Selective Service Law
Brought Out "a Million

THE first selective service or
\ draft law of the World war was
passed May Is, 1877. It applied to
all men of the ages of twenty-one
to thirty, inclusive, and was later
amended to provide for two supple
mentary drafts (June s, 1918, and
August "a, 1879 in addition to the
original draft of June S, 1917. BY
still later enactment in August, 1918,
notes the Indianapolis News, the
draft ages were extended to include
eighteen to forty-five years, and the
first registration Hereunder, held
on September IL, 1918, produced
about $4,000 registrants.
The first registration, June 5,
1917, brought out nearly 10000, 900
young men, the second, on June 5,
1918, brought I'd, 1865, and the third
August "a, 1918, 157, 963-a total OF
nearly 24,000,000 Americans of mill
tary age.
The administration of the law was
in the hands of the war department,
under the supervision of the Pres
ident, and with the assistance of
local draft boards, with appeal
boards for each congressional dis
trict.
The President issued his first in
structions to the exemption boards
July 2, 1917, and the first men draft
ed were called to service September
5, 1917. The order in which the reg
istrants were to be called to deter
mine their availability for military
service was settled by drawing of
numbers at Washington, in the sem
ate Office building, on July 20.
Quotas were apportioned to each of
the states and territories and the
District of Columbia.

In the Journal of Laboratory and
Clinical Medicine, DR.. Mills, Uni
versity OF Cincinnati, says: "A
close association seems to exist
between the first part OF the food

x-the colon or large intestine. Pu-
.trefaction or decaying of food
wastes in the large intestine seems
to result in bad breath, excessive
deposit OF tartar, and lowered vi
tally OF the gums. It is also thought
that even decay OF the teeth may
be traced to excessive wastes or
constipation in the lower bowel or
intestine.

and skin troubles result from the
wastes fronthis putrefaction in the

the blood and carried by the blood

The use of the hismuth meal in
getting the X-ray picture OF the
working of the intestine has helped
some of these cases as this heavy
powder scrapes or scrubs the lining
OF the bowel, removing the wastes
and the organisms causing the pu-
trefaction.
However, DIR. Mills recommends
the use of kaolin--the clay used in
making china or porcelain-as the
most rapid and certain treatment OF
putrefaction. A prescription OF 1t

kaolin 6 ounces, water ounces, and
a simple syrup 2 ounces. The dose
is half an ounce. teaspoonfuls,

Water Balance and Weight.


have spoken before of the anna
teur oarsman or sculler, who, hav-
ing won the Diamond Souls at Hen
ley some years previously, decided
to make another try for this coveted
trophy. Accordingly he arranged
with boxing instructor to work
out" every day for an hour at box
ing and gymnasium work. Despite
the fact that he took off three pounds
every day, he was the same weight
at the end of month as when he
started.
He stopped his exercise believing
that with his added years it had be-
come impossible for him to lose any
of his accumulated fat.
What was the matter? Why did
he not lose weight?
His weight was kept up because
OF the great amount OF water he
drank-one to two gallons every
day. Had he taken small amount
of water each time he felt thirsty
he would likely have lost almost half
a pound daily.
And sometimes when just the or
binary amount of water, tea, cof-
fee or other liquids are taken daily
two to three quarts--there Is lit
tie or no loss for days and some
times weeks. This is due to the fact
that each Individual has what is
known as a water balance-the
amount of liquids in various organs
and tissues of the body, that appears
to be the right amount to keep them
in good condition-skin, blood, di-
gestive, joint, spinal and other
juices.
Thus we find at times an over
weight individual faithfully cut
down food for week or even two
weeks and find the loss of weight
disappointingly small. Discouraged,
no further attempt at reducing is
made, because he or she feels ''just
meant to be fat.
Now, If our sculler and this other
Individual who found no loss of
weight after all this work or cut
ting down on food, had continued for
another two or three weeks or a
month the reduction in weight would
have been very satisfactory. Once
water balance is established, the
weight may 60 off at the rate Of one
or two pounds per day.
1T has been shown that under
carefully controlled conditions even
a normal Individual would maintain
his body weight or even add to it
while he was being underfed."
