of the board to keep these records
intact and untouched is clear from
recent instructions on this matter
''Scrupulous observation of the fore
going rules is essential in order that
the records themselves shall not be
violated and in order that the local
boards shall be protected against the
opportunities of registrants and against
serious charges to which any other
course would lend color and might give
substance. The powers of the local
boards in dealing with this situation
may be gathered from recent instruc-
lions concerning penalties attached to
mutilation. alteration or destruction of
records.
Why Records Are to Be Kept.
1.-The proper and just administration
of the war risk insurance act and of
future pension laws of the country, Will,
in many cases, depend almost eXclu-
sively upon data contained in these re-
cords which will likewise have vital
relationship to charges of desertion and

thousands of registrants.
"In addition to the foregoing It is
rom these records that the history of
his war must in good part be compiled,
md from them must also come informa-
ion of lasting value as to the man pow

DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS
Scientists and Physicians Have Pre-
pared Strong Indictment
Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis
eases of man, yet, for some unexplain-
able reason, the scientists and physi-
clans declare that a whole host OF
Outlines fatal ailments of mankind are
traceable to the beasts, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The horse is blamed for spreading
CHAMBERS, rabies, lockjaw and other dis
eases of five or more syllables. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors of rabies, parasitic worms of DIFF
ferent kinds, fieas and ticks.
The cow is the worst offender. The
list of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-curdling, until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
fists consent to the use of milk, butter
and cheese which still lead the dieti-
tians' list of nutritives.
Rats, squirrels and fieas spread the
bubonic plague. We are prepared to
believe that lice and bedbugs, flies and
mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines
for yellow fever and malaria. We are
willing to forego the luscious oyster

avoid typhoid fever.

HOW COLD AFFECTS SOUNDS
but Exact Reason is Hard
to Explain.

A close observer describes two phe-
nomena of nature not easily explained:
First, that natural sounds are very
different in the colder than In the
warmer months of the year; and, sec
ond, that waters have different tints
during the colder and warmer months.
A number of examples occur to
prove the first phenomenon. Who has
not noticed the contrast In the noise
it blows around the corner of the
house-in summer what a soft, mellow
tone it has and in winter what
harsh, rough whistle?
Then, again, let us stroll along the
banks of stream in May, June or
July, and we will observe that the wa
ter will then make a gentle, babbling
sound. while in November or winter
it will, with not great volume, make
hoarse, gurgling noise.
Still agRin, if we ramble in the
woods during late spring or early sum-
mer, we cannot but notice with what
softness and mildness the wind has
been blowing through the tops of the
trees; on the other hand. what a roar
ing it makes In cold weather.
Perhaps the trees being with or
without foliage may cause some diff
ference, but it will be observed in May,
before the leaves are out to any ex-
tent, there is even then a marked diff
ference between that time and Deem
Der. Often we have heard it along
telegraph wires during the summer
and winter, and have noted the con-
trast.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR The KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

One feature which marks tea curing
in Japan is the proverbial cleanliness
which Is characteristic of the Japanese
people. The rules of sanitation are
strictly observed by the tea growers of
Japan. Not only the health and sani-

by local tea associations, but also the
process of curing is Inspected with
great care. Japanese teas have never

Facts About PROLIFIC Fish.

The cod Is estimated to yield 1000,

eight, nine, and even nine and half
million eggs have been found in the
roe of single cod. An eel was caught
in Scotland some years ago which was
81 inches long and weighed about two
pounds. The ovary was about IL
inches long as it lay in the fish, but
when opened out 1t was nearly 80
inches in length, and it was calculated
that this contained upward of 10000
