EXEMPTION CLAIMS HIGH IN

TARY RNLtsTMENTS

Kentucky Is shown up In the re-
port OF the Provost Marshal General
to the War Department on the opcr-
alton OF the first draft as the State
In which there was the highest per-
centage OF claims for exemption or
discharge. This Is not believed to be
such disgrace M would appear on
tho face Of the report, however, be-
cause thousands OF Kentucklans had
enlisted In the army prior to regis
tratlon day and many OF those left
were married then or others with de-
penedents who were unable TO take
their place In the ranks.
Kentuckys percentage of icxemp-
ton claims was something like SO.
Indlana's percentage of claims was
about AZ. Montana, with 35 per cent,
stood at the top Of the list. In the
while country about so per cent. filed
exemption claims and Of the claims
filed 7S per cent. were granted In
Kentucky some "a per cent. of claims
filed were granted and in Indiana 9
little over so.
The Provost Marshal Generals
figures show that Kentucky's actual
voluntary enlistments in all branches
was something over so per cent. of
the States gross draft quota, but she
was only credited with 1886 per cent
because this many were in the army |
alone.
The cost Of the draft per man in
Kentucky was $456. The per capt.
ia cost Of recruiting has been more
than 500. In Oklahoma the cost Of
the draft was only S157 per man;
in Delaware, $40.
Only about IL per cent of mar
ried men in the draft in Kentucky
were accepted and something like
l6 per cent. in Indiana. Mississippi
had the high percentage in this re-
gard, sending 35 per cent, of mar
ried men. Wisconsin had the law
mark with about 6 per cent of mar
lied men accepted.
An average of one man in three
called for service was accepted
throughout the country. Kentucky's
alto was 96 out of every 100, and In

Acid-Sto111ach BRINGS
On Premature
. Old Age

few years ago the famous scientist, Prof.
Metchnikoff. declared that people generally be-
come decrepit-feebe-aged years and years be-
fore their time-that person ought to live we'll
over hundred years. He devoted long life to
scientific experiments and proved that the toxic
polsons which form in the intestines and cause
Standardization is self posoning-had more
to do with shortening life than anything else
Clean out these poisons and there is reason
why human beings should not live hale hearty,
strong and vigorous hundred years or more.
Such is the doctrine as taught by the noted Metch
nikoff.
What causes these toxic poisons. you ask
where do they come from-how do they get into
the intestinal tract?
Science gives us answer in word--super-
acidity-wfich is merely the medical name for
what is more commonly known acid-stomach.
Too much acid in the stomach interferes with
proper digestion OF food Instead, it ferments
and it is this mass of partially digested sour,
fermenting food passing through the intestines
that creates those toxic poisons-poisons that are
absorbed into the blood causing it to become thin,
pale and sluggish-poisons that carried into
every part OF the system-poisons that

and women feeble, haggard and old looking be-
fore their time when by right they should be
strong. healthy. in the prime OF life
Common sense tells that in order to stop
those toxic poisons forming in the intestnes, you
must rid the stomach of excess acid. The food
you eat must be properly digested and assimilat-
ed. and not allowed to enter the intestnes sour,
fermented mass, there to become breeding place
for countless millions of deadly germs-for these
germs are in reality what make the poisons.
way has been found for removing the excess
acid from the stomach so quickly naturally
ily that it seems almost unbelievable. The re-
moval of the excess acid is done by absorbent
remedy-much the same as you take up blot of
ink with blooting paper
This modern remedy is called EATONIC, in the
form of compressed tablets that you eat like
bit of candy. 1t is prepared to absorb the harm

y. T.. A. Washington bureau, 112S-1134
Munsey Bldg.
Washington, Nov 26.-Seventy thou
sand girls in Washington are to be
thrown out Of work Oh or before the
proclamation Of peace.
Hundreds Of thousands Of girls and
women in offices, shops, factories and
|Nnills all over the country fear the same
fate.
Vultures Of vice are already hover
ing here in Washington and else
where with claws ready to seize as
many Of these girls and women as they
can.
What is to be done to save these
girls who were drafted from nearly
every state in the union for war work
in Washington?
They came to the capital as stem
ographers, filing and mailing clerks
and the like.
Their wages were none too high.
Room rent has been exorbitant, Shy
lOckian.
RAPACIOUs LANDLORDS ROBBED
THESE GIRLS.lA"
The girls have saved little. They
haven't had chance to save. Some
of them haven't enough money to pay
their railroad fare to their former
homes. Not the majority Of them have
parents able to help them in this ex-
tremity.
Some of these girls must find other
jobs to earn a living. Many will try
to 90 to New York and other cities.
Many are trembling with fear and
do not know what to do.
The lowering vice cadets are leerinS
and reckoning and pointing to the
easier way"
When these girls were recruited tU,
help win the war they and the coun-
try were told they would be tenderly
cared for and protected to the last.
But the landlords have tleecel them.
And vice panders are setting their
slares.
The emergency is here 1t is hourly
growing more acute.
What is TO be done!
GOVERNMENT OWES HELP TO
THESE WORKERS.
The government ought to pay the
way Of these girls to their former
homes. 1t owes this much to the |
anxious parents of these war-winners.
It owes as much to society.
!NBut some congressman must take up]
THIS matter,' promptly or it will be too
late. q
Congress must pass a law to meet
the need.
its up to the American people to |
speak to their congressman at once.
And the women war workers all over |
the country must have immediate pro-
lection by city and welfare authnri-
ties. to prevent development Of vice
problem worse than the one that is al
ways with us.
They say here in Washington that
the war industries board will give two
weeks notice to girl clerks who are,i
to be dropped, and that Chairman
Barney Baruch will pay transporta-
ton bills for dozens Of needy girls. But
the problem is too big for any one man
to handle

Of Whitesville, Del, spent several
very uncomfortable hours In the
crotch of a small tree until friends
rescued him. Jarman has large
herd of hogs which he allows to run
wild in a wood on his farm, feeding
on acorns and grass. Every year he
shoots two or three for his winter
meat and let's the remainder run.
He went out and, after killing three,
the other day, started to drag them
home, when the herd attacked him.
He scurried up a small tree just in
time to escape them and, sitting in the
crotch, shot two more, but was I'M
able to drive them away. The hogs
started to chew the bottom Of the tree
and for several hours he sat there,
afraid to move. Friends who knew he
had gone for hogs finally arrived later
and with dogs drove off the hogs, kill
ing two more, one Of the dogs being
also killed. Despite his predicament,
