Mrs. Myrtle Myers. 312 Pine street,
Middletown, Pa., says:
"I have been ailing with nervous
ness, stomach and intestinal trouble.
At night I could not sleep soundly,
and awoke in the morning feeling
very tired and worn out. I was very
irritable and became excited very
easily, after which I would feel all
fagged out.
"After meals I was very much dis
tressed with pains in my stomach
and was subject to severe head
aches. I took treatment extensivelv
but could get no relief, which of
course caused me to worry a lot.
Finally I saw Sanpan advertised and
concluded to try it. ,
"I was really astonished at the
way my ailments responded to thi.-j
medicine.
'I now sleep well, my nerves have
settled, headaches are gone, and can
eat anything without fear of any

as a wonderful medicine."

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
TELLS OF WORK
BY AMBULANCES
Living, Wounded, Dying Are
Packed in Tiny Cellar
Near Firing Line
My Dear Sir:
To-nignt I am sitting in a small
underground cellar of one of the
public buildings of the town, acting
as a sort of timekeeper or starter
for the cars going up to our most
dangerous post and handling the re
serve cars for wounded in the town
itself. I wish I could describe the
scene as it is before my eyes—for
the whole world is passing here—
French, Americans, living, wounded
and dying.
A long heavily arched corridor,
with stone steps leading down to it,
two compartments off to one side
lined with wine bins, where our re
serve men and a few French bran
cardiers (stretcher bearers) are ly
ing on their stained stretchers, some
snoring; beyond, a door that gives
into a small operating room, and to
the left another door that leads to
a. litUe sick ward, the most pathetic
little room I have ever seen—with
four beds of different sizes and kinds
on one side and six on the other,
taken evidently from the ruined
houses nearby—and one tired in
firmier (hospital attendant), to tend
and soothe the wounded and dying.
Screams For Mother
In the bed nearest the door, a
French priest, shot through the
lungs—with pneumonia setting in—
his black beard pointed straight up,
and whispering for water. Next to
him, a little German lad, hardly
nineteen, and small, with about six
hours to live, calling, sometimes
screaming, for his mother, and then
for water. Next to him, a French
captain of infantry with his arm off
at the shoulder and his head wound
ed, weak, dying, but smiling: and
next to him a tirailleur in delirium
calling on his colonel to charge the
Germans. The infirmier is going
from one to the other, soothing and
waiting on each in turn. He asks me
what the German is saying, and I tell
him he is calling for his mother.
"Ah, this is a sad war," he says, as
he goes over to hold the poor lad's
hand.
A brancardier comes in with a
telephone message "a blesse
(wounded man), at Belleville—very
serious." This is a reserve car call,
so one slides out and is gone like a
ghost down the ruined street, ma
king all the speed its driver can—no
easy matter —with no lights. In
twenty minutes he is back. The
brancardiers go out—they come in
again bearing the wounded man on
a stretcher and place it on the floor
beside the little stove.One of them,
who is a priest, leans over him and
asks his name and town—then, in
answer to what his wife's name is,
he murmers—"Alice;" while on the
other side another brancardier is
slitting the clothes from his body
and I shiver with the pity of it at
the sight I saw.
The surgeon comes out of his little
operating room. Weary with the
night's tragic work—after so many,
many other tragic nights, he douses
his head in a bucket of water. Then
he turned to the wounded man. He
looked long at him, gently felt his
nose and lifted up his closed eyelid.
Then, at his nod, the stretcher is
again lifted and the wounded man
carried into the operating room, and
soon after into the little room of
sorrows.
In answer to my eager question
the surgeon shook his head. Not a
chance.
A brancardier and I gathered the
soldier's belongings from his clothes
to be sent to his wife, but even we
had to stop for a few minutes after
we saw the photograph of his wife
and their two little children.
An hour later, as our night's work
was slacking down and several cars
had driven up and been unloaded,
the infirmier came in from the little
room and said something to the
brancardiers. Two of them got a
stretcher and in a moment "the
blesse from Belleville" came past us
with a sheet over him. They laid him
down at the other end of the room
and another brancardier commenced
rolling and tying him in burlap for
burial. As you look he changed to a
shapeless log. Then out to the dead
wagon with It.
Soon after I went into the little
ward again to see how the others
were coming through the night, and
was glad to see them all quieted
down; even the little German seem
ed less in pain though his breathing
still shook the heavy little bed he
lay on.
Through a chink I saw that day
was beginning to break, and as I no
ticed it I heard the chief's car com
ing in from the "Sap" and knew the
night's work was over.

