 At a meeting of the local exemp- ton board Wednesday morning, action was taken for the reopeniY1g of the cases of the following men who here tofore had been given Glass 5 (G) ratings under the selective- service rules in effect at the time.

istration in it's purpose to secure a
just distribution of food and in it's
great endeavor to reduce prices.
The boarding of food in households
is not only unnecessary. as the Gov
ernment is protecting the food sup
ply of our people, but it is selfish
and is cause of high prices.
If you lived in EnSand and were
caught boarding, you would pay
your fine and lose your hoard.
The following story is taken from
an English news release:
Annie Robson. of Cargo Fleet,
England, is in Jail. She has been
sentenced to serve three months
Annie's daughter was grocer's
assistant. She had access to foods
that could be sneaked home without
the knowledge of the ministry of
food. Among other things she had
taken home. and of which her moth
er was found guilty of boarding,
were AZ pounds of sugar and small
quantities of condensed milk and
tea. Annie violated food law,
when she boarded the sugar, and
now she is being made to pay the
penalty"

Work Overnight

New York: TT is my own discov-
cry, and it takes just one night to
get such marvellous results" says Mae
Edna Wilder. when her friends ask
her about her wonderful complexion
and h the improved appearance of her
same thing if you follow my advice"
she says. II feel it my duty to tell
every girl and woman what this
wonderful prescription did for me.
Just think of it, All this change in
a single night! never tire of telling
others just what brought about such
remarkable results. Here is the iden-
tical prescription that removed every

Will make in just one application
The prescription which you can pre-
pare at your own home is as follows:
Go to any grocery and get ten cents

any drug store bottle of derwillo.
Prepare the oatmeal as directed in
every package of derwillo and apply

trained her well if he had been her
instructor in reading aloud.
She made a very lovely picture,
TOO, the man mused, his eyes rest
ing on her affectionately. The glow
OF the reading light, a little above
her, fell upon her face, casting the
shadow from her long dark lashes
across her delicately curved cheek
1t also brought out the copper giints
in her auburn hair.
The hand that held the book was
white and well shaped, the wrist
beautifully rounded. 1t must be
true, since she said it, that she and
Dora were of the same figure. yet
Dora gave one the impression of
robustness that this girls appear
ance did not convey. Could it be
the difference in the expression of
countenance and in the manner of
the two girls that accentuated the
contrast between them?
Yet, he reflected. Dora was a dear
child. He had been very glad that
Milton was engaged to her. He had
hoped that they might be as happy
as he and his wife had been during
the few years they had lived to-
gether. His eyes grew suddenly
misty when he remembered those
years. But he and his wife had had
background of deep and tenoer
love to make them happy. He hoped
Dora and Milton had such a back
ground.
A Doubt Stirs Him
Doubt on this subject had not oc-
Cured to him until lately-perhaps
not until Cynthia Long had begun
coming here regularly. Somehow
there was something about her that
reminded him of the woman whom
he had loved and lost when her only
son was little boy. Cynthia seemed
TO go deeper into the heart of things
than Dora did. And of late Dora
had spoken lightly, almost trivially
or her engagement. Did she really
her?
The last question came to him
with a shock. He had not consid-
cred the possibility of Milton's hav-
ing made a mistake in his choice.
That would be a catastrophe.
He moved nervously in his chair.
and Cynthia looked up inquiringly.
L beg your pardon" she said. Did
you speak?'
mo. child" he told her. "I did
not"
Perhaps you are tired" she sug-
gested, glancing at her watch. "It
is six o'clock already. L did not
appreciate how time had flown. 1
must be going"
Thank you for coming" he said.
II love to hear you read Peter Ib-
betson. 1t is beautiful love story.
And l am old-fashioned enough to
believe in love, you know"
SO am l, she admitted.
1T is a very sacred thing" he
added musingly. TOO sacred
thing to be taken up lightly and
handled heedlessly. 1t Is no small
offense to wound true love-"
He said the words gravely, almost
solemniy. His companion was 81
lent.
Good night" she murmured a
moment later. holding out her hand.
Good night, my dear" he said
kindly.
His thoughts seemed to be else
where, and she slipped quietly from
the house. leaving him alone.
