NO DlssANDlNe OF ARMY.
Big American Military Machine Must
Operate for Some time.

WashingtOn.-Signing of The arms.
tice with Germany, which brings the
world var to an end, does not mean
that the great American military ma
chine will cease to operate at once.
America must play an important part
in disarming and guarding the enemy
and until this work is completed even
the troop movement to France will
continue, although on a greatly re-
duced scale.
During the interval between the
cessation of hostilities and the con-
clusion of the peace conference it is
assumed that ehe major portion of
General Persning's expeditionary
forces in France must be retained
there. 1t is possible also that for rea-
son of international politics some
garrisons may be kept in
disputed territory even after actual
peace negotiations have been closed.

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DR.. LEE H. SMITH.


An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight a German or a germ, we
must put up a good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs a very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within cur bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's-a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of a
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
4 one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack Of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t Is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in.
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
lets, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
ltepid) in which a tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in a quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store a good iron tonic, called
'Irontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic. DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical
Discovery.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
TO become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Pour health makes you nervous, irrita-
Bile and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone 50.
But hundreds of m claim that DR..
Kilmer's Svamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
rcel healing and curative value, should
BE- = blessing to thousands of nervous,

Mag send for a sample bottle to see
what Swsmp-Root, the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine will do for
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried it, by enclosing ten
cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, may receive sample size bottle by

To be possessed OF a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, l%ustruus, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandrulf is merely
q matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply q little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, flufiness and an ~incompara-
Bile gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at frst-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
Jul hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
IL you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with n little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in jus
a few moments-a delightful surpris'
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv
