GET NEW KIDNEYS!

The kidneys are the most over
worked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work Of
filtering out and throwing off the
poisOns developed in the system,
things begin TO happen.
One of the first warnings is pain
or stiffness in the lower part of the
back; highly colored urine; loss OF
appetite; indigestion; irritation. or
even stone in the bladder. These
symptoms indicate a condition that
may lead up to that dreaded and
fatal malady. Bright's disease. for
which there is said to be no cure.
You can almost certainly find
immediate relief in GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM OIL Capsules. For more
than 200 years this famous prepar-
alton has been an unfailing remedy
for all kidney, bladder and urinary
troubles. Get II at any drug store.
and IL it does not give you almost
immediate relief, your money will
be refunded Be sure you get the
GOLD MEDAL brand. None other
genuine. In boxes. three sizes.

According TO AdJutant General
Dickson of Illinois, exemption
boards are to estimate that 10 per
cent of the first registration num-
Der will be listed on June 5. This
will mean that more than four
hundred Rock Island young men
will enroll under the selectivc
draft act, as about four thausand
two hundred registered in the city
on the first registration day.
The laws applying to the regis
tration day this year are the same
that governed the one last year.
Men who fail to register are listed
as draft evaders and are subject
to immediate induction into mill
tary service or one year in prison,
or both.
Only men who have passed their
21st birthday since last June are
required to register. The law does
not apply to those who have al
ready registered.

FARMERS TO BE DRAFTED
Are Needed for Chittenden COunty's
Next Quota for Camp Devens

Farmers Of Chittenden county will be
selected to-day by the local board of
exemption to fill out the quota of III
registrants who are to go to Camp Dev-
ems on June 2S. Decision to select the
tillers Of the soil was arrived at only
when 1t became apparent that the quota
could not be filled otherwise.
The work Of going through the list of
remaining registrants in class one not
having deferred classification was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon at Ave o'clock.
The work netted the exemption board 107
draftees. In this class at the commence
ment Of the enforcement of the draft
law there were upwards of 1900 regis
trants.
OF the farmers, there are approximately
100 who have deferred classification, but
how many Of these will pass muster under
the new rule is uncertain. Out Of this
100 probably will be selected the alter
mates also, who will be summoned to
put in an appearance on the morning Of
