TO GOVERN EXEMPTIONS
 FROM SELECTIVE DRAFT
Regulations Are Being Worked Out by Provost Marshal General Growder.

ne9ulatlonS RTe BeIn9 Worked Out by Provost Marshall General Growder.
 Washington, May 2S.-Regulations to govern exemptions under the selective draft are being worked out by Provost arshal-General Crowder with a num- Der of prominent lawyers. Although the plans are not yet complete it is probable that the jury wheel system will be followed in selecting those who are to go into the first army of 5O0- coo and not until the names have been drawn and each registration district has provided the number apportioned to it will exemptions be considered AS each individual drawn reports, his claims for exemption will be passed upon and if he as exempted another will be drawn to fill the vacancy
 The law provides for local exemp- ton boards in each country and for each SO.G0G in city populations Boards of review also will be established on the basis of one to each federal iu- dfciaI district The boards will be composed of civilians Secretary Baker said today the process of select ingthem had not been worked out.
 General Crowder said that only con- fusion would result from the reported intention of men above the fixed age to register on June 5.
 This is mistaken patriotism" he said, and registrars will be instructed to accept cards only from men between the ages of 21 and 30 inclusive''

and maintain both bodily vigor and
mental energy. And by right eating
| do not mean freak foods-I mean
just good everyday foods properly
combined. In fact, to eat correctly,
or follow course of Corrective Eat
ing it is not at all necessary to upset
your table.
Eugene Christian, the well-known
food specialist, has proved the eff
cacy of Corrective Eating in thou
sands of cases. Entirely without the
use of drugs or medicines, men and
women suffering from almost every
conceivable non-organic ailment have
been returned to health and vigor
by following his simple directions in
regard to their eating.
In a recent talk with Eugene
Christian he told me of several in
teresting cases which had recently
come under his care. One was
woman prominent in Woman Suf-
frage work in New York City. She
had come to him with stomach and
intestinal fermentation and gas,
auto-intoxication, mental depression
and anemia, vertigo, and threatened
heart failure. She was very much
overweight when she commenced,
but reduced her weight thirty
seven pounds during the treatment.
He showed me a letter she had
written him afterward, in which
she said:
81 am sure you will be gratifed to
hear that | continue to improve-it
seems sometimes that | must have
been made over, and it is difficult
to remember that less than eight
months ago | was feeble old
woman depending upon daily doses
of strychnia for what little strength
l had. When l came under your
treatment, weighed one hundred and
ninety-seven pounds, was hardly able
to walk, and was subject to most seri-
Gus heart attacks upon the slightest ex-
ertion. And now | am SO well, so strong,
that my family and friends maintain that it
is a miracle which has restored me to
strength and vigor of life-certainly in my
case the cure is most remarkable because Of
my sixtyseven years"
Another was well-known minister who
had been out of his pulpit for twenty-five
months, unable to preach or conduct the
simplest service He was about twenty-five
pounds under weight, anemic, nervous. had
superaciditv and could not assimilate his
food; and his heart action was very irregu-
lar. He had gradually declined for two
years although treated by one of New York's

.HE presidents of life insur-
ance companies with perhaps

anCe on the lives OF Americans, re-
Gently met in convention at the
Hotel Astor in New York, and in
their discussion brought out some of
the reasons why the average Ameri-
can dies at about forty-three years
of age.
According to the press reports, Mr..
E. E. Rittenhouse, Commissioner of
Public Service and Conservatio of
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, said: "The average American
would not think of mixing bricks or
scrap iron or gravel with the fuel for
his furnace, yet he feeds his stomach
with all sorts of tasty junk, much of
which cannot be fully digested
he is seriously over-straining his
heart, arteries, kidneys, nerves and
digestion, as the rapidly increasing
death rate shows"
This statement from such an au-
thoritative source-from man who
makes it his business to study both
vital statistics and the causes behind
them-sounds warning which
should be needed by every man and
woman.
Indeed, there is no longer doubt
among intelligent people that many
of the foods and combinations of
foods which we are most accustomed
to eat are the direct cause of much
sickness.
Yet how few of us heed the early
warnings of illness, such as acid
stomach, fermentation, or constipa-
ton. | venture to say that nine out
of ten persons suffer to a greater or
less extent from one or more of these
three symptoms, which are in many
cases the forerunners of more serious
sickness.
Stomach medicines and laxatives
are plentiful, but of what avail are
they? The only thing that stom-
ach medicine can do is to temporarily
neutralize the extra amount of acid
in the stomach, because it is stronger
than the acid. And this Injuries the
stomach, usually bringing the acid
back worse than it was before. A
laxative is just as bad, if not little
worse; not only is its effect tempo
rary, but all laxatives are habit
forming and are required in ever
increasing doses.
If neglected, simple case of acid
stomach may lead in a short time to
fermentation, with gas, and constipa-
ton. The fermenting food forms
poisons which are absorbed into the
blood, causing auto-intoxication,
nervousness, mental depression, and
host of other unpleasant symptoms.
Is it any wonder that the officers
of large insurance companies sound
warning against the evils of wrong
eating?
But just as wrong eating is the
cause of 90 per cent. of common i'll
nesses, SO will correct eating create

