DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger
Gus For Americas People To
Neglect

The great danger of kidney trou-
bles is that they so often get a firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health will be gradually UNI
dermined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Bright's disease may fol
low as the kidneys get worse. Don't
neglect your kidneys. Help the kid
neys with Doan's Kidney Pills,
which are so strongly recommended
right here in Americas.
Ask your neighbor!

EVEN MAJORS MAY
GET BONUS PAY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June A.
Ex-service men who Were discharg-
ed with rank above that of cap
tain may have some adjusted serv-
ice credit coming to them, under
the new adjusted compensation law,
according to advices received at
national headquarters of Ameri-
can Legion from Washington. pur-
ing the time the officer served as
captain or held commission below
that rank, he is entitled to adjust
ed service credit, his credit ceas-
ing when he received the perma-
nent or provision promotion which
placed him above the maximum
rank. For instance, an officer
holding a commission as captain
when he entered the army, and
who served in that grade for a
period of five months before be-
ing promoted to major, will be
entitled to five months adjusted
service credit. The same hold true
of the navy where an officer serv-
ed for a length of time either as
lieutenant or some grade below
lieutenant.

States Confederate Veterans and
his organization.
Commander Moss said: "The
dark days of the COS are forever
gone; gone is strife, the anger aad
the bitterness the pictures of the old
.dissension is fading away, but at the
altar of our hearts the fires Of our
love and devotion mount ever higher
with an always increasing splendor
1T is the sacred duty of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans to keep
alive this flame. The world has
been rocked to its foundation
stones since our fathers fought
and died; the boys of the Cray
and Blue, side by side on foreign
fields have cemented with their
blood the long gone rift between
the States; the flag our fathers
opposed now floats higher than all
the worlds banners and we of the
old South and the new South hold
our own heads as proudly high and
say, "Tis your flag, It's our flag
saved by the sacrifice of our wo-
men, conseerated by the blood Of
our boys"
Representing this new South
which reverently bows the knee
10 the old South of our fathers,
respond to the beautiful and cor
dial words of welcome which have
fallen from eloquent lips. If you
could but read the joy of our
hearts you would even then have
but a faint conception of our APP
probation of this hour.

federate Veterans / accept your
kindly words, and promise you
they will be treasured away in
the record Of our fathers heroism
and the sacred folds Of the Stars

more practical illustration of how a
person under medical advice can
regulate his daily life so as to per-

powers conferred on him by nature
than that furnished by the man
whom l have had the privilege Of
being in intimate relationship with

During the eight years that Wood
row Wilson occupied the White
House he worked as few Presidents

remarkable thing in the case of Mr..

Tullic and High Crowned Hats
 In Vogue
By FLORENCE CLARK

OOD morning! Have you se- 6e IT lected your tunicg' s
 might the followers of fashion greet one another these days.
 The tunic dominates the autumn mode There is the tunic suit, the tunlc frock and the coat which stimulates tunic You may feature it for street wear in the suit, frock or coat, but It also appears as an outstanding note or the newest afternoon and evening dresses. The tunic is essayed by each type of dress-and most successfully. sIThe dignity of the tunic has grown steadily with the inches that nave been added to it since it first appeared as an informal overblouse. The forerunner of The tunic was simply useful, com fortable sort of thing that women sub scribed to because it had way of fill ing in gaps in their wardrobes. Then It was made of jersey or cotton; now the loyeiiest of materials fashion its lines-- lines since grown long and graceful like the ugly duckling's neck Tn the fairy tale.
 One street costume and an afternoon dress, each illustrative of the lmpor- tance of the tunic, are in the newest autunan shades. the afternoon frock is shutter green and the enesemble suit russet. The frock seems to show diff ferent tones combined in its makeup, but this contrast appears so because of the materials used. Satin faced crepe fashions the upper part of the frock while the wide tunic bands are of dull crepe.
 A tunic costume is made of lovely fzL -fH ch biscuit-colored crepe de chine has been chosen to harmonize with the rich rus set cloth of the coat and lower portion of the frock. It lines the coat and goes into the making of the tunic. The whole effect is soft both as to color and the quality of the fabrics. The soft, ! troublesome" charm of this costume IS further emphasized by the narrow bands of moleskin fur which outline the sleeves. the high-standing collar and the straight pocket of the tunic. The smooth, graceful lines of the ensemble are unbroken by shaggy fur, nipples, loops or other distracting notions. Sure ly it represents a type of dress that ought to remain popular with certain type of girl.
 While they have accepted the high | waistline with reservations, placing a high fastening to suggest it here and a band of trimming to mark 1t there, it is interesting to note that another innovation of the fall season has been accepted with much more warmth and enthusiasm. It is the high-crowned hat. One is shown with the costume on today's page. The chic and becom- ingness of this type of hat seems to ac- cempanf the smart, long lines of the tunic mode admirably.
 Not only do the lines seem to be happily allied but the high crowned hat like the tunic may be severely plain or elaborately trimmed. Sweeping feathers tipped with silver may trim the high crowned hat that is worn with an aft ernoon tunic of lace or silk and the severe hat decorations of flat ribbon bows are strictly in keeping with the tailored simplicity.

Henry Hobgoblin a hard crack with my broom stick and I shall give Harry Hobgoblin a crack, tool" Mrs. Henry Hobgoblin said. This made Nil. Henry and Harry Hobgoblin look so funny. Raggedy Ann knew they would not enjoy their ginger ale and cheese nibbles.
 Maybe it would be better not to crack them with your flying broom stick" .Raggedy Ann said. We are not angry with them if they promise not to wrestle us again '"
 So Mrs. Henry Hobgoblin said she would not crack them if they promised never to be ill-behaved and rude again ,o strangers. And the two Hobgobllns were mighty glad to promise, so every one became good friends and not only enjoyed the ginger ale and cheese nib- bles but all had six ice cream cones and great many cream puffs besides.

Home Nursing
Neglect Spells Danger

 who ad.scraped his hand on the old iron gate, as his mother hurried around searching for iodine and band age.
 "A stitch in time-my dear,' warned his mother, gently. Many case Of blood poisoning started from a little scratch
 Well, I'm not going 10 have blood poisoning" said the lad and thought SC | little of his mothers ministrations that little while later, because the band age interfered with the carpentry task he was doing in the back yard, he took it off and stuffed it in his pocket.
 Franks pocket was just like all other big boys pocket. Full of a strange col lection of truck" his mother always said. Frank thought of them q little tcnderly as treasures
 There were Bits of string and old nails, and a few relics that survived from treasures of previous years. The pocket was dusty and none too clean i; many an apple, half eaten, or q lusci- ouy fragment of chocolate or tatfy had spent brief moments there.
 Naturally the dressing was no longer clean when Frank took it from his pocket and stuffed it back on his sore finger. His mother, it is true, HAD painted the scratch with iodine, but Frank had touched many objects, none too clean, during the time he had the dressing off his finger.
 So, of course, it got infected. And he had to have hot dressings and even surgical attention before the finger healed. He suffered hours of intense pain from the little scratch"
 All because he underestimated the importance or the seriousness of the injury. %
 Many people are just like Frank.
 They think it is sporting to make light of injufie8and declare that they never pay any attention to such trival things as scratches and cutS.'
 They sniff and scoff at germs

Just then Raggedy Ann came out of the cabin with large plate of cheese nibbles and six glasses of ginger ale with ice in it, and the ice tinkled as she walked.
