Station How the Military Draft Will Affect You Tuesday, June sth, 1917, will be Registration Day under the selective draft law. It is expected that it will give the United States Government a list of 10,000,000 men (including those who have taken out first citizenship papers) of ages ranging from twenty-one to thirty years. From this list the first 500,000 men of the new national army will be selected to begin training about September Ist. THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d gives all the available official and unofficial informa tion which throws light on the many points in the actual operation of the draft law. The article shows the questions that will be asked and how they must be answered; who must register and-where; the penalties for failing to register or for making false statements at registration whether about oneself or another person: those who arc exempt, and how exemption claims must be made. Sickness or physical disability of any kind does not excuse absence or failure to register. The Canadian Govern ment has closed the border to American citizens of military age until after Registration Day. Xo date in the history of the country is fraught with more significance than will be June sth, 1917, for on that day, as the New York Evening Mail states, "will be laid the foundation for the great bul wark that the American people have pledged themselves to build in the defense of the liberties of the world." If you would save yourself inconvenience, not to say future anxiety, be sure to buy and read THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d. The information alone which the leading article contains directly affects a great proportion of the American people. Other features of immediate interest in this number of "The Digest" are: The Peace-Terms That Socialists Favor Is "No Annexations and No Indemnities" a Device of the Enemy to Sow Discord Between Russia and Her Allies Ireland's Chance to Govern Herself Vacation Trips in America How Food-Administrator Hoover Will Win x Describing Many Points of Interest Anti-Conscription Enemies in America Italy's New Offensive Austria Fighting Off Teutonization How Roumania Was Betrayed That Active German Fleet Hindenburgitis The Scrap-Heaps of Science How Surgeons Make Over the Human Face France's Great Engineering Feat Eye-Squeezing For the Nearsighted Bees As Firemen "Dreaming True" on the Stage Furling the "Star-Spangled Banner" Duse in the Movies^ What Dr. Abbott Thinks of Billy Sunday Peace Societies Lining Up For War An Unusually Good Collection of Half-tone Illustrations, Maps and Cartoons To Test "The Digest" Is to Prove Its Worth The dictionaries define news as fresh information re- naturally befogged.

OLD AGE A CRIME! Some people are young at 60—red cheeked, ruddy and vigorous. Others i are old at 40 —joints beginning to | stiffen up a bit; step beginning to lag and lose its springiness; occasional touches of pain in the back, feel tired without cause, and possibly a twinge of rheumatic pain.

To neglect these natural warnings is a crime against yourself. If you have these symptoms you can find prompt relief in GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Cap sules.
