PRESIDENT ASKS ALL CITl-
ZENS, ESPECIALLY LAWYERS
AND DOCTORS TO AID IN
CLASSIFYING RECASTRANTS
NOT YET CALLED TO THE
COLORS.

War Department, Office Of the
Provost Marshal General.
In an appeal to all citizens, and
especially to lawyers and doctors, to
cooperative with the elective service
system in classifying all registrants
not yet called to the sslors, the
President launches new regulations
governing selection.
THE PRESIDENTS FOREWORD
TO THE SELECTIVE SER
VICE REGULATIONS.
The White House, Washington.
The task of selecting and mobil-
izing the first contingent of the Ma
tional Army is nearing completion.
The expedition and accuracy of its
accomplishment were a most graft
flying demonstration of the efficien-
cy Of our democratic institutions.
The swiftness with which the ma
chinery for it's execution had toy be
assembled, however, left room for
adjustment and improvement. New
regulations putting these improvs-
ments into effect are, therefore, be.
ing published todays There is no
change in the essential obligation of
men subject to selection. The first
draft must stand unaffected by the
provisions of the new regulations.
They can be given no retroactive ef-
feet.
The time has come for more per
feet organization of our man power.
The selective principle must be car
ried to its logical conclusion. We
must make a complete inventory Of
the qualifications Of al registrankz
in order to determine. As to each
man not already selected for duty
with the colors, the place in the mil
itary. industrial, or agricultural
ranks Of the nation il which his ex'
perience and training can best Be
made to serve tie common good.
This project involves an inquiry By
the selective boards into the ,demes'
tic,. industrial and educational, qual.
ifications Of nearly ten million men.
Members Of these have rendered
conspicuous service. The work
was done without regard to personal
convenience and under q pressure OF
Immediate necessity which imposed
great sacrifices. Yet the services
|. of men trained by the experience Of
the first draft must Of necessity be
retained and the selection boards
must provide the directing mechan'
ism for the new classification. The
thing they have done is of scarcely
one-tenth the magnitude Of the thing
that remains to be done. It is OF
great importance and to our eco
nomic interests that the classifiaa
tion be carried swiftly and accurate
| to . conclusion. An estimate of the
time necessary for the work leads to
the conclusion that it can be accom

men subject to draft are required to
submit. l ask the doctors of the
country to identify themselves with
the medical advisory boards which
are to BE constituted in the various
districts throughout the United
States for the purpose of making a
systematic physical examination Of
the registrants. It is important al
SO that police officials of every
grade and class should be informed
Of their duty under the selective ser
vice law and regulations, to search
for persons who do not respond
promptly and to serve the summons
of local and district boards. News
papers can be Of very great assist
ance in giving wide publicity to the
requirements of the law and regula-
tions and to the numbers and names
Of those who are called to present
themselves to their local boards
from day to day. Finally, / ask
that during the time hereafter to
be specified as marking the 6O-day
period of the classification all citi-
zens give attention to the task in
hand in order that the process may
proceed to conclusion with swift
ness and yet with even and consid-
crate justice to all.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
The QUESTIONABLE which is the bas-
is of the new system is collection
of questions bringing out the essen
tial facts upon which all classified
tions are made 1t is the only print
ed form which any registrant needs
to use either in making claims or
filing proof. At first sight it may
seem little formidable, but a read
ing Of the questions shows that they
are simple for any person who can
read and write Understandings to
answer.
The Presidents message lines up
the whole legal profession of the
United States as assistants of the
selective service system and as I'M
partial advisers to registrants in fill
ing out their questionaires. Under
the new regulations a place is to be
provided convenient to every local
board where registrants may go
for free advice and assistance in
making out this document. The
county judge or other judicial offr
Ger of similar court is placed at the
head of committee of lawyers in

The Cause of GOut,

(BY VALENTINE M. PIERCE, MD

(BY VALENTINE M. PIERCE, MD
According to the consensus Of opin-
ion Of most medical men and scien-
| lists, such as Garrod, Minkowski
Hans, Vogt and Reach, the cause OF
govt is due to an accumulation OF
uric acid in the blood. The same eff
feet happens in rheumatism, and pre-
ceding the. stage known as Bright
disease an auto-intoxication process
has been. going on, the liver and kid
neysf could not do the work and the
Individual suffers the consequences.
High living, the eating Of meat more
than once day, over eating, frequent
chilling Of the body-an may contri-
butte. to the poisoning. -
In. such cases the very best treat
ment is to prevent or remove the
cause. Diet and exercise if possible;

hot water with a piece. of lemon

Anuric can be obtained at almost all
drug stores and it drives the uric acid
out of the system by stimulating the
kidneys to better action. Thus many
cases OI govt, OF rheumatism or
Bright's disease may be prevented or
cured by taking this simple remedy in
time, and in the painful and serious
cases Of rheumatism and govt it in
variably relieves and often cures the
worst cases.

urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
you are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night, when
you suffer with sick headache or
dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or
you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad. ask your druggist for
Anuric.5 I have found in practice
that Anuric is more potent than lithia
and in most cases it will dissolve the
uric acid as hot water does sugar.

