CALL 100000 SEPT. /
And Men Will Go Immediately to Their
Csntonments.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 9.--More thar
100000 men of the selec<iye draft force.
will be called to the colors Sept ! TO &c
Immediately to their divisional training
cantonments. This will bring the
strength of the United States army on
that date up to virtually 100000 men
Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost marshal
general, dispatched the following tele-
gram to the governors of the states yes
terday:
New regulations governing mAbiliza-
tion and the certification OF men from
district boards to adjutants general will
be mailed to you on Aug. 0. In the
meantime local boards should certify to
district boards daily those who have beer
called and who have not been exempted
or discharged, either because they failed
TO file any claim or because thsir claim
has been decided adversely.
"Strict compliance with this rule is
necessary, since on Sept. the war de-
partment will call for not to exceed one
third of the quota from each state to b.
tween Sept. and Sept 5. Unless We
wish to be put in a position of not fut-
nishing men as fast as the war depart
ment is ready TO receive them, each state
should have accumulated by Sept. ]
minimum of one third of its quota MT
exempted or discharged This can only
be attained if local boards certify these
lists up with great expedition.
General Crowder also sent this add
tional caution to examining physicians of
the local boards:
Surgeon general advises that in order
to prevent the terrible rayages which re-
suit from the introduction into the army
of that dread disease of the eyes known
as trachoma, the lids of every recruit be
everted to insure the absence of this dis
ease and that any border line or suspi
cious cases be referred to an opthalmic
surgeon especially qualified in this line"
These messages were followed up by a
new ruling regarding exemptions because
Of dependents which is expected to de-
crease considerably the loss of men from
the military service for this reason.
Boards are authorized hereafter to deny
exemptions to married men whose wives
are solely dependent on them but where
The parents or other relatives are willing

be followed where any drafted mans |
employers agree to continue his salary as

A third supplemental ruling provides
hat where man has supported his de-
,endents by his own labor on land which
le owns and the boards find that the

lived from the rental, exemption for the

How TO loosen a tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

He says that a few drops Of a drug
called ~freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-

corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small

two opposed factors:
(a) 1t is desirable to get water away
from the surface as quickly as prac-

In, and flowing along, ruts.
Cb) It is desirable to keep the cross

sistent with good drainage, because
traffic distributes itself over a fiat road
surface much better than over one

level stretches Of road, because the
tendency for water to wash away the
surface by collecting in and flowing
along ruts depends largely upon the
steepness Of the grade. Also the are
with which a road is to be maintained
may have al important influence on
the amount Of crown that should be
given to the surface. 1t is evident that
a road surface maintained in a smooth
uniform condition will shed water OFF
to the side bitches with much less
crow than would be required where
ruts are allowed, to form.
