No matter how the name was split to

Finally the young woman decided

Checking Names Of Soldier Survivors,
fectly legible, but the signature vii
prove to be one of those nonforgeable
jumbles of pen strokes which are the
delight and pet hobby Of the writer
and the despair Of every hopeful
reader.
Silent letters In names must always
be taken into consideration. The name
of Hlynack is a good example. where
the silent letter is the key letter for
searching, but at the same time It is
particularly dead in pronunciation.
This name is pronounced Lynack, and
in the hurry of writing, often names
are misspelled, when on the surface
they appear very simple and correct.
Foreign names are often typed In
correctly because the soldier at the
time Of making application for insur-
ance may have been unfamiliar with
English and made mistake In re.
.peating the spelling to the army or
navy clerk. This is great source Of
worry to searchers.
Names Spelled Many Ways.
Frequently one mans name may be
spelled in four or five ways. If rela-
tives, parents or someone interested
in his welfare inquiries about his insur-
ance, each will spell it in their way.
Girl searchers must determine which
is the correct spelling and then YER
ify it from the mans original sigma
ture.

of artificial restrictions which may
seem to interfere temporarily. When
demand exceeds supply, prices are

Constipation

Most laxatives and cathartics
afford only temporary relief and
should be used only for that pur-
pose. When you want permanent
relief take Chamberlain's Tablets
and be careful to observe the direc-
tions with each package. These
tablets not only move the bowels,
but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.
