Under the regulations, this* appeal does not act as a stay against their being sent to a training camp, and in the opinion of those best informed in the procedure there is very little probability that the appeal will reach the president's attention, to say nothing of the possibility of the district board being overruled.

Foresight Made Him Rich.. One docs not havo to hvein a large town to find an opportunity to make a fortune. The opportunities are everywhere. It is only the man with his eyes open who sees them. Druggist, Dimmitt of Rochester, Mo., who remembered the demand for quinine dur- j lng the Civil war. had his eyes open,' for he bought 10,000 ounces of quinine a little more than a year ago at 14 cents an ounce. Ills judgment proved correct, for the quinine that cost him $1,400 is now worth $25,000, and It may go higher. He has had nothing to do with increasing the price. It is the demand that is putting it up. A philanthropist might argue that it is a crime to make money out of the necessities of the sick; but philanthropists who refuse to turn an honest penny when the op portunfty offers are few and far between. Some of them do not indulge in philanthropy as a recreation until they have accumulated a large surplus . by squeezing the lust cent of profit from every transaction. In the meantime the Dlmmitts of big towns and little ones are doing their best to qualify themselves for behevolence by making hay while death wields the scythe.