Russia to Hunt Down
Men Described as More
Dangerous Than Enemy
By Associated Press
New York. July 25. lnformation
that the Russian provisional govern-.
ment has decided to terminate the ap- I
parent pro-German activities of Ni- 1
kolai Lenlne, the radical Socialist
leader, by arresting him and many
of his followers, has reached the Rus
sian Information Bureau here. These
advices indicate Lentne probably will
be shot if he is convicted as a spy
working in the interest of Germany,
but that if not convicted, he will be \
isolated during the war. This last 1
measure, is explained here, would be
adopted as a precaution against the
presence of a "a crazy man in poli
tics at this crisis."
So far as information received by ;
the bureau shows no evidence has
been uncovered in Fetrograd to con- i
firm the statements implicating Len
ine as an agent of the German gen
eral staff, although the provisional
government's present determination
to take him into custody leads Rus- '
sians here to suspect that the gov- I
crnment may know he has been guilty 1
of taking German gold.
It is explained that the pro- j
visional government. anxious to
avoid any accusation of interfer- |
ence with freedom of speech or of the [
press, has heretofore hesitated to ar- j
rest Lenine, but his activities reach
ed the point where the officials de- )
termined not to tolerate them any ;
longer, regarding them as "more
dangerous for Russia and her lib- ]
erty than the German armies with- I
out."

By Associated Press
Petrograd, July 25. —The present j
line of the southwestern front is
approximately that occupied after j
General Brussiloff's drive last sum
mer, except before Tarnopol. where!
the enemy succeeded In pushing fur-j
ther into Russian territory. The i
fate of the latter town was virtually |
decided with the Germans holding
the suburb just across the Sereth
river, within easy gun range.
The Germans chose the junction
point of the Seventh and Eleventh
armies for beginning their offensive,
the first blow being struck between
Zboroff and Pebako on a twenty
mile front. Without great effort,
as is admitted In the Russian official
communications, they pursued their
advance to the line of the Sereth.
This uncovering of the Russian po
sitions south of Tarnopol forced a
retirement all along the diagonal
line southwestward, cutting the
Strypa and Zlota Ltpa to Halicz and
the Lomnica. The Russians have
obliged to retire to the right
bank of the latter river and Halicz
is seriouslp threatened, with a pros
pect of a further retirement to the

a general agitation for the restora

CHICAGO'S 200,000 FARMS
Chicago's determination to help
feed herself as her "bit" in meet
ing the crisis of the war has result
ed in the planting of 200,000 back
yard and vacant lot! gardens within
the city limits. Even before Pres
ident Wilson issued his appeal to the
American people to increase their
production of food, Chicago had
taken the initial steps which result
ed in one of the most remarkable
movements of its kind on record
anywhere. This is the record of the
Chicago Garden Bureau:
Between April 1 and the end of
May, 8,000 acres, or approximately
one-fourth of the entire vacant land
in the city, had been planted to
vegetables. To accomplish this re
sult over three hundred garden
meetings were held, which were at
tended by seventy thousand people;
395,000 pieces of literature pertain
ing to gardens were distributed,
seed at wholesale price was provid
ed for 25,000 persons, and twenty
four tractors and fifty teams were
kept busy, day and night, plowing
the ground. The enormous demand
for gardens is shown by the fact
that during that period fully 120,000
people called at the bureau to secure
assistance in procuring ground, and
to buy seeds or to have their ground
plowed.
During the next three weeks meet
ings were held in each of the three
hundred public schools, and thirty
thousand pupils enlisted in the
movement. Meetings were held in
churches, club rooms, private homes,
empty store buildings, and even on
vacant lots. Some of the lectures
were delivered in six or seven dif
ferent languages. Pastors of 1,200
churches preached sermons on gar
dens.
This publicity had the desired ef
fect. Applications for vacant lots
began to flow in upon the bureau at
the rate of two hundred a day, rap
idly increasing to one thousand
daily. Every day's mail brought
hundreds of applications.. The

