WELL DONE WALDO COUNTY.

Waldo county has shown her patriotism
by prompt response to the several calls
for aid in carrying on the war. Our
Quota of men has gone forward without
delay. There has been no search here for
deserters or for slackers. We have hon.
estly conserved food. Our full contribu-
tons for Red Cross and Y. M. c. A.
work have been generous. Our women
have been tireless in working for the
comfort of the boys in khaki. In response
to the call for the Liberty Loans the
county has subscribed 81, 5000 600. In adj
dition to this our people have bought
War Saving and Thrift Stamps to an
amount not known, but large enough to
carry us considerably above the ST. O0,-
600 mark in our loans. We are justified
in feeling that we have gone gloriously
over the top In doing all this there has
been no selfishness, and no politics. 1t
has been pure patrio tism, nothing but
love of home and country. All this is
good but better than this, the record of
Waldo county is the record also of the
State of Maine and of the whole country.
''Over the top for the successful prose-
cution of the war This spirit, this de-
voton to the cause of human freedom,
and to our country is what makes our
Nation truly great.

4 REAL IRON TONIC
Puts Iron Into the Blood Where 1t
Is a Prime Necessity.

Iron is a valuable medicine; it
gives strength, stamina, endurance.

color, steadier nerves, by taking
Peptiron, a real iron tonic, which
will make gratifying change in
your condition in very short time.
Peptiron combines iron with nux,
celery, pepsin and other valuable in
gradients, and is in chocolate-coated
pills. Pleasant to take and easily
assimilated. Of druggists or direct

CANTEEN Service FOR
SAMM|ES IN France
Red Cross To Serve Boys In The Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has just
arranged to establish with the Amer1-
can troops in France a front line can
teen service similar to that through
which they have served more than
a million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable just received by the War Coun-
Gil from Major James H. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France.
This will consist Of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are nv s+oen OF
these operating behind tn- -"
lines, from which fifty or more la.
receptacles of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
of the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on or
coming off duty.
This service has proven Of such
value to the French that the Aneri-
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front The work is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man.
ifesting a keen interest in having this
service at the disposal Of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist substantial number Of men
Of the highest caliber to undertake
this work. It will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.
