Advised. Saved by Lydia E.

This woman now raises chickens and

Richmond, Ind. "For two years I
was so sick and weak with troubles
from my ago that
wnen going up
stairs I had to go
very Blowly with
my hands on tho
Bteps, then sit down
at tho top to rest
Tho doctor said ho
thought I should
havo an operation,
and my friends
thought I would not
live to movo into
our new house. My
daughter asked mc
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as she had taken it with good
results. I did bo. my weakness dis
appeared, I gained in strength, moved
into our new home, did ail kinds of
garden work, shoveled dirt, did build
ing and cement work, and raised hun
dreds of chickens and duck3. I can
not Bay enough in praise of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
if these facts are useful you may pub
lish them for the benefit of other
women." Mrs. M. 0. Johnston, Route

Sugar for the Babies.
As a sidelight upon the economic
suffering caused by the sugar order In
the old country, many babies, say the
medical ofllcer of health at Luton, Bed
fordshire, were suffering from the lack
of that fattening Ingredient. The In
ability of the mothers In poor circum
stances to make purchases of a char
acter to procure n ten-pound parcel of
sugar has suggested to the ofllcer re
ferred to that the council should pur
chase large quantities of sugar and
sell them to such mothers through
baby clinics. The suggestion has been
put Into effect and proved the solution
of a problem that was assuming seri
ous proportions.
Women "Man" Mall Vans.
Set on hundred horses belonging to
the royal mail vans of Great Britain
are "manned" and run entirely by
women, under the guidance of a skill
ful veterinary surgeon. Tho sick
horses are groomed and cared for by
uniformed women, who wear ordinary
breeches nnd knee-long conts of dark
blue ilnen. The drivers of tho mall
carts wear very smart uniforms of
dark blue serge, edged with red and
having brass buttons with the royal
cipher. Their dark blue peaked caps
have also a line of red nnd a badge
showing that they are on his majesty's
service.

"There's a Reason"
AMERICANS TRAIN
FOR CONVOY WORK

Paris. Fifteen Amcrlcnns hnve ex
changed the strenuous life of tho am
bulance field service (which had In
tervals in its strenuoslty) to study to
become ofllcers In the French army
transportation service at a school
where the course seems to leave no
opening for tho proverbial Under of
employment for Idle hands.
This shcool wns established In
Meaux toward the end of last March,
and had 150 French pupils, ofllcers and
noncommissioned ofllcers In training
when tho American contingent Joined
a week ago. The course Is exactly
the samo for French nnd Americans,
but the Americans are kept In n spe
cial class for tho sake of those that
need English-speaking Instructors.
At 5:30 In the morning everyone Is
up and must be dressed, hnve made
his bed nnd had breakfast in time to
answer his name at roll call at 0:25.
As regards breakfast, the American
stomach found that It could not do a
morning's hnrd work on the regulation
French breakfast of coffee and bread,
so eggs and bacon have been added.
From 0:30 to 7:30 theory Is studied,
nnd from 7:30 to 0:30 lectures on au
tomobile technique are given, followed
by practical work" In the workshop,
such ns soldering metals, tempering
steel nnd nil sorts of forge work.
Busy Session In Afternoon.
Luncheon nt eleven Is taken In tho
mess shed, nnd Is, like dinner Inter, an
excellent example of that proficiency
In cuisine for which France Is unri
valed. At first tho 15 Americans sat
together, but on the second day their
French comrades gnve n dinner In
their honor, and after that tho Ameri
cans (who still wenr their field section
uniforms) divided up among the other
tables.
From 12:45 to 5:30 p. m. on three
afternoons n week, work is done on the
bodies of camions (military trucks) ;
they are dissected and put together
again, etc. On the other three after
noons the convoi (train) of camions,
generally eight, arc taken out as if
they were on actual service. Each mnn
In turn Is named head of the section
(nnd Is In general charge for the day).
Orders are given him to tnke a hypo
thetical load of munitions to soise
point some miles away, and he has to
conduct his train by the map, set tho
pace, keep them together, nnd show
them how to overcome difficulties that
arise. These difficulties are at present
chiefly Imaginary, but hypothetical
cases of broken nxles, of towing enrs,
etc., are treated. '
The lieutenant attached to the Amer
ican group, Lieutenant de Kersauson,
whose long residence In California has
given him a perfect mastery of the
American language, accompnnles the
train, but glvos no ndvlce, only ob
serves. If the officer of the day mis
takes his route, he has to And out his
error nnd rectify It himself. After
the return nt 5 :45, the lieutenant gives
a half-hour criticism of the convol's
work nnd points out mistakes made
and how to avoid them.
Evening Spent In Study.
Dinner is nt 0:30, and more study
follows till 10 p. in., when all lights
are put out. Such a program, with
plenty of mnnunl work In tho open air,
provides enough exercise, but regulnr