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
For lasting popularity I would
back the amiable, comfortable, like
able individual against the most fas
cinating charmer in the world.
Brilliancy and wit and magnetism
attract, but they do not hold unless
back of them lies a great deal of
ability. The exacting, positive per
son who demands a great deal from
his friends and who "won't play un
less he can be president," has a way
of losing friends almost as fast as he
makes them.
So, too, has the supersensitive,
imaginative person who Is always
looking for slights and who forces
his friends into a constant state of
apologizing and explaining that they
never meant to hurt his feelings.
The man easy to get along with is
the sort who keeps his own word
and who makes allowances for other
people when they fail to live up to
their promises! Ho knows what ef
fort it takes to remember and carry
out the details of a promise and so
ho allows for the circumstances and
conditions which may interfere with
other people's performance even
while he is very punctilious about
making his own conform with his
plans and given work. And the same
with the women.
A lack of sense of humor gener
ally makes people rather "difficult"
as friends. They fail to share your
amusement and they lay stress on
the dignity and importance of situ
ations which ought to be taken with
a certain amiable indifference.
A tendency to suspicion is a very
hard thing to get on with. I know
an otherwise charming young wo
man who makes herself and her
friends miserable through her failure
to trust them. Theoretically this
lack of faith in other people ought
to mean that she herself is not
worthy of faith and is judging other
people by herself.
But in this particular case, the
woman concerned is bitterly Judging
all the world in terms of one friend
who failed her cruelly once upon a
time. And she is making herself
and everbody around her miserable
by doubting everyone and by being
always ready to believe that she is
going to meet with an utter lack of
honesty or fair treatment.
Demanding love as a right is an
other particularly difficult phase for
friendship to meet. When liking and
loyalty are honestly given, they
ought to be cherished and appreci
ated beyond words. But to demand
them or to expect that they can be
given in return for the demand is
absurd.
The person who whines. "You
don't care for me as much as you
used to. I'm not necessary to you
any more. I don't mean as much
to you as you mean to me" is sure to
bring about the state against which
the complaints are registered. Either
the whining attitude actually rebuffs
love or the power of suggestion de
stroys it, or the words themselves an
noy and irritate.
To be easy to set on with means
to be exacting with yourself and not
with others, to take all sorts of situ
ations with the utmost good nature,to
sympathize with other people's diffi
culties and not to bore them with a
long recital of your own, to want the
best enough to refuse anything else
and to have enough sense of your
own dignity to refuse to have liber
ties taken with it. The sympathetic
understanding soul who is never a
parasite and who contributes a
bright, interesting personality is gen
erally far more loved, far more
sought after in any gathering than
is the brittle and brilliant or the
beautiful and self-satisfied individual.
In flying madly across country af
ter an elusive will o' the wisp or in
tearing up wild precipices after
some over-stimulating and over-ex
acting big peisonality, there is noth
ing but wearying struggle. That is
only one degree less difficult and un
satisfactory than galloping downhill
after- a waster and profligate.
It is in the comfortable, broad
fields and the shady paths along the
rivulet and tne easy ascents among
the foothills that the average man
walks most happily.
So the man or woman who can
join his friends in the walks of
everyday life and add color and zest
and peace to them is the man or
woman whose companionship is
pleasing and comfortable and grate
ful.

AN OPERATION
AVERTED
Philadelphia, Pa.—"One year ago I
was very sick and I suffered with
pains in my side
a and back until I
nearly went crazy.
I went to different
doctors and they
all said I had fe
male trouble and
would not get any
re 1 i e f until I
would be operated
on. I had suffer
ed for four years
before this time,
__ but I kept getting
worse the more
medicine I took. Every month since
I was a young girl 1 had suffered
with cramps in my sides at periods
and was never regular. I saw your
advertisement in the newspaper and
ihe picture of a woman who had been
saved from an operation and this pic
ture was impressed on my mind. Tha
doctor had given me only two more
days to make up my mind so I sent
my husband to the drug store at once
for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and believe
me,' I soon noticed a change and
when I had finished the third bottle
I was cured and never felt better. I
grant you privilege to publish my
letter and am only too glad to let
other women know of my cure."—

ALLIES TO CLEAR
AIR IN SESSION
Plan to Undo Schemes of Ger
many in Russia and
Austria
By Associated Press
Paris, July 25. —The labors of the
allied conference will not be limited
to the Balkans. For one thing it is
important to clear the air after the
reichstag action last week. Although
Premier Lloyd-George has already
replied to a certain extent to the
speech of Chancellor Michaelis, it is
desirable, says the Matin, that the
Allies should issue a joint statement
on what happened at Berlin so that
Germany's peace maneuver may
everywhere be checked and reasons
given where they are needed why
th Allies cannot accept the reichstag
resolution as a basis for peace nego
tiations.
This explanation, adds the Matin,
will be principally addressed to the
peoples of Russia and Austria-Hun
gary. There must be no risk of Rus
sian revolutionarists being duped by
the recihstag and the Allies must
demonstrate to them what would be
the result in Europe if Germany's
crimes are allowed to go unpunished.
At the same time the Austro-Hun
garian press, evidently acting under
orders from the foreign office, is try
ing to create the impression that the
reichstag made concessions which
the Allies are likely to regard as
dictated by a spirit of conciliation.
It. is necessary to remove all doubts
cn this subject and show the peoples
of Austria-Hungary how complete
and final would be their subservience
to German-Magyar domination if
peace were now made on a basis of
no annexations and no indemnities.

last week.

A TIME FOR STRONG NERVES
Many people are worrying them
selves sick over the high cost of living.
War time with its excitement and
hysteria is a trial to the strongest
nerves. To those whose nervous sys
tems are run down by overwork or
worry, to those who are on the verge
of neurasthenia, it is a time of danger.
There is no tonic for the nerves that
is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. There is no form of debility
that does not rob the nerves of nour
ishment. -The remedy therefore for
nervous breakdown is a tonic that will
build up the general health, revitalize
the blood and enable it to carry to the
nerves the elements that they need.
I)r. Williams' Pink Pills are an Ideal
tonic for this condition because they
i are non-alcoholic and neurasthenic
| patients should avoid alcoholic stimu
lants.
_ The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Scl cnectady, N. Y., has published a
little book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia in
which the symptoms are l'ully describ
ed and the correct treatment given.
The booklet is free on request.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
your o\rn druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60
cents per box, six boxes for $2.50.
