BUSY COUNTING NEW NOSES
Recent Membership "Push" Will Re-
quirs Time to Decide Total Of
New Faces Added.

There are tive reasons why 1t will
b impossible for some time to an
nouncs the total Of new members oh
tained in the Legion's recent member
ship push. The first is the inevitable
lapse OF time necessary to get individ-
al figures from nearly ten thousand
Lsgaen Dssh in all parts Of the coun-
xy-and in some parts of other eoun-
tries. The second Is the fact that,
while the push closed officially on May
~, the enthusiasm accumulated and
concentrated On that week Of effort
has spilled ever the edges and gone
tight en effervescing.
The full story Of the push-the meth
els used, all the way from somebody's
ingenious idea to everybody's solid
hard work-can perhaps never be told.
Governors Of more than thirty states
gave whole-hearted endorsement to
the push, and the resulting publicity
tention to the Legion's effort. Gov
ornor John Fl. Bartlett of New Hamp-
shire, for instance. issued a proclama-
ten, exactly as on Thanksgiving. "In
enc sense" reads the proclamation.
"this Is an exclusive affair, as in the
natisn only four million, and in New
Hampshire only eighteen thousand
men and women are eligible for mem
bership. Yet in wider sense, the
push a. It IL designated. carries
n0werfnl annpal to all Americans. who
cherish our national traditions"

spill, last Friday, while driving to
Arlington, Nebr.
j. e. Jones was driving his Cadil-
lac coupe, and in attempting to turn
sharp corner, the car skidded. In

was forced into the road ditch, up on
the bank then down the same route
into the road before it was stopped.
All of the occupants were badly

REAL ESTATE MAN

And Stomach Trouble Are
Gone-Gained Is Pounds
II was in a mighty bad fix for ten
years and weighed only one hundred
and forty-five pounds, but by the
help of Tanlac have regained my
health and strength and weigh fif-
teen pounds more than did when
began taking it," said Wesley S.
Houghton, real estate dealer living
at 171S Twenty Second street, Des
Moines, Iowa.
"My stomach was all upset." said
MIR. Houghton, and my appetite
was very poor. What little did
manage to eat caused sour gas to
form on my stomach and sometimes
became so nauseated couldn't re-
tain a thing. This has pressed up
around my heart and caused such
fearful palpitating spells that it
alarmed me and got so short of
breath that | thought j would fall
right down in the street.
MY kidneys bothered me terribly
and I don't believe that the pains in
my back could have hurt me more if
someone had cut me with a knife.
! also 4lad rheumatism in both my
arms that hurt so couldn't raise my
hands above my head.
g Ihave taken five bottles of Tan
lac now and it has built me up fif-
teen pounds. | eat anything l want
and am never troubled with indiges-
zion, gas, shortness of breath
or palpitation. My kidneys don't
bother me any more and the rheuma-
tlsm has entirely disappeared from
my arms"

but the nurses maintained an active

army reorganization was plainly i'm

More than 10000 army nurses saw
overseas service during the war. All
were graduate nurses recruited largely
through the American Red Cross nurs-
ing service. Army nurses were among
the first to represent America on the
