Student Army Training Corps."
The foregoing Is the answer given
by the war department to the young
man who is wondering how he can
render the most valuable service to
his country during the period of the
war.
The Student Army Training Corps | even the ground Is burning hot.
Is designed to mobilize the educational
forces of the country in training young
men for leadership In the future con-
duct of the war. The schools and
colleges of every state are to serve
the government under the provisions
of this plan, after having secured
recognition and approval from the
Committee on Education and Special
Training of the War Department.
Texas educational institutions have
made special provision* for comply-
ing with the wishes of the government
and are making arrangements neces-
sary to the training of the 2,449 young
men, the number designated as the
Mate's quota. The government has
prepared 120,600 uniforms which are
to b* worn by this student army.
One of the objects of the promoters
of this special training is to prevent
the premature enlistment for activ*
service of these men who could by
extending the period of their college
training multiply manifold their valu*
to the country. Scletlflc training I* In-
dispensable, engineering skill is need-
ed by the officers w ho direct every im-
portant military operation and who
control our lines of transport and com-
munication; chemical and physical
knowledge are in constant demand at
the front as well as behfnd the lines,
while the task of saving the lives and
restoring the health of hundreds of
thousands of wounded calls for the
■ervices of regiments of military phy-
sicians. The scientific training which
prepare* a man to fulfill one of these
highly specialized duties and the more
liberal training which helps to de-
velop the qwtlities of leadership need-
ed by the officer or administrator are
essential elements of military effic-
iency.
The plan does not contemplate the
leMMning of the purpose cf the schools
to teach the cultural studies but
make* the military phase of school
work an additional demand upon the
student to improve his own oppor-
tunities while serving the government
In the development of his physical
and military facilities to the degree
demanded by the emergencies of war.
There are 700,000 illiterates in the
army, each of whom should come
under the direction of an officer capa-
ble of Instilling a love for Hteraary
training on a parity with military
training in order that the soldier may
render most effective service.
Elistment in the Student Army
Training Corps does not hold out any
promise of an officer's commission,
yet It presents the plainest road lead-
ing in that direction.
The Telegram has been so much im-
pressed with the possibilities that may
develop from this project that a spec-
ial effort has been made to have the
schools of adiacet territory to present
Ihe proposition to our readers in their
own terms, wh.ch has been done In

Fooled Again.
Said the kaiser to his men, "do
and wade in gefre again, at this
pinch; for the French, we've bled
them white, and Americans won't
fight—it's a cinch. Tou have heard
these Yankee chaps are Just suffer-
ing for scraps with the Teut? 1
am Wllhelm, always right, and 1
say they will not fight, worth a
hoot. There is but a handful here,
and 'twill cost that handful dear,
bet your boots; Just a handful ban
been brought her* to scrap with me
und Oott, and my Teuts. They are
money grubbllng gents; they can't
fight worth eighteen cents, take my
word; do not fear that bunch of
jays, with their awkward backwoods
ways—It's absurd. I will stand upon
this hill, I your kaiser, Unser Bill,
on its brow; and I'll watch your
mighty ranks going through the
yielding Yanks, like a plow. Her*
1 take my ktngly stand with my
sceptre in my hand—go ahead! 1
will keep you in my view while the
crimson fields you strew, with your
dead." Then the kaiser from his
hill saw his mighty legions drill to
the fray; and he saw the Yankees
come, to the stirring beat of drum,
making hay. And he saw his sol-
diers chase, punished, rattled and
disgraced, shot and spiked; oh, they
struck their hardest trots, hitting
but the higher spots, as they hiked.
Who can tell the kaiser's woe. as
he watched the scene below, red and
wet. But the Yankees, full of vim,
didn't make a hit with him, we may
bet.
A man can't understand why his ex-
cuses do not sound as logical to others
as they do to himself.
Until after the war no evening
clothes will be worn by the men and
women at the Spokane (Wash.)
Country Club. Decision to bar for-
mal dress was made recently by the
entertainment committee, and It Is
declared to be In keeping with other
war economies.

