From Patur.lavs Daily.
Working under now rulings is

shal General Crow. lor the local ex
emption hoard, examining men in
la.s 1 fjr physical disability, is con-
ii:ed closely in the scope it may cov
er in granting exemption to any of
the examined me-a.
The modifications indicate that it
is the intent and determination of
the War Department to hold for ser
vice either f a general military or
a special nature all men registered
except tho? whose physical condi
tion can nov r be remedied to make
ihcm lit for any kind of service.

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

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

obstruction will reject, which means
thai adenoid.-? and enlarged tonsils

Practically all the maximum re
strictions in height were removed,
indicating that Uncle Sam can see
no reason why the giants should not

The old regulations placed the limit

Hi" wngat minimum is also low-

held for service pending better
health. Only extreme cases of obes

of overweight. Registrants in good

that a more general understanding
fould be had between local boards
and those higher up. to the end of
avoiding such situations as are sure

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.

RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL.
This morning Will Rummell de
parted for Omaha, where, he went to
return with his sister-in-law Mrs.
M. J. Rummell, who has been in the
hospital at that place for some time
convalescing from an operation for
the removal of a cancer, some time
since. Her many friends will be
pleased to know of her rapid recovery
and will rejoice that she can now
leave the hospital.
About Constipation.
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.

as shown up in the governments purchases for the army. It's inevitable that

From Saturday's Dailv.
B. F. 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.
