State. You are today swamped with
work. on account of the late registra"
tion which was carried out very sue
cessfully, ard with the mailing out Of
the Questionnaires to those men who
registered and who were between the
ages of 10 and 81. My local boards
have never yet failed on any task, no
matter how great it may have been,
and | look to you today with conf

work today than ever before, this
large call which is the largest single
call ever announced by this Office will

MASON COUNTY man
DIES FROM WOUNDS
Received IN BATTLE
Grover Frederick, Mayslick Man, Is
Reported Dead From Wounds Re-
ceiyed In Action Latter
Part Of July.

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Frederick, of
the Mayslick neighborhood, have just
received telegram from the War De-
partment announcing that their son,
Grover G. Frederick of the American
Expeditionary Forces, had died in
France. The telegram announces
that young Frederick was killed in ac-
tion on July 90 but the family thinks
this is an error in transmission as
they have received letters from the
young man since that date.
The family had previously been no.
titled that their son had been wound
ed in action on July 22 and afterward
they received letters from him while
in base hospital. He informed them
that he had been wounded in the right
leg and later they were informed that
the wound was of such a nature as to
require the amputation of the limb.
1t is now supposed that he died from
the amputation.
Young Frederick was in one OF the
first squads of selectives leaving Ma
son county. He was a splendid young
man liked by all who knew him and
has many friends in all parts of the
county who are grieved to learn of his
death.
This is the second man from the
Mayslick neighborhood to give his life
for the cause of Democracy, the first
man in the county making the SUI
preme sacrifice having come from that

SMITH TO INSTRUCT SECOND CIVILIAN
 MILITARY CLASS
Meeting Will Be Held at the Y. M. C. A. Tomorrow Night for
 Organization

Tomorrow night at o'clock in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. the mem bers of the first military training class conducted by Robert l.. Smith will meet with any new men who care to take up ganizing second class.
 The first class has finished the course
 originally planned and the members are
 very anxious to help other men who are
 to be subject to military service acquire
 a knowledge of military subjects. The expense attached is very small, the same
 being prorated among the members of
 the class, and the only obligation that a
 mar assumes is to attend regularly the drills and lectures, which are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights and Sunday mornings.
 The formations at night will be held, as at present, at Behrens park, where lighting facilities are arranged. and on Sunday mornings short hikes will be taken, where extended order work may be taught under conditions similar to actual warfare.
 Mir. Smith is one of the few men in the city competent to instruct such a class, he having been diligent student | of military subjects for some years. Through patriotic motives and without compensation he organized his first class about three months ago, with the inten- | tior of dishanding on September 1, but lthe members of this first class, fealiz- 1 ing the benefit they have received. have prevailed upon him to organize this sec i ond class, for which purpose all men of l military age are cordially invited to meet with them tomorrow night

Birmingham dairymen are active III their fight against the proposed -Pastear- ization plant which is contemplated being established in Birmingham for the pur- pose of taking all milk from all local dairies, pastelrizing it, and then furnish ing it to the public.
 w. E. Matthews, one of Birmingham , prominent dalrymen, protests against .he statement that he claims have ema- pated from the city health department at the city nall to the effect that the milk being sold here contains 100000 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
 If such is the case,' states MT, Mat thews, why does such a condition ex:st when the health department is supposed not to allow any milk sold that contains over 5Oo,00D bacteria per cubic centime . ter?
 If this rasteurization plan Sis made effective. it will mean the butcher pen for the cattle that are furnishing the milk for Birmingham now, and the en- riching of stockholders in the corporation that will control the pasteurization of milk, while sS000o0 worth of property be- longing to the dairymen will practically be confiscated-that is, put out of ousi- ness, for we can't afford to sell our milk for 36 cents gallon, CT even 40 cents, and mako living out of it.

He is very live factor in these conferences, and is the founder of the institution.
 Before returning to Birmingham, Dr. Stuart took run down into southern Georgia, where he enjoyed participating

 There will be meeting of the dairy men this week for the purpose of coming to some definite conclusion regarding the milk problem.
 Speaking of milk presentation, MT. Matthews quoted the following from Healthy Home. a magazine devoted 70 home health hints, purer foods and milk;
 USE OF MILK
 This raper never unreservedly praises milk a5,a food for adults partly beca use it is so hard to get milk that is pure and fresh.
 Tt is true beyond question, however, that diet Of pure, fresh milk, just from the healthy COW, will do more to re- store many rundown persons to norrrai condition than any method of treatment known. That is why some of the mtlis cures, so-called, succeed Pasteurizing milk may bc necessary. but it certainly does destroy some or the life giving ele. ments of fresh milk.
 .'Lorand, the great authority. says:
 We should always use raw milk, ana only when there is doubt as to the origin of the milk should we heat it. and then not above 1iJ degrees Fahrenheit, so as not to destroy all it's valuable properties. There Is 8 wonderful adherence III lhS effects If boiled and raw milk. 1t has been shown that animals fed on milk heated to a high temperature never thrive we'll In children also we can see the bad effects Of boiled milk, Barlow s dis ease and tickets may have been due 10 drinking overloaded milk When calves are fed Oil boiled milk they acquire rick ety defo,mities of the bones and SCOT butte conditions.
