OF NEXT DRAFT
MAY Be VERY SOON
Audrain County Has approximately
$50 Men in Class l Who viii Be
Called in This Contingent
APRIL is THE MONTH LIKELY
With Class 1 of the Last Draft Call,
This County will Have Practi-
cally 500 Men in Service

The announcement of the next draft
is imminent. 1t will find in this
county practically $50 men in Glass 1.
This number with those who have al
ready gone to the selective army and
volunteered in the various branches Of
the service will give Audrain a total Of
approximately 500 men in the war.
The provost marshal generals Of
flee has prepared "an important an
nouncement," which is believed to deal
with the time and method of summon
ing the second levy. The best opinion
is hat the first men will move to
camp in April.
Publication of the announcement Is
held up for action by Congress on
pending amendments to the Selective
Service Act. The most important Of
the proposed changes, in the opinion
Of Provost Marshal General Crowder
is that which will give him authority
to base state quotas on the total num-
Der of men in Glass AL, instead of the
total registered.
Preparations have been made for
summoning the remaining negroes GER
titled under the first draft. Between
seventy and eighty thousand Of these
were called, but only half Of them
have been sent to training camps.
The inadvisability of centralizing
these troops in Southern camps and
the fact that the army authorities do
not believe it safe to transfer them
to colder Northern camps during the
winter are given as the principal rea-
sons for the delay.

A ATTACK

When you have a bilious attack,
your liver fails to perform its fune-
tions. You become constipated. The
food YOU eat ferments in your stom--
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach and you will
soon be as we'll as ever. They only
cost a quarter. Adv.
