LOCAL BOARDS TO ASSIST Warning Is Given to Prevent Au thority From Abuse or as Way of Obtaining Rchearings on Determination of Facts. To relieve hardship occasioned in a few cases where men subject to the draft have been inducted Into the mili tary service when they clearly should liave been exempted or discharged, the War Department has provided a method whereby they may be discharged by the military authorities at the mobiliza tion camp. Word to this effect was received yesterday by Adjutant-General White In a long telegram from Washingtn. Before such a discharge can be granted, it was emphasized in this telegram, it must be clearly proved to the satisfaction of the local exemption board, the district exemption board and the Adjutant-General of the state that tho man under consideration should have been exempted or dis charged. Secretary Baa Power. ' "A man already inducted into mili tary service cannot be discharged therefrom under authority of the se lective service law. but he can be dis charged by the Secretary of War under his plenary authority to discharge men from military service," explains the War Department message. "In the cases of hardships which we are now considering a discharge from military service may bo granted on the ground that the exemption or dis charge from draft should have been granted. "The military authorities cannot conveniently review the action of the selective service system on the ques tion of exemptions or discharges, and it will . be of great, convenience for the military authorities to have the decision of the local and the district boards of tho question of whether the exemption or discharge should have been granted originally." To obtain this -decision a method of procedure is prescribed by the War Department, whereby each such case is to be reopened first by the local or district board, as the case may be, after which it will be passed upon as to its merits in the regular way, final ly going to the Adjutant-General. Aim Is to Rectify Errors. Procedure under the regulations for discharge of men who have been cer tified for service, but not inducted into the Army, in cases where they should have been exempted or dis charged, also is outlined. "All concerned are cautioned that the autiiority here granted," warns the War -Department, "is intended to re lieve cases of hardship where, either through error in law or throjgn the non-culpable ignorance of the regis trant, a man has been held to service who should have been discharged or ex empted. .. S i J ' "Great - care mast be taken to se6 that this authority is not abused or used as a 'frlethod of obtaining rehear ings in cases where the only question is one of the determination of fact by the boards, or in any other da3S of cases" than thpse specified herein. "There are relatively very few of these cases and neither the military authorities at the mobilization ramp nor the Adjutants-General of the states are hereby constituted boards of review of the action of local and district boards." From a Banker A GOVERNOR of the Federal Reserve Bank recently said, "A suit of clothes should do the work of two suits now." Which means that quality in clothes is more important than ever. And quality is the watch word here; always has been. You'll find Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes at this store; they're all-wool, skillfully tailored; one such suit will do the work of two others, and you can't sur pass them for style. They're Economically Priced Suits and Overcoats $20 to 40 Our shirts, hats, neckwear, under wear are all chosen for quality in material, construction and in style. Sam'l Rosenblatt & Co.

To Relieve Catarrh Catarrhal Deafness And Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be giad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be suc cessfully treated at home by an Internal medicine that in many instances has effect ed complete relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing; restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch -was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is 'troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been tho means of saving: some poor sufferer per haps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and Is made as follows: Secure from your drurg-ist l ox- Parmlnt (double strength), about 80 cents' worth. Take this home and add to it 14 pint of hot water and 4 oz. of g-rsnuiated. sugar; stir until dissolved. Takeme tabiespoonful four times a' day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the Inflammation and swelling in the Kuntachian Tube, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any extew of secretions in the mid'lle ear. and the reHUIts it gives are near ly always quick and effective. : Every person who has catarrh in any form Bboum give mis recipe a trial.

Second, if the day has been rainy, a big fire is built In each tent and the men remove all wet clothing and dry themselves, after which all guns are cleaned, oiled and carefully put away. 9 m w Mrs. Byron E.

Man She Served for Fourteen Years Sentenced to 45 Daji In City Jail for Assaulting Iter. Portland is going to lose Mary Smith. Mary has stood before a .Portland po lice judge for the last time. A num ber of people have become interested in the case of this unfortunate woman, who at one time was well to do. and have arranged to send her "back home" to relatives in the East. Mary was before Judge Rossman again yesterday, but this time in a dif ferent role than that usually assigned to her for she appeared as complaining witness against John Foster, for whom she has served as housekeeper for It years. As she appeared in court yesterday Mary's breath did not exude bay rum, flavoring extracts, pure alcohol, Jamai ca ginger or any of the other drinks with which she has contented herself since Portland entered the prohibition column. Her story of how she bad "slaved" for Foster; of how she had begged in the streets to give him money; vof how it was he who. had started her into the drinking habit was told simply and ap parently without malice. Foster, a big. healthy-looking giant of 45. made an ineffectual effort to re fute the statements of the frail littla woman; but Mary, making the most or her one and only chance to appear in police court as prosecutor instead of defendant, stood her ground. Her reward came when Municipal Judge Rossman sentenced Foster to serve 45 days in the City Jail.- He was found guilty of assaulting the woman who had stood by him for 14 years. Mary will be sent east to her rela tives while Foster is serving his time. THIS 1917 MODEL wm LOT 1, OLD MODELS Originally Now F. & C.
