Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi this place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- jured himself with a piece of heavy ma- rhinery, across the abdomen. He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and 1t looked Like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up | ten-cent bottle of castor oil. and drink k two or three days In succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

THE RIGHT CREED OF
 A GOOD AMERICAN CITIZEN

! believe in the ultimate victory of democracy in the World War.
 I believe in the American govern ment and will believe in the men at the head of it until they prove them selves false or incompetent.
 I believe that the war may we'll continue another year or two and that America must prepare for such test no matter how much she may hope for an earlier termination.
 I believe in the soundness of Amer ican prosperity and that the man who "sells America short" is both knave and fool.
 I believe that America cannot af- ford, physically or morally, to fight this war with munitions and money only. It is our war, and we must fight it not merely back it.
 I believe in my state as one of the great bread baskets of the world and that not one tillable acre should be wasted, or one ounce of human energy be left unexpended.
 believe that it is my duty to fight for my country, if I am con- scripted; to go cheerfully, hopefully and determined to make myself the best soldier possible with the brains God has given me.
 I believe that it is my duty not to hoard, to give my best energies to the job at hand, to work as never work ed before; to contribute a generous share of my income regularly and without solivitation to the Red Cross to give unsparingly of my time and energies to the work of the Council of Defense; to restrain my tongue from thoughtless criticism; to practice ec- onomy; not the economy of the skimps and hoards, but rather the economy that guards against wasting any products that are necessary to the support of life.
 believe that it is my duty not to hoard money or food; the first should be kept circulating, the latter should be made to produce more food.
 I believe that it is my duty as an American to avoid mere blind hate that wastes energy in futile denun- citation.
 I believe that the man who makes the supreme sacrifice by offering his life for his country outbids any sac rifce can make, and that it is my

duty to see that those dependant on him have at least the necessaries and some of the comforts of life without being forced to ask for them.
 I believe that out of this war there must and will come a league to en- force permanent peace in the world,
 I believe that the war, horrible as it is, will yet give the world new conception of the brotherhood of man.
 I believe that America can be gen erous in victory, and enforce terms, not as a harsh dictator, but as a friend of the defeated.
 l believe that the soul of country is the sum total of the glarious deeds of its citizenry and that my actions, my thought and my speech will not be without their effect in the whole.
 I believe that if I can live this creed daily, will be an American citizen.