EATS GOLD FISH IN POND
Ma-ha-ruc-su-on, an Indian maid
Blxteenayears of nge, heard the call of
tho wild and ran away. One morning
a keeper' In a Los Angeles park found
jthe girl bending over tho fish pond.
Beside her on tho bank was n gold fish
struggling with Its last gasp. Mn-lm-ruc-su-on
had caught It with her hand.
"Why catch the gold fish?" nsked tho
keeper. "Ma-ha-ruc-su-on eat una,"
said the girl as she picked up tho fish
and ran uway.
week under two veteran quartcrmns
tors, who see that the hour allotted is
well employed.
Sunday Is n day of rest, or would
be, only that many In fact, nil find
it necessary to catch up the week's
work, read up notes, mnko or finish
diagrams and such things, which they
have had only tho time to do hur
riedly during the week.
Tho course Is really an "Intensive
course," somewhat forced, as It Is
hoped that nfter three weeks' study
the Amcrlcnns will bo prepared for ex
aminations which will allow them to
bo made suhlletitennnta in tho trans
port service nnd be put in chnrgo of n
section of 50 men. Five weeks Is tho
time allowed their French comrades
for the samo work.
Everyone knows what automobile
transportation menns In modern war
fare, nnd Its importance has been plain
to the lenst military mind ever since
it saved Verdun. A section of 50 Amer
icans is nirendy nt work nt the front
conducting camions moving ammuni
tion from railhead to the ammunition
stations, nnd the new school at Menux
will provide Americans to officer theso
sections and the new ones that will
follow If Pratt Andrew, Inspector gen
eral of the "American field service In
France," Is Justified In his hope of see
ing n hundred men nrrlve each week
from tho States for this service.
American Flag on the Gate.
The officers in chnrge of the auto
mobile Instruction center nt Meaux
(there arc other schools for drivers,
mechanics, etc.), from Colonel Borsch
nek down, arc nil keenly Interested In
tho coming of the Americans, and the
colonel spoke highly of the serious way
they had settled down to work. The
gnto Into tho camp of 10 barrack
sheds has an American flag on one
post and a French one on the other.
When the New York Sun's corre
spondent visited the school recently,
the convoy wns sent to the village of
Crecy, where nil the trucks were to
be parked In the market place (drawn
up side by side, close together, nt nn
angle to the inuln rond so that they
could be started off again without de
lay). Tho little village seemed sad
and deserted as the convoy arrived,
as do most French vlllnges theso dnys,
with nothing but aged men, women
and children at home. But it woke up
as the trucks lumbered In nnd took
up their nppointed places.

who appeared at her shop door.

