Of the money. For nearly two weeks
this national enthusiasm almost COM

Southern Section Goes Over Federal
Estimate. Some Arrests Made. OPP
position to Serving On Exemption
Boards to Be Probed.

Atlanta, June Federal and state
authorities are making al SAyestiga-
ton Of circular letter sai& 10 have
been sent out from Troup county to
county officials over Georgia calling
on all brother officials" to oppose ap.
pointment to the registration exemp-
ton board.
District Attorney Hooper Alexander
has taken up the matter and has writ
ten to ask the Troup county officials
if they were the authors of the cir
cular. 1t is said that while there is
no specific law against individual Of
ficials in single counties protesting,
an act Of this character might be con-
strued as conspiracy The evident OBJ.
1ect of the move was to save them
selves politically.
Reports received today by Gov. Har-
ris and District Attorney Alexander
indicate that the total registration in
Georgia will reach approximately 275,-
900, which was the figure set by the
federal government as the estimate for
this state.
In South Georgia generally the fig
ures exceeded the estimates, while in
North Georgia they are falling slightly
short.
In Fchols county, for instance, the
government estimate was 2S7, while
the registration was 473.
No reports of efforts to avoid reg
istration in this state have been re-
ceived here and the officials generally
are delighted with the result of the
days work.
Those who were unable to register
Tuesday were given an opportunity to
register Wednesday.
In one case young man at Fay
etteville, who admitted he was 23
refused pointblank to register. He was
arrested by government officials and
brought to Atlanta, where it is stated
he will be indicted and prosecuted.
| In several other cases men failed
to register purely through ignorance
Where they register, however, there
will be no prosecution.

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
TRY GRANDMOTHER'S OLD FA-
voRITE RECIPE. OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, property compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture. was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this thru
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or proven

EXEMPTION PLANS BEING
FORMED At WASHINGTON
Local Boards for Each 10000 Popu-
lation viii Pass on Questions of
Fact Only.

Washington, June $40 pass upon
claims for exemption from military
service under the conscription law, To-
cal boards will be appointed for ap-
proximately each 10000 population.
This was announced today by the pro-
vost marshal generals office in a
statement saying:
There will be a local exemption
board for approximately each $4,000
population. The power of appointing
these boards rests with the president,
but the task is so large that general
plan for their selection has been out
lined by the president
"These local boards will have to do
especially with self-executing exemp-
tons, that is, those in which exemp-
ton depends only upon the determi-
nation of facts, as, for example, wheth
er a man is federal, state or judi
cial officer, whether he is clergyman,
or whether he comes in any other way
within any classification for which ex-
emption is specifically provided in
the selective service law.
''In each federal judicial district
there will be at least one board of re-
view to which appeal may be taken
from local boards and which will have
also original jurisdiction in the ex-
clusion or discharge from the selec-
tive draft of persons engaged in in
dustry, including agriculture, found
to be necessary to the maintenance
of the military establishment Of the
effective operation of the military
forces or the maintenance of national
interest during the emergencies.
"The exemption regulations are not
in final form. When they are they
will be promulgated by the president.

AN OLD MANS STOMACH

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of IS or 80, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin. but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.
