Paris People Should Not Wait Until
It Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the
fact that the little kidney troubles
are are usually neglected until they
become serious. The slight symptoms
often give place to chronic disorders
and the sufferer may slip gradually
into some serious form of kidney
complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural, do not delay. Help the
kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thous-
and people have recommended them.
Here's a Paris case:
Mrs. Chas McCord, South Pleasant

Kidney Pills at different times, get

Cleveland Lewis, a former resident
of this county, who is now in France
as member of the American EXpe-
dictionary Force. evidently is greatly
pleased, to judge from the tone of the
following letter to his mother, MIS-.
Hilda Lewis, of near Paris. In bis
letter Lewis says, in part:
In France, Nov. 1st.
Dear Mother:-I am glad of the
opportunity to write to you, the first
chance / have really had for some
time. The best thing I can say is
that am well, and doing well at the
time this letter is written. +. L have
received your letters and I want you
to know what great pleasure it has
been to read them. If the folks back
home could just know what pleasure
a fellow really gets out of getting a
letter they would just do nearly all
naturally want to hear from him in
return occasionally.
Il like this country fine and / will
have a great deal to tell you when
come home, which l am sure will not
be very long off. Did you get my
Christmas label all right? You know
I will be sure to look for something
along about the Xmas time. Tell
everybody that / am just all right
over here and that I like the country
all o. K There are lots of pretty
girls here in Sunny France. We CAN
not understand very much they say
but there is another language, that
of the eyes and by signs that passes
very we'll for it. We smile and they
smile back, and then some Frenchy
comes along and tells them something
and they smile broader than ever
but not at our greenness though, but
because he has told them something
complimentary. I'll tell you what
mother, the French people have
grown to love the American soldiers
even the girls try to tell us they do
Everybody is all right over here, but
would rather be back in the good
old county of Bourbon.
II will certainly be glad when we
can know that we have won this war

American boys can come marching

ming a war for freedom :. Think O.
me when you hear that We have
started on our homeward journey

very much to tell, and that will b.

The following letter, written by
George L. (Tommie) Frakes, to his
mother. Mrs. Carrie F. Stone. tells
something of the war conditions in
France as he saw them. Young
Frakes is member of the 22d Engi-
neer Battalion, doing duty with the
American Expeditionary Force in
France. He has been in the war zone
long enough to hear the shrek of
she'll and the hiss of shrapnel. He
says, in part:
In France, Nov. 5.
Dear Mother:-Well, it seems
strange that / should be here, but
here am, and hoping to get back
sound and all right again, which I
hope will be very soon. 1 am right
here on the firing line. Here comes
the mail and with two letters from
you. Oh, tell you that letters GER
tainly do look good to us, and es-
pecially when they come from the
home folks. One fellow here told me
that he would stand on his head and
crack his feet in the air when he gets
q letter from home, and reads of the
doings back there. L am here with
the 22d Engineers Coprs, the same
bunch that left FIT. Benjamin Harri-
son some time ago and came across
the big blue ocean in the interest of
putting the blink on Prussianism End
the chief guy, de Kaiser. Of course,
1 cannot tell you just right where we
are located, as we are not permitted
IN write ANYTHING of that kind and
you will not be apt to know until the
war is over, which 1 hope will be
soon. i will tell you this, however,
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-12-10

that we are in a hot country, as far
as fire works are concerned. / am
down in my dugout or hut now try
ing to write this letter by the light
OF piece of tallow candle. Candles
are not an easy thing to get here,
either, so i am writing in a hurry in
order to save the candle to the end
as far as possible. We don't get
much time in the day and not a great
deal of time in the night. :. q. AT this
time, November S, it looks as if we
Americans may have a hand in end
ing this war pretty soon, from what
can hear. We get plenty of OK
element now all the time, with big
shells and shrapnel bursting all
around us all the time. / had a time
getting used to it, but don't mind it
at all now. 1t is getting hard to te-
come used to the "whiz-bangs," as
we call these immense shells that
burst around us. They are certainly
terrors, and there's nothing in the
English language that can describe
the horrible noise they make when
they explode. But our boys hand it
right back to them with some of the
same kind, and then some more, end
the Boches have learned to have a
great respect of our gunners.
| Il am in hopes that my Christmas
label will reach you in time for you
to send me a box of candy. Isn't a
funny thing how the soldiers all love
candy? Why, mother, some of us
would almost give our chances for re-
turning to America, if we could get
a good bunch of real sure-enOugh
American candy once in a while. We
do get chocolate candy once in a

in this French candy. We get things

teen. They are great institutions,
and the soldiers surely do appreciate
them. The Red Cross, though. There,
mother, is the greatest thing in
France to-day. Don't believe any boy
in the army will say anything else.
There's the mess call, and that's
one thing that makes a fellow be
punctual, so 1 will get busy and
answer the bugler. Hope to hear
from you real soon, and hope to be
back in America and back in Paris
before the winter is over. With love,
l am,

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHOULD a GIRL ACCEPT TREATS.
DEAR MISS EAIREAN.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
y and B hay been friends for a
short time; one day B. in a discussion
with b. said if a girl were true
friend and lady she would not allow
a gentleman to pay for her amuse-
ments. meals. etc, when she is out
with him. Now, Miss Fairfax, \ is
not the kind of girl who wants to
have a man spend money to make her
have a good time, but don't you think
if gentleman invites a lady out he
should pay her expenses?
b gave as an example. young
lady whom he has known for eight
years and who refuses to allow him
to pay her share when they go out.
not for so much as a frappe. Recently
u party OF boys and girls, including \
and b. went out on a pleasure trip. A
refused to allow Is to pay for her fare
and meals, which angered b. Was A
right in acting so, and what should
do in the future? b is a gentle
man otherwise.
This young man must be buying a
great many Thrift Stamps, which is
most praiseworthy. but he is abso-
lutely wrong about the other matter
l a man invites girl out, it is under
stood he pays for tickets, meals and
such expenses, unless the party is
frankly planned as a Dutch treat"
and every one pays for himself.
l think, under the circumstances
was quite right in objecting to re-
ceive any hospitality from b after his
discussion on this subject Perhaps
is not so stingy as he appears,
maybe he is only a little rusty in the
matter of social usages.
AN UNFORTUNATE TRIANGLE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What should a wife do who sees her
husband drawn away by the evil in
fluences of a woman who happened to
be a member of the same family and
with whom he must come in contact
every day. The woman Is married.
PERPLEXED.
This is very difficult matter on
which to offer advice, and will depend
very much on the type of woman who
, is maing the mischief and her previ-
Gus record and character. II she is
nothing worse than a silly flirt, per-
| haps she could be induced to give up
her dangerous pastime if she realizes
the unhappinesS she is creating, but
| if she is a Vampire who does this
! thing knowingly. there is little hope
to be placed in any possible humanity
she may have.
Very often wives have triumphed ID
in this sort of situation by what may
| be called a divine patience. They wait
and they are kind and forbearing to
the misguided husband, and in time
he realizes his folly or gets tired and
Games back. Men, like cats, are crea-
lures of habit. and they don't like to
depart from the old home or abandon
their daily associations. A waiting
game, with much forbearance and no
complaints. has often won the day.
