SEND IN YOUR BOOK

At the last meeting of the Rotary
club it was voted that each member
furnish any book which he might
think would be interesting to the SOL
der boys. These were to be left
at the Office of Secretary A. H. Zim-
norman, or at the public library. The
librarian, Miss Cora Lansing, is ar
ranging to send box of reading mat
ter to the soldiers in few days. So
far, very few books have come in
from the members of the Rotary club.
Get busy. There are none so desti-
tute of books that they cannot find
one to send to the boys at the front.

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and SULPHUR
Recipe and Nobody Will Know

The use of Sage and SULPHUR for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull. faded or streaked appear-
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle OF
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound you will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addi-
tio.l Of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft. brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

APPETITE AND
DIGESTION ARE
BOTH GOOD NOW
How a Williamsport Woman Correct
cd Her Stomach Trouble and
Recovered Her Health

Many people are alarmed about
their hearts unnecessarily. Organic
heart disease rarely causes pain
around the heart. In nire cases out
of ten the pains are caused by the
pressure of gas produced by indiges-
ton and a tonic for the stomach is
all that is needed.
The case of Mrs. Clyde Edwards, of
No. 1854 High street, Williamsport,
Pa, is good illustration of the effec-
tive treatment OF stomach trouble by
the use of a home tonic. Mrs. Ed
wards says:
Il was generally run down and my
health was getting poorer all the
time. My stomach bothered me and
gas would crowd my heart. My
stomach would get sour and bloat
after eating and 1 was in misery
most of the time. Headaches were
frequent and severe. Sometimes /
would get dizzy spells, again l would
have chills and cold sweats. My ap-
petite was poor.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in the newspapers and one day
got box at the Millener drug store
and gave them trial. I found that
they relieved me at once and now
after taking them for five weeks, my
health is good. l have gained in
strength, have no pain after eating,
am free from headache and, in fact.
have no more of the disagreeable
symptoms. My appetite and diges-
ton are good now.
Il have told others what DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills have done for me
and am glad to recommend the rem
edy."
When food lies undigested in the
stomach it ferments and gas forms.
The condition is caused by a low
tone of the digestive organs and a
lack Of rich red blood resulting in
deficient nerve force. 1t is a con-
dition that calls for a tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, tonic for
the blood and nerves, have been used
with great success in the treatment
of this form Of stomach trouble.
Cold baths in the morning followed by
brisk friction with a rough towel will
help as they stimulate the circulation
but a tonic treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills by building up the
blood, restoring the nerve force and
making the stomach able to do its
work gives the most lasting benefit.
With their use the appetite increases,
digestion becomes normal and i'm
provement in the general health fol-
lows with certainty.
You are trying no experiment when
you take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They cannot harm the most delicate
system.

Dearest Mother: l am now in the

decided to send a bunch of us boys
over here. l can't say how long it
will be before l will be able to return
to duty, but remember as long as l
am here l am not ducking bullets.
We had a lovely ride across the
English Channel. After getting off
the boat we had about a two and a
half hours trip on the train to Lon
don. AS we were pulling into Lon
don we got glimpse of the House
of Parliament, Westminster Abbey
and the ST. Paul Cathedral. At the
station we were served tea, crackers
and cigarettes by the British Red
Cross, they were lovely. Then we
were brought to the hospital in
private cars or autos. 1t seemed like
a dream to see real English speaking
people after having been in the
bitches of No Mans Land.
The doctors, nurses and orderlies
are all Americans and. Mother,
words cannot express how happy the
boys were when they found this out.
Really we had begun to think that we
were Englishmen on account of be-
ing with them so much.
l know this will be good news.
Mother. and hope that it is not too
good to be true. I understand that l
am no longer on the Company roster,
that is, If a fellow goes to hospital,
he is crossed off the company's war
strength, SO l am free to go to some
other regiment if I feel like it. If

OUR VS.
OUR cOUNIRY'S SERVICE

Mrs. Thomas Walker of High

Dear Aunt Fie: We expect to be
landing soon, that is, within a few
days and so am for that reason get
ting off a few letters so that they
shall be on their way back as soon
as possible. We have experienced a
particularly rough trip going through
a severe three days storm. most of
the boys being sick. 1t is much bet

can be and that is not saying whole
lot. l was particularly fortunate in
not being i'll in any way and enjoyed
every minute of the trip. Our mess
was especially good and although not
served in what you might call first
class style it was as good as could
be expected under the existing con-
ditions, SO many being served at the
same time. 1t would be surprising
to see how we'll every soldier is
taken care of, considering the large
number carried. Every man has his
bunk to sleep in. although it was
little warm at times. Each morning
every man on board was examined by
doctor as to his physical condition.
and for any disease that might be
prevalent. We had lecture on
French or some important subject
pertaining to the war practically
every morning. During the afternoon
each company had physical exercise
of some kind. From this you can see
that we were kept fairly busy, the
trip not being SO much of a drag as
it otherwise might have been. One
thing that interested me especially
of losing sight of land. You would
naturally expect them to be more or
less downhearted at a moment like
this when you consider that it might
be year or two before any of them
return again, but on the contrary
they were happy and carefree, sing
ing until dark. Most Of the boys
staid on deck until about ten o'clock
watching the last flicker of the light
house in the harbor. Everyone is
now on deck looking eagerly for the
first sight of land. They are all
anxious to be lin it, now that we are
so near. l will close now as it is
near mess time and ! don't want to
be late where there is anything to
eat concerned. Remember me to
