Claiming Exemption Contrary to
 Church Tenets and Platform.

Boston, July 16.-The Christian Sci enee board of directors announced to- day that Christian Scientist could not claim exemption from military ser vice under the draft as a conscientious objector, without misrepresenting Christian Science. It was explained that in the church tenets or platform of the Christian Science church no specific reference was made to partici- patton in war
 The announcement was contained in an analysis of the military service act, drawn up, it was stated, after the board had learned that fin a consider atp number of cases Christian Sci entists have claimed exemption in three ways" These were said to be known as practitioner, IS readers, and as con- scientious objectors.
 The question of enlistment, in the opinion of the board, seems to be so very personal and individual that 1t must be worked out by each one on the basis of his own demonstration" but the statement was given in view of le approaching draft and in respo.-se 10 many inquiries.

FOOD CONSERVATION IN liz
Continental Congress Opposed Waste
of Grain in Booze.

An interesting historical fact,
brought to public attention by Senator
Henry l.. Myers of Montana, is that the
Congress of 1777 engaged in grain pre-
servation just as the Congress of today
is doing, and on February q of that
year adopted a resolution reading:
Resolved, That it be recommended
to the several legislatures of the Unit
ed States, Immediately to pass laws
the most effectual for putting an i'm
mediate stop to the pernicious prac-
tice of distilling grain. BY which the
most extensive evils are likely to be
derived, if not quickly prevented.
Senator Myers. after dwelling upon
the wisdom and patriotism of the Con-
.inental legislators, appealed to the
senators to catch up with their ances-
tors.
