BAKER DISCLOSES w, PLAN CONSIDERED ha * r pa all Men Man Not Have to Claim Exemption, But Have Status Fixed. ^ Washington, Aug. 9.?New draft regulations under which the Govern- re i ment would do the selecting rather m' k than the leaving it to the registrant mi i are under consideration by the War sa i Department This was disclosed to' day by Secretary Baker after he had ^ appeared before the Senate Military j Committe to urge prompt enactment i co of the new selective service act ex- j on tending the age limits to include all an men between the ages of .8 and 45. or The war secretary made it plain that he is not satisfied with the pres- m' ent system under which the regis- by trant must claim deferred classifica- by tion, as many men with dependents mi hesitate for patriotic reasons to make Sc such "claims. In this connection mr. | Baker said, he was inclined to thefSe opinion that the marriage relation Pr will in itself constitute deferred class- mi ification. co What Mr. Baker has in mind is to th lay down a set of questions which e* the registrant would answer and then St hare rules which would take care of fo x the classification. He is understood nc to regard this as the fair and equit- I able system. ca The discussion on the draft ages loi before the Senate committee, Mr. th 1| m vi iiwfc nnwi oiiw 1 phosphate prevents illness jhi ? and keeps us fit. j m Just as coal, when it burns, leaves W behind a certain amount of incom- ,, bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not completly olimina- SI ted from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria i which infest the bowels. From this [ sp bulbs of left-over waste, toxins and | ptomain-like poisons are formed and ! sucked into the blood. re Men and women who can't get feeling right must begin to take inside baths.

"There was some discussion", Mr. V1 . v Baker said, "as to whether it was the intention of the department to ex ' tend the work or fight order to include classes of persons in vavrious ^ preferential accupations. I told ^ them there was no present change of the work or light order in contempla- j tion. I said that when I decided the, baseball case I thought perhaps other j ^ . forms of. amusement and entertain-j ' merit might require an extension of j v-the order to be on a parity with the j - baseball situation. But that was not Cc ' in their mind. ' i , "They had heard frohi outside a*1 sources that the department was con- j sidering bringing preferential classes, j dr I like lawyers, newspaper men and others who were not actually engaged in producing war supplies, under the sp * order." - ' - an The committee, Mr. Baker contin-| ued, was especially interested in the | M< effect of he extension of the draft age | Mi on collets and also in the question | as to whether young men from 18 upj sp would be drawn indiscriminately in A1 Class 1 or placed in a deferred class by age and drawn later, giving them th some added months to come to matur-j Je ity. , "I told the commiteemen," said the j M ======== Gl - K; I Not a Bite of h Breakfast Until j?

Because of the committee's visit to e war council, Chairman Chamberin announced no meting of the mmitte will be held tomorrow, but e will be held next Monday, when i effort will be made to reach a favable report on the bill.
