you-go American army has been revelation to our European allies.
 Take it all in all, these American expeditionary forces constitute an army which is in every way a worthy successor to the first army Of liberty, whose commandant was George Wash ington. It is proud of it's heritage, proud of you people at home who are supporting it and who are backing it with your labor, your money, your hopes, and your prayers, proud of the overseas, proud of the cause for which 1t is f1ghting-the greatest cause which any army was ever called upon to champion. It would rather rot under the soil of France than to do anything which would cast discredit on the homes 1t left, which would impugn in any way the good name of the great people from whom it was recruited.
 Bear all this in mind, good people back in Gods country, if you hear any more stories about us made up out of the same whole cloth. If by any chance any of you should hesitate to believe us, write to our commanders, our chaplains, our doctors-anybody in authority. They will back us to the limit-and we, for our part, will guar. antee to come home to you clean in body, exalted in mind and heart, and with the record behind us of a mans size job manfully done.-Kansas City | Post.

REPORTS
 OF GLASS IN FOOD

Washington, April 8-Through the Committee on Public Information the announcement was authorized last night that only one genuine case of the presence of ground glass in food stuffs had been discovered by federal investigators, although they had 1n- vestigated more than 20 of the many reports. In the single case verified by the food administration, which is authority for the statement, glass was placed the one loaf of bread by a dis gruntled employe in bakery in Fort Smith, Ark.
 The official statement regarding the result of the various investigations reads as follows:
 "The frequent and widespread pub lication of statements concerning the presence of ground glass in foodstuffs has led the Committee on Public In- formation to inquire into the authen- ticity of these reports. It has been advised by the food administration that thorough investigations of more than 200 of the cases has disclosed only one instance in which ground glass was found in the foodstuffs in spected.
 "The case in which glass was found occurred at Fort Smith, Ark. A baker in that town had had trouble with his employees, one of whom, desiring to destroy his employers business, had filled with glass a loaf of bread which was to be delivered to an orphanage When the bread was served to the in mates of the institution several of them suffered decorations of their lips. No more serious injuries result ed. The case was given premature publicity, the baker being accused ot being a German agent with the result that he had to retire from business

 Sometimes there are serious condi- tions where a hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary - every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it a fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal.
 If complications exist, write to Lydia B. Pinkham Medicine O., Lynn, Mass, for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service.
