Hard to Escape Conscript Law.

Uncle Sans not going to take IL
chances on his first selective service
soldiers taking physical disability.
And one will have to be Il mighty
poor specimen physically not to be
called upon.
When the examining physician or
local board, or both, are in doubt as
to Il mans physical fitness, the law is
that he u be declared physically fit
and held, The men selected will not
be given the benefit of the doubt.
Even if two physicians declare him
physically unfit the local board may
set aside both opinions and hold him.
No man called can escape by being
sick i'll bed. The examiner will be sent
to his home. If convalescent, the board
will help him till he is well, then ex-
anime him.
Although your feet may be flat, you
may not nave the disease flat-foot at
all. "A broad, flat foot" said the sur
geOn-general, lis ommon and is in no
way a disability. Flat-foot disease is
entirely different, and the examiner
can easily tell it"
Tobacco heart will not exempt.
Here are u few things which might
exempt Il person who has been drafted
Lack of normal understanding.
Abrupt depressins in the skull.
Curved spine.
Bridges and crowns involving more
than half your teeth.
Pronounced goitre.
Chronic rheumatism might let o
out, as will webbed fingers, paralysis
of one or more fingers, loss or serious
mutilation of either thumb, total loss
Of any two fingers ON the same hand,
or loss of the secon or third p~halanges
of either hand.

YOUR BOY.

This is a good time to think of your
boy. If you do not look after him in
the right way, omeone will do it in
the wrong way.
Teach your boy to respect the law,
to obey his parents, to regard the rights
of all men, to honor virtue, to respect
%womanhood, and. to depend upon no
one but himself for advancement.
Teach him hat the golden rule of
life will be found in the Ten Com
mandments. They are short. They
have survived the ages. They stand
today unchanged and unchallenged.
They comprise the first great writ
ten law given by God to man. Before
these few commandments all man-made
laws fade into insignificance. Teach
them to your boy. There is danger
ahead if you do not.
The universal drift of mankind is to-
ward ~decadence. Heredity pays its
premium and also extracts its discount.
Tho son of II good father and an af-
%fcctiOnate mother, brought up i'll an at
mosphere of parental regard, will never
disgrace the family.
The boys of today are to be the men
Of tomorrow. The destinies of the
American people are to be in the hands
of their sons. If the boys are taught
respect for the law, both human and
divine, obedience to authority, manly
independence and the fear of God,
this great nation will be a noble mon
ument to mans capacity for self-gov-
eminent and self-control at Il time
when all the world is II seething caul-
dron of unrest, unreason and disbelief.
Teach your boy to rule, but first to
rule himself.-Leslie's.

A MARKETING
PROBABLE.

There are indications in the west
thai marketing of livestock will be I'M
usually heavy his fall. There are sew
eral reasons for this. Hay is not any
too plentiful and those who had an eX-
p~erience of short feed last winter do
not care to go through it again. On
the other hand, hay is going to be high
in price and feed cattle and sheep will
bring high prices. This is a combina-
ton that hardly ever fails to bring the
stockowner to market.
1t is well to remember, however, that
this is a splendid time to hold on to
cows and ewes. Cattle and sheep are
not going t. be any cheaper for some
time to come, and the breeder makes no
mistake in holding tight to the she"
stuff.-Record Stockman.

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating and when
it is confirmed after IL long lapse of
time, even if we hesitated to believe it
at first hearing, we feel secure in &C
cepting its truth now. The following
experience of a Rawlins man is con
firmed after two years:
A. Jordan, Cpl W. Cedar St, Raw
Inns, Wyo., says: Il have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for about five years.
When railrOading, the constant jar of
the engine weakened my kidneys. l
tried most every known kidney medi-
cine but Doan's Kidney Pills gave me
more lasting relief than any other.
They soon regulated my kidneys and
cured the pain in my back. Whenever

