Dear Red: You wonder why 1 am staying in the sticks instead or in your big city? I cannot explain un it less it is because I like it. I like the small town and country people. Most of them are so nice; and our town is not such a "baby" except in age either, and lt is growing. You would not recognize it now. Last spring the U. S. P. H. S. sent I some of their men here to this coun ty to make a sanitary survey. You ?may not know just what that is, so I will try to tell you. They went to every home in the county and told the people how to prevent diseases and how to put their houses in a san { itary condition; and the Informa tion did not cost one cent. These people were very appreciative and re sponded beautifully to the advice. They seemed to realize fully that lt was from authority that was really icapable of advising. Did you know that typhoid fever, hookworm, dysentery, malaria and tuberculosis can all be prevented? Well, it is a simple thing to do. I believe the time will come when those diseases will be controlled. There was almost no typhoid or dys entery In our county last summer, and we are expecting less this year. Their slogan is "Build sanitary privies, and sanitate the liles." 'Mos! of us know flies carry germs and ali kinds of filth. They say typhoid one dysentery can be contracted only by taking into the mouth the wnst< thrown off from some other person'; body who is infected with thesi germs; and when we build the saul tary privy, we prevent flies carryinj filth from there lo our table and con taminnting our food. . If we bulb our wells as Uncle Sam teaches u our water ls protected. Of course w all like our windows screened, fo what is more disagreeable than t have files buzzing in the house on hot day? But if the privies an wells aro made sanitary, we are prac, tically saved from typhoid, dy sen ter and hookworm; and by writing t the United States Public Health Sei vice any larmer may get all the li formation concerning rural sanitatio -free. It costs only a few dollai to lix a privy, and in many cases th saves lives and enormous doctor bills. It seems to me that everybod would do that much for his family Our greatest fault ls procrastim tion. What would the Martini gil to have little "Billy" back? Ye j remember the little two-year-old b< with the curls who was so cute? Jr lived out there where wo had tl . '-nie. He died with dysenter There was so much of lt here th summer, and a great many childn died with lt. Or do you suppose tl Bryants would have considered woi or cost in saving Lucile when she lu I typhoid? She had such a dreadf case and suffered so much befo she died. Yet-If they had on known-she might have been he with us to-day. The Bryants have -, ideal home now; lt ls just outs! of the city. But they have clos those cesspools and put In sanlta ' privies out in that suburb. The was no typhoid there last summ? The people are praising Dr. Lun den all over this county. But I thii the boys who did the real work, a almost had to fight ror a chance tell them, and show them what do, deserve part of the credit. A way, our hats are off to Dr. L. Lumsden, and the boys of the U. P. H. S. Rural Sanitary Departme They helped to make our county o of the best tn the good old XI. 'S. And 1 sincerely hope that every fi mer will try to protect his comn nity; and that in a few years th? will be no such things to mar t glorious South as typhoid, hook wo and dysentery; and I am sure tl it will decrease tuberculosis, too I trust I have not. tired you w my enthusiastic letter on sanitati but it is such a great work and me) so much to our people that I just 1 to tell you about lt. Next time you visit me I will sh you some model country homes. As ever, your country girl, Betsy HowfS This ?