YOUR HEALTH
Br ANDREW r. CURRIER, ED.
Goitre No. 1
A foltre li • tumor, or swelling,
on the front of the neck, caused by
the enlargement cf the gland on
either side of the larynx, called th«
"thyroid gland."
It occurs in almost every por-
tion of the world, but la extremely
common In certain localities—for
Instance, the county of Derbyshire,
in England, where It Is known as
"Derbyshire neck," and tome of the
valleys In Switzerland.
It is thought that the nee of lime
water for drinking purposes cause*
It in the localities mentioned, but
If thia is so, why should not lime
water produce similar remits la
other localities?
Th* thyroid gland is an import-
ant. eran indispensable, portion of
the machinery of the body, for it
takes from the blood the iodine
which has been separated from the
food, and prepares the secretion
called "thyroldin," which seems te
he necessary to the proper function-
ing of the body.
If there is too mueh of this se-
cretion, the gland swells up and the
body is orersupplied with iodine
and poisoned by it, the condiUoa
being known as hyperthyroidism.
The thyroid has no duct or out-
let, like the spleen and a number of
other glands called ductless, its se-
cretion being taken up directly by
the blood current and distributed
to the body.
When poisoning with organic
iodine has occurred, we not only
have the swelling of the gland on
tho neck, but also bulging of the
eyes, rapid action of the heart, and
other symptoms which together
make up what Is known as Graves'
or Basedow's disease, both Graves
and Basedow having described the
disease independently of each other.
Accompanying the tumor there
may also be general weakness, tu-
berculosis, disorders of the skia,
and other condiUons which show a
disturbed state of the nutrition of
the body.
As the disease progresses, the
tumor and different organs of the
body undergo important changes.
In addition to -drinking water, as
a cause of this disease in the places
where it is of very common occur-
rence, it has been traced to physical
or mental strain, nervous diseases,
tonslUtis, appendicitis, gall-atone*,
and various other disorders.
It sometime* appears is succes-
sive generations of the same fami-
ly, though this may be only because
the successive generations are sub-
jected to the same causative Influ-
ences.
It does not appear to be a germ
disease and, inasmuch as iodine in
one of the most powerful and effi-
cient germicides we possess, It is
unlikely that it ever will tie so coa?
aldered.

Answer—These are all accumu-
lations of cells upon the outer layer
of the skin, aad all may be de-
stroyed by the suitable application
of caustic acids. But It is better to
have the application made by a
dermatologist who understands the
use of such acids; If you use them
yourself, you will probably injure
the surrounding skin and make it
unnecessarily sore.

A Toast.
Not to the girl with the dimpling
cheeks,
Not to the maid who my homage
seeks—
Not to my wife, though she's without
flaw—
This Is a toast to the mother-in-law.
She who's the butt of the oldest lest,
Told by the biped who robbed her
nest—
Here is his chance for a hoarse guf-
faw—
This is a toast to the mother-in-law.
She knows what's best when all thingi
go wrong,
She soothes your tads with some old-
time song.
When wlfey's mad, she cause* the
thaw—
This is a toast to the mother-in-law.
Your wife's her flesh; but down in
your heart,
You know that she always takes your
part.
I'm proud to call th* old lady
"Maw"—
This Is a toast to the mother-in-law.

Some men carry a lucky penny so
they won't be flat broke four days out
of seven.
A lot of men are prone to yelp when
a newspaper happens to make a mis-
statement. But we can tell you right
her* that if you were as careful what
you *ay as the newspapers are, and
were correct as often as the news-
papers are, you would be a mighty
good oitizen.
Don't laugh at Lot's wife. Just wait
till a well built girl in a tight skirt
passes you on the street.
When people owe me money I hate
to see them buying fifteen-cent drinks.
No winner wears a long face when
he happens to be short.
If a girl is wearing a ten dollar hat,
she doesn't care if you do see the hole
In her stockings.
When we use ourselves as a stand-,
ard of comparison we discover that
other people do not amount to much.
You can know a girl for ten years.
But you can't get acquainted with
her until you have been married to
her for ten days.
The reason why a woman likes to
brag about her figure being natural is
because she has done a lot of lacing
and a lot of upholstering to make the
thin places look thick and the thick
places look thin and the long places
look short and the short places look
long.
It has always seemed strange to u*
that a little wife can boss a big hus-
band when a big wife can't do It.
The Honeymoon Is over when he
quits shaving every day and she quits
hiding her store hair.
A man may be truthful about other
things. But you can't trust him when
h* describes the sise of fish and hall-
stones.
A man cant have a good time un-
less he spends a lot of money. But It
is different with a woman.
Once In a while you will find an en-
gaged man who is as henpecked as If
he was married.
No matter how slender a Princes*
may be today, the betting is that when
she Is as old as her mother she will
be as big around the beam as her
mother.
