Almost a Shadow, Afraid
to Eat

"My son-in-law was SO bad from
stomach trouble that he was reduced
to almost shadow and was afraid
to eat anything, as all food caused
bloating of gas which pressed
against his heart, worrying him very
much. Our druggist persuaded him
to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy,
and in two months he looked fine,
can eat anything and works hard
every day" 1t is a simple, harm
less preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucus from the intestinal
tract and allays the Inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ-
ing appendicitis. One dose will con-
vince or money refunded. c. e.

ficant to Bear Value in Relation
to Business.

San Francisco.-The war is intro
ducing the humble penny into Califor
MIA. For the first time in the history
of the state it will be used IL com.
merce. Heretofore this fraction of
currency has been regarded as too in
significant to bear any value In its re-
lation to business.
/ The value Of the copper cent is one
of the lessons in thrift which Mrs. A.
S. Baldwin Of San Francisco will take
back to the women Of California. Mrs.
Baldwin Is one of the most prominent
clubWOmen Of San Francisco and she
was recently called to Washington by
the secretary Of the treasury to serve
on the woman's liberty loan committee.
and to carry the lessons of the Liberty
loan and of the war savings certif1-
Gates to the women in the far West.
"Out in California we are SO far
away from the center Of things that
many Of the remote communities know
the thrift campaign Of the Liberty loan
only as name. The duty Of our wom-
en-, as I see 1t, Is not only to conserve
in large way, but to save the small
amounts which the people Of the West
are apt to overlook.
"We are only beginning to use cop
pers in San Francisco" said Mrs. Bald
win, "and they are still only used in
few of the shops. In California the
copper cent has been regarded hereto
fore as too inconsiderable trif1e to be
given any consideration. The war and
it's emergency measures, such as the
war savings certificates and the thrift
stamps will change the Californian's
attitude toward the modest penny.

"TOMMY" fine FIGHTER
Americans Admire the Spirit Of
British Army.
Entirely New Feeling Growing Up b.
tween Two Kindred Nations
In Arms.

LOndOn.-The military correspond
ent of the London Times, writing from
France, says:
"In France we have suddenly dfscOv-
cred America, and America has dfscOv-
cred us. How different we both are
from our preconceived notions Of each
Other We did not know what high
~ educated, professional and modest
gentleman the American regular officer
was, nor did we quite realize what a
splendid body Of active fighting men
he was going to bring over with him.
1--WE are a great deal more enthu-
siastic about the Americans, and. II
may say so, more proud Of them, than
we show on the surface. How can we
not regard as men Of our own flesh and
blood the relays of American soldiers
Of all grades who come to us, who
speak our own language and bear our
own names, who understand us In q
flash Of time. and whose point OF view
on almost every conceivable subject
under heaven Is our own?
''These sentiments are, hope, mu-
tual. The Americans did not know
what our armies were, nor what they
had done or are doing. Many Of them
know now. They witnesses under fire
our grand attacks and our raids. They
observe with establishment the terrific
power of our modern. artillery and the
glorious activities Of our splendid air
men.
"They see the spirit, the discipline and
the emulation of our infantry, and
they are profoundly impressed by
them. I hope that the pride which we
feel, without venturing to express 1T,
in the Americans is little reciprocal
ed by them. I can only say that every
American soldier who has told me OF
his experiences on the British front
has spoken with enthusiastic admira-
ton Of our men, and that an entirely
new feeling, the consequences of which
may be immense, is growing up be-
tween the two kindred nations IN
arms"