Washington, June C.-America's millions of the military age prescrib ed by Congress are registered for thc , war against Germany. In every State in the Union to-day reports from the polling places to which some ten millions young men marched yesterday to record their names were being assembled for transmission to the War Department. First Cull Will Re for 1,000,000. The next step In the government's plan will be the selection of those who actually are to bear arms from others who remain at home because of dependents or to do the work on the farm or in the factory will be Un I dertaken as soon as complete re I turns from the registration have been tabulated and surveyed at the office of the provost marshal general. The men selected, about a million as now estimated, will be called to the colors and put into training eraly In the fall. Originally lt was intend ed to call only &00.000 for the first draft army, but it is announced that nearly a million men would be need ed on the first selection. Few Disturbances. Unofficial reports of a few minor disturbances attending the registra tion received here to-day Tailed to di minish the surprise and gratlflctaion of government officials that the day passed with so little display of oppo sition. Attorney Geonrnl Gregory said his information Indicated "a ready and general response on the part of the young men of the country to the de mands of the conscription act." Willing to Serve. The War Department expects full returns to show that a large propor tion of young men exercised their prerogative and declined to claim ex emption, even though many had de pendents or disabilities. Thus they expressed a spirit of willingness to abide by the judgment of local ex emption boards, and to do their bit if the country needs them. Any who registered may volunteer until selection day for any branch of the army, navy or marine corps, and automatically pass from the ranks subject to conscription, the War De partment pointed out. Many who registered by mail fail ed to record their present addresses. Provost Marshal General Crowder re ported. Until the absentees furnish their addresses to the registrar of his home precinct, he cannot obtain a registration certificate. Registration of Alaska and Hawaii remains to he carried out hy the ter ritorial authorities, and a number of Americans abroad are expected to take the first opportunity to enroll with American embassies or consul ates for service. So many Americans In Canada applied to consuls yester day that telegraphic requests for ad ditional registration cards were sent to the State Department. CLIP THIS AND PIN ON WIFE'S DRESSER. Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel Up Corns or Calluses so They Lift Off With Fingers. Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freestone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened callus stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callus dries up and lifts right off without pain. He says freestone dries immediately and never Inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freestone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively re move every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. 'Millions of Ameri can women ?viii welcome this an nouncement since the inauguration of the high heels. If your druggist doesn't have free/one tell him to or der a small bottle for you.-Adv.

Washington, Juno ti.-The annual memorial exercises for the soldier dead, a feature of every reunion, was held to-day by tho Confederate vete rans, assisted by the Sons of Vete rans and Daughters of the Confede racy, lu the Confederate section of Arlington at the foot of the monu ment raised to the dead of the South by its women of the South. Thou sands crowded the grounds and hoard the eulogies pronounced on those who died for the Lost Cause. Flowers were strewn upon the graves, special wreaths being placed at the tomb of the unknown dead. Bishop Collins Denny, of Rich mond, Va., paid a tribute to the wo men of the South, through whoso efforts the memorial shaft was erect ed, and to the generosity of tho North in so readily granting the request for the placing of the statue In Arlington, declaring: "It is here by consent of the nation, by tht act of your former foes. These men met your petition for the warrant to honor your dead not with a challenge to a contest in a forum or in guild, not with the sting of tho taunting conqueror, but with a knightliness as honorable to them as it was generous to you." Expressing file gratitude of the South for the action of their former foes, Bishop Denny said: "The South will not stint her appreciation nor her praise." Emphasizing the spirit of fraternity and unity existing now between the two sections, Bishop Denny declared that "this monument is the seal ol' a fraternal union. Now, not simply does the blue touch the gray-the two are interwoven. Amer ica is united." The young men of to-day, he said, will remember the heroism of their fathers and stand ready to sacrifice their all for the Stars and Stripes. The roll of honor of United Con federate Veterans was read by Adjt. Cen. Wm. E. Mickle. A display of a human flag on the Washington monument grounds by 2.200 school children under the aus pices of tho Southern Society drew a large crowd of veterans. Survivors or the famous Mosby raiders held a meeting to-day. formed a permanent organization and m od to the Union Station plaza, where the veterans aro encamped. Veterans and visitors continued to come in to-day, and estimates were made placing the number of veterans in attendance at 10,000 and the num ber of visitors at 100,000, nearly double the size of the first estimates. Over 9,000 veterans were registered at the union station and more than 7,000 badges distributed. Over 4, r>00 of the old soldiers are hoing fed at each meal and they are accommo dated in shitfs of 4 5 minutes. Build ings are being rented and cots placed to take care of the overflow and many citizens are throwing open their homes.

The veterans pledged their support to President Wilson and tho country, in a resolution Introduced by Samuel W Williams, former Attorney "Gene ral of Virginia, "on the unsullied honor and word of true Confederate soldiers."

President 'Wilson was on the re viewing stand more than two hours, and In spite or a heavy shower that .came up toward the end, he stayed until the last man had passed by.

"We'll go to France or anywhere yoicWtfiit to send us!" cried one party of veterans.
