Such Proof as This should Convince
Amy Madison Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better. none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he Is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do SO. Telling ones experience
when 1t is for the public good is an
act OF kindness that should be appre'
ciated. The following statement Civ
en- by a resident of Madison adds one
more to the many cases of home en-
dorsement which are being published
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.
Geo. w. warfield, retired farmer,

Partisan lnstalIs Rockefeller Institute
Scientist In His Home at
Saint Cloud.

Paris.-Dr. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search Of New York was recently seek
ing a building at Saint Cloud suitable
for a laboratory and workshop near
certain hospital centers. He found the
house he wanted i'm a park full of
splendid trees. The "Verger" (Or-
chard), as the property was called, be-
longed to Andre Bernheim, who had
refused the most tempting offers to
rent II on account Of the family SOU
venirs 1t contained and the art treas
ures.
When Mr.. Bernheim heard of Doc
tor Carrel's wish to lease his house he
said: '"Tell Doctor Carrel that l am
greatly fiattered at his choice and that
the Verger and its surroundings are ut
his service"
When the question of rent was
raised Mr.. Bernheim exclaimed: mo.
no, a scientist owes nothing to any
body. 1t is / who am honored."

BOY IS NOW MAKING GOOD
Seems to Be More Afraid OF Brother
Than of Germans and II Is Pre-

Camp Wadsworth, S~partanburg, 8.
C.-Among the Maryland draft men
sent here some weeks ago was a chap
from Baltimore who claimed exemp-
ton from military service on the
ground that he was q conscientious OBJ
1ector of a His name will not be
made public, for 1t has developed that
he belongs to a good family. He was
placed In the casual detachment for OBJ
servation, and the machinery of the In
telligence department was put to work
to learn somethin1 as to his antece-
dents.
A few days later a tall, grim-look-
ing man appeared In camp and asked
where the conscientious objector could
be found. He was directed TO the
casual detachment, and there intro
duced himself to the commanding Of
ficer as a brother of the soldier In
question and asked permission to have
a talk with him. The permission was
granted, and he went to his brothers
quarters. Part of the conversation
was overheard, and those who heard
II say IL was heated, although one
sided.
Brother Said Something.
"You yellow cur" exclaimed the
visiting brother. "We are all ashamed
of you at home, but you are going to
do a mans part in this war. Mother
told me to come down here and make
you withdraw that fool conscientious
Cbjector claim, and IL you don't do II I
Inn going to beat you to death right
here I'm this camp. What possessed
you anyway" There was a good deal
more of the same kind.
At the end of about an hour the
two brothers went before Major Coffin,
the personnel officer. Major" said
the visitor, "my brother wants to
withdraw the affidavit about being a
conscientious director. Can he do
ft?"
SWELL" replied Major Coffin, "ft
must be q voluntary act on his part"
Ana, turning to the soldier, who had
made the claim, he asked: "Do you
want to do this voluntarily. Is II of
your W free willf"
The soldier molstened his lips and
glanced at his brother, and replied
"Yes, sir, II is of my own free will.
and l want to withdraw It."
Is Now Making Good.
Major Coffin found the affidavit and
tore 1t up, and then issued an order
transferring the soldier to an active
regiment, and the soldier left.
After he had gone the visitor turned
to Major Coffin and said: Major, l
thank you. / had determined there
would be no yellow ours I'm my family.
and IL that boy hadn't withdrawn that
cfidavit 1 would have beaten him up
right here. But - glad he did II of
his own free will"
The soldier who thought he was a
conscientious objector has been MAX
Ing good ever since the visit of his
brother. He seems, in fact. to be more
afraid of his brother than Of the Ger
mans, and those who have been watch
Ing him are of the opinion that he will
make as good a fighting man as
any when the time comes to go over
the top.

WAR CAUSE OF GRAY HAIR

London.-There has been a great in

Bringing the natural color back, per-

they say, and a difficult one, but 1t
