RESULTS TELL

7 here Can Bo No Doubt About the Results in Richmond. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Richmond citiren. Can be easily investigated. What tetter proof can be had? John J. Reber, proprietor shoe shop, 121 S. Fourth St., Richmond, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills put me on my feet when I was in bad shape with kidrey trouble. A spell of typhoid fever left my k.dneys in bad shape. My back pained constantly and every move I made was torture. My kidneys ected unnaturally and the secretions were in bad shape. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me from the first and six boxes cured all signs of kidney trouble, making my back well and strong.

! am never troubled now except when J

I take cold. Then a few doses of Doan's soon rid me of the complaint." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply a3k for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kianey Pills the same that Mr. Rober had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs.. Buffalo, N. Y.

BEEF REGULATIONS LIFTED OVER U. S.

The Food Administration has released from Washington an order lifting the regulations now In force restricting the service of beef in public eating places to one meal a day and in the home to one and one-half pounds of bone beef and one and onefourth pounds of clear beef each week. The food administration points out that all heavy beef is needed for export and requests retail meat markets to handle no cattle which dress over 475 pounds. It further requests public eating places and the public in general to use every effort to create a demand for light weight cuts of beeg. The general policy to the conservation of all meat Is still encouraged as a measure essential to the safeguarding of the future meat supply.

SAYS KENTUGKIANS ARE WELL EDUCATED

Paul G. Druley of the 149th Infantry band at Camp Shelby, Miss, sent the following statement to the Palladium Monday. In. referring to a letter of mine that was recently published in your paper, referring to Kentucky troops as not being well educated, and in referring to a certain per cent of them as unable to read or write, I wish to make the following retraction and also to apologize to anyone of Kentucky birth who may have taken offense. In my opinion Kentucky men are as well educated as those frcm any other state and I wish to say that the men I have met from that state are in my estimation the finest in the world and that they make the best soldiers. FIGHTING PRIVATE Continued From Page OneJ I am quite a ways from the front at present, but don't you know it seems we all want to go where it is a little more exciting. Our boys back from the front in the hospitals are crazy to get back; can hardly hold them till they are fit, especially the ones who have been wounded. They must certainly go temporarily insane when they go over the top. Just to illustrate, our mess sergeant went over, bayoneted seven Germans when a shell got him. Well, we really don't think he will be allowed to go back but he is begging to go back to his company and says

he must get three more oi tnose a

TALK ON LABOR BUREAU.

Dr. Paul Ross will act as temporary chairman of the Four-Minute men during the absence of Dr. J. J. Rae. The talks for this week and next will continue to be concerning the National Labor Bureau, as requests have been made that this situation be discussed for three weeks.

Germans to make his ten, then he will be satisfied. Such is the spirit of everybody doctors, nurses, soldiers and all. U. S. Ahead of Prance. I wish you are over here; you would be prouder every time you look around at the wonderful things our country can do. We are ahead of France one hundred years in most things. Some few things she has us beat a mile. She is teaching us a lesson in permanent construction. When she builds, she builds well. I have seen buildings built in the twelfth century that are in good condition and have

Been bridges that are centuries oldThere is a wall around the city nearly a century old. What they do, they do well. The roads are fine. Their sanitation Is bad; they have no such thing as screen wire. Most of the sewerage runs In the street-gutters. They can not understand our fresh air methods. Their ventilation is bad. Most of the people are catholics. The Hugenots are the only Protestants, generally speaking. There are very few autos on the street, they are up at the front. You can hardly ever hire a taxi, and must walk or take the train, as there are very few street cars. I am getting a little experience and It is worth the sacrifice I have made. I have not been homesick, despite the fact that I have had one letter from home since I sailed, June 8. It is now over five weeks and I haven't seen a paper, or magazine later vthan June 15. This gets my goat worse than anything else. We get plenty of cigars and cigarettes and candy at the quartermaster's We are well fed and have nice quarters in a villa. I met a Richmond man here who has been a good friend, Charles Porter. He is in the United States Mail service. . Dcn't Take Any Prisoners. We feel that a year will quench the

HOW TO GET RID OF FRECKLES AND TAN Freckles are said to be a great deal like spots of rust, lodged in the skin. They can be cleared up, but if the Bkin is subject to them, the same exposure of wind and sun will produce other freckles unless one guards against them. Fortunately, this is now easily done since danthol tetrate came to be better understood. This is 6imple and pleasant to apply, and the way it makes the freckles fade from the skin, is really surprising. It is also a safe and harmless way of removing tan and similar discoloratlons of the skin. Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from any of the better known druggists. The cost is small, and it 13 perfectly pleasant and simple to use. Apply it with the finger tips. The skin seems to absorb It quickly. (Adv.)

German's bloody thirst. Our boys are sure giving them h -1. Walt until about September first and see what happens. Our men are not taking many prisoners; they are killing or stabbing h 1 out of them until they run like skunks, and they have to go some. The throwing up of their hands and yelling "comrade" doesn't go any more. Just giving them a full portion of their own medicine with a few trimmings to make it interesting. Our boys have put a new heart in the French and as they have always beenflghters, they are fighting like fiends

now. The Britisher has Jerked the monocle out of his eye and has been doing some real fighting. The Australian soldier is much like our boys, lots of pep and game fighters. But, Scott, there is no soldier like our good Americans, grand brave fellows they are. .My heart goes out to the boy who carries that gun down in the mud. No officer can take his place in my admiration. God forbid that I shall ever neglect one who comes under my care. I have seen everything nearly in the Injured those able for transportation. It makes your heart bleed for those

boys., I have turned my head more than once with an aching heart and tear filled eyes. Would. I trade my Dlace where in mv humble wav I am

doing my little bit for these boys?

No! not for ten of the best practicea" in Richmond. I hope It will be over soon and that we will come home by spring. But of course we won't come back until "its over, over here." Money isn't the only thing, and I realize I need money for a , rainey day. But I feel now that I certainly did the right thing eo come. I hope in your busy moments you will find time to write to me."
