The staff of Osteopathic physicians

charitable organization.

four hundred persons were examined
and their cases diagnosed free.

II. C. Leopold of this city.

GOVERNOR SMITH MAKES
REPLY TO BRYAN SPEECH
MAKES IT HARD FOR
NOT OBSERVING LAW
Realizing that "an army fights on
its belly," the United States govern
ment is making every preparation
to properly feed the 4,000 students
who will attend the third series of
the citizens' military training camps,
which will be held in the Seventh
Corps area during August. These
camps will be held at Fort Snelling,
Minn., Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and
Fort Des Moines, Iowa.
There will be 360,000 meals pre
pared at these three camps and they
will be such as to properly nourish
students who are required to work
hard and play hard.
The fact that these students flour
ish under the government's supervis
ion is proven by final physical exam
ination of the men who attended last
year's camp. Their weight, according
to the government's examination,
was increased five pounds for each
student.
According to the government's
compilation, it will require within
the Seventh Corps area 65 tons of
beef, 65 tons of bread, 75 tons of
potatoes or other fresh vegetables,
to say nothing of the numerous
other articles required to feed 4,000
hungry boys.
Young men between 17 and 24 are
eligible to attend these camps. Four
courses will be offered, the Basic
Red, Advanced Red, White and Blue.
All training is for the purpose of
preparing the candidates to be offi
cers in the Officers' Reserve corps.
The War department has supplied
a representative of the Military
Training ('amps association in each
town, a3 well as the railroad station
agent and postmaster with full de
tails of the camps.
MaJ. Gen. George B. Duncan, com
mander of the Seventh Corps area.

ther details on application.

the Bureau of Internal Revenue of
reports that persons authorized to I

performing such duty properly and
in accordance with the law.
Section 106 of the United States
penal code provides a penalty of
$500 fine or imprisonment for one
year, or both, for "whoever, being a
public officer or other person author
ized by any law of the United States
to make or give a certificate or oth
er writing, shall knowingly make
and deliver as true such a certifi
cate or writing containing any state
ment which he knows to be false."
Such misconduct, it is declared by
the commissioner of internal Reve
nue, D. II. Blair, in addition to the
penalties prescribed by law, will be
deemed sufficient reason for request
ing the cancellation of the oath-administering
authority of any officer
guilty of the offense and in the case
of bureau officers, for dismissal from
the service.

nor Smith answered William Jen
nings Bryan's strictures on the re
peal of the Mullen-Gage state prohi
bition enforcement act.
The governor closed his statement
with the following rather sarcastic
comment on Mr. Bryan's candidacy
for public office:
"Mr Bryan speaks about my can
didacy for public office. Unlike him
self, I am not a candidate. When I
have been, in the past, I have usu
ally been selected by the people, but
in Mr. Bryan's case, a wise and dis
criminating electorate usually takes
care to see that Mr. Bryan stays at
home."
