responsible for ascertaining whether or
not they are drawn in the big human
lottery. Hence the war department to-
dav asked that in the next few weeks
they be on the alert, follow the news
paper announcements of the draft re-
quirements and when in doubt ask their
local exemption boards.
The provost marshal general is pre-
pairing a boiled down announcement of
draft requirements, so that there can
be no mistaking the duty of the $780,
900 registrants,
In brief this is what each registrant
is required to do:
Go to your exemption board and find
out what your red ink serial number is
as soon as your board has finished num-
herring the cards for the big lottery.
Watch for the drawing in Washing
ton. Then find out whether you were
drawn and the order in which you must
appear.
After that learn when you must ap-
pear for physical examination.
In case of doubt as to any point, ask
your local board about it.
These are the first steps the regis
trant must watch, but there win be 9th
ers and as every man is taxed with the
responsibility of knowing requirements,
it behooves the youth of America to
keep close tabs on newspapers from
now on.
The first set of instructions win be
given officially to the press in the next
few days.

These days the face needs special

Discolored, freckled and roughened Gu

ounce of mercnlized wax, obtainable at
any drug store, is sufficient to CONT

is used like cold cream, allowed to re-
main on over night, and washed off in
the morning.
AS the skin tends to expand in warm
weather, causing wrinkles to form, a
good astringent lotion should be used.

Stale Treasurer Kay
Home From Attending
Mystic Shrine Convention

Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer, who
has been absent from the city for some
time as delegate from Al Kader tenn
Pile of the Mystic Shrine to the con-
vention in Minenapslis, Minnesota, re-
turned yesterday to Salem after having
a very enjoyable trip through the east.
He reports that the Shriner conven-
tion this year. consisted mostly of a
business session and was cut to two
days from the usual four on account
of fhe war situation. The number of
delegates was also reduced great deal,
and the big events scheduled for the
entertainment Of the visitors were can
celled.
On account of the war, the Shriners
voted to refund the sum of $4,000 to
cover certain expenses entailed in pre-
pairing for receiving them. They also
voted $23, 1000 for the Red Cross.
Mr.. Kay states that the next con-
vention will lie held in Atlantic City,
and that it is probable Portland may
land the session in 1919.
Mrs. Kay accompanied her husband
on the trip and after the sessions they
visited Fort Smelling, which is located
near Minneapolis, where there are 5000
regular soldiers who have just return
ed from the border. Many permanent
buildings are being built to house the
new national army, he says.
On theig return to Oregon, Mr., and
Mrs. Kay visited the Yellowstone Ma
tional park, with which he was very
much pleased He says that the crop
outlook is better in the west than in the
east and is much more advanced.
He noted much more military spirit
in evidence in the east than in the
west.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

Tests made by the United States
Government showed that at the then
prevailing prices 10 cents worth of
cheese contained l.o ounces of proteid
against IL ounces of proteid in aver
age beef; l.3 ounces in porterhouse
steak; 1.6 ounces in dried beef; l.3
ounces in eggs, and l.2 ounces in milk.
The fuel value of 10 cents worth of
cheese was 886 Galleries against 467 of
average beef, 444 porterhouse steak.
3l5 dried beef, and 1913 of milk. Since
cheese is ready to be eaten when it
comes from the market, the saving
in fuel and other cooking expense
also should be taken into considera-
ton. The ingenious housewife can
improvise many dishes in which
cheese plays an important part. -
The United States Government has
the record of a man who lived for
months upon a diet of bread, fruit,
and cheese and who remained in good
health during that time. Bread, fruit,
and cheese make ration that is we'll

to the palatable combinations that can
be worked out.
Cottage cheese may be made an
important meat substitute. In every
pound of this food there is about
one-hfth of pound of protein, nearly
all of which is digestible, while meats
usually contain less protein and have
a larger amount of waste matter. One
