Alma Women Have Learned the
Cause of Many Mysterious Pains
and Aches.

Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all back
aches, dizzy headaches and urinary
disorders. Men have these troubles
too, and often they come from kidney
weakness. To live simply, eat spar
ingly, take better care of ones self
and to use Doan's Kidney Pills, is
bound to help bad kidneys get better
There is no other remedy so we'll
recommended by Alma people. Read
this case:
Mrs. Josephine Vannormar, 416 W.
Mechanic ST., Alma, says: "For many
years. suffered from rheumatic
pains in my back and limbs. was
nervous and dizzy. / didn't sleep well
at night and mornings felt all tired
out. Kidney and bladder weakness
bothered me, too. Doan's Kidney
Pills greatly relieved these ailments.
| hadn't used them long before the
dizzy and nervous spells left, togeth-
er with the rheumatic pains. Doan's
Kidney Pills can be depended on to
give good results"
Price Goo at all dealers. Don't simp-
ly ask for a kidney remedy-get

A Bilious Attack

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and a terrible headache.
Take three of Chamberlain Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter.

The following Y NJ. c. A. notes
are contributed by the county secre-
tary of the Y NJ. c. A.:
All over the war zone American
soldiers are seeking religious ser
vices, often at the additional risk Of
their lives. They assemble in places
as unusual as were the meeting
places of the early Christians. No
matter how dangerous the position,
the American soldier always wei
comes the Y. NJ. C. A. secretary who
risks his life to reach them to hold
Sunday services. A shell crater In
No Mans Land was the strangest
place in which "Y" man held SER
vices.
This is no time TO be hating each
other for the love of God" exclaimed
a Roman Catholic priest. when a
newcomer from the United States
remarked about his work in "A Y. NJ.
! c. A. hut in England. This remark
has gone up and down the American
camps in France and England and
typifies the spirit of the Roman
Catholics and Protestants alike in
working for the common good of the
American soldier.
Fifteen miles of new moving pie
ture films are shipped each week to
the war zone for the entertainment of
Americas overseas force. This
amusement on cellulod is provided
by the Y. NJ. c. A. working with the
Community Motion Picture Bureau.
The pictures are shown in the Y. NJ.
{. A. huts almost to the very front
lines.
In ten months 365, 900 tubes Of
tooth paste have been shipped by the
I. NJ. {. A. to soldiers overseas.
The French government has appro-
prated the money to build and equip
l4O0 buildings similar to the "Y"
huts used by the American soldiers.
There will be at least one American
secretary in each Foyer du Soldat.
as the French huts are called. About
800 of these buildings are said to be
in operation. Italy is also erecting
similar huts for her own troops.
Lead pencils are needed by the
soldiers at the front to write home
with. The appeal is made to stenog-
raphers pvho accumulate lot of
stubs, two or three inches long, too
short for shorthand but just right for
"A soldiers pocket. The Y. NJ. c. A.
will distribute the pencils among the
soldiers on transports and at the
front. Send the pencils to the county

ward them to the Y NJ c. A.
