Washington.—To facilitate the work
of raising the military forces called
for by the army draft law. now in
effect, the war department has Issued
the following letter of instruction, by
which all officials connected with the
duty will be governed:
The approval of the new national
army bill and the president’s proclama-
tion thereunder have been coincident.
All persons within the age limits pre-
scribed are required to present iliein-
selves for registration at the customary
voting places in the voting precincts
in which they have their permanent
homes, on a day which the president
will announce.
There vvfis a tbnp In the country’s
history when military enumerators,
hacked by bayonets, went out among
the people to tube a compulsory serv-
ice census. Today, under the principle
of universal liability to service, 11 it* ex-
ecution of the law is put into tlie
j hands of the people.
The governor of each state is Ihe
| chief of registration therein. The nrn-
[ chlnery of registration in each county
is in charge of the sheriff, the county
J clerk, and the county physician, aet-
! hig ex officio, unless n different board
shall be announced by the governor. In
! dtles containing popular Ions of more
j than 30,000, the registration will be
under the control of the mayor and se-
lected boards of registration. In order
that the designated county and city
officials, and the people generally, can
get n clear understanding of the cen-
sus methods the following brief out-
line Is given:
The sheriffs, or other designated offi-
cials. immediately upon receiving no-
tice from the governor, shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.

If, for instance, all nton between
nineteen and twenty-five years of age,
inclusive, ate to be registered, the reg-
istrar would have to enroll about 7
per cent of the precinct population.
It is desirable to accept .the services
of competent volunteer registrars to
serve without compensation. All reg-
istrars must be sworn.

I. THE ABIDING LIFE (vv. 1.4).
Fnder the figure of the vine Jekus
t> itches spiritual trinb by natural
analogy. The vino is composed of '
roots, stern, branches, tendrils, and
fruit. There Is no separate life: the
branches are one with the vine. Christ
Is the head of that body which is the |
church to its least member. The life '
lived by the Christian Is Christ’s life
humanized, the purpose of which is
fruit bearing. Discipline Is in order !
to fruitfulness. “He (My Father, the
vine-dresser) cuts away any branch on ;
me which is not bearing fruit, and
cleans every branch which does bear j
fruit, to make it bear richer fruit”
(Moffat’s translation). Paul tells us
that “no chastening for the present
seemetli to be joyous but grievous:
nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby.”
The Word is the cleansing agent (17:
17). Verse four suggests a double ;
abiding—we in him, and he in us—
the branch depending upon the vine
for life, and the vine depending upon
the brnncli for fruit. Jesus had just
been talking about his approaching
death, and his disciples were full of
Backache
In spite of the beat care one takes
of on >lf, any part, of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are theseavengersand they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in-
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head-
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
“The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health,”
says Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., “is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Ariiirie, which is dispensed by
almost ever)- druggist.” Anuric is inex-
pensive arid should be taken before m&ds.

Against Fly Poisons
Following Is an extract from “The

Supplement No. 29 to the Public
It Health Reports, April, 1916.
“Of other fly poisons mentioned,
j mention should tie made, merely for
a purpose of condemnation, of those
|= composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of
H poisoning of children through the
use of such compounds are far too
frequent, itud owing to the resem-
l-i biaiice of arsenical poisoning to
summer diarrhea and cholera in-
fantum. It Is Itelieved that the cases
reported do not, by any means, com-
prise the total. Arsenical fly-de-
stroying devices must be rated as
extremely dangerous, and should
never be used, even if other meas-
ures are not at hand.”

he may appoint a central board to co-

On the fifth day after the president
has issued Ids proclamation, clerks of
counties and eitios of over 30.000 must

shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you” (v. 7). Our first fruit
is to glorify God (v. 8). The vine does
; not consume the fruit which it pro-
duces, though it does exist for its pro-
duction. thus glorifying God through
its fruit-bearing function. The Bible
uses many figures to illustrate the in-
timate relationship between root and
fruit. “Without me,” emphasizes
Christ, “ye can do nothing.” The
“word” of verse three is equivalent to
the word “I” of verse four. “Now ye
are clenn through the word which 1
have spoken unto you” (v. 3). Our
fruit bearing is for God’s glory be-
cause it is an expression of his grace
and power, and it is made possible
through our identification with his
dear son. Our fruitfulness attests out
Christian character. We have not yet
attained perfection in our conduct, but
we are making progress. Progressive
deliverance from the power of sin is
counterbalanced by corresponding
fruitfulness.
III. The Permanent Life (vv. 0-13).
“Fruit,” “more fruit.” “much fruit.”
Even ns the life of Christ has increas-
ingly manifested itself through the
ages, so our individual lives are to
increase in the fruitfulness which as-
similates them to his character and
expresses bis graces. As the F’uthcr
has loved him. so has he loved us, and
this love he communicates to those
who abide in him. The evidence of
our abiding is manifested by our joy
In keeping his commandments, just as
be delighted in keeping his father’s
commandments. Obedience and joy
are correlated terms. The fuller the
obedience tlie greater the joy. Bush-
noil said: “Heaven is nothing but the
Joy of a perfectly harmonized being
filled with God and his love.” Instead
of minute, detailed instructions re-
garding their conduct, the disciples
nre here presented with love, the gov-
erning principle. Love was to he tht
one sufficient impulse for both divine
and human relationships. Our Lord
would have the world know his serv-
ants by the fruit they bear.
Three things nre mentioned ns re-
sulting from the abiding life; power
to benr much fruit; transform lives
and change circumstances through an-
swered prayer; and fullness of joy—a
“joy unspeakable and full of glory.”
The world with its poor counterfeits
has nothing like it to give, hut all of
these gifts nre contingent upon ottr
“abiding” in Christ, the source of ev-
ery blessing. The personal pronouB
suggests peculiarly intimate relation-
ships; “My Father.” (vv. 1. 8. 10);
“My love,” (v. 9); “My disciples,” (v
8); “My commandments,” (v. 10);
‘My joy,” lx. 11).

Canadian Farmers
Profit From Wheat
The war’s devastation of
European crops has caused
an unusual demand for grain
from the American Conti-
nent. The people of the world must
be fed and wheat near $2 a bushel
offers great profits to the farmer.
Canada's invitation is therefore
especially attractive. . She wants
settlers to make money and happy,
prosperous homes for themselves by
helping her rai. e immense wheat crops.
You can get a Homestead of 160 acres FREE
and other lands at remarkably lew prices. During many
years Canadian wheat field 3 have averaged 20 bushels to
the acre rnanv yields as high as 45 bushels to the acre.
