DO MOTHERS ERR?

When we hear of so many school girls
and girls in stores and Offices who are
often totally unfit to perform their
daily duties because of some derange-
ment peculiar to their sex, might this
not have been prevented by the mother
who, perhaps through neglect or care
lessness, failed to get for that daughter
the one great root and herb remedy for
such ailments, Lydia E. bingham S Veg
etable Compound? This oldfashioned
medicine is said to have alleviated more
suffering of womankind than any other
remedy known to medicine.-Adv.

Letter From Camp Dix.

We have received the following
letter from our friend, Captain NJ.
Clayton Thrush, of the United States
Army Medical Corps:
June %, 1918.
Dear Clayton:
Received your letter yesterday and
was certainly glad to hear from you.
Mrs. Thrush and children are all well
and all join in sending their love to
you and Mrs. Haines. / have re-
ceived the Spirit both at camp and the
family at home. Your kindness is
greatly appreciated. ! would be de-

feel that | have been very fortunate
in my appointments. Ever since /
arrived at this camp in October l have
been Regimental Surgeon of the 350th

bilities. have enjoyed the work
however, and the training has been of
great value. About two weeks ago
was transferred to the Regular Army
Engineers, (34,) which are the
Specialists Engineers" and am de-
lighted with my work here. The
officers are fine gentlemen of excellent
education in engineering work, and
the men are picked men of special
ability, and large number are Of
voluntary enlistment. You no doubt
realize that the standard for the En-
gineering and Aviation service and
likewise the Medical Department, are

icing that they are technical subjects

being that they are technical subjects
which require special qualifications.
We may go to France soon, as that
is the goal in the army. have been
reading the account of the various
men in the Esprit" with great inter
est. Now few words for the Spirit
since you request it:
"The value of army training to the
manhood of America" We hear so
much of the sadness and the dark side
of military life that a few words on
the brighter side. may be of value.
To the fathers and mothers who
have given their noble sons to our
country for the great cause of freedom
and liberty throughout the world, you
should remember that there is won
derful benefit to your son which you
may not have realized. First,-the
young man between Is and rs, the
army life perfects and moulds that
body exactly at the time it is most
required, so that in few months of
fresh outdoor life and good wholesome
food, regular hours, freedom from
vices and immoral influences, includ-
ing rum, he developes into strong,
vigorous man, with muscles of steel
and erect poise of body which will re-
main with him until old age. Those
of us who see these young men by the
thousands note the contrast after
few months in the army.
To the man between 25 and 45 which
represents the mature man before en-
tering the service. This life will
strengthen every tissue and fibre in
the body so that his life will be greatly
heightened after the war. This
change is particularly noted in the
man who has worked III doors, espec-
tally as clerk or at & t.oS.1. This life
transforms them FROM :; nm, delicate
enemic looking indiv4G-...i, with fiabby
muscles to strong, Tu-,.y and vigo-
rous man, full of pep" and vitality.
This will benefit the lsands of men all
over the land, so thh-,t one can always
find some good in cry evil thing, if
one only looks faI clough. The real
army life, it is USES to speak about,
as no doubt every mother has already
heard from her sons own letters or
lips, far more than | could possibly
tell her and in far more interesting
manner.
One thing in conclusion. The man
in the army receives the best of medi-
cal care and attention, and it is in
every way equal to what he receives
at home and often better, and / believe
this appeals in the majority of cases.
Finally: The greatest thing that
young man learns in the army is
what he first learned at his mothers
knee and which he now developes to
a state Of perfection, viz: Obedience,
which is the key note of success in any
army and which is termed in military
phraseology as Discipline. This makes
every man q bette + man, noDlef
father, truer husband and q better
citizen. It leads him nearer to God,
hence, makes him an honored christian
man. moulded and purified in the cru
chile Of instant and willing obedience
which after all but the symbol Of that
discipline.
Very sincerely yours,
