WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN ?Number Two Jimmie Collins Tells What He Saw What Military Training Does, for Boys. "Well, here we arel" exclaimed Bil lie, presenting his chum, Jimmie Col lins. "Very ?lad to see you, Mr. Collins," said Uncle Dan with a smile. "Aw," sold Billie, "Just call him Jimmie. That's the only name he knows. He's the pitcher of our base ball nine; und he's some pitcher, too. Just feel of his arm." "Well," said Uncle Dan, feeling, "That's a mighty good arm I" "Now, boys," said Uncle Dan, "what do you want to talk about?" "Well," said Jimmie, "I was down to Golesburg a few'months ago when the j boys came homo from the Mexican border. They looked fine. Everybody . was surprised to see how stroigtaVthey stood and how manly they were. The boys seemed proud to wear the uni form. I tell you their muscles were as hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett say that the training and discipline i the boys had had was exactly what ?every boy in the country ought to 'have, and that now these boys could get a better job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think that's so, Uncle Dani" ! Uncle Dan replied: "I have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. He always gives boys having had military training the preference; he says lt pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous; they know how-to carry out order?; they are quicker to think and to act than those without training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of Intensive military training would j add at leo st 20 per cent to a man's > AFTER FIVE MONTHS. The two pictures are of the same ?young man. The first was taken the day he enlisted and the second after fy ; he had had five months' military train 'lng. His home ls Jn North Carolina. teaming capacity, and that it was the i best Investment any young man could make. "Billie, if you will go up*to my room -, and bring my small handbag, I will ?let you see two photographs ot the enmo young man, showing what only flvo months of Intensive training on tho Mexican border did for him." j TOe'bag was brought. Uncle Dan, sb, owiqg . the pictures, said : "Well, hera they are. They tell their own ?tory and it ls a mighty Interesting *t one. The young man, before training, has a .discouraged look ; be has seen but little of the world. There waa very little lb his surroundings to bring h|m out. When he joined the colors and Uncle Sara took him in charge, life for him took on a new menning. He saw a chanco to do something and -ty be something. He woke up. His cap tain says he ls twice the man he was when he joined the army. This may bo ono of tho extreme coses," said Uncle Dan. "I can tell you, though, that war or no war, no one thing will do the young me of this nation so much good in GO short a time as a few /j /months of intensive military training. It fits a mon to fight his own life bat tles in the business world ns well as to defend his country and its flag. , "Nearly every civilized country gives its boys military training. It is com pulsory. It is based upon tho fact that *%? lt ls the duty of everyone to help de fend his country; and ns war ls now carried on, no ono can do much unless be ls trained. Also, the records show that tho killed and wounded . among untrained troops ls nearly three times os great as it ls with well-trained men who know how to fight and how to protect themselves. By this plan n ^?nation has trained men Jo defend her and the individual is a stronger and better mon for the training. "If ths Chamberlain Bill for Milt lory Training is passed by congress, as it ought to be, the some thing would be done for millions of other young .ty men throughout the tadd. Everybody ought to demand of his congressman abd senators tho passage of this bill." "All right, slr, exclaimed Jimmie, we ?Will see Judge Brownell, Mr. Haskett, and Professor Slocum, and got them i busy." i VIRGINIA SCHC TELLS ^ ^RELIEVE STOrv For Three or Four Years Suffered | Himself With Indigestion, Lack of Appetite, and Would Often Have Nervous, l>i/./y, Vom iting Spoils After Breakfast.

The rumor was abroad in camp that the division would sall before the work at the school was completed, and not until the men were assured that the schools would move with the divis ions were the quotas filled.
