HELP THE FRENCH AND BEL
CLAN BABIES.
Contributed.)

Think of France today and the
heart-broken mothersi They have lost
everything. Their husbands, their
sons and brothers have died fighting
for US, their homes, have been de-
stroyed and their babes will have to
die from hunger, cold, tuberculosis,
If American does not come to their
aid.
The Fatherless Children of France
Committee gives us chance to help
France more Immediately, more
practically, more enduringly than
any other war charity. The children
of France are her greatest asset Help
her protect the children and help COM
fort those poor wretched mothers.
Any person or group of persons, can
save child's life by giving ten cents
day, or S3650 a year, and think
what that would mean to those poor
widowed mothers! They write the
most grateful letters to their "bene-
factors" as they call US, and send
photographs of the child.
The people of Bourbon County are
willing and anxious to do their part
in all war work, and we should all
be proud we are from old Bourbon

Indigestion and practically all forms

Graduation Day Approaches
For Camp Meade Officers

Camp Meade, Md.-The student
officers of the third officers training
school here will start on the last lap
of their course of instruction next
week with the night maneuvers and
work in the trenches. The school will
be brought to a close on April 10.
The date was originally set as April
., but was extended in order that the
men might benefit by special instruc-
tions in the great mass of paper
work with which an officer must be
familiar.
With graduation day" drawing
near, the lieutenants in embryo are
on the anxious bench. First, they are
wondering whether or not they will
still be at the school on April 10,
and, second, they are speculating on
what the War Department will do
with them once it is decreed that
they have passed all tests and are fit
to command troops as commissioned
officers. The order creating the
school stated specifically that the
men would be given a certificate of
qualification at the completion of
the course and would then be sent
back to the units from which they
were selected.
