and south of the border. Included In
tbp number of civilian army doctors
in a goodly number of Texans.
Noctled In I'em ice.
The American physicians are Im-
peratively needed in France. The
French government has asked for
them and thej are leaving imine-
dlattjv. Not only arc the American
1 physicians desired by the French
but their English allies want them
too and the "and spread wings and
iscrpent of the medical corps insig-
nia "ill be seen with the armies of
both nations. The American doctors
will be the forerunners of the Ameri-
can soldiers who will come later.
Not only will the doctors be the
| first Americans to land in France
by and with the consent of their
government but they will be gain-
ing valuable experience to aid them
' m ministering to the wants of Ameri-
can troopers who undoubtedly will
need their attention.
Will send Over 20000.
It is planned to send approximate-
ly 20.000 American physicians to the
(front. The great majority of the new
army doctors have deserted their
civilian practice and are enrolled in
the service of the nation. Already
i more than eight thousand conunis-
l>h»ns have been granted to officers
of the medical reserve corps who
are automatically transferred to the
(regular medical corps. This number
on a basis of seven physicians to
every regiment mean H that the gov-
' eminent is prepared to look after
'the health of an army of 1.000000
men. When the entire 20000 phyai-
kiuns are enrolled they will be capa-
' ble of giving relief to an army of
3000.000 men.
Under the guidance of the Council
of National Defense wd especially
Dr. Franklin H. Martin **f Chicago.
1 head of the medical section doctors
of the country have long been pre-
paring for the important duty that
now’ confronts them.
I*roud of Doctors.
Dr. Martin is proud of the man-
ner in which the medical profes-
sion has responded to the country's
• all and he terms the physicians who
are going to the front "hand picked"
men who represent the highest levels
i <>f the profession in every state of
the Union. As a matter of fact there
I is hardly a dvunty in the whole coun-
try which has not contributed one
j or more of its doctors. Through the
I national state and county medical
associations physiotans have for
months been enrolled and waiting to
do the nation's bidding.
“Of course” said Dr. Martin in
commenting on the request of the
allies' and the government’s imme-
diate response "we could not have
got ready overnight for the granting
<«f these requests from our allies or
for enrolling and training physicians
for our own armies. As a matter of
fact we began a year ago for just
this emergency and the results show
that nobody need feel any doubt
about the patriotism or the humane-
ness of the American physician. In
Tim© of peace I grant the army of
late years has not proved a very
great attraction to young doctors.
There has been naturally enough
greater professional opportunities for

For Her.

i I was always well and hearty”

"1 have always been accounted
healthy. I never felt any trouble
like . . . weakness until I came
Ito the change of life. I was about
ferty-five when that began. I
think I would have died had I not
found out what a good friend to
women Cardui is.
I suffered a great deal. I had a
number of fainting spells and . . .
would be obliged to lie in bed a
week or two at a time. I never
liked to lie in bed because it in-
terfered so with my work. The
swimming in my head was nearly
continuous. I could not stoop down
it would make me so dizzy. I think
I used Cardui off and on for two or
three years using in that time
about 8 or 10 bottles. I began to
feel the improvement in health be-
fore I had taken ono bottle but
kept on taking it until I got in
perfect health.
Had it not been for Cardui I
know I would have been dead. . .
Now I am 62 years old and weigh
about 175 and am In the most per-
fect health.”

“It seemed as if all of the 1 17.^00
doctors of the United States wanted
tn do something for the country.
They all became Mr. Brit lings hunt-
ing opportunities to serve. We have
had to turn down applications by the
thousands some because they were
from men too old for army work
others for the reason that they were
from men who were indispensable to
the welfare u. the nation or states

