THE FARMER: JULY IT, 1917.
ROYAL FAMILY NEW
 HOUSE OF WINDSOR"

London, July liking George to- day at meeting of the privy council announced the new name of the royal house and family to be "the house of Windsor"
 king George is of the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. It was re- gently decided to drop titles or names of German origin.
 The council, which was held in St. James palace, was the most tmpor- tant and largest attended since the coronation. The attendance includ- ed Premier Lloyd-George, Foreign Secretary Ba1four and other members of the cabinet, the archbishop of Canterbury, former Premier Asquith and all members of the colonial gov ernment who now are in London. The privy council unanimously endorsed King Georges announcement and the proclamation putting it into effect was published this afternoon. 4

the process. Full instructions for filling out any form of blank and specific instructions as to the matter in which each is to be used also have been provided. Registrants may ex- anime these at the quarters of local boards. but every effort has been made to prevent the filing of affi- davits or other documents that do not apply to case actually under con- sideration. Otherwise the boards would be swamped with efforts to get a decision in advance.
 It was for this reason that the regulations provided that no man could come up for examination in any way before either local or superior boards until he was actually sum- moned for military duty.
 Probably the point in the whole process which has led to the greatest misunderstanding and confusion is the system by which industrial ex- emption is to be granted. Many per sons have regaeded it as certain that men in intuition making or other strictly war industries would be ex- empted as a class. That is not the fact What is to govern the process is the importance of the individual in such an industry. If another man could take his place without pre5u- dice to the working of the plant, he will not be granted military exemp- ton.
 To make this policy effective, the superior and not the local boards were assigned the task of saying whether or not 8 man should be re- tained at his desk or bench. The bulk of exemptions will be for physical unfitness and on account of depend- ents and consideration of these causes will keep the local boards fully occupied, leaving to the more deliberatiye superior boards the en- tire handling of the much more vex- ing questions of industrial exemp- tionS.

SUPERIOR BOARDS TO HANDLE
 CLAIMS OF EXEMPTION FROM
 WORKERS IN MUNITI0N SHOPS

Officials here arc anxf0us that local boards make it clear everywhere that mo question of exemption of any registered man for any other cause than physical disability or dependent relatives can be taken up before the local boards.
 The whole matter of industrial ex- emptaons is left to the superior boards one of which has been created in each federal Judicial district.
 No individual oase where exemp- ton is desired because the register trant is engaged in an Andustry clas- sified as vital to the conduct of the war will be &a1nen arp until that indi- ton by his local board, found to be without dependents and physically fiji for military duty and certified to by ! the superior board.
 After that. application to the su- fperior board of exemption on other grounds will be admissible. The reg istrant or his employer may file neces- sary afffdavits with the superior board, seeking exemption and the case will be heard promptly.
 Another point on which there has been much doubt Is the status o1 registrants absent from their regis tration district. Scores of requests have come from men in this situa. ton. asking if they will have to re- turn to their home towns for exam tnation. They have been informed that if they afe selected for exam. tnation. each will be notified by mai by his local board and then can ap- ply to the local board for permission to undergo examination in the town where he Is located. Such action cannot be taken. however, until the regtstrant has actually been summon. led by his local board

CONGRATULATIONS, MIR. PUNCH

England and, in fact, the entire EngEsh speaking world, will stop for g, moment today in the arduous work of warfare to shake hands with MT. Punch, who has been funnier for a longer time than any other gentleman of his kind. Punch, the most famous humorous publication in the English language, was first issued on July IT, 1S41. The founders of the paper seem to have been born lucky, or maybe Punch was, for the whole edition of 5,0OO copies was sold out on the same day. They were so overjoyed that they immediately gave a reprint order for 5000 additional copies and these

Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks.

time, revealed the secret to him She
saved him from drink-rescued him
from his own depraved self, by giving
him secret remedy, the formula of
an old German chemist To discharge
his debt to her and to help other vic.
times out of the murk and mire he has
made the formula public. Any drug
gist can put it in the hands of any
suffering wife, mother, sister or daugh-
ter. Just ask the druggist for prepar-
ed Tescum powders and drop a pow
der twice day in tea, coffee, milk
or any other drink. Soon liquor does
not taste the same, the craving for it
disappears and 10, one more drinker
is saved and knows not when or why
he lost the taste for drink.
NOTE-Tescum, referred to above,
should be used only when it is desir-
able to destroy all taste for alcoholic
drinks Of every kind. The wife who
approves of drinking in moderation
and believes her husband safe should
give it only when she sees, as most do
in time, that the danger line is near.
Since this formula has been made pub

have filled it epeatedly.-Adv.

A New Treatment Given
Without the Consent or
knowledge of the Drinker.

Cleveland, Ono wife has a right
to blame her husband because he
drinks, says Druggist Brown of Cleve-
land. 1t is her fault if she lets him
drink and bring unhappiness and pow
erty to her home and she has no right
to complain. A woman can stop a
drinking husband in a few weeks for
half what he would spend on LIQUOR
SO why waste sympathy on a wife who
refuses to do it? Druggist Brown also
says the right time to stop the drink
habit is at its beginning unless you
want drink to deaden the fine sensi-
bilities of the husband you love. Be
gin with the first whiff of liquor on his
breath but do not despair if he has
gone from bad to worse until he is
rum-soaked through and through.
Druggist Brown knows the curse of
strong drink because he himself has
been victim. He was rescued from
the brink of a drunkards grave by
loving sister who, after ten years

Science and Charity

In his sermon at the rededication of the First
English Lutheran church last Sunday, the Rev.
j. W. Kapp illustrated point by referring to a
recent gathering of nationally known social ser
vice workers in Cincinnati. One of the experts
said to him.. "Well, we must go back to the
churches after ALL" -. ~-s @'"
The expert referred to the rehabilitation of a
down and OUTER He meant to say that scien-
tific analysis of the causes that brought about a
mans downfall could not bring about his reform
and re-entrance into society as useful unit. He
appreciated the need of new moral conscience
as means of reformation.
DR.. Kapp believes in social service work, but
he also knows that you cannot turn over social
wreck to a social service worker and say, "Give
me your formula for making useful citizen out
of this derelict." He knows that no social work
er possesses scientific formula that can trans
form and re-make an unfortunate man merely by
virtue of its application.
DR.. Kapps citation of the opinion of social
service worker suggest the difference between
science and charity .@
Charity in it's essence is love- 1t emanates
from the spirit.
Science is organized knowledge. 1t is an intel
lectual process pure and simple.
