"BULLET PROOF" JOBS ARE CLOSED TO DRAFTED MEN Baker Issues New Ruling Hitting the Soft Jobs at Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. So-called "slacker commissions" by which men of draft age seek to escape service In the ranks and get officers' places in
non-combatant branches of the army have struck a snag in two general policies laid down by. Secretary of War Baker. That there is a large number of such slackers, protected by political influence, la a charge which is becoming more and . more persistent, x Mr. Baker, alive to the situation, has laid down these two general policies for future guidance of his subordinates: 1. Men of draft age shall not be" commissioned for non-combatant service unless it shall be clearly established that they are better fitted for special work than available civilians beyond draft age. 2. Army functions that can be performed efficiently by civilians shall not be placed on a military footing by commissioning men needed to do the work. Shielded by Commissions The problem of commissions in the various staff departments of the army that have to do with the supply lines, transportation, construction and a hundred other non-combatant functions of the service is a difficult one. There have been numerous cases of young men of draft age who have obtained commissions and therefore are exempt from the selective service law under which the fighting troops are being mobilized. It is the desire of Secretary Baker,
apparently, to keep this element of the commissioned personnel of the army at a minimum in justice to the
great body of drafted men.
The policy is founded on the theory that there are older men in civil life.
well fitted for the special duties required, to whom such commissions could be given, leaving the men of draft see to the operations of the law.
Mr. Baker's ruling applies particularly to Inspection of materials man ufactured or roduced for the army. ' Food, clothing, tentage, and thousands ' of other Items, it is held, could be inepected as well by a civilian as by an - officer. Police to Aid Draft Every police official In the country will become a part of the great machine organized for bulhjjng the na"i tional army, under war department
r Marshal General Crowder. Postal au-
. monties also win piay an active part in helping to carry out the new regulations and the department believes that with the aid of these two agencies local exemption boards will be
greatly assisted in registering the men
: and getting them to the training camps as they are called.

Persimmon Pudding Becoming Popular PETERSBURG, Ind., Not. SO. Persimmon puddings are becoming quite common in this part of the. state, and many persons are gathering persimmons, and putting them away for future use. They can be dried and are almost as palatable as dates. The trees are loaded, and after a bushel is picked one can hardly miss them from the trees. The early frosts damaged the late variety, but early persimmons have not been better than they are this year.

CONSTIPATION IS A PENALTY OF AGE
Nothing la so essential to health in advauicing agat as fredom and normal activity of the ' bowels. It makes one feel younger and fresher, smd forestalls colds, piles, fevers, and pther dependent ills. Cathartics and purgatives are violent and drastic in action and should bo avoided. A mild, effective laxative, recommended by physicians and thousands who have used it, is far preferable. This is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the nam of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle; a, trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 436 Washington St-, Monticello Illinois.

A Great Change
Enters Into Life of Storekeeper
A certain unassuming gentleman In this city who happen b to be a prominent dealer In furniture and who up
to a few weeks ago had become a recluse because of Mb physical condition tells this remarkable and most interesting tale: "For a number of years," he said, "I have been so closely confined to, my business working zealously to make my store representative In every respect that wear and tear finally got me, my face became drawn and haggard and my disposition seemed to urge people to evade me. it was then that I began to despise my own company. My bookkeeper who has been with me a long time one day suggested that I needed a rest and that my nerves required attention. She told me that her father had been in the state of health which I was expert
encing and that be had taken Phos-j
pnaiea iron. jook ai mm now, sne said. 'He work9 ten hours a day and appears to be the happiest man in the world which he believes he is, he says. "All this happened less than a month ago. I followed the advice and look at me now. Back in the harness with a smile all the while. I am feeling more fit than ever. When I see a tired looking face the name of Phosphated Iron immediately comes in my mind. I am convinced that it is converting many a worn out body into a life rich in thought, ambition and enthusiasm." Special Notice To insure physicians and patients receiving the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put up in capsules only so do not allow dealers to substitute pills or tablets, insist on the genuine in capsules only.
