PARENTS, READ THIS
How a Father Has Learned
to Save Shoe Bills.

my son is very hard on shoes, so
keeping him properly shod has been
quite an expense to me- writes Mr..
J. Allison Allen. Of Amity. Arkansas.
But since I started to buy Neolin-
soled shoes for him I have found that
it costs only about q third as much to
keep him in shoes"
This is because Neolin soles are so
tough and durable that they wear a
very long time. Shoe bills are kept
down because o don't need SO many
pairs.
You can get Noelin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles n for all members
of the family. Neolin Soles are also
available everywhere for re-soling.
They are produced by a scientific pro-
cess to be what soles ought to be-;
comfortable, waterproof and long
wearing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
Akron, Ohio. who Also make Wing
foot Heels. guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.

The readers of this paper win be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces Of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
S+itution and assisting nature in doing its
work The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Halls
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

A person has health and strength
in just the PROPORTION that the vital
organs jerform their functions jro-
perly. There is something radically
wrong when one feels tired and dis
couraged, unfit and unwilling for
their daily work. Humanity was new
er intended to suffer with headaches,
coated tongue, pain in the back or
stomach, hollow eyes, pimple skin,
yellow complexion, weak nerves and
the many symptoms attending the
haIf-sick conditions which attack so
many people. They are not sick en-
ough to go to bed and not really well
enought to be at work, So they go on
trying to keep their place in a busy
work-a-day world where people in half
health stand but little show. All the
time some chronic disease is making
deeper and deeper inroads, until in
some cases they are past curing, then
they wake up when it is forever too
late.

SATURDAY. night.

Saturday night.
Dear people:-It has been such busy
week I didn't get letter off sooner
and tomorrow will be such busy day I
know I won't find time to write so as
sit with my Titan locks draped over
the radiator I'll pen you few lines.
My work is becoming so fascinating
that I went back and worked until four
thirty this afternoon and you know
were off at noon on Saturday but I
Just couldn't resist the temptation to
go back. 1t was such a lovely sun
shiny day that it seemed so much hard
er for the boys to have to stay in bed
when others were out and around They
appreciate my coming too. They gave
me fruit and flowers and the head
nurse invited me down to have break
fast in the ward tomorrow They re
going to have Salvation Army dough-
nuts which are the best ever, and
cocoa. I've been in this ward month
now and I'm beginning to get awfully
attached to it. I'm finding out such
interesting things. You can't imagine
how brave and fine these boys are. I
have one big husky lad who was an
athlete az Drake University whe was
In tank corp and he told me this
morning that he was tho only survivor
in his battalion he guessed he
was the acting Major He has terrible
wounds in his legs. They are so deep
and the nerves are exposed so of course
it hurts terribly when they dress them
SO he has me stand where he can see
me. His face looks terrible then and
he just grips the mattress but he does
n t make sound and then when it s
all over he tells me about how it was.
He is very nervous and is doing little
work for me but not much yet. I'm
glad If just having some one to look at
helps him. Then l have another pa
tient who was very weak and i'll after
an operation last Saturday so I've done
lot of little extra things for him and
| he is so appreciative He thanks me
every day and told me that my kind
ness would never be forgotten The
head nurse in the ward next sent for
me to come in and do something for a
shell shock patient a few days ago. So
l went in and gave him some weaving
to do. Then in the afternoon he dis
turbed the others so they moved him
into room by himself and l worked
with him for over an hour. It's toe
bad. He was coal miner and is a big
husky fellow but his mind is all shat
tered. At first he talked necessarily
and loudly but now he is melan-
choly and cries a great deal. To-
morrow afternoon I'm going to sing in
the wards so l expect to be good anC
tired. It's busy life but it's wonder
full. One of my boys told me that they
begin to watch the door for me when il
gets to be nine in the morning. I'm
glad they liked it all.
Must write some other letters.
Love to you ALL
| Helen.
