While the epidemic has passed, the
danger from the grip germ is still here
If you catch cold or allow yourself to be-
come weak and run down, you are ex-
posed to this danger.
This is the time to keep Father Johns
Medicine on hand and TO begin taking it
at the first sign of a cold. If you need a
tonic, no better food medicine can be
found, because the elements of which
Father Johns Medicine is composed are
sill pure, wholesome and nourishing and
have been proven by scientific tests to be
of the greatest nutritive value.
The fact that Father Johns Medicine
is guaranteed free from alcohol or dan
gerous drugs in any form makes it the
safe medicine for every member of the
family from the youngest to the Oldest.

son of Hon. and Mrs. Harold NJ. Sew
all of Bath. is in the tank service
abroad and was probably in recent
battles in charge of tank. This
young officer it will be recalled, was
| among the first who considered it his
duty to volunteer some two years
ago and after serving acceptably in
tho ambulance service, returned for
visit home and then went to
Plattsburg. from which school Of in
struction he accompanied the troops
abroad as a lieutenant Of infantry.
When the call for tank volunteers
was made, young Sewall offered his
services and was given charge of one
of the tanks. In a recent letter home,
he wrote of the tank division to
which he was attached being re-
viewed by Gen. Pershing. His father
says that, although he has not heard
from his son as yet. he thinks the
probabilities are that LoyaPs tank
was in the recent battles.

It isn't age, it's careless living that
puts men down and cut" Keep your
internal organs in good condition and
you will always be physically tit.
Watch the kidneys.
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs in the human body. When they
break down under the strain and the
deadly uric acid accumulates and crys-
talizes, look out. These sharp crystals
tear and scratch the delicate urinary
channels causing excrutiating pain and
set up irritations which may cause pre-
mature degeneration and often do turn
into deadly Bright's Disease.
One Of the first warnings of sluggish
kidney action Is pain or stiffness in the
small of the back. high colored or

Somewhere in France,

Dear Sister:
Your letter was so welcome yester-
day. We have been driven very hard
with work since the last two drives"
March Fl, and May 2sth. For %
nights in May we were not undressed
to go to bed. but had to run to caves
for shelter from air-raides. 1t was
hard to have no sleep at night and
work all day, but the work is great
There is nothing like the morale Of
the French people. l was in Paris on
Red Cross business the first day that
the long range gun shot and must
confess it gave me shiver. but the
French people just 60 on their way.
Germany could not win the war that
way in a hundred years. After being
nearly seven months at a French
canteen I am now at an American
canteen. We get mostly she'll

and forget for little while, but just
as soon as they feel a little better all
are anxious to get back to the front

said he only longed to get back to the
fighting line. He told us some Won

work is simply staggering over here
and when my six months were UP on
June Z, l signed for three months
longer a the Red Cross were SO anx-
| ious to keep their old workers, as new
ones are not coming until fall on ac-
count Of using the space on ships for
troops.
Expect to go home in October and
hope to work in an hospital if our
wounded boys are being brought back
as that is the work l really fitted for
at the Peter Brent Brigham hospital
in Boston, but was sent here because
l could speak the French language. /

see you. but am sure you would want
me to help to my last bit of strength
could you see the train loads of

chairs trying to get away.
Had letter from Harold but don't
know where he is as we cannot tell
each other, but l hope to meet him at
Paris or some place convenient to his
