The Toka' Camp, of the Camp

stamps, which has added much to
the ability of the government to
push the war to a successful termi

ladies- like the people of Iowa have
caught the spirit, and have seen a
vision of the need, that have im

losses of her brave sons, and like
heroic state she is. has, after pay

he rtreasure as willingly, to save
the boys of other states. Among

Can Now Eat and Sleep in Comfort.
If troubled with indigestion or
sleeplessness you should read what
Miss Agnes Turner, Chicago, 111.,
has to say: "Overwork, irregular
meals and carelessness regarding
the ordinary rules of health, grad
ually undermined it until last fall I
became a wreck of my former self.
I suffered from continual headache,
was unable to digest my food, which
eemed to lay as a dead weight on
my stomach. I was very constipated
and my complexion became dark,
yellow and muddy as I felt. Sleep
lessness was added to my misery, and
I would awake as tired when I went
to sleep. I heard of Chamberlain's
Tablets and found such relief after
taking them that I kept up the treat
ment 'for nearly two months. They
cleansed my stomacn, invigorated
my system, and since that time I
can eat and sleep in comfort. I am
today entirely well."
