Ashland Water is
Growing in Fame

Portland Telegram: In The Tele-
grams windows this week is Made
in Oregon" product that Is one Of the
very few things that is wholly home
made. 1t is Ashland lithia water,
from Oregon's famous spa" in south
ern Oregon. Bottled at the springs
under pressure Of its own gas, 1t
comes to those who seek its curative
powers, fresh and pure. According
to the claims set forth for the Ash
land product, 1t is one of the most
valuable mineral waters yet discov-
cred in America and, what Is more
to the point, 1t is the only Initiated,
borated water yet analyzed in the
world.
The Ashland lithia is naturally
highly carbonated. Not only is 1t
drunk for its medicinal qualities,
but as thirst quencher as well
Analysis of its contents Indicates
that it has a nicely balanced alkailn-
ity, and for this reason is considered
a good agency to counteract acidity
of the stomach--a condition that
leads to liberation.
The Ashland lithia Is a mild dur
etic and is much used In cases OF
kidney trouble and rheumatism.
In Portland the water is on draft
in a number of drug stores and soda
fountains, but it is distributed by
the Leland drug store, of which Les
ter Leland is proprietor.

Exemption Board
Decision Final

It is only waste Of postage, let
ter paper and time for a man whose
claim for exemption from the draft
on industrial grounds has been de-
MED by his district exemption board,
or for any of his relatives or friends,
to write to his senator or his con-
gresham, or the provost marshal
general, or the president of the Unit
ed States, trying to have the ruling
of the board reversed.
( Strange as 1t may seem, great
many such letters have been written.
They have poured in by the hundred
thousands to officials at Washington.
Some Of them have come from Ore
gon.
These letters will do no good what
soever They will not even be con-
sidered, but will be returned to the
sender. II a man having real grounds
for appeal wishes to prejudice his
case beforehand, the surest way for
him to do ii is to write to his SEN
ator or representative. or to some Of
ficial in Washington, to use his "in-
fluence" toward fixing up the exemp
,tion.
There is just one procedure where
by an appeal may be taken to the
president from the ruling Of dis
trict board. That Is through the dis
trict board itself in the manner pre-
scribed by official regulations.
It must be remembered however,
that only one class of cases can be
appealed to the president from the
district board These are cases over
which the district board has original
jurisdiction; that is to say, cases that
originate before the district board,
and not with one Of the local county
exemption boards
The only cases over which district
boards have original jurisdiction are
those involving claims for exemption
on the ground Of employment in a
necessary industry, including agri-
culture.
No claim for exemption on the
ground of dependency can be ap-
pealed to the president under any
circumstances. The decision Of the
district board in such cases, on which
it sits as an appellate board, Is final
There is no further appeal.
The following summary Of regula-
tions made by the president to gov
ern procedure in all cases appealed
TO him has been issued by the pro-
vost marshal general at Washington,
with the request that 1t be given the
fullest publicity:
"1. BY the regulations Of the pres
ident governing appeals from the ac-
tion of district boards, the claim Of
appeal must be filed with the district
board and can not be received II
sent direct to the president, the pro-
vost marshal general, members Of
congress, or to any other place than
to the district board itself.

dne spirit with which they have thrown
themselves into the service Of the coun-

Grandfather Frog Has a Try
ing Day.

Peter Rabbit so often has to run for
his life that sometimes he is a wee bit
inclined to envy some of his neighbors
because 1t seems to him that they have
an easier time than he does. But that
is largely because Peter doesn't know
all that his neighbors have to con-
tend with. He doesn't know all their
troubles and dangers. 1t is Just that
way with most of us. We envy our
neighbors when quite as likely as not
those very same nei.hhors have wor-
ries and troubles q great deal worse
than our own.
had envied Grandfather Frog. All
he has to do 10 to sit on his big green
lily-pad all day and wait for foolish
green flies and other things just as
foolish to come his way. Nothing. to
worry about. Oh. IT'S an easy life that
Grandfather Frog leads said Peter
more than once.

begun the day by climbing up the bank
OF the Smiling Pool to look for a
change Of fare; You see he likes va

shown his face over the edge of the
world. Just from pure JOY Grandfather

voice led the Smiling Pool chorus. Two
minutes later, as he was taking a long
breath for an extra loud "Chug-a-rum,-
out of the corner of his left eye he
caught a glimpse of something NOV
ing. "Chug-' said Grandfather
Frog. and without waiting to finish he
made a flying leap for the Smiling
Pool. A minute later from way out in
the middle Of the Smiling Pool he
looked back. Bobby Coon was sitting
on the bank in the very spot Grand
father Frog had been. Bobby was
grinning, but at the same time he look
ed disappointed.
That was the beginning of that day.
It made Grandfather Frog feel out of
sorts. He wouldn't dare go hunting
on that bank until he was quite posi-
tive that Bobby Coon had gone back to
the Green Forest. So he SWAN over
among the bulrushes where he could
sit on the bottom with just his head
out of water and tried to recover his
spirits. He had almost recovered them
when he discovered Longlegs the Heron
slowly and carefully stalking along
the shore. Grandfather Frog didn't
wait to say good morning. He didn't
wait at all. He made a frantic jump
