The Portland Oregonian asys: The
policy of Oregon exemption boards
with regard to men Of military age
who have dependents, as heretofore
carried out, comedies with the declara-
tion Of President Wilson on that phase
of the draft according to Adjutant
General George A. White, and will
remain unchanged.
Z. "Ata recent meeting of the district
boards a similar policy was adopted
for Oregon" the Adjutant General
commented, "and the instructions re-
ceived from the Provost Marshal Gen.
eral will not materially affect the pol
icy already in force.
"The Presidents ideas on the sub
ject, however, serve to clear up any
confusion as to the intent of the law,
and will serve to facilitate the work
of the district boards. Copies of the
telegram of instructions have been for
warded to the district boards at Port
land, Eugene and La Grande. +"
The substance of President Wilson'S
recommendation is summed up in one
paragraph of his communication to the
Provost Marshal General: eve ought,
as far as practicable. to raise this Ma
tional Army without creating the
hardships necessarily entailed when
/, the head Of family is taken, and I
hope that for the most part those ac-
cepted in the first call will be found to
be men who have not yet assumed such
relations.
Adjutant General White held con-
ference with Carl Taylor, of the 0. W.
R. q N, representing the American
Railway Association. with reference
to the routing entailed in assembling
the National Army quota.
A complete change in the schedule
for September 5, which was counter
manded by orders received Saturday,
rendered new instructions and provi-
sions necessary for the movement Of
troops on September 5 to American
Lake, but the previous schedule will
he in force for September /. when 40
per cent will be mobilized. and for the
third mobilization of 40 per cent on
October 3. Fifteen per cent will re-
main to be called when practicable.
Provisions for the moving of the
first five per cent of Oregon's quota on
September 5 are complete, and no de-
lay is anticipated. The ruling of the
War Department in this matter is held
to be of great assistance to state au-
thorities, as they are empowered to
make any adjustment of the regula-
tions that may be found necessary in
assembling the men.
The responsibility for delivering the
quota on the day specified. AS recruits
to the National Army, is placed wholly
upon Oregon authorities by this ruling.
1t is officially recognized that the pre-
scribed regulations might not be ap-
plicable in all communities and cases.

POLICY OF
DRAFT IS CHANGED.

A special to the East Oregonian
from La Grande, says: The draft
lists certified by the district ex-
emption board of eastern Oregon
to the adjutant general will be re-
vised in conformance with the re-
cent ideas as expressed by Pres
ident Wilson relative to "heads of
families. This was the announce
ment made this morning by mem
hers of the district board. The
lists they sent in to Adjutant Gen.
eral White several days ago have
been returned for revision. The
board will reconsider all dependen-
cy cases and expects to have the
revised lists complete tomorrow.
1t was stated that President Will
sons ideas would be followed.

what little 1 did eat failed to give me
nourishment. My kidneys were all de-
ranged and caused awful pains in my
back, loins, and limbs, and my sides
ached terribly. was so nervous that
any unusual noise caused me to Jump

would turn over and over in beo, was
so badly constipated that had to take
medicine every night, and often had split

THE worst part of II was the more

This was my condition when I began
taking Dreco on the recommendation of

but shortly after I started, read in the
papers the statement of a lady whose
case ntted mine exactly, so I believed in
It little stronger.
''since taking Dreco I hardly know
how to describe the good II has done me,
for II acted more like magic than med

all right, the constipation relieved, my
nerves are duieted and I can. sleep all
