Eichhammer Among the Missing

Dispatches from the American
Press association last Thursday told
of the torpedoing of the transport,
Tuscania, off the Irish coast. Yes
terday's dispatches gave lists of
those missing and supposed to be
drowned. Among the names of the
missing is that of John A. Eich-
hammer, who enlisted at East Grand
Forks, MINI.
1t is generally believed here that
the man named above is the John
Eichhammer who made his home here
for a number of years and whose
wife and three small children still re-
side here. The Eichhammer known
here came from East Grand Forks
and it is known that he enlisted
several weeks ago. He is a brother

been coined and that some old words
have either lost their original mean
ing or are used so seldom as to make
them seem practically obsolete.
Neutrals, once so popular has a
very poor standing at present in the
English language. One cannot be
neutral. The time has certainly
passed when any one in the United
States can say az am neutral If
he is a citizen of this country there
is one position he can take-and
only one.
If he is in the United States and
enjoying all the benefits that the
country can give him and he is not
citizen-why hasn't he become a
citizen? Does he still cling to his
native country? If he does the place
for him is in that country.
A large percentage of young men
who are of military age and who
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens of this country are
claiming exemption from service on
the ground that they are aliens.
What stand are these men taking =?
Looks very much like they were
men without a country" for they
are not taking upon themselves the
obligations of either their native
land or of the land to which they
have applied for adoption.
Can these men remain neutral,
while our beloved land is struggling
so hard for the very existence of
human liberty and free government
No, neutrals is not the word to call
them. A better word has been coined
and that is s-l-a-c-k-e-r-s.-Elk River

SUGAR
REGULATIONS
NO PERSON MAY HAVE IN POS
SESSION OVER A THIRTY DAY
SUPPLY OF EITHER
WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS DAYS
Pork Must Not Be Served At Noon
Day Meals.

This week U. S. Food Administra-
tor for Idaho, r. f. Bicknell, sent
to c. w. King, County Food Admins
traitor, an order providing that gra
ham and whole-wheat flour contain
ing 95 per cent of the wheat grain
may be sold with ten per cent sub
stitute. Over a 80 day supply of
flour may not be sold any camp or
restaurant or boarding house.
Dealers shall not sell to exceed
quarter of a barrel of flour to a
single customer in towns and not
over one-half barrel to rural custom
ers and the dealer must sell at the
same time one part substitute to two
parts flour or satisfy himself that
the customer has a supply of substi-
tutes in his possession at the time
of sale.
The Food Administrator will con-
slider it a violation of the Food Act
if a person has in his possession more
than a sufficient quantity of flour
for 80 days supply whether bought
from one or several dealers.
Mondays and Wednesdays of each
week will be observed as wheatless
days and the third meal of each day
will be a -wheatless meal. A sub
stitute for wheat does not become
Victory bread until it contains 20
per cent substitute. Sphagetti and
maccaroni and all breakfast foods
made exclusively of wheat are not
permitted on wheatless days. Bread
and rolls must contain 20 per cent
substitutes. 1t is urged that bakers
and restaurants follow the govern
ment's recommendation as to increas-
ing substitutes and serving them al
all times. Substitutes must be usec
for cakes, pastry, etc. Serve only
two ounces of Victory bread to each
guest and if more bread is required
serve war bread.

served as porkless days and Their,
will be one porkless meal each day
No pork may be served between
IL a. m. and p. m. Ham, bacon

strued to mean under the Idaho foo
administration as thirty days. TIL

cities and one-half barrel in rura
communities.
The maximum amount of sugar i

NOW EXAMINE
REGISTERED MEN

The Boundary county exemption
board has received new instructions
in regard to the physical examina-
tons of men in Class No. l and ex-
aminations will be started again next
Saturday. Notices to appear for ex-
animation were mailed out yesterday
and Is such notices will be mailed
daily until all in Glass No. l have
been examined.
Under the new regulations it will
be possible for the exemption boards
to accept many men who have here
tofore been turned down on account of
slight physical defects. 1t is probable
that the men who have already been
rejected will be subjected to another
examination.
The new regulations do not require
reflections on account of minor de-
formities of the feet and are lenient
in regard to eye and ear tests. The
qualifications as to height and
weight are also changed to take in a
large percentage of those who have
heretofore been rejected. Men 5S
inches tall and over will not be re-
jected. The local boards are instruct
ed to turn over to the Medical Ad-
visory Board all cases where there
is doubt about the fitness for SER
vice. Under the new regulations it
is estimated that the number of men
who can be accepted for service will
be greatly increased.
Yesterday Clerk Moore, for the ex-
emption board began filling out
cards for all the registered men of
the county which will contain a mart
of the data given in the recently
answered questionnaires. When these
cards are finished they will be sent
to Washington, D. c., and indexed.
Through this indexing system the
government will be able to call for the
services of professional men, mechan-
les or common labor, as it desires
and know just how many men are
available for every line of work for
the cards will show what kind OF
work each man does, how long he has
worked at the job or profession anc
what his wages were.

Dreadful Cough Cured

A severe cold is often followed by
a rough cough for which Chamber

especially valuable. Mrs. F. w. Olsen,

a severe cold and coughed dreadfully
for days. l tried a number of cough
medicines but nothing did him any
good until I gave him Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t relieved his cough
