DISTRICT BOARDS
WAITING NOTICE
ntinued From First Pagel

lar Army prior to July /. According
| to Colonel Sweeney more cards CIV
ing notification of enlistment have
been received at the draft headquart-
ers since July l than prior to that
time. No credit is given for the
cards received since that time.
The draft boarC is working on the
preparation for mailing OF the no.
tees to the local boards. These
will be sent as soon as they have
been signed by the Governor. Each
notice sent will bear the number the
district will have to furnish for the
selective draft under the jurisdiction
of the local boards.
Immediately upon the, receipt OF
the official notice the local boards
will be expected to address twice
that number of men, taking them
in rotation from the beginning of the
draft list. Each notice sent to the
individual will bear the time and
place for him to appear for examina1 4
ton. The man addressed then has
seven days to file affidavits for eN-
1 emption. Lists will be posted by the
local boards showing those exempt
ed and those held for service. With
in ten days if the applicant has been
refused he may make application be-
for the appellate board from which
industrial cases which may be ap-
pealed to the President.
According to net quotas issued by
Colonel Sweeney late Saturday night
districts will furnish men as follows:
The first district of Dauphin will
send 202 men.

thay had been included in the list at
that time.
officials of Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder's office were preparing
to-day for the great number of in
quiries and requests for rulings
which they expect from the local
boards as soon as examination of
the men for the first quotas begins
Probably it will take several days
for the boards to become thoroughly
familiar with their work. After that
officials expect the examinations and
exemptions of men or their certifica-
tion to the higher boards for military
duty will proceed rapidly. Within
a week after the local boards begin
operations the district boards also
will be able to begin their work and
take up questions of Industrial eX-
emptions as rapidly as they arise.
Registranrs under the selective
draft law are not eligible for volun-
tary enlistment in the regular army
or the national guard after their
names have been posted by local
boards as for examination.
Provost Marshal-General Crowder
promulgated this ruling to-day to
make definite the status of men on
the registration lists who now may
desire to join the regulars or the
national guard. The ruling is sup
Elementary to instructions sent to
recruiting officers by Adjutant-Gen-
eral Mccain, as follows:
After registered person has
been called for military service by
his local board and directed to ap-
pear for physical examination he
ceases to be eligible for voluntary
enlistment"
The ruling by General Crowder
was necessary in order to establish
definitely the time when a registered
man was to be considered as falling
within this prohibition. General
Crowder held that posting of the
name of a registrant by the local
board at the headquarters constituted
notification to the registrant that he
was called for examination, and thus
set the period when he would be no
longer eligible for voluntary service.

In line with the patriotic policy
outlined sometime ago, members of
Harrisburg lodge. No. Sss, Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, yester-
day planned to take care of all mem
bers who have enlisted and those
who may be called to duty later. a
resolution was adopted unanimously
providing for the payment of dues,
sick and death benefits.
Through their respective leaders
railroad brotherhood organizations
some time ago planned to do every
thing possible to show their loyalty
to the country. Subordinate lodS eS
were requested to continue activity
in every branch where the govern
ment might be aided in carrying on
q successful warfare. Authority was
given all subordinate lodges to look
after the members who were called
to war duty, and take care of those
at home.

Action by members of Harrisburg
lodge members yesterday carried
with it provisions to keep in touch
with families of the members VINO

stood that similar action will be
taken by other brotherhood organi-
cations in Harrisburg and vicinity.
In the Trainmen organizations are
many members who have enlisted
and others who are awaiting a call

Little Attentions Make
Savings in Tire Bills

Occasional inspection of the treads
and tests for air pressure are sug-
sestions made by the service man.
aeer of the Fisk Rubber Company,
which. If followed, will keep tires
in better condition.
Making sure that your tires are
tracking right and that the rim lugs
are kept frightened are other points
for a motorist to give an occasional
eye to.
While some motorists find recrea-

number who are becoming familiar
with the advanta ges OF Fisk free
service, which includes just such
tire inspection in addition to the
changing of tires and tubes free OF

DIR. DIXON URGES
REGULAR HABITS
Commissioner of Health Says
That They Are Essential to
the People of State

Regular habits are one of the
things which everyone needs and
great care should be taken 10 es-
tablish and maintain them, says Dr'
Samuel C. Dixon. State Commls-
sioner of Health.
DR.. Dixon says:
Regular habits for retiring must
be considered as one OF the best
methods for securing good sleep.
The human body has wondertul
periodicity in all it's spontaneous ac-
tions. and by studying these much
of the machinery of health may oe
made TO work smoothly.
Witness one habit of waking at a
certain hour to which we have been
accustomed.
Regularity in eating is most i'm
portant for health The digestive
tract will respond at regular times
just as other habits will repeat them
selves =,
Proper food properly digested will
do much for cne's health and hap
piness.
1t is a mistake to eat too much.
We should try and enjoy our meals
by paying attention to the taste of
food. Do not gulp it down. 1t
should be masticated and tasted so
as to stimulate those nerves which
TeueCL their SENSE OA tic pllACl
nerves controlling the glands of
digestion.
When you feel indigestion after
eating a meal, note the ingredients,
and should it repeat itself, try TO
convict the guilty party and dismiss
1t from your dietary.
Don't make eating a task. but
make it a pleasure, so that the food
will digest and be assimilated and
applied to the different necessities
of the activities of life.
Youth demands a greater variety
and quantity of food than does old
age. and especially does it require
most protein and meat.
Learning what foodstuffs best SUIT
is one of the great educational tasks
man has before him, for he no
longer has the intuition OF the lower
animals. The latter seem TO inherit
a sense that directs them what Is
best for their body wants. The vast
majority of animals can dinerenuate
between poisonous and nonpoisonous
foodstuffs
