REGISTRATIONS TO
 CLOSE WEDNESDAY
Last Call Made for Voluntary Service for Army

Any male between the ages of 31 and 31 years who did not register for selecttve conscription on June 5 and who has not yet registered will not be prosecuted in case he does register before Thursday. according to telegram received by Governor Holcomb from Provost Marrhal Gen oral Crowder. Wednesday is the last day upon which registration can be made. General Crowder's state- mont follows:
 'Advices received here from some of the states seem to indicate . mis- understanding as to the policy to be pursued in respect of persons who for any reason did not register them selves on June fifth. Paragraph for ty, registration regulations, makes 1t the duty of registration boards to register such persons and no instruc- ton modifying this duty have ena- mated from this once. So much of section five of the law as defers until conviction the registration of persons who have wilfully failed to present themelves for registration or submit thereto is construed as deferring only the compulsory registration of per- sons who continue to refuse to regis ctr. Unregistered persons may at any time voluntarily register at the regis traitor board in their homo county and city. Persons who have this far failed to register shall be sought out and arrested by federal, state. county or municipal police and shall forth- with be given an opportunity to reg ister. All arrests made by state, county and municipal police shall be reported to the nearest representative of the federal department of jus tice. Those whose failure to regis ter is due to inattention or to lack of information or of understanding shall be released as soon as they have reg istered and those whose failure to register has been due to recalcitrance or wilful dsiobedience of the law shall be bound over for trial by the federal authorities.

To Preuent Old Age
Coming Too Soon!

r "Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as
filters for such products. If we wish to
prevent old age coming too soon and m
crease our chances for a long life, we should
drink plenty of pure water and axe q
little Anuric," says the world-famed Dr.
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backache, ire
quent or scanty urine. rheumatic pains
here or there, or that constant tired,
worn-out feeling, the simple way to over
come these disorders is merely to obtain
a little Anuric from your nearest drug
gist and you will quickly notice the grand
results. You will find it many times
more potent than lithia, and that 1t
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

ECONOMIC RULE is UNBRoKEN
The More Money, the Higher the
Prices, Has Been the Law Since
Earliest Days of World.

When the Indians of New England
found plenty of seashells out of which
to make their money called wampum,
the more of it they would give for a
blanket, basket, kettle, pair of mecca
sins or feather bonnet, says Girard in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
The political economy of King Phil
lips race and time still prevails. Ev-
cry day this year the rest of the world
has dumped a cool 100000 of gold
upon the United States. Now we have
nearly 1000. 900, 900 more gold than
we had when the war began.
If we had cheap wheat. shoes, over
coats, vegetables, or coal after hav-
ing added nearly so per cent to our
gold hoard, we should be Obliged TO
a up all those fine spun and dusty
political economy books we were
taught in school.
But the books stand, and rightly so,
for the very paper they are printed on
has been boosted upward by this colos-
sal wave of gold. When this I'M
matched crest of yellow metal breaks
and recedes after the war-well, we
shall follow King Phillip and his wam-
pun and pay a smaller amount of it

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or calIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You ~corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at nee and soon the corr or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of f~reezone costs very
little at any drug store. but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or calus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any ~freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.
