KIDNEY DISEASE IS FATAL

When disease gets into the kidneys
it is Just a scertain to take a person
off 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
neco is a sure remedy for treating
kidney diseases because it removes
the poisons that collect in the blood
through the inactive kidneys.
Just go to any drug store and get
about a dozen Kidneco Tablets. They
are inexpensive and will relieve your
kidney trouble quickly. Mailed by
the kidneco Co., Boston, Mass.

NAVY VOLUNTEERS
TO WORK ON FARM
Those Who Enlist May Farm 4.
ill Called Into Active
Service

St. Louis, Mo-, June 22.-The priv
iIegc of enlisting in the Navy and be-
ing nut on the waiting list until call
cd TO active service is the latest in
ducement offered by the Navy to men
who are working on farms or who
are awaiting call to service in the
draft army because they feel that
they must spend all the time possible
at their present work. Draft boards
must give all registered men releases
if they are not in the current quota.
The Navy is now accepting and
cnlisting men for various branches of
the service at the recruiting station
for the Missouri District, Seventh and
Chestnut Streets, St. Louis, and send
ing the men back home to await a
call to report for active duty. The
intent of this order is to give men
working on farms an opportunity to
enlist in a volunteer branch of the
service and then return to their work
on an indefinite leave.
ANY man enlisting at this time who
is put on the waiting list is exempt
from the draft, or to be more exact
is placed in Class 5 as being in the

Naval service of the United States.
Lieut.. F. NJ. Wilson, officer in
charge, said that the order to put
men on the waiting list was the best
news the boys in the rural districts
have had at must not be considered
that the Navy has more men now
than they can use," he said. "The
situation demands all the enlistments
possible, and this ruling has for its
primary object the enlistment of men
who want to volunteer but who feel
that they should do all the work for
which there is need before they are
called. The Navy offers these con-
scientious workers the opportunity to
get in a choice branch of the service
and then go back home to finish their
work. We expect the rural districts
to furnish a great number of men I'm

FARMERS WIFEHURT.
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Robert Masters0n Suffers
Conclusion OF Brain in Leap
ing From Cars

Mrs. Robert MaSterson, wife of the
well known farmer living near Jack
son, was severely injured early yes
terday morning when she was thrown
from the automobile near the farm of
James Mcdonald on the Cape-Jack-
son road. She was rendered uncon-
scious, and remained in that condition
several hours. She suffered a con-
cussion of the brain and several cuts
on her head.
The accident occurred between the
farms of Jerry Hit and James Nc
Donald about o'clock yesterday
morning. The machine in which Mrs.
Masterson and her daughters were
returning home from the Cape began
to roll down the incline when the
breaks refused to work.
Miss Lorene Masterson, who was
driving the car, brought the machine
to stop, but in her excitement Mrs.
Masterson leaped from the machine
striking her head on the road. She
was rendered unconscious. An auto
mobile party returning to Jackson
from the Cape assisted in carrying
the injured woman to the home of
Jerry Hit, where she received first
aid. she was then taken home.
Mrs. Masterson had driven TO the
Cape during the afternoon accoTpa-
MED by her daughter. Lorene, to meet
her daughter, Mrs. Burge, who with
her three children had arrived during
the afternoon from Centralia, ILL.,, to
spend a visit at the Masterson home.
From the Cape the party drove to
limo TO meet Mrs. Masterson's son,
who was delayed however on account
of a wreck. For that reason they did
not return home till early yesterday
morning.
The physician who treated Mrs
Masterson stated yesterday that her
condition was not serious, although
the injury was very painful. He be-
lieved she would recover in a few
days.

CALDWELL GETS

EXPERT FARMER
District Board Overrules
Local Body, which Placed
Him in Class l, A.
ASSESSORS FRIENDS
CALL IT A VICTORY
Official Said lie Was Needed al
Home to Till Farm He And
Brothers Own.

Ernest Caldwell, County Assessor
will not give up his position and go
to war for the present, it was an
nounced last night. Sheriff Hutson,
chairman of the County Board, re-
ccived notice yesterday that the dis
trict board had overruled the local
body and had placed Caldwell in Glass
?. He had been placed in Calss l A
b. the local board.
In his afIidavits, asking the District
Board TO overrule the county board,
Mr.. Caldwell stated that he was
needed at home to take care OF a
farm jointly owned by MIN and his
brothers. The district board gave
him the deferred classification on the
grounds that he was an expert farm
er.
Mr.. Caldwell, being within the
draft age, registered in June, 1917,
but was placed in Class 4. This
class ification was made by the board
under the belief that a county official
was entitled to deferred place.
An order from Jefferson City, few
weeks ago, ordered that Caldwell be
transferred to a different classical
ton, because he was without depend
ents. 1t was held that only officials
holding positions that cannot be filled
by appointment by the Governor are
entitled to deferred classification.
The local board, therefore, reopen
ed his case and placed hi min Class
One A. MIR. Caldwell charged that
his political enemies were responsible
for the order from jefferson City. His
uncle, J. +. Caldwell, charged that
the local board was unfair.
Mr.. Caldwell, the assessor, there
upon appealed to the district board
for a new classification on agricul-
tural grounds, and was again reclas-
sifed. His friends consider the rul-
ing of the district board as distinct
victory for the assessor.

