the court, was excused from service on having, as regimental adjutant of the Three Hundred Thirty-seventh artillery, to which Kepler was assigned, had the man in his custody and having signed the charges. Captain Kennedy was used by the judge advocate as a witness to identify the prisoner. Lieut. Varro, E. Tyler, assistant judge advocate aided the presentation of the case against Kepler. ^m HOSPITAL NEWS Miss Hilda Backer of Vesta, Albert Kuester of Courtland, Helen Steffen of St. George, Gladys Williams of Cambria, and Herbert Einecke of Courtland were all patients at local hopsitals who under went operations the past week.

He said that when he sug gested the Groebner corner, which he understood could be purchased at a reasonable price, he was led to believ3 that this was sacred ground and should not be molested. ^J)fK F. W. Johnson favored a corner site and was especially partial to the Wo ratschke corner, because it is nearest to the business center of the city because the plot of ground is level and because he felt that New Ulm should provide rest rooms and that these could be united -with the City Hall if that site were selected He saidfurtherthat the Dakota House had furnished public re.t rooms for the city for the past fifteen years and he was getting tired of that job. He also said that it would be a mistaken policy to place the City Hall at an un desirable place just because it would amount to an initial saving of a few thousand dollars. He said that we were building for the future and should build so that in case it shojld become necessary to increase the size of the City Hall that it ,uld be done. s. Dr. J. L. Schoch was another speaker who favored a corner site location. The matter was finally disposed of by the Club going on record by a unanimous vote that they are opposed to the present site and that tfrey fav^r the erection of the City Hall on a corner. The com mittee which was appointed by tre Board was requested to present the views of the Commercial Club to the City Council at an early date. It was suggested that hereafter the minutes of the Board of Directors, which usually meets before the club convenes, should be read the same evening, thvs keeping the members informed of the work that is being accomplished by the board. A communication from the Detroit Chassis Company, autonobi'e factory promoters who are looking for a location in some thriving smaller community, requesting information about the City of New Ulm and the possibilities of in teresting capital in such a factory here, was read and referred to the Committee on Industries.

Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stag nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile aad poisonous toxins thus cleansing,^Sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before nutting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone: phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a~ splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the* water and phosphate is quietly ex tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs ^The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is. sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject ot internal sanitation.
