Those people whose curiosity leads
them to study the many badges Of
rank which now decorate the sleeves
Of officers and men of the allied armies
have been puzzled by the appearance
Of a new badge in the French army.
French soldiers on leave in England
may be seen wearing narrow stripes on
the arm above the elbow and ordinary
people have been unable to understand
why some of the rank and file have
been able to sport even more Of these
decorations than officers of high rank.
The explanation is simple. Every stripe
means wounded once. The French
government has inaugurated q scheme
by which every soldier is entitled to
wear one for every time he has been
wounded.
Some men have already won several
such stripes and the other day one
man in London was the proud wearer
of nine.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-RoOt Dr.. Kilmer'S PreScrip-
ton, OVercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re.
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

dOner takes his Zeppelin raids has
often been a matter Of comment. He
not only entirely refuses to be fright
ened, but, official instructions forgot
ten and disregarded, he crowds into
the streets at the smallest hint Of a
raid, scans the sky eagerly, and claims,
as matter of course, and is accorded
in the same spirit, the help Of the local
police force to the best possible view.
Then, when it is all over, he must
needs go and see all that happened.
And the railway companies and the bus
companies and the tramway companies
carry him in thousands, and the po-
lice direct him, and instruct him, and
tell him of the last trains home. And
the street venders, even before the
news is in the papers, are selling him
souvenirs. .a..

HeaGuear in War,

The German army was equipped
with steel helmets long before the war
was begun. After the conflict was well
under way the French discovered that
the percentage of head wounds sus-
tanned by their soldiers was much
greater than the percentage in the
German army. The French adopted
the steel helmet. The British followed
suit, and now even the slow-moving
Russians have equipped a small part
Of their force with the best form of
protection against head wounds. After
Russia comes the United States with
an announcement through the war de-
partment that steel helmets for Ameri-
can soldiers are being "considered."-
