DRAFT DESERTERS MUST

HUMILIATION OF ARREST

CAMP TRAVIS, Texas, March g.
Draft deserters must voluntarily sur
render themselves to the nearest mill
tary authorities at once in order to
avoid the humiliation of arrest. By
order of the Secretary Of War, Gen
eral Peyton c. March, chief of staff,
has issued a circular setting forth the
policy of the war department to settle
definitely the status of draft desert
ers.
The order of the president Of No

of mobilization and induction under

circular, provided specifically that it

In each case the authorities will
make careful investigation, and
where it is shown the man is not a
wilful deserter the charge of deser
tion will be set aside. But the charge
of desertion will not be set aside un-

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March g.
Several overseas "Y" men, attached
to the 18th infantry, first division,
went over the top at Scissors with
the men they had been serving,
grabbing rifles and ammunition from
dead Germans, according to Gernie
Tanning, Company C, 10th infantry,
who is now patient in Fort Sam

the 10th and 18th regiments were
side by side in the line, said Fan
ming in relating his experiences at
Scissors where he received bullet
in the rgiht shoulder from a Ger
man machine gun.
After he was hit Tanning was
loaded into one-horse dray and
hauled to a dressing station, where
he lay all night on straw pile
"The next morning" he said, "a 'Y'

tial jurisdiction All other draft de-
serters will be tried by general court
martial. If proven guilty their sepa-
ration from the army shall not appear
as honorable. If physical examina
ton shows such men physically un-
fit for service they may be discharged
without trial as provided in army
regulations.
The military authorities are pre-
pairing lists for publication Of all
men considered as draft deserters.
Until the lists are published the 'isu-
al efforts toward apprehending and
Furnishing draft deserters will be
made. When these lists are pub
lished all draft deserters appearing
thereon will be considered as any
other deserters and action will be
taken as prescribed in army regula-
tions.
The lists of deserters will serve
not only to inform the police officials
but to inform the deserter himself
and his friends and acquaintances
that a charge OF desertion stands
against him.
Pending further instructions all in
quiries for information as to draft de-
setrers will be referred to the ad-
jutant general of the state concerned.
Commanding officers are allowed
to use their own discretion as to
whether draft deserters who volun-
tarily surrender shall be confined or
merely retained within the limits Of
military jurisdiction pending the de-
termination of their status.

Daily Health Talks
a WORD ABOUT the KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
she dangers OF diseased kidneys. These
organs have duty of vital Importance
to perform, and ii they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the Kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts - in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back = often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, scatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric aci
troubles, don't delay in taking Anur
Tablets, which can be secured in tt.
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live SO that more uric acid
will not form in your system. Dr. f.erce
will not charge for this advice.

Readjust Farm Methods

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Farmers OF
the United States we're urged today
by the department OF agriculture TO
return to sound farm practices in the
coming season, abandoning cer'e!n
emergency measures adopted during
the war so as to assure ample sup
plies of ali kinds for this country ano
Europe.
No cause for alarm as to the aoi-
ity of American agriculture to man
tain its position IN world trade dur
ing the period Of readjustnent IS
foreseer BY the department, which
declares that considerable demand
from European countries for food
seuffs was also assured for year or
more.
The signing of the armistice found
the United States With fairly large
stocks Of foods but with smaller
stocks of feeds. It was recommended
that pasture lands plowed up for
growing grains and other food crops
should be reseeded to grass and that
regular and satisfactory rotation or
crops be resumed.
