Poor health makes you nervou*. irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so.

TRAINING PUPILS FOR CITIZENSHIP When the citizenship classes con ducted by the American Legion Aux ilary unit af Pittsburg, Kan., open for the eleventh time tills fall to prepare foreign-horn to pass their examina tions for citizenship, there will he ninety nine enrolled. Pittsburg Is in the heart of the Kansas coal district, anti the auxiliary found a fertile field for Its efforts. Among the pupils this falj \j;lJI he Included several American horn girls who married foreigners and lost their American citizenship ns a result. * These girls are helped by tin* classes and appreciate the work,Just as much as do the aliens themselves, accord ing to letters of appreciation received by the auxiliary from former pupils, For three years now the Pittsburg unit has been Conducting these classes. Three times a year, before — —y—■ each session of court for the exam ination of aliens seeking citizenship, these women have held their schools. In November, February and May, the applicants are examined, and for ten Saturday afternoons and evenings be fore t*.e tests, the classes meet. It all came about very naturally. A few years ago the Auxiliary, the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, and the Ivtidies of the Grand Army of the Republic, united to hold a special ceremony of one hour on the day of the examinations to make the cAMiferring of citizenship more im pressive. ^ While serving on tlds committee, the Auxiliary women learned of the needs of the petitioners for a school devoted to elementary civics and American history, appreciation of the American system of government and an Intensive study of the plan of gov ernment, national, state and local. They saw how these men floundered about In their attempts to answer the questions put to fhem and how woe fully ignorant many of them really were of the government from which they sought citizenship. The Ceremonies are still continued. The service consists of prayer, pa triotic songs and a short address on the duties and responsibilities of citi zenship. Committees from the soci eties in charge remain throughout the day and present to each of the suc cessful applicants a copy of the Con stitution. a small silk flag and a copy of the flag laws of Kansas. Tlie school was started. At tir^t, the classes were composed of those who were virtually sentenced to attend and whose cases were con tinued by tiie Judge only on condi tion that they would come to the school. The work lias received the hearty support of the Judges and of the bureau of naturalization, and has received official commendation from heads of j-he bureau at Washington. Because of the limited time avail able for the Instruction, a course of study covering ten lessons has btvn worked out. The work has been ex perimental' from first to last, as it is said to differ from,, Americanization work of other organizations. It Is purely educational without any wel fare or religious phases. It Is a class for busy men and wom en who nlremh haveji fair knowledge of the F.nglish language. No Knglish Is taught. Those who tu*ed Instruc tion in Knglish are sent to the night schools. > These classes d<> not take the place of tlu* night schools and do not at-- tempt t" do the work done in them. The American Legion and the Aux iliary took the lead* in creating an Americanization education council which secured the establishment of night schools in Pittsburg They made a survey, of the city.
