frequent headaches, pains in the stomach,
bad taste in the mouth, dark rings under

worth living if you are chronic sufferer
from indigestion and biliousness.
When the stomach is out Of order, the
LIVER not working properly, your heart is
obliged to do so much extra work, that
it causes palpitation, faintness, and if
not checked becomes dangerous.
To feel fresh and fit for your daily
duties, you must keep your stomach well,
your liver active, and the bowels regu-

digestive tonic, and stomach remedy, it
has no equal, and 80 years of continuous

Washington, D. c., Aug Amy mem.
Der Of the A. f. f. whether commissioned
officer, enlisted man, or belonging to the
army or navy nurses corps is entitled
to the benefits Of the vocational rehabil-
station act, provided his or her disability
was incurred while In active service. IL
is not generally understood that the gov
ernment's provisions for re-educating
those suffering from war injuries ex'
tends TO women, but such is the case.
The federal board for vocational educa-
ton has a number of women disabled
in service registered in vocational courses
who are receiving the same consideration
during their training as disabled men.
Nurses who contracted tuberculosis while
on duty are, after their case is pro.
nounced arrested, retaining for some
work not quite so taxing as their present
occupation. A yeowoman, who was left
deaf after an attack of spinal meningitis,
is taking course in lip reading. An
army nurse with serious heart trouble,
the after effects of diphtheria, is pre-.
pairing to be landscape gardener. 9th
ers whose disability prevents them con-
tinuing as nurses, are specializing In die.
tetics, and some are taking secretarial
training Uncle Sam provides for the
women disabled in his service as we'll as
