"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
A COMPARISON
tiaaje# W. Gerard in Philadelphia
.Ledger)
A German military critic said
that Robert E. Lee was America's
•blest soldier. But when Lee s
army ot invasion came into Penn
sylvania it didu't cut down a tree,
crumple a garden or steal a pig.
Indeed, Lee was so good a soldier
»h*t se said the burning of Cham
bersburg was a military blunder
for 5»hich he was not responsible.
The officer in all America'^ wars
who did the most burning, backing
and roobing was Benedict Arnold
•Iter l * had turned traitor to bis
country. But the chief effect of it
,wa« "o solidify the colonists Into
au effort to win the revolution.
MKS6AC.E OF THE "HOME CARD"
Women iu millions of American
home* 'will read the message of
the "Home Card" and will follow
iu suggestions. If enough millions
do this the problem of feeding the
&Ufes and ourselves is solved, and
the war won. This is the be''ef
of tie United State* Food Adminis
tration, wLo hone, during "Foc.4
Pledge Week" to organize the
American Women into a volunteer
food conservation army. The duties,
of these women, as stated by the
"Home Card," are merely to eat
less and serve less of wheat, beef,
pork, dairy products and sugar, and
more of other foods of which we
have an abundance.

and be comforted. No soldiers of
our country -will encounter greater
risks than have tho$e in this con
' lag eat. It hag been in the fore
bout of the fighting as the fre
quent ■torias of its brilliant achieve
ments have proved. Accounts of
the daring of its troops have fill
ed columns. It has undoubtedly
last more of its total number than
the average group of fighting men,
yet the statistics show that its to
tal aiortailtj; in three years has
be«s 2627. ' >J •
Out of the 33,000 who went
across to Europe in 1914, there
more than 30,000 alive today,
and sot only alive but better in
health and better in every way than
they would oe if they had remained
»t the work In which tbey were em
ployed at home.
It la natural to think about the
It is natural to think about the
fearful risks the boys are to run
■when we bid them godspeed: and
send them to the training camps,
but if wa will bear it in mind that
no far from going to certain death
the chances for any one of them is
9 to 2 tiat he will come back,

"Most persons wilt nue«* Hons or

lias bis bark turned, but- n monkey will

can tell when be'll hit back. Even a
medium small monkey can strike a
blow that will reach through a coat,

nasty wound. The most darfng thing
I ever did was to go h*to a monkey

It was the same lady who two years

"Oh, Tom, why can't you ever come
Into the house without bringing a tale
of trouble with you? I'm so sick of
hearing about bow hard you have to

THE BEST PROOF
«k»fc .vaj Citizens Cnnjiot Doubt It
Doan's Kidney Pills wera used—
They brought benefit.
Tims bas strengthened the evi
dence.
Haa proven the result lasting.
The proof of merit is convincing.
L. Bauer, 203 S. Delmas Ave., Sa,
Jose, Calif., says: "I wan taken
yith a terrible pain iu my back.
1* I stooped, lifted or made a
misstep, darting paing shot thru
my kidneys causing the worst kind
ol 9Ufiering. I got a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills, being told they were
the best medicine to be bad for
pains in the back and other kid
ney trouble. They removed the
pain and distress and 1 have never
had a return of the complaint."
(Statement given October 23,
1912.)
THE RESULTS LASTED
On May 2Z, 1916 Mr. Bauer said:
"My cure has proven to be a per
manent one. 1 never stop praising
Doan'a Kidney Pills."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge.t Doan'g Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Bauer had. Foster-Mil