AS his glance fell on the headlines of the
account, this young man gave a percepti-
BILE start, after which his blue eyes set
tied on the printed column below and
perused it with the closest attention.
That done, he let the paper drop to the
bar at which he stood, and, as he con-
tnued for time to stare vacantly before
him, one hand rose involuntarily and re-
moved his hat from his head, while with
the fingers of the other he began nervously
combing his mop of wavy blond hair.
Suddenly, an accidental jostle by new
arrival recalling him from his abstraction,
he hastily replaced his hat and pulled it
well down over his very sunburned fore
head. After quick look around he
caught up his half empty glass and drained
it. Then, leaving his newspaper on the
bar, he went out to the street, frownng
heavily as he advanced with quick,
nervous strides.
HIS face still wore a frown when he ar
rived little later at the Pan-American
Trust Company. There, pausing, he gave
an odd upward jerk of one shoulder,
whereby he seemed to bring himself to
order; for his brow cleared and his grim
mouth relaxed. His countenance was
serene enough when he presently showed
it at the window of the paying teller.
"Will you change that, please?" he re-
quested courteously, and with marked
English intonation, as he passed in a
hundred-dollar bill.
The teller, Baker took the money with
mechanical glance of inquiry.
"How do you want it?' he asked
"Oh, any way at all, replied the other
indifferently; and as indifferently put
question moment later when the teller
was selecting his change.
"This is the bank where that Mexican
deposited the twenty thousand dollars,
isn't it?" he inquired.
At the words the muscles of Bakers
high, pale forehead contracted little,
and he inclined his head slightly without
looking up.
The young man at the window leaned
nearer.
(which of you men was it that told?"
Then, as if Bakers expression were
answer enough: "Oh-it was you!" And
after another silence:
How could you do it-put man in
such hole?"
The teller flushed.
at was my duty, wasn't it," he
returned, with touch of resentment.
"Duty?' the stranger repeated in sur
prise-pronouncing the word "jooty,"
after the English fashion. "Why? You
don't know that he is guilty do your
Bakers response was to shove his
inquisitors change brusquely out to
him.
The latter ignored it.. He bent his head
still nearer the grilled window-guard, and
his eyes fixed the teller's sternly. An
angry red darkened his face. He clenched
the hand that lay on the marble ledge.
Then, in an instant before the words he
seemed about to speak were out, one
shoulder shot up and, drawing back, he
took up his money and deliberately
counted it. And as he was putting it in
his pocket he contented himself with
saying in his former careless manner:

leading physicians. Three months after he
placed himself under Eugene Christians
care, he preached the first sermon he had
been able to preach in nearly two years.
This was over three years ago.
He has gained about twenty-five pounds
in weight and since has not missed day
from his arduous clerical work. He has
steadily gained in strength and vitality and
is to-day healthy and athletic.
But. Eugene Christians own case is per-
haps the most interesting of all, for it
shows how he discovered the beginnings of
the methods which he has since pursued so
successfully with others-methods of select
ing and proportioning ones meals so as to
overcome conditions brought about by
wrong eating.
Twenty years ago he was at deaths door;
for several years previously he had suffered
all the agonies of acute stomach and in
testinal troubles, until his doctors-among
them some OF the most noted specialists in
the country-gave him up to die. As last
resort, he commenced to study the food
question himself AS result of what he
learned, he succeeded in literally eating his
aoay back to health without drugs or medi-
cines of any kind and in remarkably short
space of time.
Eugene Christian is to-day nearly sixty
years old-or shall l say young? For he
has more vitality, more ginger, more phys
ical endurance than most youngsters in
their teens. During the past fifteen years
he has not had even so much as cold.
Since the remarkable success of Eugene
Christian has become known, people have
sought his advice in such rapidly increasing
numbers that he has found it necessary to
put his methods in printed FORM He has
written series of "a Little Lessons which
tell you exactly what to eat for health,
strength and efficiency.
These lessons contain actual menus for
breakfast, luncheon, and dinner, including
corrective menus for almost every condition
of health and sickness from infancy to old
age, for all occupations, climates, and sea-
sons
With these lessons at hand it is just as
though you were in personal contact with
this great food specialist, because every
point is so thoroughly covered and so clearly
explained that you can scarcely think of
a question which isn't answered. You can
start eating the very things that will help
to produce the increased physical and men,
tai energy which you are seeking the day
you receive the lessons And you are quite
likely to feel some results after your very
first balanced meal.
