Each of some 5000 newspapers OF
the United States is publishing from

particular ne,ghborhood, wAo have
used and recommended Doan's Kid

kidneys, bladder troubles and urin-

Okolona is no exception. Here is
one of the Okolona cases:
]. w. Sanders, carpenter, Wash

bothered by backache and sharp
pains across my kidneys. My back
was so weak and lame. it hurt me to
lift anything. 1 finally got Doan's
Kidney Pills and couple of boxes
cured me. From that day to this, a
period of five years, have worked
hard and have never felt the least
trouble with my back and kidneys.
A little member of my family COM

confronts us. Imagine that you
are standing at the gate of a
great factory through whose
work rooms it takes three hours
to pass, walking rapidly with
only passing chances at the diff
ferent processes of work. 1t is
noon and through the gates
there streams thousands Of
workmen, Algerians, Chinese,
Portuguese, Sengalese, and |
know not what other kinds Of
workers. Then lastly hundreds

pathetic sight for it means much
to woman to sacrifice her per-
sonal attractiveness, and it is
the everlasting glory of the
French and British women that
they have thrown theirs into the
scales of patriotism without a
murmer. Once OUT Of the gate
many of these women have no
comfortable place to go for
meals or rest. They hasten to
a cold and cherries howell or into
the open wine shop across the
way. Some Of them live in
great barracks provided by the
Government, where there is q
small chance for privacy or
cheer.
SOCIAL CENTERs ESTABLISHED.
We are now establishing social
centers for these women and
girls. Fancy what it will mean
to them after their hours Of hard
physical labor and nervous
strain to come into one Of our
quiet easy huts. They always
find there a secretary ready to
do anything from playing the
victrola to giving an English les
son. One of our secretaries re-
ported 156 in one English class.
They read, write letters. mend
stockings, sing, dance or just
plain rest. Back OF, the man at
the front who shoots the shells
is the women who make them,
and ifl through unhappiness or
loneliness or illness her efficiency
is impaired, he finds his task of
winning the war much harder.

al for our khaki clad soldiers to
come up and call for lust plain

difficult to secure in France, and
how eager dur boys are to

of the care given the ''repatries"

territory won back from the
Germans, and of the work of re-
construction of the ruined dis
