NEW FLOUR PRICE

WASHINGTON July 24.-Thl
food administration expects this
week to have in the hands of every
mill in the country a schedule of
prices at which flour and feeds from
the 1918 wheat crop may be sold.
The prices are for carload lots in

For sales of less than carload lots
so cents barrel on flour may be
added and where sold by mills to
individual consumers, S1.20 a barrel.
The jobber may sell at not more
than 25 to so cents over the deliv-
cred cost to him, and the retailer
at no more than $1.2O over the price
he pays.
The st. Louis price on flour to the
retailer from the mill is $1,000.

half OF DRAFTED
MEN in CLASS One
CrowGer To Investigate When
Local Boards Records Fall
Below so Per Cent

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Pr'
vost Marsha!-General Crowder to-
day Informed state draft executives
that more than so per cent of the
744.5G0 registrants in the 1918 class
are expected to be placed in class !
as physically qualified for general
military service and instructed them
to give special scrutiny to the report
of any local board which fails to
qualify this percentage"
This estimate, Geeral Crowder
said, is based upon the study of the
operation of the draft and the only
exceptions which will be recognized
are in the case of communities hay
ing large alien population, or which
have released large numbers of the
1918 class to the navy, marine corps
o. emergency fleet.
The national average should be
much higher than 80 per cent be-
cause industrial, agricultural and
dependency defermcnts and physical
reflections should be much lower"
Local draft boards have been in
structcd by General Crowder to re-
fuse the release Of rgistrantS IN
Class / for enlistment in the navy,
marine corps or the emergency fleet,
until it has been determined that
there will be a sufficient number of
rcgistrants physically qualified for
general military service to fill
promptly all August calls. State
Adjutal.ts-GcncraI have been mott
fed that The August requisition:
will be approximately equal to those
of July, when 367,96l registrant'
were called to the colors
Medical advisory boards also hav
been urged to speed up the physica
examination of rcgistrantS in crde
to have all men in Class l ready fo
call IN August.

KIDNEY DISEASE Is FATAL

When disease gets into the kidneys
it is just scertain to take a person
eff as leprosy, unless it ischecked be-
fore it goes too far. If people just
knew the danger that lurked in dis
eases of these delicate organs they
would be. as careful of them as they
are of their eyes. People who have
sound kidneys should know how to
protect and take care of them. Kid
ment a trial, there is nothing better.

kidney diseases because it remove:
the poisons that collect in the BLOOD

CLYDE MCDONALD
IS GETTING WELL
CiDe Marine Wounded In France
Writes To His Aunt
From Paris

Clyde Mcdonald, the Cape Girar-
deau marine who was seriously
wounded several weeks ago during
an engagement in France, IS we'll on
the road to recovery. Mrs. Thomas
J. Haddock OF this city, an aunt Of
the young fighter, yesterday receiv'
cd a letter written by him from a
Red Cross hospital in Paris.
The tone of the letter indicated
that he was enjoying his stay in the
hospital. Clyde told his aunt of an
interesting meeting Of an intimate
friend shortly after he reached the
hospital. The young man is referred
to as "Babe."
When Clyde Mcdonald was sent to
Paris Island, where he received his
initial instructions for marine work,
he met Babe" and they became fast
friends. After reaching France, they
were separated.
CLYDE had been in the hospital IN
France only one day, when he heard
a familiar voice on cot short dis
lance away. He recognized it as his
friend "Babe.' The twow cots ON
which the wounded marines lay were
pushed together and they told the
story of the battle to each other and
how it felt to be shot.
Briefly, Clyde Mcdonald discussed
his stay in the hospital. This part of
his letter follows: "You ought to
have look at me now-all dressed
up and no place to go. Have my
meals served in bed don't have any
thing to do but eat, read, smoke and
be happy. And the nice part of it is
I think l will lead this kind of life
for some time. Pretty soft, Ell! l
am in the hospital and have been for
several days, but this is the first
time | felt like writing
"There are four other marines in
the same room with me- One is shot
through the lung, another'in the hip,
one in the shoulder and | got mine
through, the right leg.
"But we sure did send lot of
those Germans to rest. You have
read all about US and are real proud
Of Us by now I am in love with this
hospital. You know all of these hos
