right and can't complain SO long as
am able to dodge these shells.
am writing this letter out doors
in dugout, which l have certainly
learned to like. They are nothing
more than holes in the ground, and
serve as a cover from shells and
bombs. You see when a shell bursts

tons and ii you are below the sur
face of the ground you are much safer.
I'VE just got an issue of chocolate,

Don't blame the man who is perpet-

corpuscles and his brain and nerves
are craving for food.
Given the right kind of medicine,
any tired-out, inactive, tagging fell

live, energetic and even ambitious
man.
So says a student OF the nervous
system who advises all men and
women who feel worn out and who
find 1t hard to get up ambition
enough to take regular job to get a
package of Bio-feren at any druggist.
This 8 ths new discovery that
pharmacists are recommending be-
cause it is not expensive and speedily

who despaired of ever amounting to
anytti ing in life.

 QUES1|0NNAIRES

Little Rock, May 1.-About 5000 Arkansans subject to the draft have failed to return their questionnaires, according to the adjutant generals of, flee. These men are officially, listed as deserters, but in many instances the term does not express the truth.
 The adjutant general is attempting to clear up the record and IS sending out complete lists of the names and addresses of the registrants of whom the department has no record other than their registration cards. Thru the publicity to be given this list it is hoped that the departmen will be able O secure complete record showing the cause of the delinquency of every man. Attention is called to the fact that it is the duty of every loyal cltl- zen to aid the authorities in every way possible to determine the truth It is explained that not every regis trant listed as delinquent is such thru choice Or fault of his own, and local exemption boadrs are given lnstruc- tions as to the manner in which they are to be handled.
 "It is believed that great number of these reglstrants are dileauy II, the service" said Adjutant General England, land this office will gladly order their names removed from the delinquent list when such is establish cd to be the fact. A greater number have failed to report to their respect iv boards thru ignorance and thru failure to receive their mail. Many have changed their addresses without notifying their respective boards of their new address, altho in most cases this action was net with the intent to evade service A few have removed from place of registration, leaving no forwarding address, in hope. or evading service and some are listed thru fault of the local board in 1all. ing to make proper record of the new address given by the reglstrant
