Dope House Burned

The plant of the DUPONT COM
pany at Barksdale was the scene
of a snappy fire on Monday when
the dope" house was burned.
The building is of metal con-
struction and the frame still
stands, but the interior of the
building was badly Quilted. The
materials used in the dope"
house are highly combustible
and the fire was a hard one to
fight. The building will be re-
built at once.

One Hundred and Eight Called for
Examination
Must Appear on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of Next Week Before
Exemption Board.

The second call of drafted
men in Bayfield, County was
made out the first of this week
by the County Exemption Board
and notices have gone forward
to 180 additional men. Sixty
are cited to appear for examin-
alton on Monday, sixty on Tues
day and sixty on Wednesday.
The examination of the first
one hundred and thirty-four
called was completed on We'd
nesday evening but on account
of the high exemption it is not
believed that the county quote
of sixty-seven men can be filled
on the first call and therefore
the second call has gone forward.
Of the first 134 examined less
that 25 went through without
claiming any exemption, the re-
mainder either claiming depen-
dents of occupational eXemp-
tions. The number of physically
disabled men was exceptionally
low, only very small proportion
failing to pass the physical ex-
animation.
The examinations of the
eligibles was conducted in an
orderly manner and almost every
man cited to appear, with the ex-
ception of an alien residing at
Cable, appeared before the
Board. There was no ohie stions
to the draft rules evidenced by
any of those called.
The following men being re-
gistered from the city of Wash

next week as follows:

There is an old saying that

so, nevertheless they have a
great deal of respect for one

EXAMINE men FOR
CONSCRIPT ARMY.
First Call Passed Upon by Board
This Week
But Few Fail to Appear for Examinations.
Names Will be Sent to War
Department.

The task of selecting Bayfield,
County's quote of sixty-seven
men for the conscript army was
begun on Monday morning of
this week by the County ex-
Femption board composed of
Sheriff Andy Murray, County
Clerk Nels M. Oscar, County
Physician P. G. Frey, A. w. Mac
Leod, j. w. Dady of Bayfield,,
Peter ]. Savage of Iron River,
and G. H. Werden of Mason.
In all a total of one hundred
and thirty-four men were called
for examination on the first three
days of the week and were ex-
amined by the examining
physicians Drs. Spears and Frey
and passed by the exemption
lboard.
There were very few cases of
those summoned to appear, fail
ing to put in their appearance
before the board. The names of
such as were notified to appear
and who failed to report to the
board within ten days after the
posting of the notice, will be for
warded to Washington and action
will be taken to bring the men to
trial for desertion.
The war department has given
notice that men summoned to
appear for service in the draft
army, and who fail to appear
before the exemption board with
in ten days after posting of the
notice, will be treated as desert
ers in time of war and dealt with
accordingly. This is a serious
offense.
Very few of those examined
this week by the Drs. for the
exemption board failed to pass
the examination, but a large per-
centage either claimed exemp-
tions for dependents or occupa-
tional exemptions.
The local board has made a
ruling to the effect that all per-
sons claiming aged parents or
brothers or sisters under twelve
years of age as reasons for ex-
emption, must appear before the
board within ten days and prove
by witnesses that the persons
claimed as exemptions are wholly
dependent for support.
Those claiming occupational
exemption must appear before
the district board with thei
claims, the local board only fur
nishes the man with the blanks
with which appeal is made.
The local board had no trouble
of any kind with those appearing
for examinations and the ex-
aminations were carried out in a
very orderly manner.
On account of the high claim
for exemption in Bayfield, county
an additional number have been
called for next week.
The following is a summary of
the work of the Board for the
last three days.

HEALTH TALKS
Help to Good Digestion.
By'Dr. Il. r. Daniels.
Publisher of Hygienist, Denver, Colorado

\ Good digestion is the foundation
not only Of real health, but of physi-
cal and mental efficiency as well.
One of the most important essentials
to good digestion is properly cooked
and properly combined foods, well
masticated and eaten 10 amounts not
to exceed the digestive capacity. In
addition to these essentials there are
several helps which everyone can put
into practice with lut little effort.
While many people, for a time at
least, have good digestion without
any care as to the diet, everyone can
be benefited by proper food hygiene.
It.is important that the food be
masticated thoroughly. We need to
chew our food, not only to separate it
into small particles easily dissolved
by the digestive fluids, but the act of
chewing sets up the manufacture of
the digestive secretions In every part
Of the food canal, and the more we
chew the more these indispensable
digestive fluids will be manufactured
We should avoid drinking with our
meals; not only does it favor imper.
feet masticatlon of the food, but
water taken during digestion dilutes
the digestive juices, weakens their
action and delays the digestive pro-
cess. We should wait for two hours
after the lighter meals and for three
hours after the hearty meals before
drinking water.
By resting before and after the
meals, especially when we have been
working hard, our digestive power is
decidedly increased. Lying down or
sitting down for five or ten minutes
preceding and following the meals
equalizes the circulation, enables the
body to call the blood away from the
brain or muscles, to the stomach, to
digest the food. In order that we
may eat the most when we can rest
the most, we should have our dinners
at night rather than at noon. 1t is
not a good plan to "work off"
hearty meal; it is much better to
sleep it off. Digestion takes place
best when the body is at rest or
asleep. Eating light lunch at noon
will enable us to do more and better
work in the afternoon, and to eat a
heavy dinner at night which can be
digested while we sleep.
