A BILIOUS ATTACK.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and terrible headache. Take three
of Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost quarter.

There were three other camels there

expected to find the British and
French armies somewhat ragged and
worn after their long struggle. What
he had found was just the reverse.
The British army made him blink: it
was so highly polished and extraor-
dinarily smart, slick, alert and full Of
'swank.' He expected to find low
morale, instead of which he finds it
high. Personally think these officers
had come to criticize, but they remain
to admire in amaze.
"And all this discovery leads to a
certain shyness- something which is
new to Yankee temperament. My two
friends Of the heavy baggage seemed
to regard me as an expert in this war
game, and an expert who had to be
treated with respect. Consciously or
unconsciously, they gave me an as
tendance over them. I was the war
rior, they the tyros coming on to the
field of experience. One day, in a
chatting remark, compared their lord
ly trunks and my little bundle of be-
lOngings, and thereafter the trunks
seemed to call for constant apologies.
I couldn't help watching their progress,
as one watches a schOolboy growing
up, and treating them as juniors,
whose only misfortune was they had
been late in coming into the field"

WIN WAR in KITCHEN
New Slogan of the People of
Great Britain.
Bones Saved by the Housewives Are
Turned Into Munitions of
War.

London-Save that old bone; it may
kill a German.
This is the thought that flashes
through the mind Of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones from the kitchen, that they may
be used in the manufacture of glycer-
in and then Incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval of the
minister of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease, which
yields glycerin for explosives; glue
for the making of airplanes and bone
meal, fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids in the battle
against the German submarines.
For the bones which were formerly
thrown away or burned the housewife
will receive one cent pound from
her butcher or margarine dealer, who

general collector, to whom a fair prof

those unable to go to the front or
otherwise offer their services to the
government.
