Diabetes Sufferers Should
Not Glue Up In Despair

Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy
has brought health and happiness to
many who thought themselves be-
yond aid.
Diabetes is a peculiar and battling
disease which the medical profession
seems to be unable to accurately de-
scribe and definitely cure despite the
many years of experimenting and
research by foremost physicians
throughout the world.
Diabetes is invariably the result of
impaired nutrition-this results in an
excess of sugar in the blood and
failure of the food to nourish, hence
gradual wasting away while eating
well.
Symptoms of the disease are, in
creased thirst, excess of urine, ema.
citation and dry skin, often with
sweetish odor.
Following are a few voluntary
words of praise from man who has
used Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy
with gratifying results Perhaps you
may be benefited in like manner

Upon America" Pershing told a
Red Cross meeting, lis to rest the
brunt of the terrible burden to come"
France Is under terrific drain, he
said. THE United States must meet
the deficiencies caused by this drain
1t is the United States that must re-
habilitate France. We must help her
orphans, her widows.
"Yet 1 am sad to say that the
feeling among our people is lax.
They do not realize the depth, the
horrors of this war. 1t is well for
editorials to be written to bring them
to a realization But this is not sufti-
cient. 1t is our duty, you of the Red
Cross, and we of the army, to i'm
press upon the people that we are
indeed at war.
"Am erica's entrance into the war
is the deciding factor.
'The war has not yet been I'M
pressed upon people out west" said
Pershing. II have just come from
Texas where they say:
"'Oh well, we haven't lost any
body; none of our vessels have been
destroyed and we don't really feel
that we are at war.
'T put this question to such men:
DO you realize that we must fill the
place of every man who is killed
among the allies? p"
Herbert G. Hoover told of the
total destruction of many villages in
northern France, the restitution there
and declared the cost of restitution
would "startle all other than Ameri-
cans"
He placed the figure for supplying
makeshift relief for one year to the

After reviewing the events leading

For the reason that we are right

"These countries could not afford
to permit their people to become
subject to the dominance of a nation
which considers force as the only
consideration for aggression and ex-
pansion.'
Gary then turned to the public's
part in winning the war:
"The task which confronts the
country is not confined to the army
and navy, although they will be en-
titled to the larger part OF the credlt
and glory when we succeed.
They offer their bodies as sacr1-

their ranks.
"All of US are fighting in self de-
tense. Life would not be worth liv-
ing if our flag were to be permanent
Iy furled; II our country were SUD-
iugated by an alien enemy especially
such a one as we now defend our
selves against
Gary then spoke of war taxes:
1--WE can rightfully claim only that
the burden of taxation be equitably
distributed; that there shall be no
waste or extravaganza in making ex-
penditures-
LESS than this would tend to
create cIasses-the worse thing for
any country.
'Now is the time to unite the
country in a common cause. The
soldiers are on a level. All others
ought to be. Classes, politics, local
ity and religious differences should
be obliterated."
Gary concluded by thanking the
government for its spirit Of cooper
alton with business"

of the Americans.
The French soldier carries one soli-
tary loaf of bread for, his reserve food
supply when starting out on active
service. 1t didn't look like enough
to the Americans. The supply was
therefore increased to include, in adj

Driving five ton automobile trucks
is the hardest sort of physical labor
and the members of these first
American armed forces are all picked
men. The hours are irregular and
during battles turns on duty may
continue for days at a time. The

Physical labor, the hardships of
