All-day Celebration Planned
 with Whole City Turned Over to Men Who Depart Sept. ), Committee Decide

A dinner of ninety covers, given by the women of Phoenix to the first thirty men of this country to join the new national army. will be the feature of the patriotic dem onstration for the local Sammies on September s.
 The plan is to give the boys a farewell feast that will convince them the women of Maricopa are with them heart and soul. To make it strictly the soldiers own affair, they are to be permitted to choose their own guests, each one being limited to two invitations. Since it is to be given on the evening of their departure, it will be largely a family event it is thought, with parents, brothers, sisters and sweet hearts gathered around the flower tables at the WOmans club.
 Yesterday a group of well known women met at the chamber of com merce to outline the crOWning event of the eVentful day. The meeting was called by Dr. John Bennett. chairman Of the committee in charge of the patriotic program. Since the selected soldiers must report to the exemption board twelve hours before leaving Phoenix, they should be given the freedom of the city, according to the thousands who are interested in the Sammies
 Dr. Bennett stated that tentative plans had been made for their en- tertainment. The Y. NJ. C. A, with it's big pool, tennis courts and other amusements, will offer diversions and it is understood that the motion pie ture playhouse will De asked to eX- tend cOuIteSies 10 the youth of the nation who are to wage war for democracy. Dr. Bennett said that the band had offered it's services and that automobiles would be at the disposal of the soldier guests. While en route for their training camp they will be presented with boxes from home with cigarettes postcards magazines. candies and other little novelties to assure them that they are in the thoughts of those at home A hOmecOoked dinner before their departure was suggested by Dr. Den nett as the cone thing the lads W0u q enjoy that had not yet been con- sidered
 The suggestion met with instant ap proVal and the menu arranged inn mediately so that every woman may have ample time to notify the chair man, Mrs Sims Ely, if she cares to make a donation. It is believed that everything will be contributed, and those who are not in a position to furnish food and who wish to do their bit, may send money contribut- tions to the chamber of commerce. This will be forwarded to Mrs. Ely, who will make the necessary purchase. The dinner pard will read

HARD SHEDDING FOR THOSE WHO

Of Fifty-Five Cases Before
 Appeal Board Yesterday
 Only Four Granted; Four Temporary Discharges

After a recess of some days, the dis trict board No. l, resumed it's work yesterday morning at it's offices in the Fleming building. Much work was at hand having accumulated during the time the board was adjourned but the board was fresh, and before night, had accomplished much.
 The full membership was present, with Capt. J. L. B. Alexander in the chair. After the reading of the min utes, the board decided to hold public hearings every day at 10 o'clock in the morning. and again at o'clock in the afternoon while the board is in ses- sion At that time all hearings will be made.
 Cases Considered
 The first case to come before the board board was the exemption claim of Errol F. Brown, of Maricopa coun- ty on the grounds of being engaged in an agricultural enterprise at Gilbert. His claim was denied, but a tempor- ary discharge was granted him, to ter minate on November l, 1917.
 The secretary then read a cOmmuni- cation from George Dent of Navajo county whose claim for exemption had heretofore been denied by the district board Dent asked for additional time to adjust his affairs. but the board an swered that he had until September ? to appeal to the president of the United States and that they could not consider his claim.
 The claim of Tranquilina Pidilla, Apache county. on account of sheep raising. was denied.
 The claim of Rulon LeSueuer, Apache county. on account of farming. denied
 The claim of Lloyd Greer. Apache county. on account of farming was considered. but because of too meager information the secretary was in structed to wire the county agent for additional information. Laid on table awaiting reply.

A MEXICAN FIELD Observation-Disclosures

trenches it will have taken the best from the
French and the best from the British and favored
the whole with the best of its own. This is not
statement made on authority. 1t is a legitimate
deduction from what every side.
There is a divergence, for example, between the
American and the Frenchman in the matter of
using rifles The Frenchman does not bother about
the sights of his piece. He never worries about
his target In battle he looses off for genreal re-
suits and in rifle practice at the butts man fires
his entire string before the marker calls shot.
That means the accuracy of fire is rendered i'm
possible.
Whats the use?" the French ask. THE chief
value of rifle is that bayonet can be attached
to it."
The American does not understand that His
men have always shot, and shot well.
Rifles cannot be used in the trenches" the
French instructors say. And in repelling an at
tack they are of no use except to make noise

We are from Missouri in this. 1t is not i'm

but mailman would do that-to say 1t is
conceivable that our men will be cooler under fire
and in repelling attack than the Frenchman. 1t is
a difference of national temperament. The Chas-

HOW TO LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS.
BY DR.. Frank Crane

OF course there is recipe for living hundred
years. What we mean, in sober and careful Ian
guage. is how to keep the body machine in such
good condition that barring accidents, shall
round out our appointed term of life in health and
vigor.
To accomplish this there is nothing new to sug-
gest, either in nostrum health program; but
need to be reminded of those established rules that
the result of universal experience and of the
application of intelligence. to life Hence, observe
the following:
Eat intelligently. Learn the nutritfve values of
foods. Eat what you need. Let the diet be sim
pie. Avoid safety; quit eating before you are
stated. Chew we'll.
Drink only pure water. Water containing GER
tain salts and minerals may be beneficial; ask your
physician. Drink aplenty. Water is mans great
est friend in nature.
Keep clean Battle regularly.
Sweat often. If you cannot afford Turkish
baths get bath cabinet of your own make one,
and perspire freely at least once a week Thorough
perspiration is the salvation of the kidneys.
Take regularly no alcohol in any form. There
is no use in opening this subject again. The regu-
lar drinker of alcohol beverages is foolish person.
He is purchasing a pleasant glow at the expense
of inviting hundred disorders
Be out of doors as much you Fresh
air, sunshine, and water natures three cure
alls. Sleep with your windows open summer and
winter
rule so routined that the muscles and organs of
the body are not tremendously developed. There
are many books and teachers of exercise; but the
principles few, and usually the same in all
systems. 1t is regular, not occasional and violent
exercise that counts.
Avoid constipation, of the most prolific
sources of bodily arrangement. Take the matter
up seriously with your physician.
Avoid excuses of any kind. Be temperate in
all things.
Maintaining the body in a state of efficiency is
largely a matter of thought training This truth
is being emphasized great deal nowadays, and
rightly 49,
Don't worry. 1t is mostly a matter of. habit.
Don't get into the way of it, Worry is the prime
ife-shortener
Don't indulge in hate. Don't allow yourself to
entertain grudge against any human being What's
the use? Forget it.
Don't give way to regrets for the past, nor to
premOnitions of evil for re future.
Keep the mind cheerful. Play and laugh as
much you
Have some part Of the worlds work to do.
Feel that you are earning your salt Be interested
in some constructive and useful activity.
Work at your life by the day and not BY the
job. Be satisfied with each days results.
Marry; have children; the most wholesome Glass
of people in the world grandfathers and grand
mothers. =
Believe in the almightiness of goodness and
shun any success that involves a troubled con-
science.
These probably sound like preachy platitudes
to YOU they are but it is necessary keep repeat
ing them because We constantly overlooking
or discountng them; need to be reminded that
they are the best We yet know about the art of
living a hundred years.
