MEN FROM 10 TO IS
REGISTER sept. u

Men between the ages of IS and As
who have registered once for army
service are asked to bear in mind
that they are not to register again.
The idea prevails that men who reg
istered before and who have been
placed in deferred classification are to
re-register again. This is a mistake.
Men in Franklin, Wayne and Bos-
ton townships who have attained the
age of IS and who have not yet at
tanned the age of 46, who have not
registered before for army service
must register on September II with
local board number l at the court
house.
More women than were needed have
volunteered their services as clerks
for the registration.
The Richmond Consumption board
has received call for limited service
men to do clerical work. One man
will go to each local board office, one
for each medical advisory board, one
for the district board, and one for the
state headquarters board.
Nineteen selects who will go to
Camp Taylor Thursday reported for
roll call Wednesday afternoon.

ANNUAL RENTAL OF
RAILROADS COSTS
u. s. ONE BILLION
(By Associated Fress.)


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The con-
tract between the government and the
railroads as approved in form by Di-
rector General McAdoo and represent
atives of the principal lines, made
public today. shows that the annual
rental bill will be around the billion
dollar mark, or more than the esti-
mated revenue of roads now under
federal control
The agreement generally carries out
the provisions of the railroad control
bill requiring, among other things,
that the properties, at the end of the
stipulated period be returned to the
owners in as good condition as when
taken over. Compensation paid by the
government for use of the roads is
to be based on the average individual
operating income of each for a period
of three years preceding government
opera ton.
Efforts are being made to adjust
some of the differences standing in
the way of immediate signing of the
agreement by company representa-
tives, who protested against many of
its provisions, but in the main the di-
rector general and the roads have
agreed on the substantial points, it
was said. There are ITO lines under
government management and each will
be asked to sign the contract.

Searching For
Indiana Doctor
New Castle Woman Claims
She Found Him at The In
ter-State Institute.

Many people are interested in the
search for the doctor who has created
such a stir in these parts by giving
out medicine that did so much good
for the sick and afflicted.
The following is from a woman who
claims she has found the great spe-
cialist who has the Interstate treat
ment She says:
New Castle, Ind, Aug. 10. 1916.
To the Interstate Doctors:
and my husband are so wildly i'm
pressed with the ACCESSIBILITY of peo-
pie being examined by such specialists
as you have proven yourselves to be
before ever submitting to an opera
ton, that we want to publish our
views, hoping it will be guide to
some other suffering victims. Opera
tons have become such fad and
craze that even the medical profess
sion has been making it part of the
game, and we can speak of it from
our own very recent experience. My
husband is engaged in building the
mausoleum here and not acquainted
with any doctors. l took sick with
hemorrhage and female trouble had
been running on for two weeks and
very weak We called a doctor and
he said l would have to go to the
hospital and be operated on. My hus-
band felt like he wanted some other
doctors opinion, so we had this doc
tor bring counsel with him. The two
came and did nothing but talk in an
other room. Both agreed | must be
operated on and that at once; asked
u foy, Il o,-Y..,,1 oh h..
and not caring to throw money away,
we hesitated The next day We were
induced to send to your office for DR.
Culver. He came and gave me a thor
ough examination, told me there was
no necessity for any kind of an oper-
alton. He prescribed for me- that
evening, and just in two days | was
100 per cent. better, and visited him
at your office and have been on my
feet ever since. Hadn't been on my
feet for two weeks before that, and
it was such a radical change, and so
at variance with the faddists, who are
always wanting to operate that / felt
it my privilege as well as my duty to
let the public know about your great
ability along this line, and l would
say to every woman: Don't be butch
cred until you consult the Interstate
Doctors. Doctor Culver visited me
but once, on June Il, 1916.
MRS, H. E. WOLTMAN
1105 Southern Avenue.
Doctor Culver, the head physician,
will be in the Richmond Office all day
Friday from a. m, to s p. m. Over
the Starr Piano Co., Cor. Tenth and
Main.-Adv.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at disadvantage
in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles,
If she can avoid these hateful marks of
advancing age? Few women, however,
know what to do to effectually rid
themselves of wrinkles or sagsiness.
Most of the advertised preparations are
unsatisfactory and very expensive. But
a very simple and harmless home rem
edy, which any woman can make, will
work wonders where all the patent pre-
parations fall
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in half pint of witch hazel and
use as a wash lotion. The results are
practically instantaneous. Marked inn
provenient is noticed Immediately after
the very first trial, Wrinkles and sag
ging are corrected and the face feels
SO refreshed and smuglike.-Adv.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. AFTER four days
and nights spent in an observation
post in the region Of Juvigny, Ser
geant Ira Croshaw, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, returned today to American
division headquarters after having
witnessed virtually all of the Ameri-
can daylight action since the attack
on the plateau began last Wednesday
morning.
The hill where the observation post
is located, commands a view of the
country for miles around, the Ger
mans having erected a hell-proof
tower of concrete and steel rails with
roof six feet thick and the sides
four feet. In addition to a telephone,
Sergeant Croshaw had seven runners.
The tower exits faced the German
lines and the enemy machine gunners
opened fire every time an individual
was sighted but none of the runners
was lost. When Sergeant Croshaw
reached the tower, he found dead
German at the entrance, but before
he could bury the body the Smelling
started. The first day the American
runners crawled back and forth into
the tower entrance over the body of
the dead German, the Americans
finally burying it beneath the ent-
rance.
Bounded Over Trenches
Sergeant Croshaw witnessed the
Americans cross the veritable sea of
barbed wire network on Sunday after
noon, while the Americans were east
ward bound. He saw his countrymen
cross trench after trench by bounds
until he wondered how infantrymen
stood the strain of shells and machine
gun fire pouring upon the plateau.
Time and again advancing infantry
| men were compelled to halt and cut
or break down wire entanglements to
get through. Men ahead were sup
/ piled with wire cutters to complete
