HOW TO FIGHT

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty Of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against d.
sease. To keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the pois-
ons within, IL is best TO take a yege-
table pin every other day, made up
of May apple, aloes, .jalap and sugar
coated, TO be had at most drug stores

appears like hard cold, one should
go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot
mustard foot bath and drink cop-
onsly OF hot lemonade If pain de-
velops i'm head or back, ask the drug
gist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets.
These viii flush the bladder and Kid
news and carry off poisonous germs.
To control the pains and aches take
one Anuric tablet every two hours,
with frequent drinks of lemonade
The pneumonia appears IN most
treacherous way, when the influenza
victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed. In recover

Men claiming exemption or deferred
classification under the new draft reg
ulations have for some reason been
puzzled when they receive classifi-
cation card bear a letter and figure,
A-4 for instance.
The draft Office has been beseiged
with demands of What does this
mean?" The draft clerks up to this
time have patiently explained that IL
is the classification number which the
men claimed. "The trouble is" the
clerk of the office, said yesterday,
that the men have allowed the at
torneys to fill out their questionnaires
and. have not taken the pains to no
tice under what classification their
claims placed them. Then when they
receive their classification cards, they
are puzzled"
The following explanation of the
five classes are published in the hope
that registrants will discover from
that just what their numbers mean
and will not interfere with the work
of the draft board with numerous
questions.

NEXT YEARS WHEAT PRICE
President Fixes 1t at S2.20 for the
Minimum.

Washington, Sept. 3.-This year;
government wheat price has been
continued in effect for the 1919 crop
by President Wilson in a proclama
ton fixing $220 as the minimum
price at primary markets. Winter
wheat will be sold at this price, but
the president accompanied his pro-
clamation with statement giving
notice that before the harvest OF next
spring he will appoint commission
to report on increased cost OF farm
labor and supplies to guide him in
determining whether there shall be
an advance in price for the spring
crop.
Such an advance. ii given, the
president said, will apply only to
producers who by that time have
marketed their 1918 production.
The possibility of peace before the
middle OF 1920 was touched upon in
the presidents statement in con-
nection with risk that by guaran-
teeing wheat prices the government
might lose as much as half billion
dollars ii Europe should find its
supplies available from the southern
hemisphere.

SOME FEET.

Battle Creek, Mich, Aug. 3.-An
Alabama negro select is owner of
what are said to be the largest pair
OF feet. at Camp Custer. SO large
are his pedal extremities that a spe-
cial pair OF army shoes is now being
built" for them. When the shoes
are finished, they will be the first
he has ever worn. Asked what he
did at home in cold weather to pro-
tect his feet, he replied that he went
into the house" At Camp Custer
the negro attracted attention when
he arrived not only because he was
barefooted, but because OF the size
of his feet. The largest pair of shoes
at the headquarters depot was sew
eral sizes too small. The shoemaker
measured the negro'S ankles as IS
inches but would not even estimate
the size OF the shoes being made.

up OF boys who are parolled to the
organization from reform schools
and other institutions.
when the terms OF the BOYS ex-
pirc in these houses OF correction a
considerable number of them are
without friends and without Jobs.
We make a special effort to recruit
these lads and lead them until they
are able to walk alone" said Mr..
Robbins.
As an indication OF the efficiency
of the Boys Republic. the case Of
the "Meanest Boy of New York
State" is pointed to by officers. This
boy, whose home was in Brooklyn,
had been sentenced to be executed.
A committee from the Boys Repub-
lie presented their pleas to the gov
ernor OF New York and the boy
shortly was pardoned.
Now he is one OF the high officers
OF the organization and is in good
social standing here.
This is but one OF several similar
cases, Mr.. Robbins said.
"And right now all our bots have
but one big object;
Help whip the kaiser"

Many Youths Are Reclaimed
From V1cious Environment

Chicago, Aug. 'l-Boys who
poured molasses on the cat at the
age of two years, smashed window
panes and chewed tobacco at four
and stood before the yawning gates
of reformatories at fifteen, are
among the hundreds employed in
Var industries in and around Chica-
go and in the harvest fields OF the
northwest.
The BOYS Brotherhood Republic,
an organization devoted to the well
fare of delinquent and friendless
boys, has placed as many as thir-
teen hundred youths in Jobs in a
single day and many OF these wards
have recently entered war industries
with the vim that brings about pro-
duction records.
All officers OF the organization
which was founded in 1914 by Jack
Robbins Of Chicago, are held by boys
who are elected. the same as city OF
ficials to the offices OF mayor, city
clerk. chief OF police and prosecut-
ing attorney. There is a board OF
education. a social committee, an
athletic committee and investigating
committees.
Plans are being completed for eX-
tending the organization to all parts
OF America, one of the chief aims be-
ing to provide aid to young boys
who have been LETT in stringent cir
cumstances through older members
Of their families entering military
service. Members are assessed fiji
teen cents 4 month and those who
obtain Jobs through the society are
under pledge TO find work for at
least one other member.
Besides the boys who have taken
up work in war factories, some three
hundred lads recently have been sent
to the harvest fields" said Mr.. Rob
bins.
Salaries in munition plants are
high and many of the boys are build
ing up substantial bank accounts.
One of our members who is only II
years old has been getting $3.50
day in addition to overtime that has
sent his salary as high as 500 week.
Another young boy reports that his
straight salary is S34 week. All

ARMY Of WOMEN FOR
FARMS Of WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 5.-Mil-
waukee is the first city in the land
to have regular organized army OF
women under trained captains, ready
to be marshaled into the field at
the call OF the farmer.
The new organization, known as
Norma Nelson's Shutdown Army,
came about through the efforts OF
Norma Nelson, member of the
Evening Wisconsin staif, and has
the approval of Governor Phillip
and the University OF Wisconsin.
SiXtyfive women took an inten-
sive course in gathering iall crops
and are ready to captain and in
struct the squads. The Milwaukee
County School OF Agriculture pro.
vided lectures and practical demon
strations in the fields. Next spring
the University Extension Division
will give 4 longer agricultural course
in Milwaukee to prepare women to
plant crops. While the movement
was begun among working women,
the women of leisure are now vol
unteering in the army. Men, also
have offered to form units. 1t will
not be long until an army will be
working from sunrise to sunset, each
person giving as much time as in
dividual circumstances permit.
Norma Nelson or Mrs. Kate
Ridsdale as she is known in private
life, was for number OF years head
of the literature and current topics
department of the Young Womens
Christian Association. She passed
her early youth in Australia, In
naming the new organization she
had in mind the "Sundown' OF Aus
tralia, man who wandered into
the farm at sundown and helped
save the day by lending a hand in
shearing sheep, gathering wheat and
cutting hay. This man is pictured
as mysterious individual with sun
burned face and silent tongue, who
came out OF the nowhere and dis
appeared with the dawn
The Shutdown Army OF Milwau-
kee, an army OF women who work,
who will go forth cheerfully into the
fields at the close OF their dav to
gather the precious crops was the
way Norma Nelson expressed her
vision.
The "Sundown Army now num-
bers at least six hundred women,
ready for the field, to be paid at
the rate OF twenty cents an hour.