tratiOn Class

Washington, June 15.-Marriage
since the enactment of the selective
draft law no longer will be accepted
as cause for exemption from military
service, except in the cases OF men
who have become of age since June 5,
1917, who may be exempted if they
married before January Is, 1918, the
date on which the joint resolution was
introduced in Congress.
Drastic amendments to the draft
regulations were announced tonight
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
under which local boards are requir-
ed to reclassify all cases involving
such marriages. Dependency claims
on acccurs of children of such mar
riages will be allowed when children
are born or unborn before June 9,
1915"
Following is an order sent to all
state draft executives:
"P!ease promulgate at once to local
boards the following important
amendments to the selective. service
regulations.
"RuIe 5, section 70, S. S. R. is
amended to read as follows:
"Rule (a). The fact of depend
ency resulting from the marriage of
a registrant who has become 81 years
of age since June 5, 1917, and who
has married since the date Of the
introduction of the joint resolution in
Congress requiring his registration,
to-wit, January Is, 1918, will be dis
regarded as a ground for deferred
classification.
(b) If registrant who has attain
ed the age of 81 since June 5, 1917,
and who mas contracted marriage
subsequent to the date of the enact
ment of the selective service law, to-
wit, May is, 1918, but on or prior to
January Is, 1918, claims deferred
classification on the ground of Deepen
dency resulting from his marriage
vii lbe disregarded as a ground for
deferred classification, unless the de-
pendent in a child Of the marriage,
born or unborn on on prior to June
8, 1918, in which case registrant
upon satisfactory proof being made,
shall be classified in class 2.
(c) If registrant, other than one
VINO has attained the age of 81 years
since June 5, 1917, who has contract
ed marriage since May Is. 1917
Gains deferred classification on the
e. .und of dependency resulting from
l. marriage will be disregarded as a
and for deferred classification un-
S the dependent is a child of the
arriage born or unborn on or be-
fore June 9, 1918, in which case such
registrant upon satisfactory proof
being made shall be placed in class 2.
I'D Nothing contained in this
amendment to rule shall be con-
strued as requiring the transfer to
class 2 of any registrant who has
been finally classified in class 1 on the
affirmative finding that his marriage
since May Is, 1917, was made with
the primary view of evading military
service.

COUNTY TO Send
80 men ON THREE
CALLS in JULY
81 White Men To Leave In
Two Equal Contingents
Next Month.
CALLS NEXT MONTH
TAKE ALL OF GLASS l
Mobilization of Three July
Quotas For Cape County
Begins July 9.

Three contingent of draft men of
this county will leave for the training
camps between July and July 20.
The local board yesterday Received
instructions to get the men ready
for these calls. The contingents will
be composed of both white and COL
ored draftees, the first two calls be-
ing exclusively white men and the
third colored draft men.
No definite date for the sending of
the men was given in the orders re-
ceIved yesterday by the local board.
The first call, the order states, will
be modified between July 5 and July
9, the second call between July 10
and July 10, and the last call will be
made between July 16 and 20.
The first two contingents will be
composed of Al men each, and the
third will be made up of eight colored
men. The latter will be sent to
Camp Funston, kans., while both
contingents of white men will be or
dered to jefferson Barracks, near St.
Louis. The exact date on which each
contingent will be ordered to the
training camps will be issued by the
adjutant general of the State.
These three coltingents do not in
clude the county's quota for the late
July draft call, which was issued by
Provost Marshal Crowder at Wash
ington Tuesday evening. Missouri
has been allotted 21,0O0 on the latest
call 1t is estimated that the coun-
tvs quota for the last July call which
will be made after July %, will be far
above 100 men.
Blucher Sporting, secretary of the
local board, stated yesterday evening
that these July calls would complete
ly exhaust Class One A of this coun-
ty, from which adj men have been
drafted during the past in order to
fill the county's quota on eacn draft
call. In all certainty the young mar
ried men who have been ordered re-
classified will be included in these
July calls.
Because of the absence of DR.. G.
w. Vineyard, the examining member
of the local board, the Reconsideration
of the men registered in 1917 will not
be started till the latter part of this
week. 1t is estimated by the local
board that the reclassifcation will
add at least 20 or so men to Class
One A thus furnishing a sufficient
number of men to fill the county's
quota for the four July calls.
Tomorrow a contingent of 5S draft
men will leave for Camp Pike, Ark.
These men have been ordered to re-
mort at Jackson at 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon. Those living near Tic county
seat, or who can return home without
difficulty will be permitted to go
home, but must report Friday morn
ing at s o'clock. This contingent is
the first of this county to be sent to
a southern training camp.
