The courier-index. (Marianna, Ark.) 1917-current, 1918-10-25

Few announcements in many years
have caused such widespread interest
in medical and scientific circles and
among the public in general as that
recently made regarding the discov-
cry of Irogen and its relation to the
blood and general health OF the hui
man system.
The wonderful power of Irogen to
rebuild natural strength, health and
vigor is now attributed by physicians
and scientists to its blood building
power Irogen. they explain, regen-
crates human blood, for 1t has been
demonstrated beyond the possibility
of doubt that Irogen supplies Ma
ture with the element essential to the
formation OF new blood.
The entire nation has been amazed
over the possibilities brought to light
through the discovery of Irogen, and
rightly so, for this discovery has a
practical interest of far reaching i'm
portance to the public in general. 1t
is known that the world is literally
full of people whose blood is below
the standard of vigorous health and
whose strength and vital resistance
to disease is therefore very low. AL
most every household, 1t is said, con-
tains one or more persons whose vi
tally is below normal-not necessar-
lily invalids, but rather weaklings who
are prone to disease and complaints
of every kind To these Irogen will
prove of inestimable value In rebuild
ing natural strength and health
through regeneration OF the lood, de-
clare authorities.

graved wedding invitations have
been offered as evidence that regis
trants were contemplating marriage
before the passage of the draft law,
May Is, 1917. The cases of at least
half dozen pairs of twin brothers
have been considered. In one in
stance 1t had been agreed by the
local board that one of the twins
should be indicted into the service
and the other should be permitted to
remain at home. The parents could
not decide which child should be Civ
en- up, so the appeal board was called
upon to choose. The boys were
equally willing to go, so it was neees-
sary to select the one who was to
serve his country
One of the most novel pleas for
deferred classification was made Sat
urday by a young man employed in
a bank in small country town. His
board had placed him in group A.,
class 1. He presented an industrial
claim, alleging that he was indis-
cashier was about to leave on an ex-
tended vacation and there was no
other person who could act as sub
stitute. The district board gave him
very slight encouragement, telling
him to take the matter up with his
local draft board.
In strong contrast was the case of
farmer of the 1917 class who had
been granted deferred classification
on an agricultural claim. A few days
ago he wrote to the board asking for
a transfer to class one, An older
brother had returned home from Tex
as and would take the drafted mans
place on the farm.

AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE
Service on U. S. Ships as Important
as Service in the Trenches,
Says Official.

simultaneously with the inaugural
ton of nationwide recruiting cam.
paign for officers and men for the
American Merchant Marine, the United
States shipping board will impress
upon local exemption boards the need
of granting exemption to all men
known to be mariners, and to all vol
unteers for the United States Shipping
Boards training ships.
The Shipping Board is now making
special drive in the states around
the Great Lakes to secure men be-
tween 21 and 30 be specially trained,
at an engineering school in Chi
cago, as marine firemen, oilers and
water tenders before putting them
on training ships at Boston for special
drill at sea. 1t will also accept men
to be trained as sailors, coal passers,
cooks and walters (messmen).
In the case of the men sent to Chi
cago for training their exemption will
begin on their arrival at the school.
Exemption of the others will begin as
soon as they are received on a training
ship of the United States Shipping
Board. 1t will continue in both cases
as long as the men remain in the Mer-
chant Marine. Such exemption is pro-
vided for in recent regulation.
Service on merchant ship in the
present emergency takes the place of
military duty and is fully as important
as service in the trenches" says w.
M. Thompson, Field Agent of the
United States Shipping Board Recruit
ing Service, now in this section.
The Shipping Board also wants to
hear direct from experienced men who
can serve as officers.
