call upon one or more local boards to
examine the questionnaires required
who stand in any OF the Just form
classes
The boards are required also to get
from each man of this class a specific
statement as to whether or not he
consents to be inducted into this kind
OF military service.
In the subsequent orders. those who
consent are to be taken first, and the
nonconsenting in the order of their
class and draft number. A special
order Of the Secretary of War is re-
quired to set this process in motion.
VIII Become Soldiers.
The regulations finally provide that
workmen SO inducted into military
service shall be mobilized in the
usual manner, and shall be sent to
such place as may be specially d.
rected by the provost marshal gen
eral.
AS to where and how the men are
to be used We have nothing to do"
said Col Gullion. These are the pro-
visions which will mobilize an indus
trial army. The men will become SOL
diers. just like other soldiers, but in
stead of drilling with guns they will
get busy with hammer and saw and

ing ships will be secured this way.

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR
AS Health BLESSING
New York Scientist Says People
Consume Too Much Energy.

New York, Dec. 2.-The sugar short
age is a blessing in disguise! Ameri-
cans eat too much sweets!
This is the verdict Of DR.. c. E. A.
Winslow, curator of the Department
Of Public Health of the American Mu-
scum Of National History.
The American people are going
to learn that most of the necessary
changes in diet are not only econo-
mics, but positive gains from the
standpoint Of hygiene. said DIR. Wins
low today. This is true in regard to
the reduction in consumption Of meat,
as well as with limitation of the
great amount Of sugar we are ac-
customed to use, and also with the
substitution, in part, Of other grains
for wheat.
Sugar Is a food which contains
a high proportion OF energy. However,
sugar gives US practically nothing but
energy, since 1t contains no protein
and none Of the mineral elements
which are so essential.
"If. therefore, we take advantage
OF the present crisis to reduce our
habitual consumption of sugar, re-
placing 1t by vegetables and fruits.
we shall not only be helping in the
great task of winning the war. but
shall be forming better habits for the
future"
