MEMOS NOT
MUCH HELP

Because the government has
been slow to pay the allotments
soldiers have made to their de-
pendents from their monthly pay,
Camp Lewis Is issuing memoranda
showing the amount Of the allot-
ment and stating that it has not
been paid.
The system, it was thought,
would reduce the trouble many
wives have had in obtaining credit
from stores and from house own
ers, but according to information
received here the slips have been
worthless as basis for credit in
some cities.
Storekeepers have refused to
recognize them, some Of them
claiming thrat they have no proof
that they have not been used for
the same purpose in dozen other
stores.
The judge advocates office is
considering the problem and it is
possible that the wives will be adj
vised to offer the memos as col
lateral security or have them in
dcrsed by the storekeeper for the
amount of credit she desires.

of international importance.
He was arrested Nov. 81 and

his arrest was made public. The
government sough to try him for
treason, but for reasons not made
public by the war department he
was finally ordered informed in
stead.

guard house was a model prison

those who had to deal with him.
He lost considerable flesh
while in the guard house, 1t is

had been accustomed.
He will be sent to an inter-

A red nose that dribbles with
mucus is an unsightly misery. A
breath tainted with the odor Of
catarrh Is an offense against all
health and decency. A stomach
filled with droppings from dis
eased nasal cavaties may cause un-
told misery, and ruins the COM
plexion. The bowels clogged with
strings Of ropy mucus indicates
a body literally reelzing with ca
tarrh, causing pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions.
The blood, swarming with mill
lions of catarrh germs, entails up
on the kidneys q labor that may
break them down; the lungs and
bronchial tubes, soourged with the
destructive influence of systemic
