Only One In Fiue
Draftees Rejected
In Wayne COUNTY

Added proof that Americas young
men are not declining physically is
shown in the fact that only twenty and
a fraction percent Of the men examined
for military service were disqualified
Out of the ATT men examined by the
selective army board ninety-seven were
disqualified.
Figures also show that Richmond's e
young men are better equipped physic.
ally than the young men of most cities
and especially large cities. In Chi.
cago and New York the percentage
rejected for physical disability aver
ages about twenty-five per cent.
During the drafts Of the Civil war
the percentage rejected amounted to
slightly more than twenty-six percent.
And the examinations under the
present selective service law were
more rigid than those conducted in
Civil war times, records show.

Blaine and Roy Williams, neighbors
and friends, are not relatives, but
were called by consecutive numbers,
came together Thursday and were ex-
amined together.
Several men who had been rejected
because of a minor ailment will be
notified, in day or two, that the
board has re-considered and accepted
them. The doctors got together Thurs
day morning and decided that they
had mis-read the instructions under
which they had turned the men down.
Cracked Skull Did II.
After listening to the lists Of ills
which some Of the men claimed, the
doctors grew cynical. One boy claim
ed a cracked skull which gave him
sick headaches, rheumatism, stomach
trouble and Bright's disease. He was
given a clean bill Of health in the phys.
ical examination.
A red. white and blue tie worn by
a man who had been married some
three months and claimed exemption
because of a dependent wife, attracted
the attention of the board. He was
advised to go away and adopt some
less patriotic clothes until he was
ready to fight.
Two men, who had left without ask.
ing for exemption Wednesday and
Tuesday, were at the door when head
quarters opened Thursday.

PARENTS May
Be CALLED ON
To SUPPORT
DEPENDENTS
New Ruling of Provost Mar
shall General Indicates
Strict Orders May Be Laid
Down for Discharges.
ARE FILED

Richmond's conscription machinery
lessened its speed Friday, following
the completion of the examining of
men in the first call for military SER
vice. to allow those men who have
fled exemption or discharge to hle
ahidavits supporting their claims.
Ten days are allowed for fling Of
supporting amdavits after which time
the selective army board will take:
each one up separately and impartial-
ly decide the claims.
Married Men Can Go
Under a ruling Of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, who is the head Of
the selective army machinery, married
men, who themselves or their wives,
have parents "able. ready and will
ing to support the wife and children
will not be exempted.
The order reads:
THE general basis for ruling
upon such questions should be
the spirit and purpose of the act
in providing for such discharge
wherever the terms of the act
and of the regulations are not In
themselves conclusive.
THE act authorized the presi-
dent to discharge wherever the
parties drafted are in a status
with respect to persons dependent
upon them for support which rem
ders their exclusion or discharge
advisable.
Support Aimed At
"Such dependency ordinarily
renders their exclusion or dis
charge advisable because since
the drafted person loses his civil
income and thus loses his sup
port, the wife is left without sup
port and this lack of support is
the effect which the act aims to
avoid.
But wherever such effect does
not in fact follow and the wife is
not left without reasonably ade-
quate support but will receive
such support from other sources
there is no real dependency rem
dering discharge advisable.
The following comes within this
ruling:
/. Where the parents Of eth
er the wife of husband are able
ready and willing to provide for
the wife (and children) during
the husbands absence.
Where Property 10 Owned.
2. Where the wife owns land or
property and the income is suffi-
cient to properly support her land
children) during the absence OF
the husband.
3. When some arrangement Is
made whereby the man receives
part OF his salary from his employ
er and the amount. together with
his pay as a soldier, is sufficient to
support the wife and children"
Under the ruling married men whose
parents or wife's parents have sufftc-,
lent means to support the wife during (:
the husbands absence, the husband
will not be exempted.
May Appeal Case.
However he may appeal the case to
the district board which is located in

MRS. BROWN HAS
GAINED 20 POUNDS
Was Confined to Her Bed and Chair
for Over Two Years and Thought
She Would Not Live Long.

"You can tell them that it helped
my wife, too; and of all the people
that have made statements about get
ting benefit from Tanlac, believe We
have the most cause to be thankful
for she thought she wouldn't be living
long and the doctor didn't give me
any encouragement.
This remarkable statement was
made by. Mr.. j. L. Brown, a vel
known carpenter Of College Park, At
lanta. Mr.. Brown added very serious
ly that he felt unable to express ir
words his great appreciation for what
Tanlac had done for his home and the
mother of his eight children, and Their
went on to say:
"For over two years she has had to
live practically on nothing but milk
being bothered as she was with a bad
stomach trouble that kept dragging
her down until she was hardly more
than a living skeleton. She didn't
seem to get any strengthening rest at
night and simply had no, energy for
anything. In fact, she spent about all
her time between her bed and the
chair and didn't feel like taking an in
terest in anything.
"She had mighty bad breaking out
on her ankles, too, and all the way up
to her knees and these places would
then swell up terribly. Her color was
bad, too, and it just looked like moth
ing on earth could ever do her any
good or liven her up.
"Well, some strange things happen
in this world, and the change in her is
certainly one of them, for it was a
short time ago that she was as bad off
as she's been at all, and now she's a
we'll woman and / am sure happy
man! She has taken just three bottles
of Tanlac and weighs 120 pounds
that is, she's gained 20 pounds since
she began taking it,
"My wife now eats heartily, sleeps
good and feels as strong as she did
years ago. She is now doing all her
1wn homework and cooking and says
she will never be able to say enough
about this Tanlac. We don't mind
who you tell about this, for it's moth
ng but the plain, simple truth-and
hat don't hurt anybody"
