throbbing bsekache, sharp, kpife.like
paine, headaches, dizziness and In many
cases, lameness when arising In the
morning. No one can afford to delay
until these troubles become serious.

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who Is found with arms Ia his
possession Is liable TO be shot without
mercy. Although this seems very
severe rule, 1t Is absolutely necessary
for the safeguarding Of the WHOLE
civilian population.
The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as cOmbatants I'M
less they wear Il distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. II 1t
were not for this any number OF men
could at any time band themselves
together and say they were belliger-
ents. II this were allowed therefore
Invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing ev'

This particular rule Is so stringent
that even IL noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would he liable
to be shot.-LOndon Opinion.
