ALL WRONG
The Mistake Is Made by Many
 Newark Citizens

Look for the cause of back ache.
 To be cured you must know the cause.
 If it's weak kidneys
 You must set the kidneys working right.
 A resident of this vicinity shows you how.
 Charles w. Moore, Walnut Ridge, Ark, says: "I have used different kidney medicines, but have found Doan's Kidney Pills far superior to all others. At one time my kidneys were weak and Doan's strengthened them and now they are in good condition. Another of the fam fly has also taken Doan's Kid aey Pills and has been relieved long standing case of kid ney trouble"

USE CAR OF DYNAMITE

The manager of the Arkan- sas Lime Company at Ruddells is making preparations for the largest blast ever discharged in this section of the state. He expects to break down enough stone from the face of the quarry with one round of shots to furnish the three gigantic lime kilns for the next three years.
 The holes will be drilled with we'll drill 50 feet deep, 40 feet back from the face of the quarry, spotted every 20 feet for 200 feet, the full width of the face. It is expected that at least a carload of dynamite will be used, which will make the round of shots cost about $4,000, exclusive of the drill ing.

saw hard fighting in the Yer dun, Mihiel and other drives.
 Every man who can be spar ed is being discharged. Even the base hospital force is being reduced to the minimum. The ambulance company and Sani- tary corps have been cut down so that the ambulance company mess was abandoned. There are more men in camp, however, than week ago, due to arri- valS from other cantonments and from overseas.
 With the Government oper- ating a rehabilitation and vo- cational school at the base hos pital for wounded men and the Y. M. CA. conducting a school for enlisted men at the hospi- tai "Y" and other buildings, no soldier will need to be other than independent. The Govern ment also has arranged to pro- vide for technical training of men who show proper progress and aptitude, even after leav- ing the army. This work is in charge of the federal board for vocational education, and the student will be paid while he is being trained. To aid soldiers in selecting the vocation fer which they are best adapted, J. A. Puffer, former superin- tendent of the Massachusetts Industrial School, was sent here to deliver a series of lec- lures. Mr. Puffer's work is to show the individual how to go about finding his proper place, and why he should stick to it once he has found it. Men who feel they have not been engag- ed in suitable lines of work, are questioned and then effort is made 10 put them in touch with the employers in callings for which they seem adapted. MT. Puffer was sent here by the Army Y. M. c. A. in the effort to aid the soldiers to find their places and to in- crease their earning power

Weekly He aIth Talks What Doctor Pierce Has
 Done For Humanity!
BY DOCTOR CRIPPs.

It has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed near the top when list of America's great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered human dis eases to degree that few realize. Whenever he found a remedy that over came disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at small price. He did not follow the usual custom of keeping the ingredients secret, SO that the rich only could afford to buy the medicine, but openly printed the name of each root and herb he used. And 80 to-day the names of Dr. Pierce and bis medicines are widely known, and they stand for better health and better citizenship.
 One of this great physicians most successful remedies is known as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar-coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap- things that Nature grows in the ground. These Pellets are safe because they move the bowels gently, leaving no bad after effects, as so many pills do, Very often they make 8 person who takes them feel like a new man CT woman, for they cleanse the intestines of hard, decayed and poisonous matter that accumuiates when one ia costive If you are constipated, by all means go to your druggist and get some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They nay prove to be the very thing your system requires to make you well and happy.

Camp Pike, Feb. 11.-Hun- dreds of Arkansas men who served overseas arrived here the past week are being dis charged. They saw service in different parts of France, and many among them were wound ed. Men from several organiza- tions are includd in a casual company made up at Hoboken, and which came here from Camp Merritt. There were 293 of the 331st infantry arriving from Camps Mills and Merritt, respectively. They served over seas with the 83rd division.
 Lieutenant Harry l.. Nims of Cushing, Okla, who shot him self thru the head ten days ago continues to improve. The bull let entered the forehead and emerged at the back of his head, and about an ounce of brain oozed out of the wounds. His case is considered remark able by the surgeons.
 The 334th Field Artillery and the 336th Machine Gun Battalion, which trained at Camp Pike as part of the 87th division, have been designated for early convoy home, accord ing to news from Washington.
 The "stoekade" has been abolished, and the few cases of veneral disease have been transferred to the base hospi- tai area. Two tent units opera ted in the "stockade" by the Y. M. C. A. have been closed, and the Secretaries transferr- ed to buildings where forces were short.

CHAPTER XVI.

