PLAIN QUESTIONS TO RENSSELAER PEOPLE
Every Rensselaer Reader Will Admit the Soundness of the Logic. Would Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble, backaches and headaches for a long time. I had no strength or ambition and couldn’t sleep well, I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameness in my back. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills and they cured me of all these ailments. I have never had an attack since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907). On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore idded: “We are never without Doan’s in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Moore has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Purdue Ambulance Corps Unit In Europe
Lafayette, January 30.—Lafayette’s- representation on the battlefields of France has been increased considerably as a result of the arrival overseas of Major Metcalfe’s command of ambulance corps units. Cablegrams received here last night from the government announced the arrival of the ambulance men in Europe. It is not known whether the men landed in France or Italy, but that they will be put into service soon is certain. One of the units of Major Metcalfe’s expedition was Purdue unit No. 798, the other Purdue unit No. 559, still being in camp at Allentown, Pa. It was known that unit No. 798. was preparing *to sail three weeks ago, but nobody knew that the transport had departed. Unit No. 798 is made up entirely of Lafayette and Purdue young men. James ,W. Wilson, of Rossville,is first sergeant, and Herman Schmitz, Jr., of the, Soldiers’ home here, is also a sergeant in the corps. The unit left Lafayette June 23 for Allentown.
No New Draft Now Says Secretary Baker.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 30.—Two million men in France some time — unless the war ends before, they get there —is President Wilson’s maximum war program. A further call of selective troops has been indefinitely postponed, pending developments that are expected to indicate whether it will be necessary or possible to send to France more men than are already in the service at home and abroad. In other words, there will be no call, at least for a time, upon the men in class 1 of the new registration. The only men now liable to immediate call are the remnant of the first draft of 687,000 men who have not yet been summoned to camp because of the lack of clothing and equipment. These number approximately 140,000. These men will be called to the camps some time after Feb. 15. The secretary stated, that. he did not know when the summons would go forth. These general facts were made Wednesday by Secretary of War Baker in discussing his failure to present to the senate committee yesterday a definite outline of the administration’s military program. The secretary said the question of the number of men to be called to the colors and sent abroad will be determined mainly by two considerations : Developments in the military situation abroad. Available tonnage- to transport troops and maintain them. Mr. Baker told the senate committee on military affairs that thle United States will have 500,000 men in France “early in 1918,” and that there are 1,500,000 man in the training camps ready to go as soon as ships are available.
