Draft Exemptions
Restricted by New
Washington Ruling
Only Cases Of Those Not
Physically Examined
To Be Considered

Practically all the drafted men now
in the National Army who have ap-
pealed from the rulings Of the local
boards and whose cases are now pend
ing must serve.
This ruling. according TO Roger b.
Wood. local director of the draft. is
the substance OF telegram received
last night from l.. II. Crowder, provost
marshal general. Mr. Wood said there
are about 1000 such appeals now be-
fore him.
Most Claimants Slackers
"In 80 per cent OF these appeals
said Mr.. Wood. careful examination
showed the men 70 be slackers, fei7
lows who wanted to dodge their duty.
The bulk OF the remaining per cent
are ignorant enemy aliens who did not
Tile the proper papers. Only. 1rac-
ton of per cent of the registrants
whose claims were denied by the local
boards deserve exemption. Practically
the only men whose cases may DC
heard from now on are men who have
not yet gone before their local boards
for physical examination, and who I'M
mediately went into the army when
found"
General Crowder's telegram. in part,
follows:
"The unrestricted reopening Of cases
of men not vet indicted into military
service Is delaying the raising OF the
army. and the reopening Of cases so
indicted is interfering with its train
ing. The following rules viii there
fore govern the reopening OF the cases
mentioned in that ruling Paragraph
NJ Of Compiled Rulings No. ~ in the
future:
Ceases Of men indicted into mil
itary service by local board shall not
be reopened after such induction. eN-
cept as provided in Paragraph > hereof
This paragraph refers TO men who
have failed to appear before their loca!
boards for a physical examination and
who. on being found, are Immediately
put in the service.)
Gases of men already indicted into
the service heretofore reopened ano
now in process Of rehesring shall DC
forthwith closed and the prior dlspo
sition of the cases adhered TO"
Men Can Appeal
Men now in the army who feel tha'
they were improperly certified may ap
neal TO their commanding officers. ms
sppeal must be made on or before NO
vember 20. The commanding Officer
then may request the adjutant genera
OF the state to investigate the facts, and
the latter il ordered TO call forthwith
upon the proper local board for full
report of the case. All such appeal;
must be filed with the adjutant genera
of the state before November 70. Al
fled after that date will not be con-
sidered.
The closing paragraph of Genera
Crowder's telegram reads:
There is urgent necessity TO brng
The first draft 10 a close as promptly as
possible. Reports from mobilization
camps indicate that there is consider
able discrepancy between the percent
age of the quotas thus far called and
the number Of men who have actually
been furnished TO the camps. Please
address yourself to this situation a.
the earliest possible moment to make
sure that every board has furnished tc
its mobilization camp the percentage
of its quota thus far called.

Letters from the People
eiIIIIIIHHInIIIIIIIIIIIInIIIIIIIIIHIuIIIIIIIIIn

To the Editor:
| Some weeks ago when the war frs:
started each school district in the state
was organized into food conserva-
ton district with a committee in
charge whose purpose it was to advo-
cate the production of the maximum
amount Of food for the nation in this
war crisis. Turnout Benton county
generally the farmers seemed to think
they were doing all they could do and
practically no effort was made to fur
Their the aims for which the commit
tees were appointed. It was suggest
ed that the farmers devote special at
tention to live stock, procuring pigs,
especially brood sows, and raising
their bull calves, but the results lead
me to believe that practical patriotism
is dead in the lower valley. We will
attend lectures, ice cream benefits for
the Red Cross and flag raisings, but
when we are asked to sacrifice little
time and convenience, we say, "What's
the use?"
So far as / have been able to find,
there are only three farmers today
making the practice of raising the
smaller breeds of bull calves, and even
they are ridiculed by some of their
neighbors. AS for hogs, there were
practically none in the valley six
months ago. One breeder who had a
few choice ones kept them over, even
when the propects of making money
out of them looked mighty slim, and
recently held sale of choice regis
tered stock. The result was that after
selling few at from 1920 to 259o be-
low the market price for hogs to the
butcher, he withdrew in disgust and
yet there are no hogs in the valley.
We farmers are not living up to the
part the nation has right to expect
# US.
On every side we see the sacrifices
hat others are making, and many of
IS are even claiming exemption from
military service on the grounds that
We are farmers, but when it comes 9
making a personal sacrifice when !
Q one is there to applaud, we are fall
ng down hard, and think it is up to a
ne food committees of the different
lstricts to get together, take census $
the cattle and hog raisers and the $
respective hog raisers in their dis b
lets and work with each one per-
onally in an effort to induce him to a
his utmost to stay the present mad t
1sh to unload cattle and hogs on ac-
'unt of the high price of feed. It a
not great deal to ask, and 1 be- d
eve each one Of us should show at d
asst this much practical patriotism. Il

CARE OF CHILDREN.

When children have a slight cold do
edies and cough sirups, but give them
something simple and soothing and at
the same time harmless. A teaspoonful
of olive oil in the morning is very
good and also a teaspoonful of glycer-
in and honey mixed together could be
given two or three times day. 1t re-
lieves a cough.
1t must be remembered that a good
physic is necessary and there is moth
ing better than castor oil.
Do not trifle with serious cold; con-
suit doctor.
A cold always weakens the child
system, SO be careful of the diet at this
time: they should be well nourished.
but at the same time it is most essen
tial that what is given them is light
and easily digested.
Children generally begin to eat in
about year, and several years of eX
perience have taught the writer that it
indeed pays to be careful in feeding
them.
Milk should form the principal part
of the diet for the first two or three
wears Fried food and heavy suppers
are extremely bad. Soft fresh bread is
very indigestible. Stale bread. that is,
bread a day or two old, is much more
easily digested.
Under no consideration allow chill
dren to have tea or coffee. There is
absolutely no nourishment in them and
they are very harmful. They inJure
the nerves. affect the heart and impair
the digestion. They also ruin the COM
plexion, giving the child a sickly sal
low look instead of a nice rosy color
Growing children require good, nour-
ishing food, but it is wrong to allow
them to be constantly eating between
meals especially sweets, as it injuries
the digestive organs and also spoils
the appetite. When the time comes
for their regular meals. they do not
feel hungry: consequently they do not
get the proper food and are not suffi-
GENTLY nourished.
Something that they really should
have between meals is plenty of cold
water to drink. 1t is very good and
really necessary for the system.
If children were given nice. fresh
fruit, particularly apples (peeled of
course) during the day instead Of cheap
candy there would be less sickness and
fewer doctors bills to pay.
