By the Interior Department A Life Preserver for Food There is no reason why the good, pure food left over from one meal to the next should go to waste or spoil. It’s too precious to throw away and too expensive to keep it in an ordinary, . ice-eating refrigerator. When vou go to buy a refrigerator look them all over and then come to Mayer's to see the Leonard Cleanable. You'll be sur- prised to find that a Leonard with the famous one-piece seamlcss porcelain linings costs no more than an ordinary one. There’s a big front-icing, porcelain-lined Leonard, with quartered oak panels, for only $35. Lifetime Furniture Is More Than a Name Seventh Street MAYER 697 CO.

Improvement in the health of the youth of the country is one of the prime results to be sought by the summer training camps for citizens, those of the 3d Corps area of which will open July 27 and continue until August 26. The health of each man is carefully watched while in camp, with a view to correcting any physi- cal defects which might be apparent on the physical examination for en- trance. The camps for the 3d Corps area, which includes the District of Co- lumbia. Maryland, Virginia and Penn- sylvania, will be 'held at Camp Meade and Camp Holabird, Md. and Fort Monroe, Humphries and Langley Fleld, Va. War Department Statement. A statement issued by the War De- partment outlines the plan for health improvement, as follow “It is not ‘entirely with a military purpose in view that Congress has appropriated money for the maintain- ance of these camps. Studies upon a group of 2.500.000 young men between the ages of elghteen and thirty years disclosed the fact that 468 per 1,000 presented physical defects. Some 60,000 examined in Maryland presented 526 out of each 1,000 not sound. It was realized that the effect upon the social and industrial life of the na- tion would be momentous should this condition be allowed to continue and passed on to the coming generations. | Particularly was this fact important. { as the survey showed 70 per cent of the existing physical defects may have been prevented and much of the same to be arrested or corrected even now, through personal hygiene, de- velopment exercises, or minor medi- cal treatment. “A schedule of instruction has been carefully mapped and the best talent of the Army placed in charge of the camps. Four hours each week day will be devoted to drill, field ma- neuvers, setting-up exercises, range practice, use of modern signaling de- vices (including the wireless tele- phone, etc.) There will also be spec- tacular demonstrations of all arms of the service, by tanke, artillery. cav- alry, and the air service. Motion pic- tures will be utilized as a method of | instruction, showing the activities of the war zone. The afternoons will be spent in supervised athletics, and will include fleld sports, base ball, swim- | ming, tennis, etc. No Angle Overlooked. “No angle through which the youths attending may be improved mentally. physically or morally will be neglect- ed. Each individual is given a care- ful and thorough physical survey, his parents or guardian notifled by let- ter of any defect and the means of correction advised by a board of the ablest specialists of the Army medical corps. If defective he is placed in a special class for the developmental treatment, and his exercise graded ac- cording to this ability. He is fed by especially trained officers with espec- lally provided and carefully selected diet. His work and his play is super- vised by medical officers and his moral tone is looked after by red- blooded chaplains. He retires early in well ventilated and sanitary bar- backs. He i taught acquires an_ ability to look out for himself. and last of all. discipline— that wiil render him of more value to himself, his employer, and family, his boss (twenty years in the busi- ness) tells him to do. Privileges Accorded. “The government pays his railroad fare and clothes and feeds him. He is given opportunities to take side trips to points of interest within the vicinity of his camp. If he did happen ito get sick he gets the care that‘only the very best and most expensive hos- pitals could give. In the 1,487 youths at Camp Meade last summer there was not one serious case of {liness or one single accident during their stay in camp. But they did average a gain in weight of four and one-half pounds and slightly less than one inch.in chest measurement. “Many letters from grateful parents i have been received by the authorities and it is regretted that many of those who will apply must be rejected by reason of the limited number the camps will be able to care for. Ap- | plications should be made to the com- manding general, 3d Corps area, Baltimore, Md.” SEEKS DEATH WITH KNIFE Florida Man Stabs Himself at Union Station—Will Recover. Henry Cottrell. sixty-five years old. a shoemaker, who resided at Day- tona Beach, Fla., attempted suicide in the lavatory at Union station about 5:40 o'clock vesterday after- noon by stabbing himself in the left side of the throat with a shoemaker's knife. “I_had no reason to do it." the wounded man told Policeman Sontag at Casualty Hospital last night. Asked what relatives or friends he wanted notified in case of death, it is stated, Cottrell responded that he had neither friends nor relatives. Cottrell sald he reached this city yesterday morning.
