KIDNEYS WEAKENING?
LOOK OUT.

Kidney troubles don't disappear of
themselves. They grow slowly but
steadily, undermining health with
deadly certainty, until you fall a vie
tim TO incurable disease.
Stop your troubles while there is
time. Don't wait until little pains
become big aches. Don't trif1e with
disease. To avoid future suffering
begin treatment with GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules now. Take
three or four every day until you are
entirely free from pain.
This w~ell-known preparation has
been one of the national remedies of
Holland for centuries. In 1896 the
government of the Netherlands grant
ed a special charter authorizing its
preparation and sale.
The housewife of Holland would
almost as soon be without food as
without her Real Dutch Drops" as
she quantity calls GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules. They restore
strength and are responsible in a
great measure for the sturdy, robust
health of the Hollanders.
Do not delay. Go to your drug
gist and insist on his supplying you

with GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules. Take them as directed,
and if you are not satisfied with re-
suits your druggist will gladly refund
your money. Look for the name

Dear Uncle Louis:
have intended writing you for
some time, but never got started at
it before so here / go. Suppose you
have heard something about Pete and
| being over here from some of them
at home, so will just tell you that so
far | have enjoyed myself very much
in France. Had a great trip across
and enjoyed the experience very
much. Landed at Brest, after an un-
eventful voyage of 7 days on the wa
ter. We had sevral courss of Frnch
warfare to go through and were just
ready for the front when the armis-
tice cheated us out of our part of the
fight. After seeing so many from
the front tho, i can't say that am
very sorry that WI were late.
l had always hoped that | would
get in at least one big fight tho, for
the pleasure of letting the Germans
know what l thought of them.
We were at camp Coltqirden, near.

leans order ham and eggs in the
Cafes because they can't read any
thing else. The French are hard to
figure out. They are very smart
but seem a thousand years behind in
some things. ] think the American
Engineers taught them what sewer
rage is. Some of the cities tho are
very smart, and you know what infu-
world. This is a great country for
tourist to visit for it is beautiful but
the United States is in a class by it
self. think when l get back ! will
groes who got very seasick coming
stay on that side. Some Of the ne
over, say they will wait until they
build a bridge across, and one wrote
his wife near C'ville that she could
go and marry again for he would
never get on a ship again. Another
negro wrote a letter home TO his ia
Their and dated it Somewhere in
France" The old negro said,
knew that darn boy would go over
/ there get lost" Amt that like a
negro? There are a thousand things
] could tell you but ] have written
you a very long letter, so will stop
and tell you the rest when | see you.
l expect to get home by March LIST,
but there is no telling a mar in the

l see you / wish you and yours the
very best Of luck and with much love
to all. Yours,

The school wasn't conducted, so we
were once ordered to proceed to a
certain port to sail home, but before
we could get away the order \,
scinded and here we still are. The
boys are very anxious to go home
too, for we have been in service for
over l6 months and have more than
enough OF the army. If stayed in

Of getting up and going to bed by a

We are now only 80 miles from
the Swiss border and 20 miles from

statistical records of achievement of
all the firms that worked on guns
or ammunition and this official
commentary will have a place in the
records of those firms in the years
to come.
Among the many interesting
things in the report is the account
now officially given of the reasons
that fmpelled the War Department
to cast aside except for training
purposes all of the 3-inch field ar
tllery with which the American
Army was equipped when the
United States entered the war, and
to substitute for these weapons
three types of guns fitted to take
ammunition of the 75mm type en-
ployed by the French light pieces.
French IS Problem Solved
There has been much controversy
because of the alleged failure to
adopt at the outset of the war the
French rs. famous for its perform
ances in the war, as the standard
American piece of this type, The
report shows that the gun was
adopted for combat purposes, but
that its production in quantity in
the United States proved to be even
more of problem than the Gov
ernment's experts had anticipated.
For that reason the American
3-inch gun, redesigned for 75 am
munition, and the British 3.3-inch
field gun, similarly rechambered,
were both put into production in
order to make use of every facility
for manufacture. The American
and British types were intended
primarily for training work and
were so employed. But the wis
dom of putting these guns into pro-
duction on a quantity scale is en-
phasized in the following para
graph:
I'm the year and one-half of our
war experience the manufacturing
production problems were all prac-
tically and completely solved, with
one exception-that of building
French hydropneumatic recupera-
tors for the 75mm guns. This, per-
haps the hardest manufacturing job
in the whole range of war Industrial
enterprises and naturally the last
one to come through, had not been
solved when the armistice was
signed. However, it is only fair to
state that the solution of this re-
cuperator problem was imminent on
November IL, 1918"
French Secret
The recuperator is the recoil de-
vice which makes these French
guns what they are Their con-
struction was a French secret and
to build them there is required a
degree of precision comparable
only. the report states. to that nee
essary in building as delicate an in
strument as a sextant. 1t was with
difficulty that any American manu-
facturer was persuaded to undertake
it, yet on April 25, 1919, sixty
seven of these recuperators had
been completed and fifty-three of
these passed by French experts and
accepted by the Government. They
were the first of these devices built
out of France or by other than the
skilled French workmen.
Construction of these guns them
selves and their carriages went for
ward swiftly. Under the agree
ments, the French and British were
to supply the first American armies
with all of their field artillery and
intermediate batteries, with the ex-

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye

those who wear glasses, will be glad
to know that according to DR.. Lewis
there is real hope and help Tor them.
Many whose eyes were raining say
they have had their eyes restored by
this remarkable prescription and
many who once wore glasses say they
have thrown them away. One man
says. after using it: Il was almost
blind. Could not see to read at all.
Now I can read everything without
my glasses and my eyes do not hurt
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully Now they feel fine all the
time. 1t was like miracle to me"

tion for 10 days everything seems

my long distance glasses altogether.
I can count the fluttering leaves on

1t is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them in
a reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen their
eyes so as to be spared the trouble
and expense of ever getting glasses.
