WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak a little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. mot SO young

upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with ell
derby people. If you only know how, this
trouble can be obviated.

BATTLE HAFTTO
AMERICAN MEN

Washington.-The first three Amer
lean soldiers to die in battle on French
soil fell in the village of Bethelmont.
about twelve miles east of Nancy. The
population of this region decided to
erect a monument concentrating
their sacrifice, and a replica of this
proposed monument was sent to Pres
ident Wilson by Ambassador Sharp
at Paris a few months ago at the re-
quest of those in charge of the prof.
ect. Originally it vas the intention
to hold the ceremony of dedication in
the very village of Bethelmont, where
the three young heroes had given their
lives for freedom, but the community
was situated so lear the firing line
that the ceremony had to be held at
Nancy. Ambassador Sharp has sent
to the state department a graphic re-
port on the subject. A large crowd
of distinguished people were present
at the dedication exercises.
NJ. Mirman, in his address before a
huge assembly at Nancy, emphasized
the fact that the three young heroes
in whose honor the monument had
been erected were not, indeed, the
first Americans whose blood had
tinged the battlefelds of France.
Young men from the United States,
impatient to fight, had enrolled volun-
tarily in the French and English ar
mics and already in 1916 their num-
Der exceeded 10000.
Carried American Flag.
A very touching incident illustrates
the patriotism of those Americans who
had joined the French Foreign Legion
before the United States entered the
war. Not being able to fight openly
under the Star-Spangled Banner they
procured an American flag and decided
that each of them, in turn, should car
ry it wrapped around his breast. In
this way u flag was present in all
those numerous combats in which the

lets and stained with the blood of
wounds. Once he who carried it fell,
the American volunteers searched the
field and found their dead comrade,
took from his body the w~ell-beloved
colors, and, armed with this emblem,
they went forward to new exploits.
When the United States took I'D the in
sulting defiance of Germany these
American volunteers, already yeter-
ans, took their places in their Nation
al army and presented to France this
flag which so proudly they had borne
through numerous battles, and the
French %reverently deposited it at the
I%nvalides.
A few days after the first Ameri-
cans entered the trenches the Germans
desired to test the worth of their new
enemy. They directed an attack
against the sector. Valiantly did the
American soldiers support their bap-
tismal fire.

es withdrew, leaving numerous dead.
Three Americans were killed in the
French lines. one pierced by a revolver
shot, the other two stabbed with pom
iards. They were inferred in a field
below the hill on which are clustered
the houses of the village of Bethel
mont. 1t was decided that the names
of these three first victims should be
inscribed on stone, and although the
project could not be given dimensions
IN keeping with the Importance of the
historic fact to be commemorated, the
design is artistic and was drawn by
Louis Majorelle. The cross and the
thistle of Lorraine are entwined with
the stars of America. The Inscription
on one side reads:
LORRAINE TO THE UNITED
STATES"
That on the other side:
Here
in Lorraine territory
repose
the three first
American soldiers
killed by the enemy
on November Sd, 1917.

Behind the Lines in France.-This
land of recent battles is a queer land
now. Over the shell-torn villages and
blasted woods, the pitted fields and
ruin of all that once was is a strange
quiet. The winter sky is lacking in
airplanes and great 1ocks of crows
have taken their place.
A few villagers have crept back to
see what remains of their homes and
holdings, but probably the winter will
have passed before reclamation and
reconstruction are undertaken on a
large scale.
Along the roads repaired and re-
hridged for the allies advance into
German territory long canton trains
move slowly and always southwark.
They travel leisurely now, for the need
of hurry is gone. They bring back
the salvage of battlefields, all the
things that go to make war, abandoned
or captured.
Endless Trophies Of War.
Truck load after truck load Of rifles
aud shells, of water bottles and haver-
sacks, cartridges, machine guns, bayo-
nets and trench knives and pistols,
mess kits, overcoats, caps, an endless
catalogue of paraphernalia are brought
in. The battle zone is still full of 1t
all, in heaps and racks, waiting sal

every nation, engine and fuselage and
running gear on the truck and the
great wings on its specially designed
trailer. Some of them are unframed,
but many show bullet holes through
the frail fabric or the ruins of a crash.
A fair proportion of them bear the
Maltese cross that marks them boche.
There are trains of captured enemy
artillery, particularly Of motor bat
teries, driven and manned by French
men, and these are happy outfits.
Often the guns are decorated with
evergreens and always the French sol
diers laugh and wave a greeting. AS
they creep through the villages the

American. The clearness of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur

is released with mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has futber advantages
in that 1t is cheaper, simpler and more
durable than those now in use If the
claims for this invention prove well
founded. II is thought that 1t will mark
a distinct step in advance of what has

To make the children's party al
Christmas time brilliant success is
not at all difficult. All they need is
room to play in, games and pastimes

program OF the Christmas party means
a great deal to them, but they are cas-
lily pleased.
The old fashioned games, blind

for the youngsters, but they will not

are wrapped In paper and tied up, a
sufficient number to provide some
thing for every child. Before the par
ty these are piled up In some conyen-
lent corner and curtain of some kind
hung across the corner to hide them.
Fishing poles with lines having a
crooked pin at the end are made ready
and each child casts his line over the
top of the curtain. Someone in charge
OF this part Of the entertainment
