To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed-to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders, Is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The following ad-
vice of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to hundreds of Westmin-
ster readers,
Mrs. Charles Helderbridle, Carroll
St., Westminster, says: About two
gears ago I had a very bad case of
backache The sharp pains that shot
through the small of my back felt like
the thrust of knife. I was bothered
very much during the night. The
kidney secretions were unnatural and
| was in terrible shape. At last
friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills
and | got a box at Moore's Drug Store.
After using them I found great relief.
Doan's Kidney Pills are fine kidney
medicine and should be used by all
kidney sufferers"

OR WORK, SAYS
PRESIDENT 7
Men Unfit for Trenches Must
Help in Other Ways
DRAF T WILL BE HEAVY
Few Roads to be Left Open for
Eligible Persons to Escape
Service.

| Washington, June 26.-Exemptiol
regulations were whipped into fina
shape at the cabinet meeting today
They have now been formally ap
proved and President Wilson probabl,
| will promulgate them within the mex,
forty.eight hours.
with few exceptions the rules are
the same as contained in the draft
submitted to President Wilson by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
II Is understood the President elimr
mated certain exemptions as he is
known to have the belief that every
man in the nation must take his share
in the war, whether on the battle front
or not. Work within the country on
war duties will be found for many who
are unfit physically to go into the
trenches.
Information enanating from the
White House in the last two days has
led to the belief the draft will be
much heavier, eventually, than has
been suspected. Instead of merely
obtaining men for the army. many
will be drafted for other work in con.
nection with the war.
The grounds on which exemptions
will be made became known today
They follow:
Physical incapacity. Crippled per
sons, if drafted, will of course. have

service. In the first $4,000 conscripts

eye diseases or arrangements which
cannot be cured by glasses; tubercu-
losis and other chest diseases; can.
Ger, serious affection of the kidneys
or liver; varicose veins, Infectious
blood diseases; men the sole support
of families.
Employment in vital war industries.
These include ship building, munitions
making, work in gun factories, navy
yards, oil fields, coal mines, certain
duties in government departments and
certain factory work such as uniform
making, and work on other army sup
plles. Inese latter eventually VIII be
turned over largely to women and the
men will be released for army service.
The conscription act specifically pro
Viies exemption for persons of religi.
GUS beliefs opposed to war To obtain
such exemption, however a man must
have been a member of the faith in
question before March Is, 1917.
The exemptions enumerated above
cover virtually the entire field The
regulations to be issued by President
Wilson will be long and VIII go into
each exemption at length, dealing
with its various phases. explaining un,

AMERICAS AIMS CHEERED
Charles Edward Russell Addresses
Council at Petrograd

Petrograd, June 27.-Charles Ed
ward Russell, socialist and a member
of the American commission, outlined
the aims of the United States and the
reasons which brought the country
into the war before a full council of
workmen's and soldiers delegates
here Monday afternoon. Mr.. Russell
was warned in advance that he might
expect an unfriendly demonstration
on the part of the extremists among
his auditors. but for the most part his
hearers were sympathetic and often
interrupted the speaker with applause.
After the meeting Mr.. Russell was told
that he was the only foreigner who
had addressed the body who had not
been heckled.
The declaration of Mr.. Russell, that
the United States was fighting only
because the democracies of the world
were in danger and that after democ-
racy was safe the people would turn
to social reform, was cheered to the
echo.
M. Tcheidz, president of the coun-
Gil of workmens and soldiers dele
gates, in replying to the speech of Mr..
Russell said the democracy of Rus
sia was built upon the same founda
tions as that of the United States and
that Russia would carry on the war
until mutual aims were achieved.

CITY OF LENS
Canadians Tightening Ring
About French Coal Depot
CAPTURE LA COULOTTE
Teutons Cease Mining and Are Putting
Every Possible Obstruction on
Road to the City.

London, June 27-The slow but sure
coal center held by the Germans in
the department of Pas deCalais. is be-
ing completed by the Canadians. Hay-
ing, during the present week, captur-
ed important vantage points west and
southwest of Lens, fresh smash at
the German lines has been rewarded
by the occupation of the village of La
Coulotte, mile to the south.
With the British forces virtually en-
veloping Lens, except on the east, the
Germans have ceased mining coal in
the immediate vicinity. thereby seem
ingly indicating that they realize that
their tenure of the position is short
lived
A dispatch from the front says the
Germans have withdrawn their lines
on front of one and three-quarters
miles near Lens. Before doing so they
destroyed everything of military value
and converted the whole terrain into
a mass of huge mine creators and
shell holes so as to block the road to
Lens.
Although the British war office,
aside from the operations around
Lens, reports no activity by Field
Marshal Haig's men rising in import
ance above minor patrol sorties. the
Berlin war office says heavy artillery
duels are in progress at various
points.
