Are You One Of Them?

There are great many people who
would be very much much benefited by
taking Chamberlain Tablets for weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one of
them? Mrs. NJ Il, Searl, Baldwinsviile
N. Y, relates her experience in the use
of these tablets; Il had bad spell with
my stomach about six months ago, and
was troubled for two or three weeks
with gas and severe pains in the pit Of
my stomach. Our druggist advised me
to take Chamberlain Tablets. | took
a bottle home and the first dose relieved
me wonderfully. and kept on taking
them until was cured" These tablets
do not relieve pain, but after the pain
has been relieved may prevent it's re-
currence.

March IL.
We reached Hankow Monday evening
about S o'clock, making the trip in ten
hours. Wish W. could have been along
with me to see the ins and outs of
gunboat ready for action. The sailors
were disappointed that nothing happened
and so was |.
At Hankow we found an epidemic of
spinal meningitis, and were advised to
make our stay brief and not to rub up
against too many Chinese. However we
decided to stay until our baggage from
Yochow caught up with US.
On Tuesday night we were invited to
an entertainment given to the American
and British sailors. On Wednesday we
went to Wuchang. a fascinating city
noted for its schools. At present the
students number twenty thousand. We
saw Boone College, splendid institution,
visited the new hospitals being erected
by the Episcopalians, and last of all went
to Chinese department store or mar
ket In this one enclosed square are all
kinds of booths. You can buy anything
from an ink stick to jade ring. we
wandered around like kiddies at a coun-
try fair.
On Wednesday evening the japanese
steamer "Wooling" arrived and on it
were all the Northern soldiers from the
Red Cross Hopitals of Yochow. Mr..
Hemrichsohn had succeeded in securitg
passports for them and we were all near
ly wild with joy.
This morning we left for Kuling, reach
ing Kinkiang Friday morning. Gertrude,
William r. and | walked ten miles up
the mountain. We happened to strike a
warm day snd SO realized it really was
ten miles.
We are now at Kuling. For how long
do not know. only hope our stay will
be short and that we may, soon go back
to our girls end our work in Yochow.
Keep on writing. Mail will follow us.
l will try to keep you posted. Don't
worry about me; I'm coming out all
right. Love.

After framing up what looked to the
booze man as very highly satisfac-

suggested to United States District At
torney Kane that the saloons be closed
during. the working periods of the day
but he opened during the time that
the men were OFF duty But the dis

Writes From france

Mrs. E l.. Mosley, Kison, Ark.
Dear Mother: was very much
pleased to receive the letters from
you and Ruth on August II, also
one from Edna. While they were
little more than a month old, they
were read with iu st as much utter
est and appreciation as f they had
been only few days Old The day
after ! received them, | wrote, or
rather started letter to you but
wrote only one page and did not
get to finish it, SO today | will
begin another and try this time to
send it whether | finish or not.
Every ,Lirg is progressing as
we'll as could be expected in our
squadron, in fact every one is
working AS earnestly aud hard as
they have ever worked, dong
their bit toward winning the war.
Our recent victories that YOU have
been reading about in the papers
are encouraging, its true, but they
are not going to cause the allies
to slaCken their efforts to bring
the war to a speedy and successful
end. You can see from the news
that all Of US Americans are not
only anxious to do our part in the
war but that those of us who are
in the Z me of Advance are doing
our part. War is dangerous of
course but when you are in it it
doesn't seem so dangerous as you
would think. 1t is exciting too
sonnet mes aud fascinating, so you
can imagine how eager many of
the Americaneboys are to get into
the fight, as mots of them like any
thing exciting. They wouldn't be
Americans you know if they didn't
like such things as that.
1t seems from your last letter
that you would like very much
for me to tell you more about
where | have been ard what | have
seen since coming across. / havn't
written you many such things, Of
course there many things along
this line that it is not permissible
to tell but some are, SO | will try
to write some of this part of my
experience.
AS | have written you before, |
have been in both England and
France and have SO far enjoyed
my stay in both as we'll or better
than conld be expected under the
circumstances. have had the pleas
ure of visi ting many cities and
seeing much of the country in both
countries. Many things would be
very interesting to write about in
detail but with the limited time |
have for writing it is only possible
for me to write about few things
in general way, and tell a few
places | have visited.
