Washington, July 12 ?Drawing of
lots for tiie j*..'ective draft not onij
will determine wSat nce.i ire to be
caiir?d to th? ;*clor Jn the first war
army but will show in what order the
others registered will be liable for
service when later armies are organized.
It was revealed tonight that a plan!

wihich a definite place in the waiting
lists will be given every one' of the
millions who registered. Those standing
at the head of the list in each
county or city district will he called
first before the examination boards
and then the obligation will pass on
down the line as long as men are
needed.
This does not mean that a separate
name or number will be drawn for
every one of the country's 9,800,000
registrants. In fact, every number
drawn, under the theory of the plan,
will represent more than 4,000 men,
one for each of the registration districts.
Details of the system have not
been made public, but an outline of i'.3
principal feature follows:
To Go by Numbers.
Every registration board has num
bered cards in its possession iui
red ink, beginning at No. 1, and con-j
tinning to a number corresponding;
with the total in the district.
At the drawing numbers will be used
ranging from one up to a number
sorresponding to the total in the largest
district of the country. The first
number drawn will detrmine what
man in each district is to be taken
first. If it be No. 10, for exabple, :t
will mean that the man in each di3-j
trict holding card no. 10 will be called
for examination before any of the |
? ?? * ?? nriia QQA.i

ond number drawn will tetermine what j
man in each district is to be taken.
secondhand so on as long as the men|
nre needed. Those not needed for the
first war army will retain their posi-!
tions on the lists and these positions;
wiil determine the order of their 11a-!
bility when they are needed.
The drawing will be public andj
each number will be announced as it'
is drawn. *
Obviously there will be high numbers
drawn for which there are no
-corresponding registrants in small districts.
The smallest district in the
4 A A J 4- Viatta "Knf
-eouniy is uuuersiwu tu uatc uut|
K7 registrants and the largest 7,000.
Whenever a number beyond the total
ia any given district comes out, it
\fill operate as a blank for that district.
Thus, if the theory works out
evenly, the larger districts will be'
constantly assessed in excess of the
mailer, on a pro rata basis corre.
folding to their size.
. * Drawing Next Week,
The drawing will not take place this
w?ek and probably will be held some
time during the week of July 23, according
to present indications. Only
24 states have completed the organiza-tioa
of their exemption boards and
ike posting of red ii*k numbers.
The drawing probably will be held
ia the big reception room of the war
department, adjoining Secretary Bather's
offices.. The secretary is willimg
to do the drawing himself, but thai
wint has not been decided. The president
will not take part personally in
.ike drawing.
ttnwi'llimcr fn Hic/"*IaQP i
(Jliiviais aic UILTTni'uj, i.v
tke details of the drawing itself, but
suggestion which seems to hare
t?e most support is that the numbers
rtamped on thin slips of paper, be inclosed
in nontransparent gelatine capsules
and placed in a large glass vessel
to be removed one at a time by
the official designated to do that work.
Information so far available indi
rates that the drawing will work out
in this. way.
First to Appear.
There are 4,500 exemption districts.
V/hen the first number is drawn, say
No. 10 it "will be recorded as No. 1,
v.'ith the serial number (lfN following.
The record will show that the men
whose cards bear the serial No. 10 in
each of 4,500 exemption districts:
would be first to appear before the
-exemption boards. Presumably the
announcement made at the drawin
would be "No. 1?serial No. 10." It i
assumed that when the drawing i
complete the government will com
mite how many men are represent
ed by No. 1, in the drawing and th
number immediately succeedin,
and will issue orders for enoug
to report to make the total desire
for the first army. For instance, th
first call might be for No. 1, to 10
in all districts. When the first es
emption came in each distri-ct, No. 10
would be called and so on.
To prevent embarrassment alon;
those who are exempt the war depart
ment has decided to give with eaci
exemption certificate a bronze badg
bearing the inscription "Exempts
U. S."
The law specifies that exemptions ar
not permanent unless the cause fo
which they are granted is permanent
For instance, if a man should be ex
empted on the first call because of ;
nt-tTT/t nn/1 + VlO + rolgtivi

should die or become self-supportinj
before the second call, the registrar
would be liaMe for service.

is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system ia good condition,
is the aerras are the source

Bonner, (25 N. lith St., Birmingham,,

"I hare been suffering with nervous
prostration for nine or tea
years. Hare tried many of the best
doctors in Bifminfltam, but they all
failed to reach mj case. I would
feel as if I was smotheriag; finally
I went into coaruisioas. My little
girl saw
Dr. Miles' Nervine
advertised in the papers and I at
once began to take It. I continued
to take it for socat time and now I
am well."
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need something
to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realiie what is the matter
with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Mile*' Nervine 8
has proven its value in nervous disorders
for thirty years, and merits
a; trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
