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

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. Before eating breakfast each cr
morning drink a glass of real hot w
water with a teaspoonful of limeStone
phosphate in it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous sii
day's accumulation of poisons and

Those who are subject to sick head- '

others who wake up with bad taste, M
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiffcess,
or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a^iuarter ?
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
Internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make t
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.

Baker said, followed much the lines th
taken by Gen.' March, chief of staff, T1
and Provost Marshal General Crowd- pr
er The committee, he added, did [ M;
not indicate any disposition toques- sp
tion the necessity for the change,
which is urged so that the War Department
can quickly get the men
necessary to win the war.
"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.

ir secretary, "that no fixed policy
d been determined upon by the de.rtment,
but that the purpose was to
low the president to defer in class 1
e call of the youngest men. I have
ways considered, as you perhaps
member, that 19 was theproper
inimum, and I have come to the 18
inimum only because it seems necesry
to get the men."
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.
Letters urging the prompt enactent
of the bill were received today
' Senator Chamberlain and also
Chairman Dent of hte house comittee
from Governor Manning of
iuth Carolina:
"Permit me to urge calling to- .
ther your committee and urge
ompt passage of draft amendent"
Governor Manning said. "The

dedicated its service flag Friday afternoon
in a ceremony marked with
impressive simplicity. Despite the
warm weather, a capacity audience
attended. Many persons from Abbeville
were present.
' The occasion was inaugurated by
J the singing of' America." Then
Rev' J. L. Daniels of Abbeville, offered
prayer, after which Rev. Clotfelter,
of Antreville, read the Twenty-fourth
psalm. Following the scripture
reading and prayer, a choir of
selected voices sang "Tenting Tonight
on the Old Camp Grounds."

conducted by Rev. H. D. Corbett,
the pastor. While the choir rendered
the "Song to the Flag," two little
girls, dressed in the white gowns
and Red Cross caps of war nurses,
walked up the aisle to the platform,
bearing the large service flag. Rev.
Corbett then made an address of
presentation. It was cause for just
pride ,he stated, that Long Cane
Presbyterian Church had one of the
largest Honor Rolls in the State. In,
