SAYS ARMY OF
EMPLOYE HAS THE
300,000 SUFFICIENT RIGHT TO BRING SUIT
That’s What General Persh-
ing Told Military Commit-_
tee of Congress.
Washington.—Dissenting in many
important respects from the program
recommended by the war department
and the general staff, General Persh-
ing told the military committee ol
congreas Friday that 300,000 men,
raised entirely by voluntary enlist
ment, should be the outside figure
considered for a standing army.
He favored universal military train-
ing to provide an emergency reserve,
but thought general educational work
should be combined with it and mili-
tary discipline “somewhat relaxed,”
so that the system would be in com-
plete harmony with democratic insti-
tutions. He fixed six months as the
training period.
The department had recommended
an army of more than 500,000, with a
system of universal training, not em-
bracing the educational feature. Its
recommendation for a training period
was three months.
Departing again from the expressed
views of the department, the general
declared army purchasing should be
reorganized in a new bureau, apart
from the quartermaster corps, and
that a separate department of the
government should be organized to co-
ordinate and supervise military, naval
and commercial aeronautics. He con-
sidered the department’s request for
231 general staff officers excessive and
made clear his opposition to any effort
by the staff to extend its authority
into the details of the department
bureaus and of the line.
during the day of testimony before
the two committees, which opened a
series of special joint sessions to hear
his views on peace time reorganization
of the army, the former commander
of the American expeditionary forces
expressed several times his unfamiliar-
ity with the present makeup and policy
of the general staff, and emphasized
that he was speaking directly from
his experience in the field. But he
did not hesitate to put into pointed
language his opinions on the abstract
questions presented by committee
^members.
Opinion Is of Far-Reaching
Importance in Construction
Of Workmen’s Relief Act.
Austin, Tex.—The third court of clyil
appeals has rendered an opinion of a
far-reaching importance in the con-
struction of the workmen’s compen-
sation law, holding that an employe
may refuse to accept compensation
under the act and sue a third party
for damages because of the injury re-
sulting during the course of his em-
ployment.
The opinion was written by Assist-
ant Justice Brady and filed Friday in
the case styled Cameron & Co. vs.
Gamble, from McLennan. Gamble was
employed by a furniture company, and
in delivering a table to a tenant in
the Camgron office building was in-
jured by falling into the elevator
shaft. He received $158 under the
compensation act from the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Compa-
ny, but subrogated his rights to that
company to that extent. He sued Cam-
eron & Co. and obtained judgment for
$2,341, the jury, under instructions
from the court, having deducted the
sum of $158.40, the amount received ! his*business*
Cancer Kills One in Ten
Over Forty; Curable, Federal
Health Service Declares
The federal health service, re-en-
forcing repeated advice from state
health boards and the American So-
ciety for the Control of Cancer, has
issued a cancer circular for public dis-
tribution. It declares one out of every
ten persons over forty dies of cancer.
While the great war cost the United
States about 80,000 lives, cancer in
the same two years claimed 180,000
people in this eountry.
The government agency warns that
caneer is unquestionably increasing
throughout the world, although It is
curable If treated esrly.
“At the beginning cancer is ususAy
painless and difficult to detect,” the
new bulletin points out. “At its first
small growth it can be safely and
easily removed by a competent sur-
geon. Cancer Is not a constitutional
or ‘blood’ disease, - is not contagious,
and is, practically speaking, not her-
‘ editary. Persistent abnormal dis-
; charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores,
, cracks, lacerations, lumps and ulcers
which do not heal, and warts, moles or
birthmarks which change in size, color
or appearance, may turn into cancer
unless treated and cured. Persistent
Indigestion in middle life, with loss of
weight and change of color, or with
pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for
thorough and competent medical ad-
vice as to the possibility of internal
cancer. M doctor who treats a sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examinatioa does not know
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury-
quicksilver; and attacks your bones. Take a dose-
of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick,
and nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a day’s work..
INSTEAD, TAKE
Dodson’s Liver Tone1
There's no reason why a person should take sickening,
salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle
Of Dodson’s liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start
your liver Just as surely as calomel, but it doesn’t
make you flick and can not salivate. Take a spoonful
of Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and yon will wake up
feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, slug-
gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach,
kour druggist says if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money ia
waiting for you. Even children like its pleasant taste.

by Gamble under the compensation
act.
This is affirmed by the appellate
court and the judgment stand*.
The court finds that the casualty
company refused to bring suit undei
the subrogation conferred by the com-
pensation law and refused to join
Gamble in the prosecution of the suit
and failed to authorise him to prose
cute same, though requested to do so.
The bulletin emphasize* that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all-important.

