+♦+♦♦+++♦♦♦♦*♦ ♦ CAMP NIBLICK NOTES. ♦ +++++++ ♦ + ♦ + ♦♦♦ Since the boys received their "shot in the arm" this morning Camp Niblick, is commencing to look like a hospital camp. About ten of the fellows ' took the count this morning and those ■ who were able administered first aid i methods to help their fallen comrades. All the boys are sick, although some ; are not as bad as others, and they all have very sore right arms. Saturday afternoon two little boys brought over to the camp a bushel basket of fresh popped pop corn. The boys were certainly thankful for It, but the names of the givers could not , be learned. Gerald Buckmaster and a few of his ■ boy friends made a canvass the other day for pennies, nickels and dimes for 'which they wanted to buy a Victrola record and present it to the members . of Company A. The boys succeeded in raising the money and went direct , to the Holthouse Drug company where I they purchased the record. 1 In a fast game of ball yesterday at 1 the old ball park the second team of Company A defeated the first team to the tune of 26 to 17. Frequent changes were made in the line up, there being ’ five or six pitchers an dseven or eight catchers used in the course of the game. One of the features was a . home run by Lieut. Peterson. About ’ nine dollars was taken in at the gate, • and added to the company fund. o „ i > Master of Circumstance. r We are forced to accept circumstances, to take them Into account in our planning.

from my age that when going up stairs I had to go very slowly with my hands on the. steps, then sit down at the top to rest. The doctor said he thought I should have an operation, and my friends thought I would not live to move into our new house. My daughter asked me

fßwt it

to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as she had taken it with good results. I did so, my weakness disappeared, I gained in strength, moved into our new home, did all kinds ot garden work, shoveled dirt, did building and cement work, and raised hundreds of chickens and ducks. I cannot say enough in praise of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and if these facts are useful you may publish them for the benefit of other women.’’—Mrs. M. O.
