 For two hours. and g half she tried vainly to reach him by telephone. Then she thought of the Young WO- mems Christian Association Hostess House-why not try it?
 Tell him. she called over the wire to the operator, that some one at home is very sick" In fifteen minutes her brothers voice came over the wire-he had run all the way from the barracks to the Hostess House upon receiving the message.
 The Y. w. c. A. Hostess Houses at the training camps answer many needs besides the service to women relatives and friends of soldiers. Like all well conducted houses they are friends to everybody.
 Forty-six of these houses are al- ready open and, twenty-four are build ing at army camps. aviation fields, naval stations and marine barracks. Nine are for friends of colored troops.

ITS SERIOUS
Some Stafford Springs People Fail to Realize the Seriousness of Bad Back.

The constant aching of a bad back,
 The weariness, the tired feeling,
 The pains and aches of kidney ills
 May result seriously if neglected. Dangerous urinary troubles often follow.
 A Stafford Springs citizen shows you what to do.
 Wm. Irons, 30 Furnace Ave, says: About three years ago I had bad attack of kidney trouble. I had sharp shooting pains in my back and as my work requires me to be con- tinually standing it greatly annoyed me. My kidneys were disordered and acted too frequently and had dizzy spells. I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills and felt relief before I had fin ished one box. Two boxes cured me and the cure has been a lasting one" Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Irons had. Foster-Milburn Go, Mfgrs.;, Buffalo; N. Y.

 THE MEETING HOUSE ON THE HILL. 4 rugged landscape comes to view, Old Ashford, staunch and ever true Hills and rocks and wooded glen, Fit home for sons of Pilgrim men. Though crude their creeds and harsh
 their ways,
 They blazed the paths to brighter days ;; They bnilded schools and framed the
 laws
 Then gave their lives for freedom's
 cause.
 Such were you sires whose faith and
 might
 Founded the church on Ashford's 6 height, Set like some guide with friendly hand, Ever pointing up to fairer land. And when comes lIfe's declining day, Our eyes grow dim and heads turn grey, A place in our hearts shall thy memories
 fill,

The following letters from Herbert Curnan were received by his parents, MT. Mrs. Charles Curnan:
 June 3O.. I have not heard from you for a long time, but presume you have ! written and it is on the way now. I have been writing very frequently lately because I want you to know that everything is all right with me- We are working very hard and we have many things that make it very but do the best we can and get to- wards the end of the war all the sooner. Everything is going our way ct the front. People are looking for ward to an early peace. We have seen a lot of France in the past six months. Some of us can speak fairly good French now. We are wearing our first gold stripe for foreign ser vice. And do you know that the 22d of August was the date F. expected to get back home. I will have my en- listment period up then. We'll, l cant get away, but I do not mind staying here. If I felt any better would consult a doctor. I eat like a horse and sleep when I feel like it. Every man of us seems to be con- tented and never do any worrying. Write soon and tell some of the rest to drop line now and then.
 ... Herbert.

 I wish I could drop in on you now, but that may come sooner than we expect. We are told over here that you folks are feeling this war. as much as us. We'll, hope not as bad as that, for although we eat very well and get plenty, we work like TrOjans all day, and we are all will ing to leave here at any time. It seems though that we must all do our little bit to make things a success, anu WndJ we eat counts very muCn. Things look brighter every day for us. though we hear of new advances and great victories all along the line which seems to me like we are too strong for Fritz. He cannot stand this pressure very long if he makes many more failures. don't think his army will stay with him. The French people who used to say the war would last two years more are now leaving that entirely up to us. Many have asked me that question, so believe they think we really do know. We have been travelling very much lately, so that is the reason why I haven't answered your letter of June 10th sooner have had it about a week. Don't worry. I'll get by O. K. I never felt any bet. ter in my life. I am in a good place to save money. Give my regards to all

suspense. alarm and uncertainty due
to fixing an arbitrary price.
The system adopted by Mr.. Hoo
yer had at least the merit of main
tanning production. The system of
making different coal price at each
mine was impracticable. Even If
they kept prices down, which is
purely guesswork, they brought a
coal famine with thfs nominal fixed
price"
Declaring he did, not believe the
railroad problem could not have
been solved, Senator Lodge con-
tinued:
But nothing can be more certain
than that the policy of the fuel ad-
ministration, its attempt to substitute
new scheme of distribution, it's
reckless price-fixing, brought on a
coal famine in country which has
more coal than any in the world
Paralyzed Private Interests
What we needed was not q shut
ting down of industries; a freight
embargo on all railroads (the fuel
administration policy is striking
evidence of how much harm has
been done by paralyzing private in
terests and undertaking to solve the
difficulties by one bureau composed
largely of amateurs.
There was no need of the fuel
administration, no reason why it
should exist at all. It's powers, how
ever amiable and patriotic the pur-
poses of their possessor, have been
employed to make bad situation
worse and do nothing but harm. The
vital point of the whole coal situa-
tion was the railroad problem"
Either Secretary Lane or Francis
S. Peabody, Senator Lodge said,
should have charge of the coal situa-
ton. Annulment by Secretary Bak-
er of the agreement Mr. Lane
brought about at conference of op-
orators, dealers and consumers was
criticised by the senator. He also
denounced comforting of vast pow
ers upon, state fuel administrators.
Must BE Democrats
so far as 1 can learn" said Mr..
Lodge, 'the only qualification of
these gentlemen is that they should
be Democrats"
Senator Lodge also warned the
Senate against official interference
with what some government bureau
may decide to be a nonessential in
dustry. Neither, he said, in concIu-
sion, should those who criticise gov
ernment affairs be charged with be-
ing friends of Germany.
