THE MEN IN
CLASS Al

A sound, healthy man is never a
back number. A man can be as Wig
orous and able at seventy as at
twenty. Condition, not years, puts
YOU in the discard. A system weak
ened by overwork and careless living
brings old age prematurely. The
bodily functions are impaired and
unpleasant symptoms appear. The
weak spot is generally the kidneys.
Keep them clean and in proper work
ing condition and you will generally
find yourself In Glass Al. Take
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules
periodically and your system will al
ways be in working order Your
spirits will be enlivened, your
supple, your mind active, and
your body capable of hard work.
Don't wait until you have been re-
jected. Commence to be first-class
man now. Go to your druggist at
once. Get a trial box Of GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules. They
are made of the pure, original i'm
ported HARLEM Oil-the kind your
used. Two capsules
each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Money refunded if they
do not help you. Remember to ask
for the imported GOLD MEDAL
Brand. In three sizes, sealed pack
ages.

CAN USE CARS
ON ONE SUNDAY
Automobile Ban East of Mississippi
River Is Removed For Lib
erty Loan Work
Onlv

Keokuk's neighbors in Illinois may
use their automobiles all they choose
week from tomorrow, provided they
use them in promoting the Liberty
loan drive which begins Septem-
Der %.
A Washington dispatch says that
Fuel Administrator Garfield has lift
ed the ban on the use Of motor We
hicIes on Sunday east Of the Missis-
sippi river to such persons as make
use of their cars for the promotion
of the Liberty loan.
This release is made only for Sun
day, September 20, and is not ex-
tended to any earlier or later date.
Gasolineless Sundays are still in
force for pleasure riding, and the
same old regulations are still in force
east of the Mississippi river, with
the single exception Of the use OF
automobiles for the Liberty loan
work on the one Sunday, Septem-
Der 30, which is a week from tomor-
row.
The regard for the gasolineless
Sundays east of the river has been
practically universal there.

How Germans Loot French Homes
While the Germans were short OF
food they certainly live hghter for
awhile when they advance their limo
and get a chance at French property
All throughout the woods, one finds

abandoned trench, and an old clock
Of the hall clock variety which had
evidently been brought from a nearby
chateau.
We were fortunate in the loss Of
men and have no recent deaths in my
battery and most Of the casualties |
have seen will be out Of the hospital
in a short time and back at the front.
Our troops have made great show
ing and the French are tickled to
death with their fighting.
We have moved SO fast that we
haven't been able to keep our sup
plies moving as fast as We do, and 1t
is impossible to buy anything in this
country. AS result. we have been
short Of food On more than one occa-
sion. We never find and food behind
when the Germans leave. They throw
everything else away but food.
We have seen more of the war In
the last fifteen days than in all the
rest of my time in France, and for
that matter guess all the Americans
are in the same boat This IS what we
have been waiting for, however, and
the last month has shortened the war

RUSH TROOPS TO RUSSIA
Britain Increass Force There for
German Attack.
Expedition 10 Sent In Reply to Appeal
Of Thurman Local Govern
ments.

London, July 15.-The British gov,
eminent is sending considerable forces
into the Thurman Region of Russia,
as the result OF an appeal from the
Thurman local governments, II Is
learned from an authoritative source.
Comparatively small forces of Brit
ish, French and Americans were re-
ported to have been guarding a huge
amount of valuable supplies on the
Thurman coast, originally intended for
the Russian armies.
Germany recently announced her
intention of driving the English from
the north of Russia" Finland covets
the Thurman region. For a long time
the Firms and Germans have been
preparing for a joint campaign against
that district.
Recently the population of the Muir
man region declared their independ-
ence from Russia and aligned them
selves with the Allies.
The Bolshevik government then
threatened also to proceed against the
Thurman region.
Thus facing the possibility of hav.
ing to fight the Germans, Firms and
Bolsheviki, the British evidently are
greatly strengthening their forces in
Northern Russia.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 15.-No appre-
ciable change could be detected in the
cattle trade here today. AS is usual
on a Saturday the available supply
was very limited and the few trans
actions completed were quoted as
steady with the previous day. Total
for the six day period looms up large,
1887, IN increase of over 1000
head as compared with last week and
a gain of nearly 1000 over the cor
responding time a year ago. The
marketward movement of cattle from
the ranges helped swell the receipts.
Market has been somewhat irregular,
right good corn feds, upper classes of
grassers holding steady, while the
drift to native grassers has been
downward and more or less discount
is quoted for the period. Stocker and
feeder trade developed decline in the
forepart of the session, but this tend
ed to bring in a broader country call
and the close was slightly improved
over the middle of the week.
Week end supply of hogs at the To-
cal market was on the moderate or
der and change in the market was
again in the way of stronger figures.
Most statesmen summed up the trade
as steady to the average of yesterday,
rounding out advance of 700 5c for
the six day period. Tops reached
$17.45 while the bulk of sales were
at a spread of $16.95017.4O.

This has been about men up to

One big thing that must be inn

One important point to remember
back home Is that the A. Il. +. is the
finest, most outstanding, two-fisted az
g%regation of regular men that the
world has ever seen in an army. A.
few-fortunately very few-have the
idea that u army is surrounded by
depravity. Nothing could be farther
from the truth.
The army is proud of itself and re-
sents imputations against its decency.
Officers resent 1t and men resent 1t.
A captain In the regular establishment
said the other day: "Every mother In
America ought to know that her son
Is safer In our army than he ever was
at home" Which was not more than
