Class Exemption
Will Be Barred
In Draft Rules
War Department Will Put
Full Power in Hands
of Local Boards

Washington, June 27.-Rigid ad-
herence to the policy laid down in the
National Army selective draft law, Of
placing the question OF exemptions in
the hands of local boards, is expected
to characterize the exemption regula-
tions TO be made public in a few days
by the War Department.
1t is understood that the regulations
Will map out only the general pro-
cedure Of the boards. the personnel OF
which already has been announced. 1t
is regarded as certain that no specific
class exemptions will be provided
for. and that each man will be ap-
praised on his individual occupation
and physical capacity when his name is
called and he Is summoned before the
local boards.
As a matter of course, no man with
serious physical defects will be called
upon for military service. Crippled or
defective persons were noted at the
time of registration, and it is possible
they already have been dropped from
the rolls. The judgment of the civilian
doctors who are attached TO local eX-
emption boards as to the ability of any
individual to bear the hardships of a
soldiers life will be a determining
factor
Married men will not be exempted as
a class. In each case the object of the
board will be TO determine whether the
dependency of wife, children or other
relatives upon any man is so complete
as to warrant his rejection as soldier.
Probably the boards will DC fur
nished with suggestions as to occ lpa-
tional exemption. The government can
outline generally the professions or
trades which must be maintained az
full strength behind the fighting lines.
The Importance of the individual IN
that profession or trade. however. can
only be determined by the local board.
No inkling has been given as to the
part TO be assigned 10 those VINO are
to be partly exempted because of re-
ligious belief. They are to be freed
of the necessity of firing upon enemy
soldiers, and. therefore, from regular
military service, but the act contem-
plates that they can serve in some
non-combatant capacity behind the
lines, and holds them liable for such
service.
In such cases the question of physi-
cal qualifications is wholly different,
and there are many fine points that
will have to be decided in that con-
noction as the facts present them
solves

housekeepers of the district, interest
them in the conservation Of food, IN the
use of substitute foods, and especially
in the saving of waste that now exists
in many parts of the city.
This committee. in conjunction with
the Board of Education and other IN
situations, can conduct a campaign OF
education in conjunction with the
Mayors Food Supply Committee. 1t

matter of food in such districts as
these needs arise, and 1t can learn

ance TO the city, the state and the ma

even more severe next fall and winter.

mittee | have named will be put into
practical shape. The chairman of the
committee Of forty-six organizers Will
be Miss May E. Van Arsdale, Of Teach
ers College
The Mayor said that he hoped women
would be selected for the forty-six or
ganizers, and that they, in turn. would
select women as chairmen and mem
bers of their committees, because
the question of the use of food was
largely a home problem, and the women
of the city could find in the proposed
organization a splendid opportunity 70
render a real public service.
The Mayor has called a meeting at
his Office for this afternoon of repre-
sentatives of the various neighborhood
associations and other organizations IN
the city who would naturally be inter
ested in this matter. From these vari-
Gus organizations he intends to appoint
an advisory committee to assist the eX
ecutive committee in its big task.

that the proposed joint commission
would not leave the trade without rep

The coal men, in appointing Com

so without giving the producers every
opportunity TO present their side Of the

SETTING TREES IN ORCHARD

In setting trees for an orchard dig
holes about two feet wide and one and
one-half feet deep. Place the sod by it.
self, the darker cOlOred soil in anOth-
er pile, and the bottom in another.
Cover the roots of the tree with the
darker colored soil and stamp it down
as tight as possible. When the soil
is all in, invert the sod over the dirt,
and dig some more outside loan for a
top covering. This acts as a mulch to
conserve the vegetable matter. The
roots will be deep and get Il good start.
Cut back the roots before planting so
as to leave them 10 or II inches long,
no longer. The new roots start out
from the place cut.
Put some kind of vegetable matter.
manure, if possible, on the top of the
ground, or straw or grass of some
kind, to hold the moisture until the
trees get Il start. After that NOW the
grass in the orchard every year and
put it around the trees, keeping about
one foot from the tree the first year,
and foot farther off each succeeding
year for five or six years. The amount
of vegetable matter needed depends
upon the soil conditions. A poor piece
of ground, of course, will need more
mulch, a strong soil well filled with
humus less. The idea is to build up
the soil to make reservoir conditions,
and that is done by filling it with
humus. 1t does not require very much
vegetable matter after once in good
conditions.

RID HOME OF PEST
PRACTICAL INFORMATION ON
ERADICATION OF BEDBUGS.
Simple Preparations, Applied With
Diligence, Will Do the Work, Ac-
cording to Bulletin of the Bu-
reau of Entomology.

Those who are troubled by bedbugs
will find practical information as to
how to deal effectively with these pests
ineHarm~ Bulletin 754, "Bedbugs,"
recently published by the department.
In this bulletin G. l.. Marlatt of the
bureau of entomology makes clear the
habits of these insects which have a
bearing on their eradication, and sug
gests a number of simple household
measures, as well as more radical
methods, of getting rid of them. The
author calls attention: especially to
the fact that these insects will migrate
from an unOccupied to an inhabited
house and points out that the fact that
they ordinarily hide in the daytime
makes it necessary to apply the insec-
ticideS in cracks in walls and floor and
crevices under wall paper, where the
insects ordinarily are concealed and lay
their eggs. Information as to the
ability of bedbugs to withstand cold
and to go without food for long peri
DDS should be especially useful to those
intending to move into houses long I'M
tenanted.
Of the simpler remedies the ento-
molOgist says that benZine, kerosene
or other lighter petroleum oils intro,
duced into creyices by means of a
brush or syringe are perhaps the most
efficient. The bulletin also gives di-
rections for fumigatiOn with sulphur OF
other chemicals, which will be found
economical and effective in cases OF
general infeStatiOn.
| Those who have been bitten will FIND
applications of peroxide of hydrogen
useful in allaying irritation. Tincture
of iodine, in it's ordinary or double
strength, is also good counter-irritant
for use in cases of fieas, mosquitoes
bedbugs, or other insect bites. Iodine
however, should be used with caution
; on the tender skin of small childen an(
on those who are affected with or dis
posed to ecZemic disorders.
The bulletin will be supplied free BY
the department as long as the suppl!
/ lasts.

two eggs, one-fourth cupful sugar, one
eighth teaSpOonful salt.
Mix eggs as for soft custard. Strain
into custard cups and steam until firm
over hot water which is boiling gently.
Another way to cook this custard is
as follows: Strain into custard cups
and place in a pan of warm water.
Bake in moderate oven until the
custard is firm. To test a steamed or
baked custard, slip a knife blade to
the bottom of the cup in the center of
the custard and draw without turn
ing. If the knife is not coated with a
milky substance the custard is firm all
the way through and has cooked
enough. Crate the nutmeg over the
surface of the custard and cool before

the leaves and the injury shows at
once by the discoloration of the upper
side.
A damaged leaf shows the irregular
yellowing, but may still hang on to the
vine. If badly damaged it loses it's
ability to work, turns brown and falls.
In severe infestations vines may be
nearly or completely defoliated and in
case of weaker vines death may result
to the infested plants. OF course, this
lesSening of the leaf surface reduces
the vigor of the plant, stunts the
growth of the canes, diminishes the
crop in amount and makes for poorer
quality of fruit.
