Personal Reports of Real Cases
AN IOWA CASE,

Mrs. A. H. Schierholz, s13 w.
Third St., Boone, Iowa, says: II
suffered a great deal from kidney
and bladder trouble. Backache
was the beginning OF 1t; at times,
/ thought my back was broken.
On getting up In the morning I
was stin and sore across my kid
neys and I could hardly straight
en- up. My kidneys didn't act
right and caused annoyance. I
felt miserable all over and kept
going from bad to worse. Medi-
cine had very little effect on me
and I ever put six weeks In the
hospital, but after that, II seemed
as II !. was growing worse. I
was beginning to think there was
no cure for me, but finally, I be-
gan taking Doan's Kidney Pills.
They cured mo and madA me feel
like q different person."

To Subscribers.

In order to comply with the or
ders of the War Industries Board,
due notice of which we have pub
lished from week to week for some
time, those subscribers to The Com
mercial who are in arrears for sub
scription as much as three months
will be dropped from the list next
week. The orders are effective Nov.
2. 1918, and we are undertaking to
comply as nearly as possible with all
the Government regulations as they
concern either our business or our
personal affairs. So next week our
subscribers who have neglected to
pay up their subscriptions within
three months of the time of expira-
ton must not be surprised If they
don't get the paper.
We are expected now to collect all
subscriptions in advance and the or
ders allow us three months In
which to do this. These orders
CnanRo Ln6 Olu circuit SySIeM dhoh5
the weeklies to a cash basis. The
daily paper gets it's subscription in
advance, and hereafter the weekly
paper will do practically the same
thing. You pay for the paper before
it is mailed, with the exception that
if the publisher is willing three
months is allowed.
The Government is not doing this
to control the business of the news
papers, but to cause them to reduce
the amount of paper consumed, and
naturally some subscribers will be
dropped from the list, especially
those who do not wish the paper to
come year after year unless it is or
dered. Thereby small cmount Of
the paper used in the weekly offices
will be saved.
Please take notice and govern
yourselves accordingly.

and we layed along side of a brick
wall. We did not know which way
the German line was so we could
get better protection, so we were
running from one side to the other
of the brick wall So they finally
came over so heavy that we did not
know what to do, so VIC crawled in
to these holes the machine guns and
infantry lay in. There we could see
the shells burst over our heads and
the red hot schrapnel falling down
over us and long side of us. He
shelled us for one-half hour. There
were three of us and sergeant. We
thought our day was near. When
he got thru Smelling us we got to
the dug out where the dressing sta
ton was. We did not go to sleep
till IL o'clock. We had two in
fantry guards on duty to watch for
gas The night passed on all right.
We got little sleep. But the next
day he shelled the town so that there
wasn't many buildings standing, all
that was left was maybe the side of
O wall. It's good we didn't get any
wounded in that day, but the next
day there was patrol went across
the river. 1t was early in the morn
ing, about o'clock when they went
over. 1t was not long before few
came in wounded A lieutenant,
with machine gun bullet in his
cheeks, a corporal, one thru his
neck right by his wind pipe, and a
private, with one thru his fingers.
They swan back across the river to
the first aid station. After they
were dressed old Fritz started to
shell the place again. He kept 1t
I'D for about four hours. We could
not get an ambulance, the wires
were all broken and we could not
go for one while he was Smelling so.
Towards evening the wires were
fixed and they said they coud not
send an ambulance up to us, so we
had to put him on litter and carry
him half mile. But we could hear
the shells whistle over our heads.
forgot to say the Smelling he did that
day was mostly all gas shells, there
fore, We had our masks on nearly all
day. When night came he started
to throw over high explosive and
star shells, which lit the whole
country up. We went to sleep about
4 o'clock in the morning. Then we
heard that. the boys were going over
the top; that the Dutchmen were
retreating. l suppose you will hear
of this drive in the American papers
before you get this letter.
The boys are doing great work
over here. l hope they will give our
division a rest soon, as it gets on
your nerves so a man can't stand it
very long. Let Aunt Katie and Aunt
Ellen read this, as / don't have time
to write ALL Then they can see what
soldiers life is in France, but they
take it with smile.

Lucky Thirteen.

