CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor:---
 have thought of writing number of times but knowing how busy you are hated to bother you, but want to thank you, however, for the help I received last spring for my fbranchitis. I got rid of the cough which was pretty hard. I had coughed till I had a pain in my side but that too went away after rubbing it with Grand mothers Ointment for about a week I still have some of the black oint- ment left that I rub with if my throat is the least bit sore and if I take cold.
 Have you anything that will restore gray hair to it's natural color without dyeing it? I am light complexioned, light brown hair but it IS turning gray in spots and I am five feet seven inches tall and weight is 110 pounds. drink a pint of hot water before breakfast and take a tablespoonful of fiaXseed which seems to keep my stomach and bowels in pretty good condition; I also eat a few apples be- tween meals.
 I am in hopes that we will not get the Flu" My husband came home quite sick one evening after the cpl demic started where he works. He had chills and sore throat and felt so weak he was just all in. I did not have a doctor so do not know if it was influenza Or not or just the grippe, but I broke it up with hot vinegar stew, first hot foot bath and some hot ginger tea, then I sponged him with the hot vinegar stew and rubbed with warm olive oil Then he went to bed and perspired freely all night; in the morning he felt better so put on warm dry clothes and went to work and has felt no more of it. MRS. J. M. (Answer) Your letter is carefully read, and I am glad that you have written me so fully in regard to your- self, etc. There is simple prepara- ton that will restore gray hair to its
 natural color, but unfortunately neither this nor any other remedy that I know of will cause the hair tc
 remain it's natural color unless you
 apply 1t occasionally. A very little applied pnce in two weeks will keeI
 the hair at its natural color. It does not dye the hair but restores it's owr
 color. As the hair grows out from
 the scalp, however, there will be gray hair again as it is gray at. the roots That is the reason why it is neces.
 sary to apply it again. It does not
 stain the scalp.
 You are following very good GUS. tom in using the hot water in the
 morning and the haxseed at night
 also eating raw apples between meals . Of course, you understand that the
 exercises for overcoming catarrI should be persisted in regularly ant daily

THE SURGEON OF CIVILIZATION

The engineering renown of the military heroes of the Great War rests on their genius for destruction. They smashed the foe, unloosing Force in all it's primordial nakedness and savagery. Industrial engineers didn't wait for world chaos to "elim- inate non-essentials," their desks have always been quiet battlegrounds for quiet processes of the mind. Long time they trod the ways of peace where was no martial music, seek ing no bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth," as again they shall go back into throbbing factories into noisy shipyards - into sooty mills, to grapple, as part of their days work" with the gigantic job of worlds recuperation.

MINERS GET
 HIGHER WAGES THAN
 UNION SCALE IN CHICAGO

Never before in the history of the anthracite region have wages been as high as now. They compare fla vorably with all lines of trades in the country as can be seen from comparison of wages compiled lby the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. Department of Labor. The present mine wage scale went into effect Nov. 1. Not only is the pay greater than ever for the work per formed, but there Is assurance of full time for every mineworker and every prospect that this condition will prevail inGaBnitely This is not so with many of the trades that have been hoomed by reason of war in dustries which are now curtailed.
 At the present scale of wages in the anthracite region, according to figures before the Fuel Administra- tion, a contract miner Is earning $6.63 daily or $39.7S a week. Fol lowing is a list of other workers per daily and weekly wage taking the average range.

 Considering Chicago as a metro politan city, the U. s. Labor statistics as to full time wages per week for May 15, 1918, show the following ] trades get the following union scale: | Bricklayers, cement fintshers, ele- vator constructors, marble settlers, | painters, stonemasons, tile layers, | granite cutters and iron molders s33 weekly. Asbestos workers, carpen- ters, sheet metal workers, structural | iron workers and f1nishers each $31.2O weekly. Slate and tile roof CTS, S31.9O weekly. All round ma cn1nists, S31.2O weekly. Metal pol ishers, $26.SS weekly. Building la borers, cement laborers, elevator helpers, hod> carriers, $22 weekly | Machinery helpers, $18.24 weekly. When 1t Is considered that living costs are considerably higher in met ropolitan cities, the mine workers living in communities of smaller populations have more leeway for the worth of dollar as its purchas- ing powers go further.

