SOLDIERS WILL BE SELECTED
Read It Over and Get Your Number Each Reg
istered Man Has Serial Number by Which
He Will Be Drawn.

Last week The News published an
incomplete list of the men registered
for the seIective conscript in Putnam
county. This week we are giving the
entire list together with the serial
number Of each man registered, and
his postoffice address. When the
government makes the conscript it
will be made by number, therefore t
is essential that each man make
record of his number.

known as formalin, to a pint of
water. Similarly, the proper con-
centration of sodium salcylate may
be obtained by dissolving tea
spoonfuls of the pure chemical Ca
POWDER to pint of water.
A container made of an ord
mary, thin-walled drinking glass
is filled or partially filled with the
solution. A saucer, or small plate,
in which is placed piece of
WHITE blotting paper cut the size
of the dish, is put bottom up over
the glass. The whole is then
quickly inverted, a match placed
under the edge of the glass, and
the container is ready for use. AS
the solution dries out of the saucer
| the liquid seal at the edge Of the
glass is broken and more liquid
flows into the lower receptacle
Thus the paper is always kept
moist.

1t is definitely known that the
fly is the carrier" of the germs
of typhoid fever; it is widely be-
lieved that it is also the carrier"
of other diseases, including pos
sibly infantile paralysis.
The very presence of fly is a
signal and notification that a

Merchants Association of New
York has declared. And they back
up their statement with the first
move in the campaign-the wide
spread distribution of a special

show that the fly causes more
deaths than the enemy" Here is
something everyone may do for the
general welfare and the public
good.
Kill Flies And Save Lives
Kill at once every fly you can
find and burn his body.
Observers say that there are
many reasons to believe there will
be more flies this season than for
a number of years.
The killing of just one fly NOW
means there will be billions and
trillins less next summer.

"In 1910 the males from is 10 45

mered 21,071,076. Although approx

therefore ineligible for military SER

Through a deduction of two and

FARMERS DAUGHTER
VICTIM OF FIEND
Ethel Matthews Attacked by Farm
Hand i'm Barn-Gives
Self Up.

NILES, Mich, Feb. 81. - Miss
Ethel Matthews, 10 years old,
daughter of William Matthews, a
farmer, residing three miles east of
Niles, is i'm a critical condition at
her home as a result of an assault
made upon her by G. X. Clark, a
farm hand on the Matthews place.
The attack on the girl took place
yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
According 10 the story told by
Mrs. Matthews her daughter left the
house for the barn about 2 o'clock
I'm the afternoon TO feed some chick
ems, but failed 10 return. Becoming
alarmed, Mrs. Matthews went out TO
the barn. where she discovered the
girl lying UNCONSCIOUS in a pool of
blood. Medical aid was hurried
from Niles at a late hour last night
it was thought she might live.
IN the meantime, Clark, who has
been employed at the Matthews
farm for the past two years,
walked into the sheriff's Office at
Cassorolis and surrendered himself
declaring that he had killed a man
near Niles and that he was in the
Matthews barn. Upon being ques-
toned further. he stated that il was
Matthew's, whom he had killed and
then he said that it was the Mat
thews girl. He requested that aid
should be sent her.
Late Tuesday afternoon the girl
rallied somewhat and stated that
Clark had assaulted her, striking
her over the head with a club and
from that time she remembered no
more. A blood-stained hammer vas
found in a field adjacent to the farm
and II is thought 10 be the weapon
that Clark used. Clark is being held
at the Cassopolis Jail.
