My back always felt sore and after
being on my feet a great deal. 1t
ached constantly. l heard Doan's
Kidney Pills so highly recommended
for lame back that l got a box and
after taking them l got great relief.
Later, used two boxes and my back
now feels much better. couldn't
recommend anything better for back
ache than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't

DIR. WATKINS RETURNS SOUTH

The following dispatch is taken
from a Hattiesburg paper:
Federal Health Officer Says Camp
Shelby Site is Excellent.
DR.. ]. A. Watkins, past ass slant
surgeon of the United States Public
Health Service, who is n Hatties-
burg to make an initial survey of
the sanitary conditions of that dis
trict, says he feels at home to be
back in the South, for he is a native
of New Orleans. He says he prefers
Southern people, and also that he
finds the physical characteristics of
Camp Shelby excellent
DR.. Watkins is an authority on
camp situations, for he has been con-
Quoting sanitary work at the Great
Lakes naval training station, at Fort
Sheridan, at the cantonment at
Rockford Ill.,, and at Camp Pike, the
atonal Guard cantonment at Little
Rock. DR.. Watkins has conducted
sanitary campaigns during epidem-
les in New Orleans, San Francisco
and in Eastern cities during the ep:-
denies of last summer.
DR.. Watkins work will consist in
determining the major sanitary prob
lens to be met, the amount of money
which will be needed to meet them,
and the personnel of a staff ade-
quate to meet the demands. His
stay is indefinite, depending entirely
on the amount of work he finds the
government will need to do
DR.. Watkins has already inspected
methods Of disposal of sewage and
garbage in residences and water sup
ply; city crematory; several diaries;
ice cream factory; ice factory; alb
batoir, and creamery.
DR.. Watkins is the son-in-law Of
Mr.. c. NJ. Liddle, of Slidell.

PART OF AMERICAN FORCES TO
GO no CUBA FOR TRAINING.

The Government of Cuba has Of
fered in a most friendly spirit to the
Government of the UNI ted States The
use Of training grounds in that Re-
public for the American forces.
This generous offer has been ac-
cepted by this Government, and care
full consideration has been given to
the question as to which of the Am
ertcan forces would be most benefit
ed by training in the Island of Cuba.
This question has now been de-
termined, and American forces will
proceed to the eastern end Of Cuba
Tor training at an early date
The action on the par. of Pres;-
dent Menocal in making this friendly
offer 's considered as further proof
OF Cuba's desire to give cordial CO.
operation to the United States of
America and to be of every assist
ance to it in the war, viii oh both
countries are now waging for the
rights OF humanity against the I'M
perial German Government.

SOLDIERS TO RECEIVE CHRIST.
MAS PACKAGES.
Headquarters Post Office

New Orleans, August %, 1917.
The American Red Cross, with it's
three m llion members. has just con-
pleted plans for the Christmas Cheer
of every soldier and sailor IN the
National Service. Many of the men
who will be in the environments and
trenches this year will be spending
their first Christmas away from
home. None VIII be forgotten.
Red Cross Chapters nearest the 80
Army Camps and Cantonments will
probably arrange in their towns,
community Christmas trees with car
OILS, pageants and holiday movies to
which the 100000 men in training
VIII be invited.
Arrangements of the detail of the
Christmas celebration for our men in
France is being made, but the Red
Cross will see to it that every soldier
has his Christmas package with is
message of goodwill from the wo-
men on the home side of the At
lantic. There will be surprises in
every package, but all of them are
likely to contain writing paper, pipes,
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, UNI
ibreakable mirrors, puzzles, domi-
noes. handkerchiefs and playing
cards.
Many of the Chapters are already
at work finishing Their Christmas
allotments of comfort bags Most
of them are made of khaki and are
furnished with extra pairs of wooden
socks, housewives with needles, pins,
thread and buttons. Detailed sug-
gestions of how to wrap these CHRIST
mas packages for shipping Will be
issued by the Red Cross. The Red
Cross will also welcome the Cooper
alton of anyone desiring to have a
part in sending Christmas Cheer to
the men IN training or at the front
Some people will want to give money

the advertising tax. On the other