Palatable EconOmy-As shown in
my last article, there are certain
practical lines of food selection that
may be made by the family that will
be greatly to it's advantage. All of
his is fully set forth in Farmers Bulle
in No. sos, which is yours for he ask
ing. In addition to what then quot
ed I again give you the instruction of
the bulletin itself on how to make the
most nutritive foods agreeable and
palatable and at the same time we'll
balanced ration for the entire family.
Thinking Of foods according to the
group to which they belong or ac-
cording to the nutrient which they
supply in largest amount will help
the housekeeper to see whether in
the meals she plans she has supplied
all the different materials ne lied, es7,

p. When she has made sure that
these are present, she may safely
build up the bulk of the diet from
whatever materials from the other
groups that seem economical, whole
some and appetizing. BY means of
this grouping she will be reminded
that meals consisting Of cereal mush
(group 81 served with butter Igroup
81 and strip (group A. would not be
a complete ration and would almost
surely be lacking in body building
material because there are no foods
from either group 1 (frdits and vege-
tables) or group 2 (protein rich). 1t
La1O
lunch of kind far too frequently
served, consisting of bread and cake,
is lacking in the same way, and that

pie or an orange (group u would

fruit (group - rather than whip

suet pudding (groups 8 and s. after
a course including q generous portion
or fat. meat (groups 2 and 81.
The grouping will also help the
housekeeper who wishes to save
money or time to simplify her meals
without making them one-sided or
incomplete. For example, if she has
been serving bread, potatoes, and
rice or hominy in one meal, she will
see that one or even two of them
may be left out without emitting any
important nutrient, providing a reas-
enable quantity of the one or two re-
aiming is eaten. It will show her that
a custard which is made Of milk and
eggs, two foods from group 2, would
hardly be needed after a meal in
which liberal supply of meat had
been served, provided one ate heartily
OF all, and that a child does not need
milk at the same meal with an egg
or meat. I will suggest that baked
beans or other legumes or thick soups
made of legumes are substitutes for
meat rather than foods to be eaten
with meat
This method of planning prevents
substituting one food for another !
which has an entirely different use.

WHY ENLIST?

why should / give up a good Job
in the country and go to war for SO
cents day? rs
The above Illuminating remark was
overheard in railroad train the 9TH
er day. Apparently the fellow was
not worrying so much ABOUT the haz-
ards of war. One would infer that if
the government would pay him some
thing more than $3.50 per that he
might be earning out in the fields he
would see the thing in a quite differ
ent light. Perhaps he would recog-
nize that that is just about what his
neck is worth.
In contrast to this one sees the
flower Of our youth in colleges and
schools assuming cheerfully the haz-
ards of battle. 1t is the pathetic
side Of war, that while lsluggards and
slackers, would stop a bullet just as
we'll as anyone, it has to be the, men
of initiative and courage and decision
who are subjected to this futile waste.
There are some men so constituted
that they do not feel under obliga-
ton to their country. The pay en-
velope is their flag If an enemy
country offered them better wages.
they would, cheerfully go there--if
they could get there without harm
to their precious skins. -. ,~~-.s:
Such men may have great hulking
bodies but. the soul seems left out or
course people of this kind bring their
own peculiar punishment on them
selves. They are psychologically con-
stituted without the sentimenttof 10y

and are able to dig bitches or hoe
cropa They will not starve as long
as their hunger drives them into the
corn field. But this lack of loyalty
will not show itself merely in Sinking
their duty to their country. 1t will
also be apparent in. their relations
with their, employees and their home
community. A disloyal worker is OF
little use in any gang. If hard times

Dear Doctor: What would you ad-
wise me to do for biliousness? 1 think
my liver is somewhat affected as 1
have bilious attacks occasionally.
MRS. L. E.
(Answer) Biliousness is vague
term describing in an indefinite way
group of symptoms. 1t is probable
that there is some acute indigestion
or more or less catarrh of the stom-
ach and upper part of the bowels in
many casesNand that poisons develop
ed by the decomposed food in the
stomach and bowels are absorbed in
to the liver and derange that organ,
SO that symptoms of indigestion and
liver disturbances result Constipa-
ton is rule in such cases. TIE
whites of the eyes are apt to become
slightly yellow and the skin sallow.
Biliousness arises in some persons
from eating special articles of food as
eggs, milk and coffee. Probably the
fat Of these substances destroys. the
digestion.
The avoidance of certain articles of
diet may secure freedom from the
trouble. Measures calculated to over
come constipation are useful as such
exercise, especially horseback riding,

sport rifle shooting possesses sew
eral advantages in addition to the
general benefits to those practic-

in this fascinating sport, which
develops skill and character, en-
circles the globe.
However far one may travel.
one is sure to encounter frequent.
ly the Rife Club idea. The in.
terest is not merely local or
national, but international. Rife
shooting requires a great deal of
practice all the year round. This
develops will power, determina-

also more than almost any other
sport develops concentration, self
control and "cold nerve" it also
develops clean living and temp