Doan's Kidney Pills sets me right"
over Two Years Later, Mr.. Jordan
said: Il can only say in addition to
my former endorsements of Doan's
Kidney Pills, that l have mad little or
no kidney trouble since using them"

ly credit that he is speaking his mind.
This country Mr.. Bedford said,
sis producing crude oil at the rate of
about 30O,O00,000 barrels Il year, but it
is using it at the rate of 1885, 10000 0
barrels a year. The amount of crude
oil in storage, all grades, May L, 1917,
was 165,6SS, 797 barrels. The country
is absorbing the entire current produc-
ton and drawing rapidly upon its re-
serve supply.
The rapid development of the auto
mobile is largely responsible for pres
ent conditions. In 1911 there were 49,
600 automobiles in s in the United
States in 1916 the number was $780,
600. Today there are more than A.
100000 ears, demanding over 100000
600 barrels of gasoline a year. Other
uses of gasoline and oil are also ex-
panding upon an enormous scale.'-

Also note that when the Kaiser start
ed the war he was 50 years and 6
months old-666 months-which again
fixes the Kaiser's number.
Having established this fact, you
will be interested in reading from the
thirteenth chapter of Revelations, the
4th, 9th and 18th verses
And they worshipped the dragon
which gave power unto the beast, who
is able to make war with him.
And there vas given unto him a

Soothsayers and prophets of evil are

and the necromancer is drawing his

The following curious augury was
uttered by a seaman on the Jersey
coast:
The Kaiser is the man who started
the war; Servia is the country where
the war was started.
There are six letters in each of these
words, and If written together and di-
vided in halves these two halves will
also spell Kaiser and "Servia."

TOLSTOY NO MUSIC LOVER
Great Russian Voiced His Aversion to
Wagner in Particular in Terms
Beyond misunderstanding.

Some journals of Leo Tolstoy that
have been published show, among other
things, that he had Il peculiar taste In
music. He did not admire Beethoven,
and he could not sit through single
act of Wagner's "Siegfried.' OF this
opera he wrote: at is stupid, unfit for
children above seven years of age, q
Punch and Judy show, pretentious,
feigned, entirely false and without any
music Whatever" In his home at Ias-
maya Polyana members of the house
hold were once in the habit of playing
necessarily on four grand pianos, rea-
son enough, one might think, why he
should dislike all music forever. Re-
calling this, he said: "All thiS-the rO-
munces, the poems, the music-was
not art, something important and nee
essary to people in general, but self
indulgence of robbers, parasites, who
have nothing in common life; rO-
mances novels about how one falls In
love diSguStingly. poetry about this or
about how one languiShes from bore
dom. And music about the same theme.
But life, all life seethes with its own
problems of food, distribution, labor,
about faith, about the relations of men.
1t Is shameful, nasty. Help me, Fa-
ther, to serve thee, by showing up this
lie!"

grasps an iron bar, placed In position
for this purpose, swings himself down
through the opening in the parapet re-
ferrcd to, pulls himself up again on the
outside, and just manages to kiss the
surface of the Blarney Stone; then, be-
Ing strong and 1.-the, he jerks his head
back in again and suddenly he Is again
sitting up on the floor of the parapet
and the others boys are letting go of
his feet. 1t wasn't so hard to do after
all, you think at least, not If you are
strong young boy who does not mind
looking down all those giddy feet to
the trees growing against the foot OF
the keep. But, doubtless you are wise
enough to content yourself with watch
ing others kiss the Blurney Stone and
with buying post card showing the
famous stone, with its Latin inscrip-
tion, "Cormuc MacCarthy Fortis Me
FicrI Fecit A. D. 144G,' which, trans.
lated in Irish, means
"Cormac Mccarthy, bould as bricks.
Made me in Fourteen FOrty-slX."
Really, you know, 1t does not pay
to 20 to the trouble of kissing the
stone, for it may even not be the
identical one which Cormac MacCarthy
the Strong knew. Many people insist
that that stone was long ago removed
from its position, that this is not the
genuine stone ut all; at any rate, 1t
seems that the stone once fell from its
place. Probably it is as well to ac--

Soldiers Chance of Life,

II ynp drafted man, believe thar
statistics tell the truth, YOU will feel az
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets of New Gork. So says Kog-
pr w. BabSOn, the eminent statis-
ticiHn, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with tn"
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ q!
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such high hopes for the licut2n
ants, sergeants and corporals, the
death rate being very much greater
among officers than among privates.
Also, the mortality Is higher among
volunteer corps than among drafted
men. Sixty men per thousand are now
being killed in the war, and about 150
men out of each thousand are
wounded.
