HAVE YOU A BAD BACK?
II You Have, the Statement of this
Middlebury Resident Will Interest
You

Does your back ache, night and day;
Hinder work destroy your rest
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bendF
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backaChe is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
The kidneys action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear,
Headaches dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all;
Middlebury folks have tried and
proved.
What they say you can believe.
Read this Middlebury woman's ac-
count.
See her, ask her, if you doubt.
Mrs Castle P. Westall, Elm St, says:
MY kidneys became disordered and I
suffered severely form backache which
was brought on by overwork. My back

lDing 20 di'o'e. The auIhor
As long the flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live aud live for million years
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine OF a Scotchmans curse,
would let him live on a dinner each day,
Served from silver golden tray
Served with things both dainty and sweet,
Served with everythng-but things to eat,
| would make him a bed OF slken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers Of down and tllets Of lace
And downy pillows piled in place,
Yet when TO his comfort he would yield,
II would bring up visions Of battlefield
And blood and brains and bones OF men
Should cover him, smother him, aud then
His pillow should cling with heavy clay
Clay from the grave Of a soldier boy;
And while Gods stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves their white sands sweep,
He should never never seep,
And through all the days-through all the years
There should be an anthem in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge OF light to the set OF SUM-
Moaning and moaning and moaning wild,
An injured French girls little child
And I'd build him a castle by the sea-
As lovely a castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea-
As fine a ship as ever could be-
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands
Scarce may he reach out his eager hands
Than hot and hesh molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell;
And though he'd watch by the wave swept shore
Our Lusitana would rise more
In mo Mans Land where the Irish fell
I'd start the Kaiser private hell
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas
And in each wound I'd your ground glass;
I'd march him out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads he crucfed
In the fearful gloom Of his living tomb
There is one thing I'd do before | was through
I'd make him sing in a stirring manner
The wonderful words of The Star Spanged Banner"

AMERICAN GIRLS
PEDDLE GOODS IN
RUINED DISTRICTS

All through the war American
women have proved that they could
express their sympathy and iden-
tity OF interest with the allies in
deeds better than in words. Their
latest achievement in France is the
revival OF the ancient industry of
peddliug. according 10 q report sent
80 the department of labor. IN
stead Of a two-Wheeled cart, a Ford
car makes the rounds and girls
have superseded the men who long
ago hagElei over a SOU.
When all the railroad tracks
were wrecked and the roads were
impossible for ordinary trucks, the
women Of the American committee
for devastated France thought of
the old-fashioned method of carry
ing supplies about the country. So
they devised the mOderniZed ped
ding system.
Wherever the highways or coun-
trysiie admits Of the passage Of a
vehicle, there the little travelling
shops may be seen making regular
trips to the almost inaccessible
hah5tati0us. The cars are driven
and the supplies are disposed Of by
volunteer American saleswomen.
From dawn to long after dark each
saIesWoman is kept busy with her
scales for weighing -four, her cash
box and her price list Fifty viii
lagos a week are covered by these
travelling shops.
In the ruins Of what we're once
houses and now are only cellars the
people of northern France. who
have a little money to spend for
the necessaries Of life, are no bet
ter on than the very poorest inhab
itants. for there is nothing to buy.
The travelling shops gradually
learned exactly what sort of stocks
to provide Beginning with an as
eOrImeur of groceries, other things
were added. so that nov, in addi-
ton TO rice. coffee, lard, cocoa,
canned meats. condensed milk and
other edihies, blankets, sheets, pots
and tin plates, knives, lamps and
rrocms are carried InasmUch as

store for miles around, a paper Of
pins and q cake of soap are lux
Urfes as well as neCessaries
Entering Z ruined town the chauf-
fause blows three blasts on her
whistle. The saleswoman gets her
goods out for display and then from
shell holes. from behind broken
walls and from beneath improvised
shelters persons of all ages hurry
forth 10 get what they can
Those who can pay are asked
one-third of the original cost OF
each article Those who cannot pay
are given what thCy need Many
take their supplies and pay little