CIUR NOTES.

Dear Doctor-We wish to thank you very much for the kind advice and the great blessing that the herb syrup gave to us. We were made the proud parents of a fine baby boy the 9th of April. I was so miserable I could not do my housework, and suf- fered so with pains in my head, back and hips, but just as soon as started to take the herb syrup all pains left me and felt like a new woman
 When baby was born I never had pain. It was the easiest childbirth ever had or have ever seen. It was wonderful to me.
 (Answer)-Your very kind letter is received and read with a great deal of pleasure. [ am very glad to hear of your fine little babysboy and trust that he may grow up into strong and rugged manhood, carrying with him a knowledge of the Home Health Club methods of living.
 How old are you?---A few years ago there was a popular actress here in Chicago who told the people that "A woman is as old as she looks, and a man is as old as he feels" If we had no other method of reading the ages of human beings, I am inclined to think that many people would live longer and suffer less than they nov do. Did you ever notice how quickly people go down and die after they re- l tire?
 | A strong healthy farmer has been successful and has accumulated enough to enable him to rent the farm and move to- town where he thinks he is going to enjoy many years oi comfort and ease. Each year he | Jtock his cellar well and his table 4E spread with an abundance of good

AMERICANS ARE
 ID STRIKE THE
 KNOCKOUT BLOW
Strategical Situation on West ern Front Logically Gives to Them That Task-FOrces Are Increasing Rapidly.

London, Sept. 3.-The strategical situation on the western front leaves to the Americans the duty of striking a hopping up blow against the vast German hordes that are being pressed back by the other allies, in the opinion of some of the British military ex- perts.
 Much is expected of the American forces, which are increasing with sur nrising rapidity. The British critics today expressed the belef that the Germans would not be able to hold the Sensee and Nord canals. and with the Germans losing more of the Hinden- burg line every day the experts fail to see where the Germans can make a strong stand after their recent severe defeats and lack of reserves.

Mer selected for this service will receive a course of training at government expense fitting them for service in army positions, both at the front and behind the lines. It will be instruc- tion that will be of great value in working themselves forward in mili- tary or civilian life.

 Patrols entered Biache St. Vaast which soon was reported entirely cap tured. From this general locality on the north the British pushed sharply forward.
 The first indication that the Ger mans admitted defeat was when the British troops entered Recount. They had been in the town only a fey minutes when the enemy artillery be- gan shelling it heavily from dis tance
 The British drove down the Arras- Cambrai road with ease today. One force, according to word received at headquarters, captured Inch-en-Ar- tois; another occupied and cleaned ur the entire Buissy switch.

With the American Army in France Sept. 3.-Just beyond Juvigny during their advance the Americans cap tured a German dressing station and several wounded Germans and res cued two Americans The rescued Americans had had little food for two days and virtually no attention. The Americans did not complain, however, as the German wounded were not given much attention either. This was due to the confusion of the re- treat and the great numbers of wound ed Germans who poured into the sta ton as the Americans advanced.
 In this dressing station were found quantities of French lace curtains which had been cut into strips for bandages and crepe paper. used for the same purpose French officers who examined the lace. said that it was unquestionably of French make. The Germans evidently had been obliged to use bandages of this kind because of the shortage of material in Germany.

external application that spreads its influence
upon the cords, tendons and muscles of the
abdomen, rendering them plant, and they
expand gracefully without that peculiar
wrenching strain.
The occasion is, therefore, one of un-
bounded joyful anticipation and too much
stress cannot be laid upon the remarkable
Influence which mothers happy prenatal
disposition has upon the health and fortunes
OF the generations to come.
