Would Almost Seem That This Woman Had Idea Sailors Never Washed
 Their Uniforms.

The waiting room of the Long Island railroad side of the Pennsylvania ter minal was not even crowded the other afternoon when four fashlonably gowned women, two of them carrying large knitting bags, entered from the train platform. The woman who was burdened with the largest bag immedi- ately led the way toward & bench where an American seaman In the uni form of the navy sat reading a book. Without warning the women took seats on either side of him and besieged him with questions.
 T am so interested In you sailor boys" said the leader emphasizing the "so."
 "We're so interested" corrected the youngest of the four.
 'sMy," said the third and apparently next youngest. you've been in the navy four years. I can tell 1t by the stripes on your sleeves. Have you been to sea muchT
 The man grlnned. "Quite bit" he answered.
 Then followed a volley of questions that would have bewildered an oracle. The seaman was asked about the coast of Africa and the cost of tobacco, the climate in Brazil and the storms on the Atlantic.
 Finally the owner of the largest ana heaviest knitting bag made herself heard above the others.
 "Ain't you a thIrd-class gunner" she asked.
 "Uh-huh," was the answer.
 And do you tell me that you've been in the navy for four yearST was the next question.
 "Uh-huh," said the seaman.
 "Four long years" she commented land my, how clean your unifcCm Is.

ROUSEWORK IS A
 BURDEN

Women's lot is a weayr one at best. But with backache and other distressing kidney ills life indeed becomes @ burden. Doan's Kidney Pills have made life brighter for many women. Read what Mrs. Roll Cookston of 1909 E. First Ave, Spokane, Wash, says. "Tbe grip put my kidneys out of order and suffered with a heavy dull pain in the small of my back which kept getting more severe. Some days 1 could hardly do my work for it was almost impossible to bend over. My kidnes were weak and an- noyed me e. great deal, too. was worried, because my feet sWelled and because of the puffiness un- der my eyes. One box of Deans Kidney Pills gave me relief and alter I had used two boxes I was feeling fine in every way" (state- ment given October 16, 1915.)
 On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Cookston saiG,: q have had absolutely no trouble with my kidneys since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and 1 feel better than I have in years;

North Dakota Periodically Re
spends to the Pleas for
Greater Production.

North Dakota is periodically res
bonding to the United States fuel
administrations plea for a greater
production of coal by opening doz-
ems of new coal mines. Some of these
are now producing; others will be
in position to begin digging coal next
summer. Altho North Dakota Ignite
mines are now producing more coal
than they can sell, there is every in
dication that consumption of this ma
tive fuel will be doubled or trebled
next winter, and that any stock-piles
which may be accumulated during the
warm months will be needed.
The United States fuel administra-
ton announces Capt. l. P. Baker, fed
eral fuel administrator for North Da-

coming months the maximum produc-
ton Of coal mines be realized;
that the capacity of the mines be
increased in every practicable way,
and that the normal development of
mining properties be maintained anG

o JUST RUB IT I

Fifteen years ago, in q little IA
Carolina town, a druggist discovd
a process of combining the old.fa\
iOned remedies-Camphor, TurpA
tine and Menthol-with certain voA
tile oils such as Eucalyptus, Thym\
Cube5s and Juniper, so that, when apA,
piled externally, the body heat would
vaporize these ingredients. These
vapors, inhaled all night long, carry
the medication, with each breath, di.
rect TO the air passages and lungs.
Today this vapor treatment, Vfck's
VapoRub, is almost universally used
throughout the South in preference to

particularly to mothers with small
children, it is applied externally and
hence does not disturb the most deli
cate stomach. Colds are easiest treat
ed at the beginning and VapoRub
makes the ideal preventive for the en-
tire family.
This preparation in salva

tightness and soreness in the chest.
Internally. the vapors inhaled loosen

cover with a warm flannel clota. One
application at bedtime prevents a

For very severe chest colds. tonsi-

be rubbed up the nostrils or melted
in a spoon and the vapors inhaled.

actual trial is the best way to prove
how valuable VapoRuo is in the home
and they have accordingly furnished
each druggist in Bismarck with so
free packages to be given away on

it not that labor is so scarce and

make it as fashionable to volunteer
for service in the United States on
farms as it is to volunteer for can

the food output might be many times
multiplied. And surely a uniform and
a title might go with this service;