Breakfast was brought to him in his
room as usual; but he did not make
his normal healthy raid upon the
dainty tray: the food remained I'M
touched, and he sustained himself
upon coffee-four cups Of it, which
left nothing Of value inside the glis-
tening little percolator. During this
process he heard his mother being
summoned to the telephone in the hall,
not far from his door, and then her
voice responding: Eyes? oh, it's you
.. Indeed / should! Of
course . Then I'll expect you
about three. . Yes. . . .
Goodby till then" A few minutes
later he heard her speaking to some
one beneath his window, and, looking
out, saw her directing the removal Of
plants from a small garden bed to
the Majors conservatory for the win
ter. She laughed gayly with the Ma
jor's gardener over something he said,
and this unconcerned cheerfulness of
her was terrible to her SON.
He went to his desk, and, searching
the jumbled contents of a drawer,
brought forth a large, unframed pho
tograph Of his father, upon which he
gazed long and piteously. till at last
hot tears stood In his eyes. "Poor,
poor father!" the son whispered bro
kenly. "Poor man, Pm glad you didn't

He wrapped the picture in a sheet
of newspaper, put 1t under his arm,
and, leaving the house hurriedly and
steadily, went downtown to the shop
of a silversmith, where he spent sixty
dollars on a resplendently ~festooned
silver frame for the picture. Having
lunched upon more coffee, he returned
to the house at two o'clock, carrying
the framed photograph with him, and
placed it upon the center table In the
library, the room most used by Isabel
and Fanny and himself. Then he went
to a front window Of the long "recep
ton roo" and sat looking Out
through the lace cuptains.

but his vigil did not last nm hour. Al

The library doors were heard open
ing, and a moment later there came
the sound of the front door closing.
George moved toward the head of
the stairs, then stood listening, but
the house was silent.
Fanny made a slight noise with her
lips to attract his attention, and, when
he glanced toward her, shook her head

at him urgently. "Let her alone" she
whispered. "She's down there by her
self. Don't go down. Let her alone"
She moved a few steps toward him
and halted, her face pallid and awe
struck, and then both stood listening
for anything that might break the ST.
lence downstairs. No sound came to
them; that poignant silence was con-
tinued throughout long, long minutes,
while the two listeners stood there I'M

George looked about him bleakly, then
on tiptoe crossed the hall and went
into his own room, which was filled
with twilight. Still tiptoeing, though
he could not have said why, he went
across the room and sat down heavily
in a chair facing the window. Out
side there was nothing but the dark
| ening air and the wall Of the nearest
of the new houses. He had not slepf
at all the night before and he had eat
en- nothing since the preceding day al
lunch, but he felt neither drowsiness
nor hunger. His set determination
filed him, kept him but too wide
awake, and his gaze at the graynesa
beyond the window was wide-eyed and
bitter.

houses and let himself noiselessly in
the front door. The light in the hall
had been left burning, aad another in
his own room, as he discovered when
he got there. He locked the door
quickly and without noise, but his fin

there was a quick football in the hall

room before replying.
"Yes?"

There was a pause; then she said

said without expression.
Another silence followed before she
spoke again.

little furry Of placative laughter she
added: "At your age of counsel"
"Tm going to bed now" he said.

too.

impulses, and wholly useless in a
struggle which required honor to be

of all personality and seemingly part
of the mechanism.
Eugene himself, as he came up the
cement path to the house, was a fig
ure of the new era which was in time
to be so disastrous to stiff hats and
skirted coats; and his appearance af-
forded a debonair contrast to that of
the queer-looking duck capering at the
Anderson ball in an old dress coat,
and next day chugging up National
avenue through the snow in his night
mare of a sewing machine. Eugene
this afternoon was richly clad in new
outdoor mode: his motoring coat was
soft gray fur; his cap and gloves were
of gray suede, and though Lucy's hand
may have shown itself in the selection
of these high garnitures, he wore them
easily, even with a becoming hint of
jauntiness. Some change might be
seen in his face, too, for a successful
man is seldom to be mistaken, espe-
cially If his temper be genial. Eugene
had begun to look like a millionaire.
But, above everything else, what was
most evident about him, as he came
up the path, was his confidence in the
happiness promised by his present
errand; the anticipation in his eyes
could have been read by a stranger.
His look at the door of Isabel's house
was the look of a man who Is quite
certain that the next moment will re-
veal something ineffably charming, in
expressibly dear.
When the bell rang George
waited at the entrance of the "recep-
ton room" until a housemaid came
through the hall on her way to answer
the summons.
"You needn't mind, Mary" he told
her. "Tll see who it is and what they
want. Probably it's only a peddler."
THANK you, sir, Mister George"
said Mary, and returned to the rear of
the house.
George went slowly to the front door
and halted, regarding the misty silhou-
cite Of the caller upon the ornamental
frosted glass. After a minute of
waiting this silhouette changed outline
so that an arm could be distinguished
an arm outstretched toward the bell,
as if the gentleman outside doubted
whether or not it had sounded and
were minded to try again. But before
the gesture was completed George alb
ruptly threw open the door and
stepped squarely upon the middle of
the threshold.
A slight change Swallowed the face
of Eugene; his look of happy anticipa-
ton gave way to something formal
and polite. slow do you do, George?'
