 Mrs. s. P. Reynolds, Benton St. Y, Stafford Springs, says: "I was never without a dull, constant pain in the small of my back. It bothered me all the time and l was very nervous. If I stopped over, sharp pains seized me and it would be hard to straighten up. If I exerted myself doing any work, my back became weak and ached.

Salt and Toothbrushaa.

Our dentist tells us very interest ing thing. Ordinary salt Is one of the best methods for sterilizing tooth brushes that are known. But not only because it sterilizes is it so excellent, but becaUse it has the effect of soften ing the bristles and making them ex- paIld in way. One of the troubles so frequently met with is that the bristles come out and are swallowed, causing appendicitis. The salt causes the bris- ties to swell and so remain in the brush. This may be but another of the several million theories. It is i'm portant, however, that bristles do cause appendicitis-NeW York Globe.

A Hint From the Kaiser.
All these facts suggest to British
officers that Hindenburg has ordered
all branches of his army to buck up
for effect back home. They recalled
Hindenburg's recent trip to Berlin,
and figured that the Kaiser, prodded
by the growing unrest throughout
the central empires and goaded by re-
verses on the east and west fronts,
had intimated to the field marshal he
had better do something.
This belief is borne out by German
prisoners. They state that dissatis-
faction with the present state of af-
fairs abounds in germany.
Germany is fighting hard in the
air. The prisoners recently taken de-
clare enemy commanders give a large
share of credit for the sand dunes
lighting to the airmen. Airplanes
were concentrated for attack and
they were aloft despite a heavy
storm.
