A. is endeavoring to raise a new ("und for maintaining their present amp quarters and for the construe‘lon of new buildings in Italy and Russia.

I have been asked, both by the comnittee back home and the Y. M. C. A. >oys here to write a word urging the ooperation of all the folks back home ‘o assure the success of this $35,000,'OO drive. Had I never received a word from either party I can safely say that I mt speaking the sentimen’s of every boy in camp when I say that this is one of the greatest aids the soldiers have here in camp to make camp life easy. Their free shows, stationery, the leigious privilege, the mailing service, magazines, books, etc., which they so willingly give, make soldiering quite ■aster than it other wise would be. It Is a wonderful organization and bilespensable. It is worthy of any nan's support and in behalf of eveiy Adams county boy, yes, every boy rom Indiana. I appeal to you always loyal citizens from my home county o give generously to this cause and you will by doing so, greatly lesson the burden of the boys in khaki. Camp Shelby is now nearly completed and the training is progressing rapidly. Most of the Adams county boys are in the Engineers’ corps but a few are here with me in the Signal corps. Again requesting all to give generously to this new Y. M. C. A. fund, I remain Ever sincerely, PRIVATE E. D. CONNER 113th Field Signal Battalion, Camp Shelby, Miss. FIGHTING FOR “OLD GLORY." (Written by Euriel Ireta Smith. De-a-tur. Indiana.) I well remember when I was nine years old, Os the war stories, grandfather told. He was one to set our country free. And Uncle Sam still remembers him at ‘73. So boys, try to do what you can do To bring honor to our Red, White and Blue.

And if you are healthy and stout, Don’t try to be a slacker and back out Don’t think of hoe and Dear Laurie Just think if you die it’s for old glory, So do all you can do To raise the torn Red. White and Blue Os course Woodrow Wilson is a good man And he is helping all he can, But one is trying to beat him. it’s the kaiser, Yet the dear old U. S.A. is a whole lot wiser; Uncle Sam will honor the ones, brave and true. Who will light for the Red, White and Blue. Yes we did all we could to cheer. But your thoughts were on one so dear And if you come home, alive or dead She will smile and say "Old Glory" is his bed. And you did aU you could do. You raised the torn Red, U bite and Blue. \7tr:< r. to hiodehs. Notice Is hereby given that (he common council in n»d for Hie City of lioeatm.

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets —a substitute for calomel—were prepared by Dr. Edwards after 17 years of study with his patients. Dr. Edwards’Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil. You will know them by their olive color. To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like childhood days you must get at the cause. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel—yet have no dangerous after effects. They start the bile and overcome constipation.

A Dollar Laid Out to Aid Health is Not an Expenditure, But a Loan, Which Will be Returned a Hundred Fold. HOW TO REGULATE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Take SAN-YAK. It prevents a i bony-like hardening of the arteries ■at ages past 50 years. DR. BURNHAM’S SAN-YAK is the sure way to ; prevent Paralysis and Apoplexy. In its use you have prevented or cured kidney and bladder trouble. It is the greatest in use to prevent the ! clumsy, stiff joints and muscles and ■ for neutritis and rheumatism and constipation. It has no equal for I quality and results. Mrs. F. E. Hildebrand, 386 Cottage 1 Ave., Wabash, Ind. Gentlemen:— The doctors said I had Bright’s Dis- | ease and high blood pressure of 186. , I was sick and dizzy, stiff and clumsy iin my muscles. I was so weak I could scarcely walk. My daughters heard of SAN-YAK, and sent me a bottle, and before the first bottle was gone 1 was feeling fine. SANI YAK has cured me and for the beneI fit of others you are welcome to use this letter. i Mrs. J. B. Taylor, of Kendallville, says: I I had stomach and liver trouble for | years. I was dizzy, sick and so weak I could scarcely walk. I was clumsy i from swollen limbs. Since taking 1 SAN-YAK I am feeling fine. I am 70 . years old and can walk a mile with i any of the young folks. Before I took SAN YAK if I went anywhere I I had to ride. I have not had a cold I for two years. I have recommended SAN-YAK to my friends and it is highly praised by all who have used it.

i One teaspoontul in a glass of waI ter half hour before breakfast, beats all antiseptics and tonic for the stomach, bowels and kidneys. 1 have tried all kinds. D. 11. Janes, Homer, Michigan, says. i was greatly troubled for several years with high blood pres- . sure, short in breath, bad kidney and I bladder trouble, dizzy and sick, SAN-YAK has done everything for me and my health is fine at 72 years. I can work with ease and comfort. | Mr. A. H. Blair, Homer. Michigan: Dear Doctor —Your SAN-YAK did everything for me for kidney and blad--1 der trouble. I can rest at night without inconvenience. G. W, Sparks, Montpelier, says: I “I took six bottles of SAN-YAK about . three years ago. I was suffering with gioat weakness due to kidney and bladder trouble I am 73 years old |and mv hoal'h is fine since I took the | SAN-YAK. U is a wonderful regulator of the bowels."
