ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Glenwood Springs Citizen

The public endorsement of a locnI
citizen is the best proof that can oe
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citizens
addresses his friends and neighbors
you may be sure he is thoroughly con,
vinced or he would not do so. Telling
one 3 experience when it is for the pub
lie good is an act of kindness that
should be appreciated. The followin G
statement given by resident of Glen
wood Springs adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement which
are being published about Doans Kid
ney Pills. Read it:

needed a kidney medicine and took
Doan's Kidney Pills. They proved to
be an excellent remedy for backa"he

ders. l used them short time and

HOUSING IN WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., July lS.-The
United States Civil Service commission
announces that it is now in a position
to state definitely to the public that
steps will be taken at once to relieve
the congested living conditions in
Washington, which have been an obsta-
Gle in the way of recruiting the civil
service to meet war demands. The
commission is advised by the depart
ment of labor that, the erection of tenn
porary hotels and restaurants, to h,
conducted under government supervi-
sion for the use of federal employees
in Washington, will begin at once.
It is expected that the first units
will be ready for occupancy early in
September. Accommodation will first
be provided for approximately 5000
persons. Additional accommodations
will be provided as they are needed
Each room will be arranged for the oc
cupancy of but one person. In the
meantime, the room registration office
which is conducted by the District OF
Columbia Council of Defense under the
auspices of the Council of National
Defense, is able to provide rooming and
boarding accommodations for the new
appointees. At the latest report the
room registration office had on i,
lists more than 5000 rooms which had
been inspected and found available fol
government employees.
Those who arrive on late trains may
| find accommodations for the night by
applying at the booth of the District
Council of Defense, which is promi
nently situated in the Union station
where all trains arrive.

upon him by his overestimation of our
forces, Lenert asked for his rifle and
got it. Then he ordered the Germans
to throw all their arms away, which
they did.
Placing himself behind the eighty
three boches, he marched them tri-
umphantly to the rear. On his way he
met detachment assigned to take
back prisoners, but Lenert said:
Nothing doing. These are my meat. ="
At just five CLOCK he reached his
headquarters with his prisoners. His
general believes that Lenert's bag is
record for an individual capture.
"No wonder,' said Lenert, "these
boches believe the lies the officers told
them when they would swallow mine
about how many regiments were coming
after them.'
As the soldiers come out of the
fight many tales of heroism are being
told. One group of Americans, COM
manded by young lieutenant, cut
their way into German company and
were surrounded. Refusing to surren-
der, they cut their way out, losing
half their number, but fifteen minutes
they cut their way back into the Ger
man company and killed or captured
all the members of it
At the hospital l saw one of the
Germans of this company. l asked
him how his company had Jared, and
he said:
"Sir, there were thirty killed by the
Americans and fifty captured. There
were eighty in our company.'
Their treatment by their captors is
man prisoners. Most of them behave
in quite decent manner. The Prus-
slams, however, are inclined to be in
solent and to brag, characteristics that
the Americans are fully capable of
handling. Says the Times correspond
ent:
One Prussian youngster, when asked
if his army was well fed, replied that
they had plenty to eat as had their
civilians. When the bread and coffee
were passed around soon afterward,
he was not served. This forced him to
three days and was almost starving
then. He got small cup of coffee
and one slice of bread, while the others
got two. The majority of the prison
ers are Poles, who are glad to be cap
tured
In spite of their bravado all the
Germans said they hoped the war would
soon be over, and they are obsessed
with the idea that it will end in three
months with a German victory.
None knew anything about the Aus
trian reversal, and would not believe
it when newspapers were shown them.
Hindenburg rather than the kaiser
seemed to be their Idol
The record of valiant deeds of the
American troops is an ever-growing
one. A correspondent in the field for
the New York Sun writes that with
each trip he makes to the forward
areas west of Chateau Thicrry his note
book gets fuller and fuller of the
stories of gallant actions-thumb-nail
sketches OF brave deeds whose details
would make stirring tales

Overlooking $205.00 and taking
with him only about SIS was the act
of burglar at the offices of the
Peoples Coal & Ice Company on
Sunday night sometime before the
midnight hour.
The entrance was effected by
breaking the upper pane of glass,
just over the window lock, which per-
mitted him to unlock the window
and raise it and gain entrance.
There were several ice ticket box
es in the office, each containing some
small change for drivers convenience
on Monday morning. These were
cleaned up and the cash drawer then
came in for it's share of attention.
Here the burglar took his very
own small amount of cash, and oblig
ingly overlooked a matter of $205.
The total loss is only about SIS.
