Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You
FAMOUS MEN WERE BROKE
Many Celebrities Who Have Swayed
Millions and Ruled Continents
Felt Pangs of Poverty.

Being "broke" is an experience
through which some of the greatest
men in history have had to pass.
Men who have swayed millions, ruled
continents. commanded mighty armies
have not always been blessed with
money.
Hard cash was the one thing which
in the early days Napoleon could not
lay hand on, and the same may be
said of Marshal Soult, who, long be-
fore he became duke of Dalmatia was
without penny, says London An
swers. Nor was his great comrade-in-
arms, the heroic Ney, any better off
when in his youth he donned the uni
form of private soldier.
We do not know for certain wheth-
err Columbus ever carried his coat TO
the pawnshop, but the miseries of
dungeon were certainly not the only
ones which tried his heart, his pocket
often being empty.
Owing to poverty. Dickens knew
hardshlps as boy. and Dumas, the
author of Monte Crlsto," died de-
pendent.

In gallant action in which his

M. HovelaQue, a member OF the
French commission, speaking of him.

1.-THE Blue Devil of France is CRATE
full to America for the wooden leg ne

appoint suitable young men who are
twenty-one years of age at the end of
the training period. The maximum age
IS forty-four years. 1t is expected that
students at colleges who are members
of the Reserve officers Training corps
and who are especially fitted to become
members of the first ten thousand will
be selected by the regular army officer
on duty at the college and admitted to
these camps. Such students should
preferably go to the camp that per-

lieved that colleges in general will
graduate seniors who attend these
