"to beat It to Canada and enlist In the Army. Then you'd have had a fine chance of getting me." Deputy Jesse was at Rainier when a message came from Sheriff E. C.

This outline of efforts required in connection wltb tbe lortneoming regis tratlon was but one of the develop menta of the session yesterday of the central registration committee of Port land with members of the draft boards. The meeting was held In the otlice of County Clerk Beveridge, with Chair man William F. Woodward presiding. Another desideratum agreed upon Is that every reglstrant-to-be, presum ably all men 18 to 21 and 32 to 45, learn his precinct number and register at the point in that precinct to be announced later. So far as possible registration booths will be maintained in former voting places, but in many instances Changes will doubtless be necessary. All men of the stipulated ages stop ping temporarily in the city and those who for any reason cannot be regis tered where they properly should, will be registered in the County Clerk's of fice, where a force will be maintained for the wurpose. Preparation la Neeesaary. Draft officials are' Impressed with the fact that this registration will be an Immense task, for which painstak ing preparation must be made.

The consolidation commission will meet here tomorrow to hear the tenta tive report to be filed by J. M. Mat thews and Fred Topken, experts, who have been working on the consolidation The weekly luncheon of the Demo cratic County central committee will be held In the blue room of the Port land Hotel at noon tomorrow. The day has been designated as "Ladles' Day," and the programme Is In -the hands of THE ENEMY OF MANKIND One of our most prominent citizens and a patriotic leader has said, "American sol diers are now to fight in the great battle against the bestial foe of America and of mankind." " The allies in this battle are fighting for humanity and civiliza tion. Any man m the United btates who at this time expresses approval or sympathy with the Kaiser should be arrested and either shot, hanged, or imprisoned for life." Not only should we execrate the man who has brought on this horrible war, but our people at home every man, woman and child must back up the war. It's our job to make the men on the battle-fronts know that everybody in America is with " our boys ! " Our "Sammies'' will go "over the top" so hard that Fritz won't know what hit him. In the attack when it's time to "buck the line" when our own boys must go "over the top," much dependence will be placed in the iron -tank. In the same way real men men with a "punch" have come to place their dependence on iron in a new form. Iron is easily assimilated within the body if taken in the form of tablets, called "Irontic." These "Irontic" (iron -tonic) Tablets were experimented with by Dr. Pierce and his assisting Phy sicians at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., and are formeu of iron and herbal extracts that are easily taken up by the blood. In every healthy body there should be fifty grains of iron, about as much as is contained in an ordinary " tenpenny" nail. By reason of lack of iron in the blood many persons are anemic, pale, thin, emaciated. By taking "Irontic " the blood corpuscles take on a rich color and the whole system feels the effect. Instead of feel ing dulj, dumpish, blue, " nerves on edge," tired before your work is half done, you feel rejuvenated. Fresh blood, tich in iron, courses thru your body. You have "pep," vim, vigor and vitality. "Irontic" feeds the nerves on rich, red blood, and men have the steady nerves, the wallup, the fighting force. These "Irontic" tablets are to be had in sixty-cent vials at most drug stores. If you wish to test them send ten cents to the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., and get a trial package. Try them now! Your appetite improves, you feel bright, buoyant and happy. : : ; Adv. . tents of the report are tetng withheld until the commission meets, and it has not been definitely announced whether the commission will hold a secret session.