Copenhagen. Private advices from
Germony tell of growing dissatisfac
tion among the people at largo with
the political results of the ruthless
submarine campaign and tho nbsence
of any Indications that it has brought
the desired peuce near to hand.
During their long campaign for tho
unrestricted use of submarines the ad
vocates of the measure mudc very defi
nite promises of immediate results.
"Two or three months" was tho phrase
used everywhere in street uud nows
paper arguments In regard to the time
it would take to bring England to her
knees, rendy for peace. Even though
the official propaganda since has de
clared the government bound Itself to
no particular time to produce results,
tho prediction that they would be ob
tained in two or three mouths has re
mained In tho minds of the people.
Grumblings are now heard that, al
though four months have passed, Eng
lnnd bhows no signs of weakening, but,
on the contrary, seems determined to
prosecute tho war more bitterly thau
ever.
Reports of France Discredited.
Statements that Franco has been
"bled white" nnd will be forced to re
tire from the war have been made so
often that they no longer attract the
slightest credence. Tho entry of the
United States and Brazil Into tho war
nnd the rupture of relations between
Germany and tho bulk of tho neutral
world outside Europe nre now taken
seriously and regarded with gloom.
Questions havo been recently nsked
the correspondent by Germans here,
not In official positions, who are dis
gruntled over tho results of tho sub
marine campaign up to tho present
time, with regnrd to what would bo
tho effect In tho United States If tho
submarine warfare wero abandoned.
The government, however, shows no
signs of weakening and is now en
gaged In a vigorous publicity cam
paign to bolster up the wnnlng confi
dence nt homo and quiet the com
plaints of neutrals.
It Is a mutter of knowledge to the
correspondent that at least ono mem
ber of the German government re
fused to commit himself to any deflnlto
When she heard that they were
Americans, then eho beamed with con
tent. It seemed nn earnest of the nld
that was coming, nnd evidently con
vinced tho good woman thnt tho Unit
ed Stntes hnd declared war fa; more
vividly than anything she hnd rend or
heard said.
The military spirit is strong In this
new bnnd of fighters for France. A
salute nnd permission Is nsked from
tho lieutenant to go and buy ciga
rettes at tho shop, 20 yards away, al
though tho camions were nil now
pnrked in an lrrepronchnblo line nnd n
halt wns being taken. At n previous
halt, when tho officer of the day was
deciding which rond he should take,
nnd every driver hnd got down for n
few minutes, grcnt was the discussion
whether n cigarette could be smoked,
the "nntls" holding thnt they were on
duty, when smoking Is bnrred, while
the "pros" ngrecd that a halt was a
break In the service.
Military Etiquette Observed.
The cnptnln of the center, who wns
conducting the New York Sun's Corre
spondent to see tho convoy nt practical
work, passed by tho drivers several
times, and this brought up the question
whether he should be saluted every
time or treated as being on duty with
them, when the first salute nt meeting
would suffice.
But there wns n deeper question thnt
each was eager to discuss. Were they
doing the best they could for their
own country nnd for France? Should
they he whero they were, or ought
they to be in their own country offer
ing It their services directly? They till
had served with the American nmbu
lnnce sections at the front, nnd hnvo
nil succeeded In becoming bends of sec
tions. This experience hns taught
them a useful knowledge of tho French
language. Several havo lived years
In France and know the language thor
oughly. It has tnught them much about
the French nrmy nnd trench warfare,
and given them nirendy a valunblo
training. They wonder whether they
are using this training to the best ad
vantage, or whether they ought to bo
nt home, where nnnles are forming
nnd men with their qualities are being
needed. Meanwhile they nrc working
hard and acquiring further training,
which will nssuredly make them vnlu
nble officers for the first American
troops to take the field in France.

time limit for bringing Great Britain
into a framo of mind to discuss peace.
In the correspondent's last Informal
conversation with Dr. Alfred Zlmmer
mnnn, head of the foreign office, n few
hours before news of the rupture of
relations with tho United States was
received in Berlin, the minister, who
wns on tenterhooks to know what tho
United Stntes would do, declared im
pulsively :
"If the United Stntes will only keep
hands off nnd let us alone, two or
three months will be enough."
Then, noticing the correspondent
prick up his enrs at the foreign offico
use of the stock phrase of the ruth
lessness advocates, ho quickly amend
ed his estimate.
"Say six months," he said, and then
reading a further query in the corre
spondent's eyes, added:
"Well, let us not fix any deflnlto
time."
Doctor Zlramermnnn then went on
with tho argument thnt England nnd
the entente quickly would bo made
amenable to tho peace Idea if tho
United States would only refrain from
breaking relations or declaring war in
consequence of tho proclamation of
the unrestricted submarine campaign.
