 YOUNG WOMAN
She Had Brights Disease-Doc tors Treatment Did Nc
 Good, She Said.

It would surprise you to hear of the wonderful results accomplished by the Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy. After suffering for years with Brights disease, many persons have been com pletely restored to health. One notable case is that of Mrs. P. B. Nelson, of Lake Charles, La. Her story told un- der oath, is that she began aling in 1913, pot worse and after suffering for six months called upon a doctor who said she had a severe case of Brights disease. He treated her three months without avail. Then he rec commended Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy, preparation that hod in many instances to his knowledge giv- en marked relief. Continuing, she declares that "by the use of Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy she is now without pain whatever and has completely regained and is now en- toying the very best of health, thanks to Hobo." If ycu are afflicted with anv form of kidney or bladder trouble, write to the Hobo Medicine Manufac- utrino Co.,, Singer, La., for co~v of the Hobo booklet.

 Transport used for n9n-essential distribution is to be prevented as far as possible. Coal, food, and raw ma teflala for munitions, must all be ob tadned from the nearest source.

Scores of towns already have their own schemes in operation. Lancaster and other cities are forming companies of traders to pool their vehicles.
 Street railways will be used larg7- ly for the transportation and delivery of food. Some towns will institute street car delivery of parcels. Milk will be delivered only once daily in stead of twice. while bakers, butchers and ether tradesmen will have only three deliveries a week instead of six,

SENATOR SHIELDS

a letter from Senator Shields, adj
dressed to a GAINESVILLE citizen and
bearing date of March 9Th, was print
| sd in the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle
of March 9th, accompanied by an APP
preciative editorial article in that pa
per. That was more than three
months ago, and there have been some
changes and developments since then
that might have in some respects at
tered the senatorial situation, but the
letter and the editorial comment fit
the conditions as well now as they
did then. That is in itself a signifi-
cant fact. Senator Shields attitude
has not been in any way affected by
either the withdrawal Or announce
ment of opponents, OF by anything
that has. been said or done incident 10
his candidacy for reelection. The
editorial article from the Leaf-ChrOn-
lcle is reproduced on this page.
A fact worth nothing is that this
letter from Senator Shields to a per-
sonal friend, written some time prior
to President wilson's recent address
to Congress urging a protracted SEES
sion for necessary war work, seemed
TO anticipate the conditions the Pres
ident described. The Senator said
that public duties would likely keep
him in Washington for some months
and that he would be compelled to
trust the primary campaign largely
to his friends.
The Leaf-C Chronicle editorial reads
as if it might have been written to-
day The logic of the situation is en-
tirely unchanged.
The article concludes with the as
sertion that the people wish to do
right; that they will do right, and that
Senator Shields can depend upon them
to be loyal to him as he has been 10y
al to them. That sentiment is quite
general with the press of the state
and with the democratic masses. The
very strong prospect is that it will be
overwhelmingly sustained in the re-
suit of the August primary.

REHABILITATION OF
OUR WOUNDED

Perhaps none of the various uses
TO which the proceeds of the Liberty
Loan are to be devoted appeals more
strongly to the American people than
the rehabilitation and reeducation OF
our wounded men. To teach these
men, to train and fit them for useful
and gainful occupations, when by
reason of loss of sight or limbs OF
other injuries they are rendered I'M
able to pursue ordinary vocations, is
work in which every American has
a heartfelt interest.
Compensation will be allowed them
and family allowances will .be paid
their families as if they were in actual
service while they are taking the
training, and every method known to
Silence will be used to restore our
wounded men to health and usefulness
This work has been delegated by
Congress to the Federal Board for
Vocational Education. The Board
publishes at Washington a monthly
bulletin, dealing with it's work, called
The Vocational Summary, which will
be sent free to anyone upon request.

THE SOLDIERS CHANCES

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the indi
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed
or at least not bodilp injured.
Based on the mortality statistics Of
the allied armies, soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-Five chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them
One chance in 500 of losing limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from dis
ease in the Army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to / from bullets;
in this war l man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the Govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

Large numbers Of the young people
became very much interested in the

garding the zeal with which the young

The Missionary Centenary of Mis-
sions received a large share of at
tention, The young people became
enthusiastic when the great plan of
stewardship, tithing and prayer circles
were mentioned. Concerning the $685.
