It's a common error To plaster the aching back, To rub with liniments, rheu matic joints, If the trouble comes from the kidneys. Its time to use Doan's Kid ney Pills. Here is convincing proof of merit. Mrs. H. Bernecker. 567 Phila delphia Ave., Cbambersburg, Pa., Bays: 'I bad a bad fall and my buck became very sore and painful. A constant, tbobbing ache settled in the small of my back and I suffered from head aches. I felt miserable and the medicine I took didn't seem to help me. I finally bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Greenawa't.s Drug Store and they soon re moved all the trouble and now I only use them occasionally as a preventive." Price 60c. at all dealers.

What the Bojs Eat Soldiers are fed and clothed by the Government Officers buy their own clothing and pro vide their own food. The food for tho Army dur ing the fical year ending June 80th, cost 1425,00 000 00 The feeding of the soldier from the time be leaves home until be embarks for Europe is a subject by itself. His feeling on ship board and overseas, but in camp and on the firing line, is another. A soldier's food for one day is called a ration. This ration con sists of twenty seven different articles, which must be ready daily, and they are ready. Gen eral Pershing reports that no man in France has had to wait for a meal when that meal was due. For materials in the soldier's ration will stand the acid test. Nothing second grade is bought; only the best of meat is pro cured, and it is handled in a central place in each camp by butchers. The cuts are thus used to the best advantage, and waste of bone and surplus fats avoided. Packers are required to can the best variety ef fruits and vegetables, and the department has gone into those States where the fioest tomatoes, corn, onions,, peas and beans are grown, and has taken uch portion of the crop as was needed for army use During last October 27 527, 500 pounds of potatoes and onions were furnished cimps and can tonmentsin this country, and durinr the eight months prior tc June 3, 1918, about 75,000 000 cans of tomatoes were used, enough tc reach from the battle front on the Marne to Linda, California, if they ware lined up end to end. Dned and eveporatcd fruits form an important part ot ihr army ration Approximate'? 80 000,000 pounds ot prunes, dried apples and peaches, mostly from California, will bepurchas ed from this year's crop, and California will also supply about , 70,000,030 cms of apricots, ? Baches, cherries and pearv be cherry seeds will bo saved forussintbamviufactu e lfgir masks Practs have an honoi able place on the soldier's bill rl fare It has ben proven tha .the prune has food vilu, frut value, tonic value, and value as i confection.
