A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many u Sufferer In Maysyille

No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll If the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off when
the kidneys are we'll, are retained in
the body when the kidneys are disor-
dered. If the kidneys and bladder be-
come intiamed and swollen worse
troubles may quickly follow. This Is
often the cause Of bearing-down pains,
lameness, backache, etc. Uric pois-
oning Is also frequent cause of head
aches, dizzy spells, languor, nervous
hess and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so. try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let a Maysville woman tell of her
experience.
Mrs J. c. Hays, 493 W. Second St.,
Maysville. says; About six years
ago, suffered from severe attack Of
kidney trouble. My back first became
lame and ached dreadfully. Pains shot
through it clear up to my shoulder
blades. My kidneys were irregular
in action. too. A few boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills, which l got at the

member are to take deep breath just
before completing your aim SO that
you may hold the rifle with perfect
steadiness, and to squeeze the trigger
so that the gun will not be jerked
from its aim at the moment of firing.
When you become an expert marks
man (provided you have also the
courage which permits you to remain
cool and collected on the battle field
you will have added immensely to
your value as citizen soldier. The
simple fact that you qualify as a
marksman will give you more self
confidence and self-contrOl.
The amount of ammunition which
an American infantryman carries in
to battle is usually 220 rounds. In
an advanced firing position. where it
Is difficult to bring up reserves OF am
munition, it is necessary to be econo-
mical. Bear this in mind during your
target practice and learn to make ev-
cry shot count.
In modern warfare the intrenching
tool is an essential part Of your fight
ing equipment. The eight men in
each squad carry these tools: 4
shovels, 2 pick mattocks, polo or
hand-ax, and l wirecutter. In ordi-
nary soil you can quickly throw up a
shallow trench which will protect you
to a great extent from the enemy's
fire. After a trench has once been
started, even in the face of the enemy,
without the soldier exposing himself
to direct fire.
Don't look on practice in digging
trenches as if it were drudgery. Skill
in seeking and making cover from the
enemy's fire is far from being a sign
Of weakness on the soldiers part
Rather it is sign of the determine
ton and courage that mark really
efficient fighting force. The day has
gone by when either officers or men
are expected to stand out in the open
They should use every effective meth
cd of self-protection so long as il
helps to gain ground and defeat the
enemy.

Besides his extra clothing a soldier
carries blanket, rubber poncho, a
canteen, mess kit, including meat
can, knife fork, and spoon, a cup,
toilet articles, a first aid package, and
some minor belongings.
One of the most useful pieces is
one-half of a shelter tent, with rope
and pins. The shelter tent is said to be
French invention which was intro
duced into the American Army during
the Civil War. In the Army it is often
called dog tent" evidently because
! of it's shape and small size. Two men
can combine their halves and set up
shelter tent in a few minutes. While
it can not be described as roomy, it is
just what its name implies, "shel-
ter" from wind and rain. 1t Is used
only in temporary camps.

Each soldier in a modern army car
ries with him sufficient food, clothing,
shelter, fighting arms, and ammuni-
ton to take care Of himself for a
short period in case he should be sep

weight of his load, in addition to the

The number Of articles Is surprisingly
large. They are so devised, however
that by ingenious methods of packing
and adjusting they can all be carried
with the least possible effort.
You are personally responsible for
all the arms, clothing, and supplies
issued to you. The trained soldier
keeps track of them. He knows i'm

has made it imperative that every
possible facility for the care of con-
sumptives be enlarged.
In announcing the plans for an in
creased campaign, The National AS
sociation and the American Red Cross
call attention to the fact that the eX-
animation of 100000 men subject
to the draft, besides thousands of 9TH
ers who are enlsting voluntarily, has
already and will continue to disclose
thousands of new cases of tubercu-
losis, which have hitherto been un'
suspected. To provide facilities for
the care of these cases and to edu-
cate the general public and the con-
sumptives themselves relative to the
danger Of the spread of tuberculosis,
the American Red Cross and The Ma
tional Association call upon the peo-
pie Of the United States for increased
contributions. 1--WE can avoid the ia
tai mistake of France and some of
our other Allies only by excluding tu-
berculosis from the Army and by pro-
viding adequate care for every case Of
this disease developing in this coun-
try" says DR.. Charles ]. Hatfield, Exc
cutive Secretary of the National AS
sociation.
The money raised from the sale OF
Red Cross Seals will be distributed
throughout the United States and
most of it will remain in the commun-
tiles where the Seals are sold. In ev-
cry state, however, it is planned to
establish a special war fund, to pro-
vide immediate facilities for dis
charged recruits and soldiers. These
funds will be administered through
the state and local anti-tuberculosis
associations in cooperation with the
Military Department Of The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
