The Peoples Loan & Trust Co : BANK OF SERVICE MORE MB BLOOD AND STEADIER I NERVES FOR RUN DOWN PEOPLE The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous, Keen-Minded, Men and Women It has been said of Americans that they work their habits overtime. Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork. By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body of needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alcoholic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women lit to be of help to themselves and others. It is time to be temperate in all things. Th e man or WO man with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor, the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid excesses. Timidness, despondency, fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and even cowardliness, are due in a large measure to abused nerves. People with plenty of red blood corpuscles and strong, healthy nerves have no desire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and support. There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organic diseasei in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vigorous and energetic in body in u very few weeks and at trifling cost. To become strong and ambitious, to feel that work is not drudgery; to have steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power of endurance; to be not only a mn but a* men now go, a superman, you mud take seven tablets of; Biu-feren every day for seven days—and take them faithfully. Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days take ©nc only after meal until the supply is exhausted. Then If you i‘ r el that any claim made in this special notice is untrue—if your nerves are not twice as steady as before; if you do not feel ambitious, more vigorous and keen-minded, the pharmacist who dispensed the tablets to you will gladly hand you back just wnat yo- paid for them. Bio-feren is without doubt the grandest remedy for nervous, rundown, weak, anaemic men and women ever offered direct through druggists and is not at al! expensive. All druggists in this city and vicinity have a supply on hand—sell many packages, r ——n,, ■< < l-JCi \ M The mileage guarantee of Kelly-Spring-field Tires represents, not the most you could hope for, but the least you could expect. \ Kelly-Springfield TIRES and INNER TUBES Kelly-Springfield Inner Tubes are tough and durable.

As for myself, I am still in the anny nnd am located at the village of Saizerais, about half way between Nancy and Toul. Dur,ing the war this town was not far behind the front line trenches, but the boche never got quite this far. But the war is over now, and except for our presence, and ttiat of a French soldier here and there, the community seems as quiet and peaceful as any in America. I I wish you could go on the trip 1 took a couple of weeks ago. I was given seven days’ leave, along with twenty others from this detachment, and sent to one of the regular army leave areas. We thought we were going to Nice, on the shore of the Mediterranean, but instead we found ourselves at Chamonix, a village in the Alps mountains, lying right at the foot of Mount Blanc, the highest peak in Europe. You can turn to your, geography and find the exact location. You should see the scenery there. It is the most w’onderful I ever saw. We could get up in the morning, step out cn the balcony and gaze upon the snow-clad peaks far, far alxAe ÜB , with the light, fleecy clouds hanging about then: like a. mantle. The mountain sides are cov- * ered with fir trees up to a consderable height. The higher peaks are of bare, solid granite, with a little slate heer and there, and a heavy mantle ~ of snow hangs over all. It was great sport to wander along the mountain paths, climbing up above the timber line and looking down on the valley below. On one: trip I was able to see the Italian border, about 15 miles away. The Swiss border was about the same distance and on clear days could be seen from the balcony of our hotel. It is a fun-| ny sensation to look down and see the clouds, but we did that several times on our hikes. I was fortunate tn having Corporal Hauser, an artist, for a' companion. He showed many beautiful things which I would never have noticed myself. Since our return he has made a water-color picture of the j mountains, which looks just fine. He has promised to paint one for me as a present That will make a fine souvenir, won’t it? I will enclose aj post card picture of one of the places I visited. We were lodged in fine hotels, and our expenses paid by Uncle Sam. Say, maybe you think a real, soft bed, with nice white pillows and sheets did not feel good. It was the best week I ever spent in the army. The Y. M. C. A. has leased the en- , tire first floor of a $2,000,000 hotel and , i have it equipped as a club house, it ; is a fine place and we were treated I like kings. Upon our return to the 1 regiment we were greeted with the ‘ nows that we were soon to move. We ( go Tuesday to Wroffe, a little town ( ’ scuth of Tool about 25 miles from , | here. This division is to go up into t Germany befcre long in the Army of i | Occupation, but we are told that by ' ;that time all those who were drafted 1 c I or enlisted for the period of the war I will be out and homeward bound. I, I wcuid really like to see Germany, but ’ I I am also anxious to go home and get • (back to work. i: I Wen, this will do for the present.!: 1 Hope all of you are well. Answer ■ 'nan tv.

ALIENS QUIT COUNTRY Are Leaving for Europe at Rate of 1,000 a Day. Custom Officials Fear Exodus Will Result in Great Labor Shortage. New York. —Enriched by war work, aliens are leaving this country at the rate of more than 1,000 a day, It was learned here from custom officials, who expressed fear that, with the possibility that congress may limit immigration for the next four years, the United States will face a serious labor shortage, instead of a condition of unemployment. I Since the signing of the armistice, it was said, Italians, Greeks, Spaniards and Portuguese have been pouring out of the United Staes through this port. Since November 76,221 passports have been vised at the custom house, and since December, 33,600 aliens hnve sailed. Every ship clearing for Mediterranean ports has sailed with a full steerage, so that rates have jumped from S4O to SBO. Custom officials estimate that an enormous sum has been taken out of the country since the exodus began. Each alien, it is said, carries with him from SI,OOO to $7,000 to enable him to live in his native land in greater ease than he ever enjoyed before. Since April 2, when all outgoing passengers were forced to pay their income taxes before leaving, more than $65,000 has been collected. 1 Byron R. Newton, collector of the port, who has been asked by members of the United States senate and house immigration committee to reduce the exodus to statistics, said today more than 00 per cent of the aliens are Italians, and that “something ought to be done to check the outflow.” TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS Canteen Workers Don’t Know What to Do When Officers Slip Them Quarters. New York. —Young women of rich families who serve the officers’ canteen at the Pershing club of the war camp community service, Forty-fourth street and Madison avenue, are perplexed as to what to do with the tips sometimes left by officers. I How to act when an ensign or lieutenant hands one a quarter is a puzzle that has put wrinkles on the brows of several of the junior league members who wait on the tables. They do not wish to humiliate an oificer by refus- | ing his well meant gift, but of course •it is impossible to accept it. Many of the young women have fathers who could buy at least one battleship apiece. The trouble reached its climax recently. An embarrassed ensign left the canteen after presenting two thin ' dimes to the daughter of a steel king. Puzzled at her manner, he sought information from the woman in charge. I “I tipped that swell looking waitress 20 cents and she seemed put out,” said he. “She got all flushed Wasn’t it enough ?” “Not enough to buy her poor dog a hone,” was the answer. “She drives ' her own car and has an income about ' equal to the president’s pay. She’s a i volunteer worker.” I Light dawned on the boyish naval man and he streaked for the door muttering something about never tipping another waitress. | WANT SOLDIERS TO PAY BACK War Bureau Not Relieved From Pressing Claims on Overpayments. Washington,—The war risk insurance bureau is not relieved from seeking reimbursement in cases of overpayment of allotments to soldiers, sailors nnd their dependents, the bureau announced. In a statement the bureau says that under a recent interpretation of the act of congress approved last February 25 and known as the Treadway act, it must continue to demand reimbursement In cases of overpayment by duplicate check, payments continued beyond the date of a man's discharge from service, death, desertion or overpayments due to change of status of the allottee. All such cases, it is stated, do not come within the provisions of the Treadway act. trfrtrirtrtrtrtrttirCrirtrttirtrtttttttrti •» Less Than 4,000 Yanks | Lost Arms or Legs. | Washington, D.
