MANY exemption
Cases appealed
BY government
Thomas F. Bayard, as
Counsel, Asks Review Of
Local Decisions
EICHTY-NINE APPEALS
FROM DIVISION NO. z

Many military eligbles who thought
they wer exempt from service may
Ind by TONIGHT that the decision of the
local boards has been reversed by the
district board, and that they are certi-
lied 10 the adiutant general as recruits
for the national army.
Through its attorney, Thomas T. Bay
ard, the United states Government to-
day began TO appeal TO the district
board against the decisions Of the local
boards in grantinn exemptions. The
appeals were frst taken against the ac-
ti0n Of local board 80. >, and they
numbered eighly-nine. This is in no
way "a reflection on the local board, as
the government intend TO appeal all
cases that are at an doubtful, taking
the same prerogaiive that is extended
90 the registranls.
70 is believed that through these ap-
pcals which are against exemptions
granted on August g, : and 2, further
levy Of men will be obtained Go help
swell the total Of men selected 20 serve.
slackers are now being rounded up I'm
large numbers by Adiuiant General
Wickersham. whose secretary report
ed today that about thirty have al
ready been apprehended and taken to
the local boards, with whom rests the
responsibility Of determining what
shall be done with these men. In most
cases these delinquenis have already
certified 90 the district board for mill
tary service and so far the boards have
refrained from dealing harshly with
them, merely enrolling them for SER
vice.
I'm certain instances the delinquents,
after the physical examinations have
been made, are found 20 be unit TO
bear arms, and such are Immediately
discharged. As a rule. most on the de
inquents are able 10 produce evidence
20 the effect that Ignorance was the
cause Of their delinquency and that
they had no Intention Of evading the
law
One man. Nincenzo Th Pietro No. ll2S
East Fourteenth street, Who was ap-
pretended bv the adiutant general to-
dav. explained that he had not under.
stood the law. and that ignorance oI
the English language had caused his

Make it Thick, Glossy, Wavy. Iuxur. iant and Remove Dandrufs-Real
 Surprise for You.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, duf. fy. abundant and appears as soft, lus- trous and beautiful as a young girls after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
 Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff: cleanses. purifies and invig. crates the scalp. forever stopping itch. ing and falling hair.
 But what will please you most will be after a few weeks use when you will actually see new hair-fne and downy at frst-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty. soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and just try 1t. Adv.

 Many mines that have not worked for years arc preparing to resume work as soon as weather conditions permit.
 It is reported that a deal is on whereby the Terry estate will turn over control of the famous Sunnyside mine at Eureka to parties heavily in terested in the American Zinc Com pany.
 Reports from Ouray are to the ef- feet that a good production of smelt- ing grade ore will be made this sea- son from the Calliope group of claims located in the Paquin district about three miles from Ouray.
 From Silverton, the central point of San. Juan county, comes a report which states that 1917 will outstrip the preceding year-"a banner year in every respect, with the largest pro duction in the history of the camp"
 In the Telluride district the Snug gler. Tomboy and Liberty Bell mines are the big producers and ship out from three to five cars of concen- rates per day, and all of them plate the gold and send bullion to the mint.
 A report from Telluride states that the largest enterprise in a mining way at or near Ophir is the Silver Bell property. near the Ophir Loop depot This mine is developed by six levels and . big two-compartment shaft
 The Golden Anchor Mining Com. pany worked its property in Horse gulch last summer and only closed down when forced to do so by the deep snows. Some very fine copper gold ore was shipped during the late summer.
