Sure Reach Soldiers, Says
Raymond Fosdick

II found the books of the American
Library Association everywhere in
France" says Raymond Fosdick, chair
man of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has lust
returned from an extended trip over
seas, during which he conducted a
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
Il found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
Il have found them in HOSPITALS and
dressing stations; in scattered VILLAGES
IN the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work. Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America
until they come back home after serv-
Ice over there"
The A. L. A. library service has
grown tremendously within the past
few months and millions of books
have been distributed wherever sol.

What to do with the returning SOL

are situated. 1t will mean busy
scenes upon lands now idle and it will

cities and town Of the States.
North Carolina has an immense
amount of such idle land. 1t can be
used for the raising Of cattle or car

IT'S HARD TO WORK
When Suffering From Kidney Ills
Many Lumberton People Find
This to Be True.

What's SO hard>as a days work with
an aching back?
Or sharp "stabs" Of pain with every
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from the dull
ache
No rest from the soreness, lameness
and WEAKNESS. If the kidneys are
disordered you can't reach the cause
too soon.
Neglect is often fatal.
Weak kidneys need prompt atten-
ton.
Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at
A tested and proven kidney rem
edy.
Lumberton readers should find new
hope in the following statement.
Mrs. w. S. Cashwell, 500 Chippewa
ST., Lumberton, says: 81 suffered
with sharp pains in my back and
limbs and often had a weak feeling
across my kidneys. My back hurt me
so that when 1 would bend over ]
would have to press my hands to my
hips to ease the pains. 1 had dizzy
spells and black specks would float
before my eyes. Mornings 1 felt sc
lame and sore my work was a bur-
den. My ankles swelled, my kidneys
didn't act properly and l was in pretty
bad shape. 1 began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills and they soon had me or
