A fact that has almost entirely es

only to be expected and not wise to

Let the food and famine conditions

VTOME.V OF amepjca:
! (By Amelia. Josephine Burr of he
Vigilantes)
Germany'* weariness of war is a
: challenge to our souls. We have en
rolled under the standard of Liberty
and Truth. We have given those of
our own t!ood and our kindred of the
heart. Can we ever be deceived into
a willingness to compromise with the
spirit that has enslaved a nation and
tried to enslave the world? We are
enjoined to forgive unto seventy times
seven—but we are also toid that the
sin against the Holy Spirit admits of
no forgiveness. What is that sin. if
it is not the fruit of th; Hohenzollern
ideal ? The German nation was made
up of human beings in whose con
sciences God spoke. What has the
Hohenzollern ideal made of those
human beings.’ Ask the women and
children of France and Belgium.
Ask the Foies, the Seres the Ar
meniaris—those who are left. Ask
the Allied soldiers who know how
pr-seners five in Germany—and in
what state they leave their prisons.
Ask the women of Germany, com
pelled to be brood-animals that the
gaps in the Imperial army may be
filed * wer.ty vears hence (you un
derstand what that means” One o'
King Constantine's generals said
frankly. If Germany can get any
kind of a peace now, in twenty years
;r.t can finish what she has begun,
and sue will make none of the m:s
'akes then that sh* has made now.")
Ask the statesmen of the Imperial
Government, who break international
law without a qualm hut lack the
courage of the common criminal who
does not complain when a tithe of
his own methods are used against
him
If the cid saying is true that it .s
into the hearts of women that war.
cuts deepen, we ian prove it new by
a great wave of increased service,
w itness our solemn thanksgiving that
the President has reiterated formal
y his announcement of July Fourth,
that no peace could be made w;;h the
spirit of Prussian despotism. In the
face of the terrible cost cf victory
yes. because cf that cost!—let us
pray to our government and to our
armies Keep on—spend more—

Then we shall know that not a tear

HAVE YOU FULLY
RECOVERED FROM
THE INFLUENZA?
Li*e AM Forms cf the Grip Its Effect*
Semetime* Pers.st for Months
and a Tonis is Needed
Now that it has b««r. definitely de
1 cided that Spanish influenza is but a
' form of the grip it is clear that the
measures so generally found necea
' sary ia budding up the system to re
move the after-effects of grip are just |
as much needed in cases where a fuJ<
recovery of health does r.ot follow
I the abatement of the acute symptoms
i of influenza.
! Influenza in all its forms leaves the
' blood thin and im p rove res hed and un- ;
til the blood is made rich and red and <
full strength and weight are restored
the recovery is incomplete.
This was true in the case of Mr.
I William Farweii of dS5 Mam stree*.
! Claremont. N. K. He says:
| ‘I had a severe attack of the grin
* and suffered from the after-effects for
about six months. My appetite was
poor, my kidneys were in bad condi
tion and my liver was torpid. I was
: tired ai! the ::m‘ ar i had no ambi
tion. At limes I cou. i net wera t r
a day or two.
“1 read of Dr. tV.Iliams' Pir.k Pills
: in a newspaper and decided to try
them After taking the pills for i
weed I began to fee: better and cm
• tmued to fake them for about three
weeks. At the end of the treatment
I was entirely recovered and now I
fee! better than I have felt ir. a long
time.
‘-r cheerfully recommend the rent
ed’. to all who are afflicted as I was.
for I consider tha' it has helped me
wonderfully."
The debility tha: invariably follows
the grip is not a disease of am ore
organ. It is a general condition of
unfitness. It mist fce met by .a rem
edy. whose good results will be quick
ly generalized throughout the er.t:.
system In fact it must be corrected
by building up the blood which, when
rich and red. carries renewed health
and strength to every part of the
body.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
i
Flush Ycur Kidneys Occasionally If
You Eat Meat Regularly
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake bv
‘ flushing the kidneys occasionally. :
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste ar.d
poisons from the blood, then, you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches. liver trouble, nervousness. [
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, 1
' bladder disorders come from sluggisu
kidneys.
The moment you fee! a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of |
sediment, irregular of passage or at- ■
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a!
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. Th's
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure, makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
ar.d then to keep the kidneys clean

tell you. r lost tha* service card

month of August. I wish you would
let him know about it if you please
Well. Mr. Heffemar. we are raising
hell with the Germans just ‘ now
where 1 am. We are fighting on
German soil at present and they are
askinc for peace but I don't think
they will get it because we are going
to make them fight to the end Re
lieve me. they are catching hell at
present on ail sides. We might not
be home for this coming Christmas
but if nothing goes wring we will b»
home for the nr-xt one. that is in
101?.
Last August I had • o make a quick
move and lest everything I had hut
my gun end myself—and my best
friend at present, that is my gas
mask. We have to be ve~y careful
because the:- throw a let of gas at us
l • we are 1u; k fot then they can
not follow nr. I think in another s.x
months this war will be over for
good and maybe sooner. I am in the
Voges mountains and it’s hell around
here and a lot too but 1 am making
'he best of it. I* is getting late art
I ; have tc lose — .. — r for tfc -
time and please give my best regards
to my brothers of Court Pine Tree
and let them know I am well and
doing my tit Good-bye and good
fuck to you ah.

Dear Er:
Just a fen. minutes ar3 left before
we lea'e the office f ir the day ‘to
return this e'er.mg- and 1 am using
it to talk to ; on. We have been
frightfuhy busy. Have three offices
and three chairs and two foot en
gines and the chairs get red hot we
change the patients so often.
Handled "vi during September with
only hand instruments we brought
over. Have three men besides Cush
man and myself, two doing chair
work, or.e labratory. Cushman does
fracture work and attend? to ward
cases, meetings, polities etc. I do
dentistry as am r.a politician. Get
along O. K. pretty much all the
time.
We go* our '1th convoy last night,
the worst yet. Many bad gun shot
wounds, amputations and seme gas
gangrene. Th.s is a real experience
for one uninitiated to see the com
ing of an envoy. Tv-y. arrir e at a
little French railroad station about
one mile from us and are brought up
in ambulances. Usually we know
about when to expect them it;,
wire) and always are they late. We
hear the shrill maudlin tooting of *.
locomotive, they dm't blow honest to
God whistles but like o-——ooc—o
and soon after our bugle blow? as
sembly. Then the ambulances come in.
A long low building containing noth
ing but two tables and two chairs is
the receiving ward The ambulatory
cases come first, blinking at the
light, dazed Once in a while ore .5
grinning broadly but seldom as they
are tired. They are booked, given
hasty physical examination, classified
as to ward, if possible bathed and
sent to bed to get hot broth. I am
in charge of taking their valuables if
they wish to leave them in the safe.
Some cave much, some a pocketbook
with a girl's picture and a tiny
American flag. One realizes war was
well named by Sherman. If neces
sary* they are taken at once to the i
operating room. This is the first
really surgical convoy we've had. the I
others have been ga? and dysentarv.
Everyone is working like mad and
everyone is hoping for the war to end
and home again.
Must close now with love.
