there are 13 Montpelier boys In this
battery. which was Company b OF
the old Second Idaho regiment and
all but two or three OF this number

constantly.
Besides the rs boys from Montpel-
Ter, there are three or four boys from

DAY STARTS With
A TIRED FEELING
Following Night Of Restless

Mes. Men Must Hark Back To
Childhood To Recall Bright,
Refreshed Feeling On
Arising.

To arise from bed in the morning
feeling fresh and vigorous, ready to
put strong arm and clear brain to
the tasks and problems of the day,
is a blessing that comparatively few
enjoy and the average man must look
back to the days Of his childhood to
recall such feeling. The man of to-
day awakes and goes through the day
feeling sluggish and drowsy because
indigestion has impaired his health,
wrecked his nerves and made refresh
ing sleep an impossibility. A Char
lotte man who has undergone this and
brought himself back to health is Ed

at 8O6 East Fourth ST., who says:

Salvation Army Launches Campaign
Among American Troops.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 13.-(SDeciaD-
In the Salvation Army's campaign
for funds with which to continue its
war work among the American troops,
now in progress throughout the south
east as well as the entire nation,
there will no doubt be many friends Of
the army and its fine work who will
desire to contribute, but who are not
in close touch with any of the army's
posts.
Friends throughout the southeast,
in the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, DESTROYS OF
making voluntary contributions to this
fund, are requested to mail them di-
rect to Hon. Asa G. Gambler, Atlanta,
Ga, Cali Dixie" treasurer for the
campaign and who will gladly receipt
for them. Mr.. Gambler is Atlanta s
mayor and one Of Georgia's foremost
financiers. The first contribution to
come was from DR.. w. c. Linville OF
the State hospital at GoldsborO, N. c.,
whose check Mr.. Gambler has already
acknowledged. All contributions will
be most gratefully received.
This campaign for million dollar
fund begun February IL and will con-
tinue through February %. The ar
my is maintaining 1863 "huts" in
France, located close up to the lines,
where the Salvation army lassies con-
tribute to the comfort Of the soldiers
in many ways, both physically and
spiritually. Every dollar of the mon
ey collected in this campaign will
be devoted to the Salvation Army's
work among the American soldiers,
two thirds of it going to the work in
France and third to that in the
various army environments in the
United States.
Unless this fund is raised the army
will have to abandon it's war work,
concerning which General Pershing
