BY that tine the pain would be SO
severe I would have to take to bed.

and got to be a mere skeleton and was
so weak l could hardly sand alone
Was not able to so anywhere AND had
to let my house work go. II suffered
awful with a pain in my back and
had the headache all the time. I just
was unable TO do thing. My life
was a misery, my stomach got in an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered so much
pain. I had just about given up all
hopes of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was
thrown in my yard. After reading
its testimonials I decided to try Car

for I began to improve when on the
second bottle. II am now well
woman and feeling fine and the cure
has been permanent for it has been
two years since my awful bad health.

 We do not think he will be much of acquisition the military and naval forces of the United States he will not help much in the task of making the world safe for democracy. A newly married and whose mentality is further disturbed by indulgence in a paeifist religion has stomach for war As eoldier and a hero his mind is not his business.
 A married man, however frequently becomes good soldier. But he has married for time. until the conbatveness has been properly developed and he has acquired certain facility in lodging flat rons rolling pins skillets and other instruments of domestic warfare By that time he is ready for shrap mel shells. bombs and torpedoes Desperation has perhaps not made him brave but he has become ac- customed to strife and has to extent become oblivious of peril One who has been at close quar- ters in the face of enemy for years is apt quit in front of German trench three hundred yards away.

 But think the exemption board was right in refusing to let him off.
