Secretary Baker Speaks for
American Boy on Field
In France.

eff you want to sell bonds" said
Secretary Baker, addressing the
woman's liberty loan committee.
"get into your mind the face ofsome
plain homely country boy-an ordi-
nary American boy-standing on a
field in France, with the noise of bat
tie going on about him like a per-
feet hell. Think of him there as the
boy to whom you are bringing sup
port and succor by coordinating back
of him the financial strength of his
country: and as he advances toward
the front with his face high in the
air representing our nation, we feel
way down in our hearts: Yes, son,
that is your part. The success will
be largely yours, but the response
bility is common, and you will not
find that the men and women of the
country at home are leaving you un-
aided in that distant land"

Milwaukee. - Tradesmen, including
the butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker, will not swarm about
apartment houses to the annoyance of
tenants If the recommendations de-
vised by the management Of one of
Milwaukee's most modern establish
ments are generally adopted.
In brief, patrons are urged to do
their trading with but one grocer, one
milkman, one iceman, one laundryman
and the like. The quality Of service
rendered is expected to determine the
selection Of favorites. BY this means
the leaseholder, it is expected, will not
be awakened at an unseemly hour by
the merry rattle of cans or clink Of
bottles as squad after squad Of milk

HOBO SAVES

And Brought About the Organization of a Prosperous Medicine
 Concern in Louisiana.

Hoboes are not usually considered very valuable members of society. But there's big medicine company in tn, South that owes it's existence to ho- bo's knowledge of medicinal plants. And there are many men and women still enjoying the pleasure of living who probably would have died of Brights disease had it not been for the medicine made according to the hobo's formula by the Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Company of Singer,
 La. Some of the cases treated, de- tails of which are matters of record under oath, had been pronounced as hopeless by physicians. If you are interested in the story and also in learning of wonderfully effective way of treating Brights disease and other bladder and kidney diseases, you ought to write to the Hobo Medicine Company and ask them to send you ae- free copy of their little booklet. It tells about the man who was con- demned to death. And how he didn't die. The hobo saved him-right out there in the woods. The incident created considerable excitement in the at the time. Write for the booklet-it's thrilling.-Adv.
