Christopher, 111.—“For four years I
suffered from irregularities, weakness,
nervousness, and
was in a run down

failed to do me any
good. I heard so

and was cured. I
am no longer ner

CHAIRMAN CHAMBERLAIN OF
SENATE MILITARY COMMIT
TEE INTRODUCED BILL.
REQUEST WAR DEPARTMENT
Another Measure Introduced Would
Provide For Furloughing of National
Army Men For Handling Crops,
and Other Agricultural Duty.
Washington.—At the request of the
war department Chairman Chamber
lain of the Senate military committee
introduced a bill for the registration
tor military duty of all men who ha\
become 21 years old since June 5.
litlT, when tlie draft law went into ef
fect.
Another bill which Senator Cham
berlain introduced at the request of
the administration would provide for
furloughing national army men for
harvesting crops and other agricultur
al duty.
Another bill would put the quota of
the states on the basis of available
men in the first class instead of on
population.
In determining upon the registra
tion of men who have become ill since
the draft law was enacted, the war
department has rejected any plan to
raise the age limits of the draft to
take in men more than 31.
Registration of men who have be
come of age since the draft law was
enacted, was referred to in the recent
report of Provost Marshal General
Crowder as one of the means by w hich
a supply of men for the National Army
might be assured without taking those
who might have others dependent
upon them. It could be done also, the
provost marshal general pointed out,
by extending the age limits above the
present line of 31. The War Depart- j
ment had adopted the first suggestion. |
it is estimated that it will add about ]
700,000 men to the draft available this j
year. Congressmen have been advls- j
ed that foreign legislation will be
neccessary to perfect and carry on
; the draft and the passage of Senator
i Chamberlain's bill, with administra
tion support, is expected promptly in
both houses.
Another bill introduced by Senator
Chamberlain would provide a distinc
tive badge or button for exempted
men.
The hill changing the basis of state
I quota is believed to provide a more
equitable system, as it wrill exclude
entirely enemy aliens from the basis.
Enemy aliens were included in the
basis for the first draft, aud there was
much complaint. Heavy enemy alien
populations in some congested dis
tricts forced Americans to army duty
j regardless of exemption claims to
j make up district quotas.
The bill to permit troops to go to
agricultural work merely would au
thorize the secretary of war to fur
lough men for civilian duty. It is
known, however, that the War Depart
ment intends to use the authority
principally to provide men for harvest
time and other agricultural work vital
to the food supply.

The first test a man is put thru for

advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid—drink plenty of water—
sw’eat some daily and take Anuric, double

This An-u-rlc is a late discovery of Dr.
