SERVICE AS BROAD
AS THE COMMUNITY
Wir Camp Community Service Pre- i
vide* Numberless Intimate Com
forts For Soldier*
Club rooms for soldier*, entertain
ments for the boys In khaki, outings
for convalescent men back from
France, small, but appreciated ser
vices to soldiers and their relative*
X and friends —these are some of the
manifold activities of the War Camp
■Community Service.
The War Camp Community Ser
vice comes close to the intimate life
of the soldier and provides for hi#
mental as well as physical comfort 1
by furnishing the facilities which
make it possible for him to relax
from the strain of military training i
and the preparation for overseas
lighting.
Its symbol is the red circle and its
activities are as unending as the cir
cumference of its insignia. Thou
sands of soldier boys lake advantage
of its facilities and other thousands
of relatives and friend# of the boys
in Uncle Sam’s uniform are dally
benefited through its various ave
nues of effort.

BUILDING MORALE
X OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work O'. Jewish Welfare Board Pre
ducits Splendid Results In
Car?P* and Trenches
No more elective work toward
maintaining the tighest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
{Jewish Welfare Board, which is en
gaged in its task of eping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
■training camps and the folks back
Home.
Believing' that in the struggle of
morale against “kultur” the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza
tion is making it* chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
-and rabbis, professional men, journal
ists, social workers and others are
-entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

The American library Association,
which has shouldered ths responsibil
ity of collecting books, magazines
and newspapers by the million* in
every city and town throughout the
country, Is distributing this huge
quantity of reading matter to the
men In France through the T. M. C.
A., the Red Cross, the Knights of
Columbus and the Salvation Army.

j “A KISS FOR CINDERELLA.” .
.1. M. Barrie Wriltes Maude Adams’
New Play,
It will be very interesting from 'he
play goer’s standpoint to see Maude
Adams in M. Barrie’s comedy, ’ A
Kiss tor Cinderella." at the Audi
torium. Albany, Ga., Monday. August
14, f<?r two very excellent reasons.
One of these is to see how the Scot
tish dramatist has handled the story
: of the kitchen maid an dthe glass
slippers in modern surroundings, and
: the other is to see the most popular
, of accesses in the first new role she
has had in some time. Os course.
Miss Adams is always welcome in
anything, but as the new role is said
to be one in which she is particularly
fascinating, she will surely be doubly
welcome at this time. Barrie’s new
play, which, by the way, he calls a
‘ fancy” is described as a delectable
retelling of the old, old fairy story,
with a little of the war in it, a little
of joy, a little of love and a little of
charm. It is fairy and high-roinan
tical, dream-like and actual, iimagi
native and matter-of-fact, remote and
intimate, and it closes with a love
scene in which the sentimental dram
atist is delightfully human and hu
morous. Cinderella is an imaginative
slavey who longs for the ball of her
dreams. The whole play leads up to
her dream of the ball where she cap- ,
tivates her prince and its reproduc- ■
tion in all its details. It is a most ,
fantastic scene in which sport is t
made of kings, queens and princes t
and where fun is even poked at the [
power of the press. When Cinderella [
awakes she is in a hospital recover- |
ing from cebility, but the awakening S
is not a sad one fo r there comes to ‘
tier the big policeman, who is her .
real prince, and who was the prince ■
of her dreams, to make as sweet a [
proposal as one could imagine. The [
play is in three acts. Miss Adams, [
of course, essays the role of Cinde- [
rella. j

“A SPLENDID TONIC ”
Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc- '
tor’s Advice, Took Cardui
And Is Now WeU.
r
Hixson, Tenn.—-“About 10 years ago [
I was...” says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of j
this place. “I suffered with a pain In •
my left side, could not sleep at night ,
with this pain, always In the left ■
side... t
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I r
took one bottle, which helped me and f
after my baby came, I was stronger ;
and better, but the pain was still (
there. r
I at first let it go, but began to get ,
weak and In a run-down condition, [
so I decided to try some more Cardui, f
which I did. <
This last Cardui which I took made [
me much better, in fact, cured me. It 1
has been a number of years, still _ ,
have ro return of this trouble.
I feel It was Cardui that cured me, 5
and I recommend It as a sp’endid fe- ,
male tonic.”
Don’t allow yourself to become f
weak and *run-down from womanly ,
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure- I
1y help you, as it has so many thou- f
sands of other women in the past 40 ;
tears. Headache, backache, sideache, [
nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out f
feeling, aie all •dgns of woman I - tfou- ,
ble. Other womea git relief by taking (
Cardui. Why not y>u? AU druggists f