THE SAN ANTUNIU LIGHT.
President Wilson and other admlnD-
’ tration nnd army officials. Since Ha
in< option Dr. Martin's committee of
the Council of National Defense has
labored industriously preparing for
the present emergency and for the
I after-the-war period.
"Our first work" he continued
"was to ascertain the medical re-
sources of the country and the real
inswrr to the inquiry we started on
that line was the response of the
21000 doctors to the call to enroll.
They are all classified according to
their ages their specialties and their
(raining. It is not necessary for the
government to make any blind
guesses as to a man's qualifications
in pit kmc him for a special piece of
military medical work. <>n the con-
trary we are in a position to get
the maximum amount of efficiency
and service from the country’s me<li-
cal resources by knowing what
these resources are in detail .as well
as in bulk.
Manilardi/p All Supplies.
"Thanks to the co-operation of
manufacturers and all others con-
cerned we have standardized surgi-
cal instruments and supplies and pro-
vided for their pnaluctlnn to meet
future needs of troops without in-
creasing the cost of these things or
cutting off the supply from civilian
hospitals.
Dr. Martin’s committee has gath-
ered a great amount of valuable data
from army physicians who have been
in the war since its inception. In ad-
dition many scientific conferences
dealing with war problen< have been
held.
"We have provided” he said in
conclusion” against the impajrment
of medical service in home com-
munities and against the danger of
Wrecking the faculties of our medi-
cal schools by the transferring of so
many physicians from civil to mili-
tary life. Looking still further into
the future we have taken up the
problems of providing for the phy-
sical welfare of army and navy men
after the war and of protecting the
civil population against the spread
of disease by returning troops ur
refugees.”
WOULD CURB USE OF
FLAG INJJVERTISING
Assistant District Attorney
Also Opposed to Other
Ways It Is Used.
Believing that the indiscriminate
manner in which the American flag
is used for advertising and decora-
tive purposes tends to lower respect
for the country’s national emblem
Hugh R. Robertson assistant Unit-
ed States district attorney said Fri-
day he will take the matter up with
the State Department and seek to
have Congress enact a statute that
will prohibit such use. At present
he said no Federal statute forbids
the use of the flag in that manner.
Mr. Robertson's statement was
made after his attention had been
directed to the fact that the Amer-
ican flag recently has come into con-
siderable use lor borders on hand-
kerchiefs and is interwoven in many
instances in collars and other wear-
ing apparel. Further many "stick-
ers.” representing the flag are sold
and are found pasted on garments
and walls of buildings. The motive
in every instance Mr. Robertson
said may be excellent but the com-
mon vending and use of the flag
representattions he said seemed to
him to “cheapen” the American em-
blem.
A state statute will take effect
June 29 which will prohibit the use
of either the American or the Texas
flag for advertising purposes. The
state enactment imposes a penalty
of $lOO and 30 days in jail for sell-
ing or giving away “any article or
substance being an article of mer-
chandise upon which shall have
been printed painted attached or
otherwise placed a representation of
any such flag standard color or en-
sign to advertise call attention to
decorate mark or distinguish said
article or substance.” The same
penalty plus an additional $5O is
imposed for mutiliating the Amer-
ican or Texas flac.

Dansant Proves Huge Success
Despite Inclement Weather.
Aid to Recruiting.
A moving patriotic appreciation
of the "boys of Battery B” was the
dansant given by the women of San
Antonio Thursday evening at the
Gunter Hotel. It was a democratic
gathering representative of the
various elements of the city life and
as the result of the large attendance
and general success of the affair
sufficient money has been raised to
purchase a motor truck for the bat-
tery the gift of the girls and women
of San Antonio.
Six hundred dollars is a rough es-
timate of the money taken in. In
order to get in ail returns of the sale
of tickets and the necessary expenses
of the entertainment a meeting of
all committees and persons who had
tickets for sale is called at 10:30
Saturday morning in the Wolff &
Marx AucUtorium.
One of the largest crowds that
have ever attended any ono affair in
San Antonio was present at the dan-
sant Thursday evening and it is
thought that even a larger crowd
would have attended had it not been
for the bad weather. The dancing
began at 8 o’clock the dance being
opened by Mayor-elect and Mrs. Sam
O. Itoi! and Capt. and Mrs. Claude
V. Birkhead. At 10 o’clock Bugler
Tatum gave the signal for the patri-
otic exercises. Judge George B.
Taliaferro and Captain Birkhead
made stirring patriotic talks. Cap-
tain Birkhead saying that the activi-
। ties in interest of the battery had
j stimulated recruiting. Mrs. C. L.
Davenport read an original ode “A

sang "The Star Spangled Banner."

The juice of two fresh lemons

three ounces of orchard white
makes a quarter pint of the most

You Can’t Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it then you
destroy it entirely. To do this get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morn-
ing most if not all. uf your dan-
druff will be gone and three ur
four more applications will com-
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it
no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
! You will find too. that all itch-
' ing and digging of the scalp will
[stop at once and your hair will be
fluffy lustrous glossy silky and
(soft and look and feel a hundred
j times better.
You can get liquid arvon At any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
