Six good teeth on each jaw will suffice to permit of a registrant be ing accepted. Formerly if three were missing me man wouiu ne re jected. Rejections cn ground of social diseases will be allowed only when of such nature as to make a man permanently unfit for service. Other registrants with these defects will be advised to accept treatment pend ing receipt of orders to bo port for duty. in the matter of one's lungs, a strict and most careful examination is ordered, with a view of keeping to the minimum the number of pneu monia and tubercular cases in the camps.

Only complete nasal obstruction will reject, which means thai adenoid.-? and enlarged tonsils are no cause. Practically all the maximum re strictions in height were removed, indicating that Uncle Sam can see no reason why the giants should not fight as well as the little fellows. The old regulations placed the limit at tl feet. 3 inches, while the new or- lors provide that men above G feet. s inches may be accepted if they are won proportioned.

All other cases and those of a doubtful interpretation go to the medical advisory board, similar to the district exemption board. Physicians no longer need to make la complete report on every man as was necessary under the first draft. As soon as a defect is found which unconditionally disqualifies a man, the examination ceases. BUYS MURRAY RESIDENCE. Fr- ni r' 'nVs r-sl'v. L. II.

Certain articles of diet tend to check movements o fthe bowels. The most common of these are cheese, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits, especially apples and bananas, also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a move ment of the 1 bowebi. When the bowels are badly constipated, how ever, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets imme- , diately after supper. ELEVATOR'S SIDE OF THE STORY IS TOLD IN LETTER MANAGER OF MURRAY ELEVA TOR TELLS OF PURCHASE OF CORN FROM CODE'S. Murray, Nob. Jan.-HO. Robert Bates, riattsmouth, Nebr., Dear sir: There was an article in the Monday's K veiling Journal, of January 2Sth in regard to the case between the Farmers' Elevator of Murray and S. O. Cole. In this article it was stated that the Cole Brothers sold a quantity of corn, to be delivered at a later oate; and when the time came for the delivery they offered to deliver. This state- nient is absolutely untrue. The corn I when the elevator could get cars to 1 take it. When cars were received j and room made in the elevator, and they could take it. then the boys I were notineu 10 aenver, anu agreeu to do so. But the father of the I hos- S- olin role claims he bought the corn of the hoys, and sell this same eorH to the elevator, taking a written contract. I did not know at the time, when the corn was sold me by S. Olin Cole, that this was the same corn that his boys sold me. When this corn wa3 delivered I held this corn as a delivery. "While the contract between the Elevator Co., and these boys was only verbal, I took them at their word, which they did not make good. The contract between the elevator company and s. Olin Cole was in writing, and this the judge held good. Yours Respectfully, W. A. WHEELER. Manager of Farmers Elevator, I Murray, Nebr. ADDING CONTEST TO BE HELD From Thursday's Daily.

Crook has just received a letter from his son Guy Crook, who is at Kelly Field, near San Antonio, Texas, where he is with the aviation corps, and he has been placed in the department of insurance, which he has had experience in for some time past before having offered bis service to the country. This has been and is the practice, to trained men if possible for positions, and not to lose time in training men when peo ple for the positions are ready. This is one reason why tiniversity men are preferred for the aviation divi sion, that they have received tech nical instruction in the course pur sued in school, which gives them the knowledge need in the work which they are to do.
