DRAFT CONTINGENT
TO ACT AS CLERKS
Limited Service Selectives to
, Be Inducted for Service
With Boards.
OTHER DUTY WILL FOLLOW
Assignment Announced as Coming in
January Furnishes Ground for
Speculation; Jobs Held
by Women Secure.
Limited service selectives fitted for
the work, ?( In number, are to be in
tember 14 and assigned to clerical
tasks in the various draft boards of
Oregon.
In a general way the order proraul
gating this induction of men contem
plates that one of them shall be as
signed to each district board, medical
advisory board and local board. Many
of the smaller local boards are not ask
Ing for and will not have these extra sol
dier clerks. It is provided that the
extra men may be apportioned to the
snore important boards on direction of
Captain J. E. Cullison, ctate draft exec
utive. Other Datles. Will Follow.
"On and after January I, 1919, the
enlisted personnel herein authorized
will be assigned to other military
duty." says the order from the office
of the Provost Marshal-GeneraL
This statement furnishes ground for
speculation. The' prevailing belief is
that these men are to be trained in
clerical work connected with the draft
'so they may be taken to Washington
the first of the year, there replacing
enlisted men who will be sent for over
seas duty. One guees is that they will
be sent into the Spruce Production Di
vision headquarters in Portland for the
aame purpose.
It devolves upon Captain Cullison to
select the men for induction under this
call. The local boards recently fur
nished his office with lists of their lim
ited and special service men fitted 'for
clerical work. Inductions will be or
dered from those lists. The men will
be entrained for Vancouver, Wash.,
and will carry letters from Captain
Cullison assigning them to the town
and board for which they are to work.
Young Womea Reassured.
Captain Cullison, as military officer
at state draft headquarters, is to be'
come commanding officer of these lim
ited service soldiers. Only to a limited
extent will they be amenable to mili
tary discipline. They will draw the
usual pay, with allowance for quarters
and subsistence of something more
than $55 a month.
Most of the clerks and chief clerks
of draft boards in this state are young
women. They looked askance at the
new proposal at first, under the im
pression that this was a plan to re
place them in their present Jobs. Now
that It is definitely promised that the
soldier clerks are to be assigrned to
other duty excitement over the order
tiaa subsided.

Edgar Selwyn's play, "Pierre of the

this picture adaption is still more so
because of the ability of the motion

The combination of popular star, fine
story and excellent production make
this a picture of unusually good en
tertalnment. the kind to attract me
public to any theater.
Miss Ferguson, wnose Deauty, cnarm
and magnetism have given her a big
following during the past year, is seen
in a role that Is distinctly different
from those she has- been playing of
late.- She handles the part of Jen. a
typical girl of the great outdoors, with
the same ability for registering dra
matic situations - that has made hex

hero and does his share towards mak

The picture strives for the sensational

"His Friend's Wife," a title promis

double-bill offering, with Monroe Salis
bury Jn "The Guilt of Silence" and
William Russell in "Up Romance
Road"
"The Guilt of Silence" is one of the
most, magnificent snow pictures ever
made. Blizzards and huge snowdrifts
which defy man, with his snowshoes
and wallowing dog-trains, furnish the
background for a story of high-powered
melodramatic action. Salisbury is
"Silent" Smith, a chap who is accused
of crimes galore and unable to defend
himself because he cannot speak and
presumably cannot write. But In the
end he recovers his speech and con
founds his enemies, at the same time
winnning a bride, a role played by
Ruth Clifford. .
"Up Romance Road' 'is another pic
ture full of action, with Russell in the
role of a young society chap - who
stages an elopement to break the mo
notony of existence; has his girl stolen
from him by German spies and recovers
her and foils an effort to wreck some
of Uncle Sam's shipping. . Charlotte

MRS. KING SIMS
PAINTING HOUSE
Does Own Work Since Tanlac
Has Built Her Up So'
Wonderf ully.
"Tanlac has done me more good than
any medicine I ever took in all my life,
and It Is just building me up fine every
day," said Mrs. Hortense King, of 267
Halleck street, the other day.
My health began to fail about ttno
years ago, epe continued, . with nerv
ousness and loss of appetite. Worry
about the fate of my little eon, whom I
left with my mother In Belgium Just
before the war broke out, helped to
pull me down, for I have never heard a
word from either from that data to
this. My system was so badly run
down that I could hardly keep going.
Last May I was operated on and have
been back to the hospital twice since
then. I had such an awful misery in
my back that I could hardly get out of
my chair and my nerves were In such
a . wretched condition that the noise
made by the children playing almost
drove me distracted. I rested so poor
ly at night that many a time I would
go back to bed soon after getting up
in the morning, for I felt too weak and
miserable to stay up. My tongue was
coated all the time, I was badly consti
pated, suffered with spells of dizziness
and my head ached like it would burst
'wide open. I had to force down every
mouthful and I lost sixteen pounds in
weight.
'After finishing my first bottle of
Tanlac my appetite picked up so that
I could eat five or six big slices of bread
at a meal, with other things in propor
tion. Everything agrees with me fine,
I gained three pounds on my first bot
tle and am still gaining right along.
Those awful pains in my back are gone.
I never have a headache and am strong
enough to. do all my housework, in
cluding the washing. ' Why, I have ac
tually ettrted painting my house, doing
the work myself, and I believe I am
going to make a good job of it, too.
My nerves don't worry me now .and I
leep like a baby all night. -J am going
to keep on with' Tanlac as long as it
continues to do me as much good as it
is doing now."
