terribly and l had shooting pains
through my loins and hips. / was
also bothered with lameness in other
parts of my body and felt weak and
tired all the time. / had headaches
and dizzy spells and often felt as
though I were going to faint / knew
my kidneys were not in good condi-
ton because they acted irregularly
and / had inflammation of the blad-
der After suffering that way for
about six years and trying different
remedies without any help I became
discouraged A friend then got me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon
relieved me- Before long my back
stopped aching, my kidneys acted reg
ularly again and the inflammation of
the bladder all disappeared My
health has improved in every way"
Statement given December 1, 1879
On October 2, 1917 Mrs. Reidner

1t was Christmas eve, and cold; not
the kind of cold which sends the red
blood tingling through your veins and
makes you want to be "up and at
'em," but that miserable damp kind
that eats into the marrow of your
bones, attacking you from the rear and
sending cold shivers up and down your
spinal column. 1t gives you feeling
of dread and loneliness.
The three of us, "Curly," Happy
and myself, were standing at the cor
ner of yankee avenue and "Yiddish
street." waiting for the word Stand

machine gun on the parapet and go on
watch for two hours with our heads
sticking over the top.
Yankee avenue" was the name Of
the fire trench, while "Yiddish street.
was the communication trench leading
to the rear. We were occupying "Y''
sector of the front line of our brigade.
The trench was muddy, and in some
places thin crust of ice was begin
ming to form around the edges of the
puddles.
We had wrapped our feet and legs
with empty sand bags, and looked like
snow shovelers on Fifth avenue. My
teeth were chattering with the cold.
Happy was Shaping his hands on his
thighs, while Curly had unbuttoned
one of the buttons on his overcoat,
and with his left hand was desperately

Then came the unwelcome "Stand

muttering; ''Blime me, Christmas eve,

Happy was humming Keep the
Home Fires Burning" Right then, to
me, any kind of a home fire would
have been very welcome.
1t was black as pitch in No Mans
land. Curly stopped muttering to HIM
self and Happy's hummiGg ceased.
There was serious work in front of us.
For two hours we had to try and pene-
trate that blackness with our straining
eyes to see that Fritz did not surprise
us with some Christmas stunt of his.
Suddenly, Happy, who was standing
on the firestep next to me, gripped my
arm. and in a low, excited whisper,
asked:

carefully eased his rifle over the top,
ready for instant use. My rifle was al
ready in position. Curly was funsbling
with the flare pistol. Suddenly, ''plop!"
as he pulled the trigger, and red
streak shot up into the air as the star
shell described an arc out in front; it
hit the ground and burst, throwing
out white. ghostly light. A fright
ened 'meouw," and cat, with speed
clutch open, darted from the wire in
front of us, jumped over our gun and
disappeared into the blacknesS of the
trench. Curly ducked his head and
Happy let out weak, squeaky laugh.
I was frozen stiff with fear. Pretty
soon the pump action of my heart was
resumed. and once more looked out
into No Mans land.
For the remainder Of our two hours
on guard nothing happened. Then we
turned over to the second relief and,
half frozen, wendell our way through
the icy mud to the entrance of our
edugout.

"FLU" MANY CENTURIES OLD
Altogether Mistake to Think That
Disease Is in Any Manner
Modern.

Most of us think that the influenza
Is comparatively modern disease, but
this is not so. We have records of It
as far back as 1173 and from 1910 on
1t is absolutely identified as the same
influenza epidemic that has just swept
over the world. In the sixteenth CEN
fury there were three such epidemics.
