WIFE TOO Ill

Her Health Restored byLydia
E. Pirtkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Indianapolis, Indiana. - "My health
was so poor and my constitution so run
down that I could
not work. I was
thin, pale and weak,
weighed but 109
pounds and was in
bed most of the
time. I began tak-
ing Lydia E. Pink -
ham's Vegetable
Compound and five
months later I
weighed 133 pounds.
I do all the house-
work and washing for eleven and I can
truthfully say Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound has been a godsend
to me for I would have been in my grave
today but for it. I would tell allgwo-
men suffering as I was to try yourvalu-
able remedy."—Mrs. WM 'GEaaN, 332
8, Addison Street, Indianapolis,Indiana.
There is hardly a neighborhood in this
country, wherein some woman has not
found health by using this . good old-
fashioned root and herb remedy.
If there is anything about which you
would like special advice, write to the

Militar
CANADA
Explanatory Announcerne t by t
Minister 4..*'f Justice
HE MILITARY SERVICE ACT hos received the assent of the
Governor-General and is now part of the law of the land. It will be
enforced accordingly, and the patriotism and good sense of the
people can be relied upon to support it. Resistance to its enforcement,
howeverby word or act must and will be repressed, as resistance to any
other law in force must be.
Reinforcements under the Military Service Act
immediately required
It is the intention of the Government immediately to exercise the
power which the Act confers and to call out men for military service in
order to provide reinforcements for the Canadian forces. This is neces-
sary since the military authorities report that the reserves available or
in sight for reinforcement will shortly be exhausted unless this step be
taken. `
° First call limited to men between 20 and 34 who were
unmarried or widowers without children on
July b, 1917
The present call will he Iimited to men not in the schedule of excep-.
tions•tvho were unmarried or widowers without children on 6th July,1917;
are at least twenty ycats of age, and were born on or since January 1st,
1883. Of this Class all those will be entitled to conditional exemption
whose services in their present occupations, agricultural, industrial or
other, are essential in the national interest, and whose business or domes-
tic reponsibilities are such that serious hardship would ensue if their
services be required. Conscientious scruples based upon a prohibition
of combatant service by the articles of faith of the religious denomination
to which men belong will also be respected. The men first required to
nerve will consequently be those who can he called upon with the least
disturbance of the economic and sot!al life of the country.
Civil Tribunals to deal with exemptions
Questions of exemption will be determined, not by the military
authorities or by the Government, but by civil tribunals composed of
representative men who are familiar with local conditions in the com-
munities in which they serve, who will generally have personal knowledge
of the economic and family reasons which those whose eases come before
them have had for not volunteering their services and who will he abbe
sympathetically to estimate the weight and importance of such reasons.
Provincial Appellate Tribunals constituted from the existing judiciary of
the respective provinces wilt be provided to correct mistakes made by
Local Tribunals, and a Central Appeal Tribunal for the whole of Canada;
selected from among the present Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada;
will be constituted in order that identical principles may be applied
throughout the country, In this way every man may rest assured of the
fair and full consideration of his circumstances and the national require
wants both civil and military.
Proclamation wilt announce the day
A proclamation will issue calling out the bachelors and widowers
referred to and fixing a day on on before which every man must report for
•service to the military authorities unless he has before that day made an
application for exemption.
How to apply for exemption
Applications for exemption may be matte by written tootle° on forms
which will be available at everypost office, and will be transmitted free
Of postage. They will not, however, be required to be made in this way;
but may be presented by the applicants in person to the exemption trio
btmals. The cases of triose who have given written notice in advance
will ,take precedence, and appearance iii person will therefore be likely to
involve considerably more inconvenience and delay to the men con-
cerned, so Chet it is rgcommetlded that advantage be generally tam of
the facilities for written application.
•
Ottawa; Septt;mter 13 4 1917.
Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada
The local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay
possible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to
compose them, and theinstructioii of the members in their duties. There
will be morethen one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each
consisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint
Committee of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the
existing Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of
tribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than
one place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in
obtaining the disposition of their cases.
A Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named
in the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each
Provincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appli-
cations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sit-
tings, and men who have sent these in will not be required to attend the
tribunals until notified to do so. Other applicants should attend per-
sonally on the tribunal without: notice.
How to report for service
Men who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military
authorities for service either by mail or in person at any time after the
issue of the proclamation. Forms of report by mail will be found in all
post offices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free
of postage.
Early report advantageous
No man who reports for service will, although he may be medically
examined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or join a battalion
until after e day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of
the disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the applica-
tions for exemption which may come before them. Thus no advantage
will be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for
service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption.
Facilities for immediate medical examination
Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will
sit at every mobilization centre for the examination of men who report
for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply
for exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to
allay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and
in advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required,
Certificates of physical unfitness issued by these Medical Boards will be
accepted without any further investigation by exemption tribunals when
they sit. Men found physically fit who have not reported for service
may nevertheless apply for exemption on any of the prescribed grounds,
including even their physical condition if dissatisfied with the Medical
Hoard's conclusion.
Notice to join the colors
As reinforcements are required, notice to report to the nearest mobil-
