London, Nov. s.-Graves of Ameri- can soldiers and sailors in England are being cared for by the British government. Lawns about them are regularly moved, flowers growing on them are tended and the white wood en crosses bearing each mans iden- uity disk are kept in good condition.

WOMEN WORKERS ID REMAIN ON
 JOB IN ENGLAND

London, Nov. S-(By The Asso- ciated Press) ).-EngIand' girl farm laborers, who enlisted in the Gov ernment's Land Army during the war to take the place Of men who had gone to the front, have come to stay =-picturesque s1ouch hats, corduroys. leggings, white smocks and all. Gov ernment control of the Land Army will be withdrawn after the potato harvest, about November 30, but the new open air woman has learned to love her work so much that she declines to be "demobilized.''
 The farmers who have employed efficient girls are so anxious to retain them that a voluntary organization IS certain to be set up, it is said, to keep the Army together. There are bout 5000 girls in the Army and most of them want to remain on the land. The ultimate aim of many is farm of their own.
 Everywhere the girls have won friends, not only because of their good work, but by their splendid bear ing in emergencies. Several in- stances of devotion and bravery have recently been rewarded with the Distinguished Service Bar, which Is tc the Land Army what the coveted Vic toria Cross is to the Regulars. Amone the deeds cited were the successful treatment of an animal that had a 1 contagious disease, the extingutshins of a fire in a, barn, the saving of all old laborer from death by burning and the nursing of a farmers chilt which was suffering from an infec. tious illness.

LOSE ON MONEY WHEN SHIPPED
 FROM ENGLAND

London, Nov. 8 (By the AssOciat- ed Press. )-By increasing the cost of money orders payable in t1e United Statse from eight cents to seventy two cents for every pound, the post" al authorities have blocked an ave- nue whereby Americans were able to send money home without mourning any loss incident to the low rate of British exchange on America.
 Throughout the period or depre- citation of English money in the Unit ed States, the international postal rate of exchange has remained con- stant at 4.S7. So by resOrting to money orders instead of bank drafts, which were governed by the daily rate of exchange, and often 50 or more points below the postal rate. those who wished to transfer money from this country to the other side were enabled to do so at the nomi- nal expense of less than 10 cents for every $5.
 There was limit, however, to the amount that could be sent in this way. the authorities during the war restricting it 10 100 pounds a wcck for each individual
 One American business man in London avoided serious loss by us- ing this means of transferring his co pitaI to his home city in Ohio. Of course, many weeks were required to effect this particular transfer, as the amount involved was several thous- and pounds, but he got it all through just before the price of money or ders was so radically boosted.
 So far the American postal au- thorities have not altered the cost of money orders payable in this coun- try. An American banker here point ed out to the correspondent that the situation created by the action of the British postal authorities places the American public at a disadvan- tage, especially those persons living in country districts where banking facilities are limited and who must rely on the postal money-order ser vice.

DISTRIBUTE GOAL ACCORDING TO
 PRIORITY LIST

New Haven, Nov. S-The machin- cry set up by the Railroad Admins
 tration to distribute the coal held in transit by the railroads in accordance with the directions of the Fuel Ad- ministrator is in full operation and as a result wherever possible coal is being distributed in accordance With the priority list established by the Fuel Administrator where such coas is absolutely needed. Therefore, where there is a real need for coal, the problem should be taken up inn media tely with the railroad ordinarily supplying tIoe coal and every effort win be n1ada by such railroad to meet the demand.
 It is, of course, essential both be- cause of the present bituminous coal
 strike and in order that the needs for the coming winter may be looked after that fuel be used as economical fly as~possible. It should be remem-
 bered that the railroads did not in terfere with the delivery of coal to designated consignees until the day before the present strike began. In order to conserve coal as much as possible Regional Directors of Rail- roads have been given authority wherever it seems absolutely neces- 1 sary-to eliminate for the time being 1 train service but in order to provide l for the essential business needs of tho country no general curtailment oi ! train service is contemplated. The 1 main tenance of the public transpor- i tation service is of paramount i'm portance in order to serve the count
 less needs of general public and the | interruption of that service will bs
 minirnized as far as possible.

Strength After Other Remedies
and Doctors Failed
Mrs. Mary Walden, of Sanford,
Fla, tells in letter how Planters
Benedicta brought back her health
and strength after doctors and vari-
Gus remedies failed to help her.
Mrs. Walden states that she had
suffered for years from irregularities
and pains. After telling of her long
search for something that would
bring relief, Mrs. Walden says: 81
finally got hold of bottle of Bene-
dicta, and it did me more good than
all the dotcors' medicines have ever
taken"
Planters Benedicta is made from a
formula originated by a DR.. Richards
Of Virginia, specialist who was
famed for his sue SIS in treating
women's special troubles.
Planters Benedicta is purely a
vegetable medicine; is a wonderful
tonic, builds up the nervous system
and is the most helpful specific for
the feminine organization.
It contains nothing that is habit
forming, and there is positively moth
ing in it that is injurious or harmful
in any way.
| If you suffer from Irregularities,
change of life, pains in your side; if
you are pale, nervous, haggard, de-
, spondent, subject to the "blues," and
simply force yourself along from

don't let anything or anybody pre-
vent you from giving Planters Bene-
dicta a trial.
