where the lady Of the house was up TO

be making goodies for her boys When
the women were asked to take an nu-
tomobile ride for a little recreation,
they insisted they didn't have the time
to spare. for the boys needed all the
doughnuts they could make. And these
two brave women said the only COM
plant they had to make was that they
were not allowed to carry their pies
and doughnuts into the first line
trenches a few kilometers away.
My old idea of the Salvation Army
as drum beating lot of preachers on
New York street corners went a-van-
ishing, and got new and bigger idea
of what this organization was doing.
And every. soldier I talked to swore
that. he would never forget the Saliva
ton Army.
"'it's like this said the motherly
looking woman, wiping the flour from
her hands. we thought some one ought
to care for the boys as their mothers
at home would do. and we undertook
the job in our humble way. l only wish
we could do more, We know that the
boys need more than sermons and
songs here. They miss the care and
the kindness of home and we want to
give them little of something as near
like it as possible. We sell everything
at cost, and we would give it away
only if we did that we couldn't keep up
the work, because we could not buy the
supplies. You see, we have to buy
everything we use

BETTER TITAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with caiomei.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little oliye-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teethe
Calome sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It IS best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, @dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
q disordered liver. Take DR.: Edwards.
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy' and
sheavy." Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits.

Modern high heeled footwear buckles

YPREs NOT VITAL
Fall of Ruined City Would Not Mean
Loss of Channel Ports.


Washington, May THE battle for
possession of the ruins of Ypres is re-
garded by officials here conversant
with reports from American observers
ins France as only an incident of the
German drive. They do not foresee an
extensive retirement of British lines
in this region even if the enemy gains
this shattered village at the apex Of the
allied lines in Flanders.
Ypres is important because Of the
high ground about it. But if it Is lost
it is believed here every inch of ground
behind it will be as bitterly contested
by the British and French troops as
has each step forward the enemy has
made for the last ten days. Even the
whole Ypres salient officers here think
has no strategic value, which justifies
the assumption that its loss might force
a general retreat over a wide front.
Should the rate of advance they have
made for the last two weeks be main
tanned by the Germans it is estimated
that it would take. weeks for them to
reach positions which seriously threat

Another German Lie.

London, April 30.-The admiralty has
issued the following:
In today's German wireless the
following statement appears: From
papers found on American aviators
who were shot down it has been
proved that for their own safety many
of them crossed over on hospital ships,
certified as members of the American
Ambulance Service in France
NO hospital ship, British or Amer
lean. has ever carried anybody but in
vaiids and the necessary medical staff.
Further. there are no hospital ships
working on the cross channel route.
The whole statment therefore is fab
rication. The American naval author
tiles state that they have some few
ayiators who were in the allied ambu-
lance service in France before the
United States came into the war. but
even in such cases these men crossed
the Atlantic in ordinary ships. taking
their full chance of being torpedoed