fected by one lone man. Senor Mes-
tre, the' personal attorney of Mr. Jen-
kins, according to advices received.
-The following procla-
mation by the
of Texas vtas issued Thursday:
“I have heretofore designated Tues-
day, November 11, ‘Armistice day’ as
a holiday in Texas and have called
upon the citizens of the State to ob-
serve it with appropriate services.
“To more specifically recognize the
patriotic impulses that prompt the
observance of the first anniversary of
the cessation of fighting, and to pay
a well deserved tribute to the men
who achieved the victory, and to the
organization composed of the men who
fought m the war, it is a pleasure to
designate November 11 as ‘American
Legion day.’
“It is particularly appropriate that
this day be set apart as a day when
the minds of all shall he directed to
the achievements of the American
Legi<&, since upon its date it will hold
its first national convention and
change from its temporary status to
one of the outstanding permanent or-
ganizations in American life.
“The American Legion is composed,
wholly of American citizens who serv-
ed in the military, naval or marine
forces of the United States or her
allies during the period of the world
war and who received therefrom dis- j
charges. Its purpose is 100 per cent ;
Americanism, and its constitution pro- j
vides that it is ‘non-sectarian, non-
partisan and non-political.’
“Therefore, I, W. P. Hobby, governor
of the State of Texas, do hereby offifi
cially designate Tuesday, November
11, as ‘American Legion day,’ and urge
that not only former service men, bat
all citizens, acquaint themselves with
the noble purposes and patriotic natrre
of the American Legion.
“In testimony whereof I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the s?al
of the State to be hereon impressed

mountains
There is considerable profit in poul-
try at the present time. The matter
of profit in poultry keeping is a thing
which each person must solve for him-
self, so much depends upon the keeper.
Poultry raising is not easy work; it
requires lots of time and patience.
Where stock is kept and poultry has
free range, a hen may be kept for a
year on four to six pecks of corn or
its equivalent. No one thinking of
going into this business can figure on
a profit above $1 a hen, and that is
much too large if the keeper is inex-
perienced.
If the hens are given warm, clean,
dry quarters and a variety of grain—
green vegetable food of some kind—
with plenty of ground oyster shells
and once or twice a week a little
' ground bone and meat meal, they will

A SOFT, VELVETY SKIN

as a fair, smooth skin. Neither soaps
nor powders can give this. Thou-

and blotches and give It that bright

A Gentle Hint.
He—“I nc-vah eat lobsters myself,
Miss Gwace.” She—“I’d think you’d
feel like a cannibal If you did.”
At the beginning of the negotiations
for the ransom of Mr. Jenkins, Fred-
erico Cordova, the leader of the ban-
dits, stipulated that any effort on the
part of the consular agent’s friends
to appear in force at the bandit’s
rendezvous would result in the death
of Mr. Jenkins. Senor Mestre, there-
fore, met Cordova at Hacienda Chav-
arra, which is situated about two
hours’ run by automobile south of
Puebla. He was then conducted to
a room, where he found Mr. Jenkins
lying on a bed. After a short parley
the ransom money, $300,000 Mexican,
was counted out and a receipt was
signed by Cordova. Mr. Jenkins was
then released and on the arm of Senor
Mestre left the house, being accom-
panied for some distance by Cordova’s
men, who acted as guard.
The two men finally were conveyed
to Puebla by automobile.
Few details of incidents which oc-
curred during Mr. Jenkins’ week of
captivity have been learned, as he is
! not physically able to tell much of his
■ experience in the mountains except
j that his abductors were on the move
continually to guard against attacks,
j They treated their prisoner with every
consideration possible, however, it is
said.
Forced ta sleep on tlie wet ground
during a week of daily rains, Mr. Jenk-
ins suffered a recurrence of rheumatic
attacks, which rendered him almost
helpless. He now is in the American
Hospital at Puebla.
i “Cleanliness, a variety of grain, regu-
larity of feeding, pure clean water
given twice a day, and a well-littered
shed for exercise, must be provided.
I feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and
oats in the morning and evening; the
grain is sown over the cut straw in
the feeding room. At noon scalded
fine-cut clover hay mixed with wheat
bran and a little oil meal is fed. On
this food the hens lay fairly well, even
,ln cold weather. I raise most all of
my feed and have an abundance of
grass and clover pasture in summer,
and rye and wheat pasture in winter.
When snow covers the ground, I feed
cabbage leaves, beets and turnips, cut
fine and mixed with bran. There is
not much money in the business if
most of the grain has to be bought and
hired help employed.”

Homage Paid First President.
Washington. — Belgium’s monarch
paid homage Wednesday to the mem-

King Albert placed a wreath upon the
sarcophagus of the nation’s first chief

the spots where lie Grant, Lincoln
and Roosevelt, but the simple cere-

Men Bellhops and Waiters
Get More Tips Than Women,
Labor Statistics Reveal
Hotel guests pay far larger tips to
bellhops and waiters than to chamber-
maids, according to estimates of man-
agers of 153 hotels reported in the la-
bor review of the department of labor.
The figures show that maids receive
average tips of only from 11 to 88 j
cents a day, as compared with $1.27 to ^
$3.78 for bellmen and from $1.16 to :
$3.67 for waiters.
The difference makes the real in- j
come of maids less than bellmen, al- j
though the average daily rate of wages I
is $1.29 for the maid and 86 cents for
the bellboy.
The report shows that men working
in hotels and restaurants outnumber
women in occupations usually regard-
ed as women’s work. Of the 40,000
employees counted in those vocations,
24,000 are men. Of the cooks 9 per
cent are women, of the dishwashers,
40 per cent are women, and of the
kitchen help, 37 per cent are women.
A striking contrast between the
wages paid men and women in the
same occupation is shown by the re-
port, which is said to be the first ever
prepared on a nation-wide scale for
the hotel business. Thus, 24 men
cooks are paid $10 a day, while only
one woman receives as much as $6 «
day. The largest group of men clean-
ers receives $2 a day, women, $1.
