HO LOOPHOLE TO EVADE THE DRAFT Any i Kegistration Official Showing Favoritism Must Go to Prison; No Alterna tive of Tine. Washington, May 11. American of any fear that county and city regis tration boards wilt exercise favoritism in enrolling soldiers under the selec tive draft act. Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder issued statement to night declaring Such practices would be virtually impossible, because of the exjlicit terms in which the ,act it drawn. ''.''' He warned registration officials taut favoritism easily could be detected and would be punished with heavy penalties. ' " . "Every precaution," said the state ment, "will be taken to make it cer tain that the registration will be con ducted with exact justice." No Latitude to Board. "The law is specific and allows no latitude to the boards, either in the matter of registration or in. the later matter of exemption from service. The law it self-executing. Every man within the age limit fixed by the se lective service act must register, and the penalty of the la - in evasion of registration will fall not only on the man who fails to appear, but on any member ot a registration Doarcj who may be shown to be in collusion with the person who attempts to (scape his duty. '. ' ' . "Further than thll, .he registration boards will never act at exemption boards except in certain specific cases, such as where a young man who has registered shall claim to be employed in a federal, state or local office and thereby doet come within the ex . eruption clause of the ttatute. In a case like this the facta must be en tered officially and attested. Penalty Is Imprisonment "So far at the other reason! for exemption under the law are con cerned, exemption" for men engaged in pursuits in which their work is more valuable at home than in the service, the authority will lie with a board of higher discretion. "The law providea the penalty of imprisonment with nO alternative of a fine for any official or any registered man who shall make a false return or connive at such a practice. The safe guards against favoritism or evasion are ample." 'v " Exemptions Unchanged." Exemptions from the selective draft in the army bill conference agreement were left virtually as suggested by the general staff. Those absolutely exempt include officers of the United States and any atate or territory; ministers, students of recognized di vinity or theological schools, and members of "any well recognized re ligious sect or organization at pres . ent organized, "whose "existing creed' forbids participation in war. The president is authorized to ex clude or discharge from draft the fol lowing: County and municipal officers, customhouse clerks, postal employes, workmen in navy yards or arsenals or armories; others in the federal government'! employ whom the presi dent may designate; pilots and mann ers actually employed in tea service; "persona engaged in industries, in cluding agriculture, found to be nec essary to the maintenance of the military establishment or the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of national interest ' during the emergency;" those having persons dependant upon them for sup port, and those found to be physically or morally deficient, Civil Not Military Hearings. There will be civil and not military hearings. Tribunals are to be es tablished in each county of each state, or in cities, one for each 30,000 in habitants. There afe to be three per sons on each board appointed by the ' president There will be an appeal tribunal in each federal judicial dis trict The president would be the final court of appeal.

An Antidote for . Uric Acid Poison ; (By DR. t. C. BABCOCK.) There ia process going on within the body which often poisons us. It is something like the story of the snake being able to kill itself with its own poisons. This is the formation of uric acid in excess within the body. It is a waste product which takes place in the liver. This poisonous uric acid is then passed on to the kidneys, which act as a filter to pass off and excrete thit poison. If the kidneys are clogged up, Inactive, the poison degenerates these organs and causes kidney dis ease. If it is deposited in the tissues, around the joints of the body, it causes rheumatism or gout. ' Consequently we must do every thing to throw off this uric acid poison, and simple methods are best. Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty of water between meals; a pint of hot water morning and night 18 splen did. Take Anurie (double strength) three times day for awhile, and get the kidneys to working by flushing out this poison. That painful afflic tion, known aa gout, at well as mus cular rheumatism, is caused by the uric acid crystals being deposited in the big toes or tissues. The man who uses his brain, perhaps over-taxing his nervous energy, will suffer fits of "blues," depression, headache, sleep lessness, loss of memory, all due to tne poison oi uric acid. The man who does physical work, using his muscles, occasionally complains of sluggish ness, muscular tired feeling, muscular stiffness or aches, neuraligic twinges symptoms all due tp this uric acid accumulation. In every case I advise hot water, and Anuric taken three times daily a simple, safe remedy, wnich is to be had at almost every drug store. Advertisement. Mrs. E. W. Exley of the New Ham ilton apartments has given up golf, tennis and swimming this season and will devote tier leisure time to culti vating a three-acre tract near Sixtieth and Q ttrccts. . She said she donned overalls, not to get her neighbors talking about her, but because she really believes this bi furcated garment best tervet the needs of gardening. ' "I believe there are many ways In which a woman can help her country at. this time and one of the practical ways is to help in the food conserva tion movement. I want to do my bit.

She wants to increase the total of food products this season. The three-acre tract was leased, $100 was spent for seeds, a man waa engaged to plow the land and she wilt do the sowing and culti vating, she went out the other after, noon and did some of the plowing herself, donned in overalls, and showed that she is no dilettante as an agriculturalist. Two acres will be planted in potatoes and the other acre in peas, beans onions, tomatoes and red peppers. In a runabout automo bile shi will travel every day to and from her little farm. Appreciates War Time. "When I told my husband what I was going to do, he smiled misgiv ingly, as much at to say that I had been stricken with a passing fancy and would soon give it up, hut I am going to show him that I am in ear nest. Anything that is worth while needs effort and when the harvest time shall have come it will be my time to laugh," she remarked, as she rested her horses and stood at the plow, like a modern Joan of Arc, try ing to show that a woman can appreci ate the seriousness of war time. She is a splendid swimmer, graceful skater, efficient at golf and can hold her own on the tennis courts. "Do you think that women will adopt overalls to any general extent?" she was asked. . Overalls All Right. "People might just as well begin to adjust their eyes to the sight of women in overalls, for they are going to take the place of skirts for such activities as gardening and other lines of work for women," she replied. "Overalls," she added, "are sane and sensible and I don't see why men should have any monopoly on them. I saw some overalls for women in a store yesterday. We will have i to revise some of our conventionalities, I am thinking. Comfort first and style second in this garden work Three More Norwegian Ships Are Submarined London, May 11.
