They heard their country calling
And we would not bid ihetn stay.
So we shook their hands at parting
And sped them on their way.
They have gone to fight the battles
Of the nations sore oppressed:
Gone to aid the weak and helpless
In this war of frightf ulness.
We cannot help but miss them.
But In our hearts we know
That we are proud to send them.
And proud that they could go.
Their places may be taken
In the offices and plants,
But naught can dull the inem'ry
Of our Alliance boys In France.

My husband enlisted as a single
man and I am dependent upon him
for support. Is there any way that
I may obtain same without causing
him any trouble?
Mrs. R. T .S., Box Butte Co., Neb.
Ans. If your husband enlisted as a
single man and he was married at
the time of his enlistment he is guilty
of fraudulent enlistment, but as it
happens to be in time of war the gov
ernment would not prosecute him. As
you are entitled to the government al
lowance under the act of October 6,
1917, I would advise you. if your hus
band enlisted at the recruiting sta
tion, Alliance, Nebraska, to take it up
with the recruiting officer in charge
and I am sure that he could and
would get t'"e allowance that you are
entitled to.

My son enlisted in the army. He is
a married man and named his wife
as his beneficiary, even though they
were not living together at the time
of his enlistment. Can I contest his
will and claim part of his insurance
if he is killed or dies while in the
service.
Mrs. C. J., Rushville, Nebr.
Ans. The government war risk in
surance can not be attached, alien
ed, or otherwise taken by creditors.
In other words the person or persons
named as benefieiars ar the only
ones entitled to the insurance under
an act of October 6, 1917, and the In
surance policy can not be contested
in any court.

I am an auto expert and not regis
tered under the selective service laws,

ed in. One is the quartermaster de
partment. The other is the ordnance
department. To enter the quarter
master department you can make ap
plication at the recruiting station, U.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proofed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneya
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
neya is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they strain from it 600 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
tiie vital importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of J ad Salts ; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapea and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri
tit ion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
litliia-water drink which evervone should
take now and then to keep" their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, aud no
doubt you will wonder what becaius
vouv kidaajr trouble and backache.
