"Somo tltno ago tho war depart ment suggested a tentative plan for the examination of all men who will bo Included In the second draft, and I have given It my approval," said the governor. "Tho suggestion was advanced by tho war department that by proceeding and examining thane subject to draft now, all cy. them would bo ready when tho call for tho draft was mado. I expect to receive word at any time that tho plan has finally been adopted, and for iib to proceed with examination and exemption work."

Seven million men In the United Statos will be affected by the plan nnd 03,000 In Oregon. All men who are subject to tho draft are to be leisurely examined by tho various boards throughout tho states.

"How would the eat look without n tallJ" No one tun guliiBay tho fact that the tall Ls a valuable orna ment. The cat without one ls a sorry sight. Hut there arc those who main tain that the tall serves the eat as a Rori of gyroscope, balancing the body In leaping, says tho Popular Science Monthly. This cannot be wholly true, for Manx cats get along very well without tails, and rabbits have no use for them at all. Vet both the Manx cats and rab bits do a lot of leaping. After all. It looks as If the tall Is only an ornament unless it Is :l kind of safety valve for expression In exciting times. Of course there tire Instances where the tall serves some purpose other than that of art. The monkey llnds bis use ful us n sort of llllli les: tho horse uses his us a lly swatter, as does the Hon; the crocodile uses his for swimming, as do Hie seal and the- turtle mid other aquatic creatures, ami the rattlesnake uses his for warning enemies. According to W. li. Matthews of the American Museum of Natui nl History, the tall was a necessary organ for the aquatic and amphibious ancestors from which the higher aiiiuuils arc descend ed. When they took to terrestrial life and to walking on nil fours the tall be came more or less superlluuus. DON'T NEGLECT A FEVER. Keep Clinical Thermometer In the Homo and Use It. Kvery home should have a thermome ter hi the household medicine closet. No family, especially where there aro children, should be without a thermom eter. The thermometer given the cor rect temperature of tho body whenever it is necessary to find out what It amy be. Tho beginning of nn Illness Is shown by tho thermometer. When ono Is well tho normal temperature U 08.0 degrees. Any rise In the temperature, especially If It reaches 100 or 101 degrees, showa there ls fever, and a physician should ho called In to treat the condition nnd find out the cause of tho fever. Children and adults having u temper uturo of over 100 degrees should re uinln indoors and In bed. It Is always dangerous to go about the house or out of tho houso when there ls any elevai' tlon of tho body temperature. 'When one suffers from a cold there may bo a temperature of 101 or even 102, and if one goes about thu house or out of doors It ls no uncommon thing for him later on to tltid himself In bed Buffering from bronchitis or pneumo nia, and death frequently results, and all from neglecting to remain Indoors when having a bad cold. Iluy u clinical thermometer and use It.
