Corp. John Murray Says the Soldiers
Life Is a "Life Worth Living"

Mr.. and Mrs. Donald Murray have re-
ceived letter from their son, Corp John
Murray, who is overseas, dated Oct. IL,
in which he reveals the spirit of those
who are fighting our battles over there,
and their attitude toward German peace
talk. He says:
Everything is going fine over here
now. The enemy is getting more than
he ever bargained for, and he doesn't like
it any too well. He is beginning to see
that it is impossible for him to get any
where but to the rear and that road is
not any too safe for him. We are glad
that Wilson refused to have anything to
do with his peace talk until he got out
of France and Belgium. Until he does,
we shall carry on with all our power
1--WE have worked hard for long time
now, but we feel well repaid for our Ia
bors, as they are bearing fruit that will
not be ripe until the kaiser is down and
out for good.

Science says that old age begins with weak

This being true, 1t Is easy TO believe that by
keeping the kidneys and digestive organs

Now none of the other animals In

Finally Mrs. Rhinoceros, who lived
