Augusta Entertainers
at Y. M. C. A, Tents
Men at Camp Greatly Enjoy
The Splendid Programs.

For five weeks, in each of the five
buildings of the Young Mems Christian
Association, groups of Augusta En-
tertainers have rendered delightful
programs. The presence of these good
people has been in inspiration to the
soldier boys The programs have been
varied. Vocal and instrumental music,
readings, plantation songs, dances by
little children, minstrel shows, etc.
Frequently at the close of the regular
program popular songs were played
and, under the leadership of some COM
petent person, who was in the party.
the boys have sung themselves hoarse
until invited by the Secretary to go
home, in order not to transgress the
rules of the Camp.
The cOmmitte in charge of these en-
tertainments is a sub committee of the
Council of National Defense, of which
Mrs. Arlington is chairman, and the
plan has been perfected by Mr.. Frank
G. Woods, representative of the FosdicS
Commission, who has been helpful in
many other ways
The soldiers will e glad to know that
arrangements have cen made for three
weeks more of similar entertainment
in each uildlng. 1t is possible that aft
err that time the program will slight
ly varied
For the Camp, Trench and Camp"

have heard and enjoyed the entertain

Cure for Lun,bogo

H., writes the following letter: sT
was stricken down with lumbago and
was unable to turn myself In bed. A
neighbor brought me a half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills. and said she had
been similarly AFFLICTED and that they
had helped her. So I tried them and
was completely relieved by the use OF
two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have
never known them to fail. 1 most
heartily recommend Foley Kidney