Maybe 13 is an unlucky number,
but it is hard to convince any mem
Der of this company that it is hard
luck. A few reasons why:
When leaving Texas our train
consisted of 10 cars. Left New York
for France on the 18th of August,
1918. The ship company that own
ed the boat we crossed on had 10
letters in it. There were 13 black
cats on that ship. We were on the
water 20 days, 13 of which we we're
moving. While in England we were
13 hours there, and from the time
we left England until we got to our
rest camp it was 13 hours and some
minutes. We slept in billet No. 13
in the rest camp. We landed at
LIE Harve Franco another 10.
On the 18th of September, 10
months after leaving Now York, we
opened for the first time in the his
tory of the United States Army or
any allied army field hospital on
No Mans Land on the same day
that intense fighting took place
there, thing which we are very
proud Of
We haven't lost a man by death
and only one man slightly wounded
by bomb splinter. Should we think
No. 10 has a jinx affixed to it. No.

From France.

Dear Cousin Carrie: l have just
received your letter and like to get
them very much. You said you
wanted to know how liked France.
Tell YOU the truth, / don't like it
very much. All you see is hills and
valleys and you come to small town
three or four miles apart. They make
the houses out of mud and straw;
the floors are of stone or of clay and
they have the horses and cows in the
back part of the house and the chick
ems the same, and when the soldiers
come in a town the cows and horses
and pigs move out and we move in,
so that's the way the soldiers life is
in France. l will tell you q little
about what we have to go thru. We
had left quiet front when / wrote
the last letter but now we are on
what you can call front. You see
the company does not go to the
front. They only send half of them
up at a time. l did not go up the
first time. The company takes the
line one week and half of the COM
pany goes up and the other half
stays in reserve. / was one of them.
Then they come back and take over
the wounded station and the next
week the gas station. This is called
small rest, as your nerves can't
stand it up there long. We take the
lines over next week. So it was my
turn to go up. 1t was last Sunday
night we left. We couldn't go up
until it was dark When it was time
to go up it was about half past eight
and the ambulance driver did't know
the way so we had a corporal who
knew the way and he went with us.
1t was raining and it was so dark
that you couldn't see your hands be-
fore your face, and the roads were
slippery and full of shell holes. When
we got up about three-fourths of the
way we hit shell hole and threw
us along side Of the road in ditch,
the back went in up to the axle and
the front went in up to the hubs,
so we got out and lifted old Henry
Ford out and the shells were. whist
ling over our heads. When we got
about 100 yards from the town
where we were going ono came over
our heads, so we got out of tho am
bulance. Then another came over

Somewhere In France.
Your cousin,
WILL G.. MUARER.

Miss Lorena Freeman, Union City,
Tenn.-Dear Friend: Will write
you a few lines this pretty Sunday
morning. This leaves me still doing
fine and liking the country better
every day stay here. Am at work
hard, but am enjoying it greatly.
Have been hiking a great deal, but
have had good roads on which to
travel, so it is not so bad. When
not hiking we are always doing
something, as soldier without en-
ployment is not much soldier and is
not of much use to either his coun-
try or himself. We had nice trip
over and all enjoyed it. Some few
were very seasick for awhile, but
that all passed off in a short time
and soon we were having as good a
time as if we were on land. We stop
ped in two different rest camps and
remained for few days. Have been
at this place for quite while.
The people of France all live in
towns or small villages. Their houses
are all built of stone and covered
with tile. Part of the house is also
used for barn. The upper story is
used for hay and grain, while in the
lower part they keep their oxen and
farming tools. They have few horses
and use the crudest of farming tools.
We are having some real cool
weather here now. Had some frost
in August and some since then. The
mornings are so cool that we can
wear sweaters and coats with COM
fort and we sleep under two or three
heavy blankets at night. Guess the
climate is good for us tho, as the
people who live here are healthy and
robust. The people are very good
to us and seem to know that we are
their best friends. They are an odd
sort of people, but we have gotten
accustomed to them and their ways
so that they don't seem so quaint to
us now. They are lots behind Amer
lea. but perhaps they are doing just |
as we'll.
l suppose Oscar is in the army by
now. Wish he were in the artillery
with me. Give my best regards to
all and write soon.
Your old teacher,
FRANK CALDWELL.
