from the 100000 new registrants of

Most of the senators who heard the

follow the recommendation.
II Congress insists upon immediate
legislation. Secretary Baker, Gen.
March and Gen. Crowder were said to
be agreed, the minimum age limit of
twenty-one should be lowered, to Sc
cure younger men for military service,
rather than to make any extensive
raise in the maximum age limit by

They told the committee that more

cured by reduction of the age limit.
They suggested it be made twenty

Purity Gives Power.

There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood ia
the greater is the power of the sys-
tenn to remove the disease and the
less the liability to contact it. Per-
sons whose blood is in good condition
are much less likely to talks cold or
to be long troubled with it, or to
catch any contagious or infectious
disease, than are those whose blood
is impure and therefore impoverish-
ed and lacking in vitality. The best
medicine for purifying the blood is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persons suf-
fering from any blood disease or any
want of tone in the system are urged
to give this medicine a trial. 1t is
especially useful at this time of year.
