A Wonderful Prescription for You.

Mrs. Minnie McGregor of 612 Clement St.. Laporte. Ind., says: "Eighteen ers ago I first became acquainted with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It was durlug expectancy and I was ery frail ard delicate. But the 'Favorite Prescription' strengthened me and I had comparatively no suffering. My baby.was a strong, healthy girl and ha always been fine and healthy. For the expectant mother I think there Is noth'US to equal 'Favorite Prescription. The Pleasant Pellets' I keep In my medicine closet for immedite use and feel that I couldn't keep house without them." Pleasant Pellets for stomach, liver and bowels, are made up of the Mayapple, aloe leaves and jalap. This wellknown pelltt wu made up nearly fifty years ago, by Dr. Pierce, and can be had for a quarter from almost any apothe- ' cary simply ask for Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Telleta. Mrs. Marvey Goss of 613 South 11th St., Goshen. Ind.. says: "When I was a young girl Just coming into womanhood I suffered greatly. This caused me to become all run-down, weak and nervous. My mother gave me Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and I have never been troubled since. I married and am the mother of four strong, healthy children and I hare always taken this medicine during expectancy and afterward te give me strength, which It always did. I consider I was very fortunate in knowing of 'Favorite Prescription' as I am sure it saved ! of trouble and suffering as we'. . i would especially recommend '1; :e Prescription' to young girls jufct coming into womanhood and to expectant mothers."

NONE CAN REGISTER BY PROXY Continued from Page One) registration machinery of their respec tive states. "It should be clearly understood that no male resident of the United States between the designated ages is excused from registration unless he is already in the military or naval service of the United States: that Is. a member of. the regular army or navy, the marine corps, coast guard service or that part of the national guard now actualy in the federal service. Registration is distinct from selective service. Registration is a necessary preliminary to the later process of selection. "It is useless to ask registrars to excuse any one from registration. The registrar has no such powers. No one can suspend the law requiring all to register. Cant Be Absent. "It is important that all shall understand the significance of registration and it is hoped that the day will approached in the spirit with which the government has appointed it. Democracy is its essence. No one can absent himself, nor can the well-to-do man hire another to represent him on the occasion. The country's manhood will present Itself on this day and by so doing will say in effect: 'Here am I. Take me. "Not only has the individual citizenry of the country made a remarkable response to the registration call, but the states through their official heads have indicated such zeal that there is great rivalry among some of the commonwealths for the honor of making the first complete registration returns. Traveling Ken Too. "Many questions are asked daily at the war department concerning the registration of traveling men and other absentees. On the sixth day after the date of the president's proclamation anyone subject to registration who expects to be sent from his home on registration day should go to the clerk of the county where he may be staying. If he is in a city of over thirty thousand population the city clerk Is the official to whom to apply. The 'absentee will be told how to register and a regls- ! tration card will be filled out. Tbis card j must be mailed by the absentee so as to reach the registrar of his home prei cinct by registration day. The clerk I to whom the absentee applies is not I empowered to issue the absentee a rcgj istrafion certificate. This is issued bv the registrar in his home precinct. "Persons too sick to present themselves for registration must send a competent person to the county or city clerk on the sixth day after the date of the president's proclamation. The clerk will give instructions for registration." Information coming from Washington to the conscription boards indicate, that stringent precautions are to be taken by the government to assure t'ne registration of all men within the age limits to be prescribed In the compulsory military service act. It Is the understanding of the board that the police and county authorities will be required, under the law, under penalty of severe punishment, to report the names of any men who fall to register. Mat to Grt Publicity. Th government requires that wide publicity be given the list of names of men registered in order that citizens and the police authorities may learn whether any men of military age have failed to register. The clerks of the precinct registration places are to be required, according to the present understanding, to prepare lists of registered men in triplicate, five days after registration date. Newspapers are to be asked to publish these name?!,

In case members of the conscription board learn that any man of militaryage has failed to register, the conscrip tion bill, is to require that the board "institute prosecution before the proper United States district court. The law will make such action on the part of the board mandatory. Mayor R. O. Johnson of Gary, has announced that he will recommend to Gov. Goodrich the appointment of John A. Hrennan and the mayor's secretary, A, L. Brown, bofh republicans, and Carl Dennewitz. democrat, as members of the separate conscription board for Gary. President Kate Wood Ray of the Gary Civic Service club today said her organization had offered to aid the mayor and the war board in performing clerical work. TRAINING CAMP IN FULL BLAST AT INDIANAPOLIS (Continued from Page Ona. are from Indiana, but the list is not available. Col. Glenn says the fact that they have been turned down is no reflection on them, either from a mental or physical standpoint, and that they are entitled to just as much credit as those who got in: There is some talk of recommending another camp, so that these men may a4o be taken care of. Whether this will be done, however, is not known. Quarters Comfortable. Indiana, men have the best of the quarters at the camp at this time, but they probably will not hold them long, for when several rfgiments of regular army troops arrive at the camp the "rookies" will be turned out of their present pleasant quarters to make room for them. Indiana men are now occupying the permanent barracks of the fort, all of which aro large, comfortable brick buildings. Kentucky men are with the Indiana men .in that part of the post, while the men from Ohio and West Virginia are located in small frame shacks especially built for them on the high ground at the east side of the reservation. These shacks are comfortable, also, and that part of the camp will be as good as any. In fact, there will be two separate and distinct camps. Indiana and Kentucky beyig in one and Ohio and West Virginia in the other. Each camp will have its own separate corps of officers and instructors, and the course of instruction will be the same in both camps. P.ookies who arrived at the camp yesterday found a shortage of uniforms, and not all of them received full outfits for this reason. Some had to do without regulation hats, until a new shipment comes in. Some others had to do without other articles of uniform. But all will be thoroughly equipped within a short time. Ten Hour Days. It was the plan of the officers to take the men on a hike today, just for practice. They will go this time without arms, merely to get themselves limbered up. This will probably be done for the next few days, to work the stiffness out of their joints and to get rid of any muscular soreness. The regular dally routine schedule calls for ten hours of work each day in the week except Sunday. The ten hours included two hours of book study at night. Tho men get up at 5:15 every morning. It is a fine looking body of young men at the camp. Many remarks have been heard about the high standard of physical manhood that is gathered there, and many are the predictions that it will turn out a lot of competent officers. One of the Indiana men at the camp is Reginald H. Sullivan, city controller of Indianapolis. He tried to resign when enrolled for the camp, but Mayor Bell Insisted that he retain the title to the office until the end of the three months training, leaving a deputy in charge of the office. The salary of the office is $4,000 a year, and Sullivan gives this up to the deputy.
