TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.


R>cssville. Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, Of
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured hinh'clf with piece Of heavy ma
chinery, a.ross the abdomen. He was
so. sore he could not bear 10 press or
himself at all, ION chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 Ms, and fell eli until he
weighed ITO lbs in two weeks.
He became co,fstipated and it looked
iike he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed I, act. He would turn up
a ten cent L~..A- CT castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate. he suffered so. He was swol-
iSq terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

and when il began to act he tainted, he

ARE ADVERTISED MEDICINES
WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to con-
demn all advertised medicines than
there is to condemn all physicians or
all druggists. Fakes there are in ev-
cry profession and in every trade, but
they do not last long. Take a medi-
cine like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
Bile Compound, the true test of its
merit is the fact that for forty years
it has been relieving women of Amer
lea from the worst forms of female
ailments, constantly growing in popu-
larity and favor, until it is now rec
ognized from ocean to ocean as the
standard remedy for female ills. 1t

REVIVE LEAGUE AND
SPUR UP LAGGARDS

There is some talk of reviving
the Home Defense League, which
was organized some time ago, -four
ished for a few weeks and then
faded away into obscurity. The idea
is to rejuvenate the association and,
among other things, List the number
of work slackers in this community.
It is alleged that some Of these fell
lows do not work at all, while 9th
ers make feint of laboring day
Or two each week. An investigation
would determine the truth of these
reports.

has done his "bit" by shooting
down forty-seven German aero

thusiastic about hurrying back to
the firing line among the clouds. In
one battle he single-handed attacked
two German aerodromes and in two
hours destroyed nine, enemy ma
chimes. On another occasion he was
lured into a trap by silver colored
machine and found himself cut off
by two squadrons Of German ma
chimes, twenty-four in number. He

OFFICERS NOT LITTLE kAlsERs

The following paragraph OF Army Regu-
lations is the only rule now existing re-
garding the relationship between officers
and enlisted men:
"Superiors ere forbidde TO injure those
under their authority by tyrannical or
capricous conduct or by abusive language
While maintaining discipline and the
thorough and prompt performance of mill
itary duty, all officers, in dealing with
enlisted men. will bear in mind the alb
solute necessity of so treating them as to
preserve their self-respect. Officers will
keep in as close touch as possible with
the men under their command, viii strive
TO build up such relations of confidence
and sympathy as will insure the free ap-
proach Of their men to them for counsel
and assistance. This relationship may be
gained and maintained without relaxa-
tion OF the bonds Of discipline and with
great benefit to the service as a whole"
