do my bit toward quickly ending the
war"
The prevailing epidemic and the
peace cry from Germany (perhaps for
that very purpose) have undoubtedly
slowed up the fourth Liberty Loan.
And yet every American should real
ize that the thing that will end the
war sooner than any single military
success. is proof to the people of Ger
many that America is ready to pour
out unlimited billions to end Prus-
sianism and Kultur frightfulness.
We must put this loan over with a
big margin.
We must do it quickly
We must do it cheerfully.
That would be an advance worth
shouting about. That would save the
lives Of many American boys by
shortening the war.
Come on, now-George can't do 1t
all: let US do our part.

'Better be Careful About

BY, N. B. COOK, NJ. D.

and some OF these changes are poi
SONS that must be sifted out and dis
posed of. It is the duty Of the kid
.neys to do this. When the Kidneys
do not fully perform their vital work.
death may be only few hours away.
Happily, Nature has provided warn
ing alarms telling people when their
kidneys are not well. These warn
ings come in the form OF. dragging
pains in the small of the back, weak
stomach, low spirits, chills. nausea,
headache. scanty urine and frequent
desire to pass it, short breath, numb
ness, cramps, coated tongue, bad
breath, puts under. the eyes, thin
blood. dry skin, ringing in the ears,
spots before the eyes and many other
symptoms. All come from the one
cause of kidneys that are not altering
the poisons out Of the system. To
overcome these troubles. DR.. Pierce,
Of Buffalo. N. Y, compounded what
he calls .Anuric Tablets. No other
kidney medicine, is its equal in giving
relief and re-establishing healthful
work in the kidneys. The treatment
is very simple. as you need nothing
except water when taking Anuric
Tablets-a glass of water with each
tablet. This washes and Pushes the
kidneys while the medicine itself is
Observing the uric acid poisons and
driving them out. Anuric Tablets are
made double strength. SO that they
dissolve uric acid the same as hot
water dissolves salt or sugar. Most
people need Anuric Tablets because
mos: people have uric acid. Better
get that poison out of your body for
safety's sake, and better begin today.
TIC gently and agreeably coax the
bowels back into normal activity,
take DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They are Just as good for costiveness
as his Anuric Tablets are good for
kidney disorders, and that is saying
q great deal.

I must tell you a little incident that
happened at the other camp. had
worked rather late, and thought a

sleepy, so I shaved and dolled UP.

lady I should say. as she most GER

She carried beautiful bouquet of
flowers. I asked her where she was
going with the pretty bouquet. She
said, ITO decorate some American
boys graves" OF course was in

One was lieutenant, the other a
sergeant. The lieutenant was killed
in a crash, the sergeant lost his life
boating on the river. She asked me
il I cared to walk there, SO I said,
II don't mind" You should see how
nicely the graves were taken care Of

miss if these boys that lost their lives
were friends, and she said, mo,

Don't you think that was beautiful
