been requested by several state
 headquarters to outline the gen
 eral duties of Local Boards after
 the completion of classification.
 Some fifteen thousand citizens
 compose these Boards ana it was
 recognized early that the Govern
 ment must adopt some policy
 which would enable these men to
 assist it in it's hour of need vet
 not take unfair advantage Of their patriotism to their bu si- ness and to their financial loss
 To this end the regulations calling for classification were planned and put into effect
 With this work completed the Local Boards have finished tt.e great task. They will be asked now to supervise only the draw ing of army units from their re- spective Ommuuities They will not be required to be present at the actual phySicial examina- tions. The regulations require that they approve or disapproye the result of such examinations as shown by the physicians rec ord and recon mendation. To tighten the demands on the time of Board Members they may au : thorize the chief clerk to sign documents in the name of the Board. The main duty of Local Boards henceforth will be the re
 classification of men whose sta tuS may change to such a degree as to entitle them to be transfer red from one class to another or to classify such men as may either have failed to register or who may hereafter be rt rtquired to register. It is suggested d where possible that a member of the Local Board shall act as chief clerk although it should be said here clerk hire will be closely regulated in a short time based upon the actual registration of Local Board. Mobilization duties will largely be mechanical and the preparation of the notices. the making of the lists. the SC
 curing of transportation should be performed by the clerk
 When large detachments are en- training it is not too much to ask the Local Board to be represent ed by one member. These occa slons are usually public functions and the presence of a represen
 tatiye or the Government is de sired. From what has been said it will be seen that. when the classification is complete the du
 ties of Board members will be supervisory and general and no more onerous than that imposed on members of town and city councils and the like. From time to time specific tasks will be i'm posed requiring more time ard effort as for instance, the possi- ble registration and classification of men who have attained tbe age of twenty one since June fifth nineteen seventeen. When such specific tasks are required com pensation will be provided for those who must require it. At other times there will be no se- rious demands on the time of Board Members and hence no compensation will be provided. The Local and District Boards are about to complete the erec- tion of an Army Building Ma chine the like of which is un- known in the worlds history. From it will come the armies of the future and this country nev- CT again will find itself unready. The men who have built it have toiled night and day for many months; their work was not such as could be measured in money; true a few have complained but

MILLIONS DENIED
THE JOYS OF LIFE
Nine Tenths of Physical Misery
Caused By Our Neglect
of Blood.

The discovery of Irogcn, the true
blood builder, has set the world to
thinking along entirely new lines
1t is now realized that millions OF
people who do not suffer from any
particular disease are subnormal in
their general health and vital pow
er, and that this weakness is due to
weak blood. The only logical con-
clusion that can be drawn from the
strengthening effects of Irogen is
that the blood is the life, the
strength and the health of every or
gan nerve and muscle of the human
body.
People of weak blood who look up
on life as care and burden find
that lrogen gradually brings them
back to the joys of living, the
strength and courage to meet the
world face to face, the power to
laugh at trouble and to disregard
petty annoyances. BY strengthening
the blood Irogen confers strength
and poise to the nervous system,
energy and endurance to the mus
cular system and natural activity to
all the organs of the body.
JOYS OF LIVING.
Probably the most important and
certainly the most practical lesson
taught by the action of Irogen is
that nine-tenths of our unhappiness
and as much of our sickness, pains
and miseries are the direct results
OF our own neglect of our blood. |
Our whole system of medication has
been wrong, for we have been doc
toring our organs with stimulating
drugs instead of strengthening them |
by enriching our blood.
During the first few days of the
1rogen treatment there may be no
noticeable results, though in many
cases there is an appreciable increase
in the general tone, strength and
SAAN "a "AA|S VI IhC hCI NCo anu
cular system. The appetite and di-
gestion may show an improvement
within few days. The complexion
takes on better color, indicating
improved blood. Gradually there de-
velopes from day to day feeling
OF improved general health and
strength, which has it's influence in
steadying the nerves and imparting
the power of endurance. In cases
where impoverished blood has result
cd in loss of flesh, there is a general
increase in weight, the result of i'm
proved digestion and assimilation.
Note-Irogen is sold in Union City
by divers Drug Store and Kenton
by the Gem Pharmacy. adv.

MEMORIES

(By R. A. Ward.)
From the verge of the Valley o.
Shadows,
discover pictures along the way;
Before me they are dim--undeve,oped,
And changing from day unto day;
Sometimes they appear in bright
colors,
Rejecting the sunset Of gold,
Sometimes the clouds overshadow
And the vision seems lifeless and
cold.
Behind me is Memory's gallery
Extending back to childhood and
youth;
Its tablets are engraved with pictures,
Faithfully portraying the truth.
With varied emotions we view them
AS they reveal our actions through
life;
Some afford lasting pleasure,
Some portray scenes of sorrow or
strife.
Every act OF our lives forms a picture
Inscribed on Memory's walls.
Some things we thought were for
gotten,
Some incident often recalls.
Our failure may be lack of judgment,
Or an error Of mind or Of will
The wounds may be healed com pletely
But the scars remain there still.
II our acts were always pure ones,
We would never have cause to re-
gret
And as we gazed upon life's pictures
Would not crave the power to for
get.
When we come to the end of life's
journey,
And recount our acts, one by one,
May the kind Father who knows our
weakness,
Remember only the good we have
