Young Men Misrepre-
sent Ages in Rush
to Enlist in Service

Events of the past few days on the
Western battlefront in France have
proven that American youth, when
they know their cause is right, can
not be stopped. A new page was writ
ten in. American history in the past
week, and deeds accomplished which
will send a thrill of pride along the
keel of every redblooded American,
whenever deeds of valor are mention
ed.
The dashing victory of American
troops has so stirred the youth at
home that extra precautions have to
be taken byyrecruiting officers to keep
boys under the age of Is years from
getting into the service. Hundreds of
boys have been turned down during
the past week because of their imma-
trarity. The same condition exists in
all parts of the country, so much SO
In fact, that special orders in regard
to accepting men below the registra-,
ton age Of FL years have been issued
from the office of the Adjutant Cen
eral at Washington.
Misstatement of age in enlisting
constitutes enlistment, and hundreds
Of boys have been discharged from
the army recently upon application of
their parents who present proof of
the fact that they are under 10 years.
The consent of parents or guardian is
not necessary, homsver, that he fur
nish documentary evidence to the re-
cruiting that he is above the age of
18 years. Hereafter young men under
the registration age, upon application
for enlistment must prove to the sat
isfaction of the recruiting officer that
he has reached that age. A birth GER
tifcate, certificate of baptism, or
school certificate showing exact age
will be accepted. If the foregoing are
not available, affidavit of parent or
guardian with legal evidence of guard
ianship must be presented.
All previous wars in which this
country engaged proved that men
from Is to 81 years of age make the
best fighters, and best allround sold
iers. Major John D. Yost, Recruiting
Officer for the Minnesota District, is
anxious to enlist as many men under
the draft age as possible but all must
present satisfactory evidence of their
age.

WAR FILM.

When the Caughren Theatre books
a film like Gerard's "My Four Years
in Germany it is a signal for every
thinking American to buy ticket.
The film is taken from the book by
the same name which is a document of
vital Importance in the history of the
country. The picture was screened
under the direct supervision of Am
bassador Gerard himself. It brings
before the public better than any book
or speech the events leading up to the
war and to the time when the Ambas-
sador left Germany. It is portrayed
SO interestingly and wildly that it
seems more like narrative than ex-
position. The play will be in Sank
Centre tonight and tomorrow night.

pay TRIBUTE TO PRIEST.

joining communities met Sunday even
ing July ia, to bid farewell to the
Rev. FIR. Schirmers who has volunteer
ed his services as chaplain in the u.
s. army. He has been assistant to
Ri. Rev. Msgr. Richter of the st.

"MAKING OF A NURSE"

"The Making of a Nurse" a one
reel film, showing the life of a student
nurse from the time she leaves her
home until she reaches her allotted
camp hospital, will be shown in adj
dition to the regular film, Saturday
night at the Caughren. In another
part of the Herald viii be found an
article on recruiting nurses, the cam
palgn for which opens August first.
This picture is designed with a view
to furthering the work. The scenes
are laid in the best American hospital
and show the life as it really is and
not as some thing it is. Make it a
point to be present, Saturday evening.

signed a quota, representing the COM
mon labor to be drawn from among
men engaged in non-essential in
dustries in that State.
These States quotas will in turn be
distributed among localities Within
each locality, employers in non-war
work, including those who are only
partially in war work, will be asked
to distribute the local quotas from
time to time amongst themselves.
time to time among themselves.
Quotas by localities and individuals
are to be accepted as readily as they
are for Liberty Loan and Red Cross
campaigns. This plan Of labor quotas
is protection for all communities.
The object is to keep any community
rom being drained off labor, and to
use local supply, as far as possible,
for local demand. The situation, how
ever, is such that in certain cases some
men may have to be transported over
long distances.
You will note from the above out
line that this is probably the most
drastic action that the Government
has taken since putting the National
Army draft into effect. The absolute
necessity for this program can be seen
when it is realized that in Pittsburgh,
for instance, there are advertisements
calling for men to go to Detroit; while
street cars there are posters asking
men to go to Pittsburgh. This same
condition is apparent all over the
United States and in the consequent
shifting of labor great part of our
war effort is dissipated.

REPORT CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

According to authentic reports that
have been coming into the Herald Of
fee of late, Sank Centre victims Of
small pox, scarlet fever and other ma
licious diseases are not notifying their
physicians and are thus menace not
not only to their families but to their
fellow citizens. 1t is a simple matter
TO report to the health department
and it most certainly is duty. Fail
ure to do so may result in detection
and a severe penalty.

WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Professor Hao
Made Public the Results of In
vestigations He Has Made.

In numerous descriptions of the exc
perIences of man In the course Of
more or less prolonged fasting, one
meets the repeated assertion that aft
er a brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever is felt. Since it has
been well-established that the sensa-
ton of hunger is induced by certain
type of tonic and peristaltic contrac-
lions of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, it must be assumed either
that these cOntractions are abolished
as a fast proceeds or that the sensa-
tions are decidedly modified
A professor of the University of
Chicago has lately had an exceptional
opportunity to investigate these ques-
tiOns. AS the result of careful OBJ
ServatiOns on man during prolonged
Intentional starvation, he found that
during the Is days complete fast and
the subsequent eight days of absti-
nence from food with daily ingestion
Of cotton fiber, the gastric hunger con-
fractions of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
Intensity; but the subjective sensa-
tions induced by the gastric contrac-
aiOns appeared to be somewhat weak
ened and tinged with an element Of
general epigastric distress or sick
stomach.
