SAYS DEFENSE BOARD
Vice Chairman Coupland Gives
Statement Urging County
Councils to Assist by Every
Possible Means.
(From Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, June 23. (Special.) At
the headquarters of the Nebraska
State Council of Defense unusual ef
fort is being made to focus attention
of the public upon the proclamation
of President Wilson designating re
cruiting week of the regular army
and calling for 70,000 volunteers.
The National Council of Defense is
urging the state council to devote all
passible time to this work and to as
sist in newspaper publicity.
.Vice Chairman George Coupland
has .issued the following statement:
"Let us earnestly hope that Ne
braska will not be weighed and found
wanting in this great work. The daily
press and the weekly newspapers are
earnestly requested to give the widest
publicity to the president's proclama
tion ana tne recruiting program. It is
urged that every weekly newspaper
in Nebraska may find room for the
president's proclamation this week.
'Our information ic thah rmtv ?lfl
000 men have been recruited out of a
futl quota of 300,000, which is a seri
ous falling off in the number of re
. cruits.
"All members of every county coun
cil of defense must sense the signifi.
cance of the situation. Every county
defense council should meet and en
thusiastically set about the speeding
up of recruiting. Automobile parties
should be organized, hand hills should
be distributed and local councils
should put on patriotic war paint and
enthuse our young men with the spirit
of the day.
"It should be remembered that
young men between the ages of 18 and
21 and 31 and 40, inclusive, are eligible
for enlistment in the regular army" as
well as men who registered for mili
tary service. It is not urged that men
of professions or trades should enlist.
It is regarded as extremely important
that the regular army should be re
cruited to its full strength as quickly
as possible."

Miss Emelie A. Haberkorn, 2251
Gravois Ave., St. Ltyiis, Mo., writes:
"For over two years I was troubled
with internal catarrh. I heard of
the Peruna booklet. I read it and
wrote to them, and they answered
my letter promptly. I began taking
treatment as soon as possible.
Tongue cannot express how I suf
fered with my stomach, and I also
was troubled with catarrh of the
head. I didn't feel like myself for
a long time. So I began taking
Peruna. I have taken four bottles,
and now I cannot praisls it enough.
Any one who has chronic catarrh
should write the Peruna Medical De-
Fartment. They will help any one.

done for me, and would not do with
