SAFE. GENTLE REMEDY
 CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has been a standard household remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach trouble, and all diseases connected with the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad- der are the most important organs of the body. They are the filters, the purifiers of your blood If the poisons which enter your system through the blood and stom- ach are not entirely thrown out by the kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
 Weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, backache, stomach trouble, headache. pain in loins and lower abdo- men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when urinating. cloudy and bloody urine, rheu- matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you to look after your kidneys and bladder. All these indicate some weakness of the kidneys or other organs or that the enemy microbes which are always present in your system have attacked your weak spots. GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules are what you need.

OFFICER WINS HIGH PRAISE
Second Lieutenant John |. Conroy of the Marines Highly Commended
 By Commanding Officer.

The bulldog tenacity and nerves or steel which characterized the opera &ionS of the United States marines in their classic capture of Chateau Thier- ry and Bclleau wood in the second bat tie of the Marne earned unusual com mendation for Second Lieutenant John I. Conroy of the marines. The com manding officer of his regiment wrote to the brigade commander that Lieu tenant Conroy was conspicuous in his services to the battalionS in line, carried on his duties at a storm cen ter of bombardment by enemy high explosive shrapnel and gas shells.
 ''Throughout this period ne supplied the troops in line with ammunition, ra- tionS. water and engineer stores with tirelesS energy, marked executive abil- Ity. foresight and absolute fearless ness at all hours of the day and night. He never failed in crisis and only bulldog tenacity and nerves of steel made it possible for him to discharge his multIfariOuS duties. When enemy fire exploded an ammunition dump un- der his charge his energy and cool ness confined the damage to a mini mum."

one side Of the coach, which resemble
little booths, though they are very neat
ly furnished, six or eight persons riding
in each booth, depending on whether
you are riding first, second or third
class. To pass from the coach to a
diner one has to get off at a station
while the train is still, there being no
passway from car to car. At least |
have found it that way in my limited
experience.

looked to be starving or very hungry.
OF course, you notice the absence OF
men about the towns, except old men
and boys. Lots Of French soldiers are
in evidence, at home on furloughs, I
guess. / have also seen some German
prisoners, in spite Of my recent arrival
here.

I know Is of much value to me, and l
think I shall soon be able to talk a lit
tie French.

HERE is TONIC FOR
"FLU" VICTIMS.

As a tonic to build up the strength
and appetite after an attack Of influ-
enza there is nothing better than beef
extract and beef tea, according to Miss
Clara Hasslock. emergency home dem
onstration agent at the farm develop
ment bureau.
Miss Hasslock recommends the fol-
lowing receipts:
Beef Extract-Cut round steak into
small pieces. Put into a sterile an
ming jar, cover and place the jar into
a kettle of cold water. Heat the water
gradually and keep at a temperature Of
1870 Fahrenheit for two hours. Turn
meat from the jar and press until the
juice is extracted. Season with salt and
serve in a hot cup.
Beef Tea-One pound beef steak, cut
from round; two cups cold water; salt
to season.
Prepare the beef as for beef extract,
put in a sterile jar or double boiler,
add cold water and heat gradually,
keeping the temperature at 1870 degrees
Fahrenheit for two hours. Increase the
temperature at the end Of that time
until the liquid becomes a chocolate
color and the albuminous juices are
slightly coagulated. This removes the
raw taste of the tea. Season with salt.
Serve either hot or cold.
