EXEMPTIONS TO
HELP WORKERS
Factory Towns Probably Will
Furnish Comparatively
Few Men For Army
Washington, July 27.—Reports of
the first selection boards to fill their
quotas for the selective draft army
are eagerly awaited by Washington
officials because they will give the
first definite information as to the
,-ibable percentage of rejections to
be expected among the 10,'000,000
registrants for physical reasons or
for dependants.
All available statistics indicate a
probable rejection of one in every
four for physical disability. In par
ticular localities this will vary' great
ly. but the average fot the whole
country is expected to be between 25
and SO per cent. There is no avail
able data as to defendants, however,
or as to how many must be excused
under industrial exemptions.
It appears probable that peculiar)
results will be brought out in some!
districts. If the reasoning of some!
officials is correct, the lowest reject- j
tion and exemption rates will be dis
closed in well-to-do communities. :
such as the suburbs of large cities,
where men of comfortable incomes
make their homes. Sons of such
men, it is suggested, have had better
food, better care and better
roundings than the factory hands or
nearby towns, and they should be In
better physical condition.
As a class such young men could
hardly be regarded as indispensable,
officials say. in their civil, business or
industrial capacity, and dependants
probably will not free as many of
them from service as of most other
classes.
In factory towns, on the other
hand, the rejection rate for physical
disability probably will be high. The
fact that the men are confined six
days a week at their machines un
doubtedly will have affected their
physical condition. Virtually every
married man of those registered in
these places is the sole support of
his wife and children, and such men
cannot be taken. Also, if the tndus
try in which they are engaged is vital
to the carrying on of the war, indus
trial exemptions will run high.
Only reports from sections and dis
trict boards in typical communities,
however, can show exactly what is to
be expected. Roughly, the War De
partment has estimated that two
men must be called for every soldier
accepted, but they realize that the
returns may tell a far different story.
New War Budget May
Reach Ten Billions
Washington. July 27. The new
war budget to carry the government
through to next July and to cover
additional credits to the Allies prom
ises now to far exceed eight billion
dollars and may amount to ten bil
lions.
War Department estimates sent to
Congress call now for appropriations
of $5,278,836,000 for that branch of
the military establishment alone. Es
timates totalling another $1,000,000,-
000 or more are expected to-morrow
when the other departments report
their needs and in addition Secretary
Mc \doo has indicated that before
the year is out Congress will be ask
ed for a $2,000,000,000 appropriation
increase available for loans abroad.
\s soon as the departmental re
ports are in the appropriation com
mittees of Congress will go to work
on an immediate budget which prob
ably will total in the neighborhood
of $7,000,000,000. Meantime the Sen-,
ate finance committee, which has the
war tax bill in charge, will i eet to
morrow to consider what part of the
new expenditures is to be provided
by taxation and on what commodi
ties the new levies are to fall. The
committee hopes to have a revised
bill ready early next week.
Congressional leaders do not ex
pect to have to provide immediately
for the additional credits to the Al
lies, as Treasury officials have indi
cated that no appropriation for that
purpose will be requested until the
next session.

High Prices of Jam
to Change Army Menu

of blackberry jam are giving some
concern to officials in charge of buy

sideration is being given a change

THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Pure blood is the body's first line of
defense against disease.
Healthy blood contains small
amounts of antitoxins that neutralize
the poisons of invading germs or de
stroy the germs themselves. That is
why so many people exposed to dis
ease do not contract it. Those whose
blood is weak and therefore lacking in
defensive power are most liable to in
fection. Everybody may observe that
healthy, red-blooded people are less
liable to attacks of cold and the grip
than are pale, bloodless people.
To build up the blooa there is one
remedy that has been a household
word- for a generation, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do the rest.
Two books, "Building Up the Blood"
and "What to Eat and Hot to Eat"
give just the information that every
mother of a growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to tho
