Food savings of millions of Americans during our first year of war enabled this govern ment to .send enormous food shipments abroad for our fighting forces and the Allied nations.

THREE WAR MEDALS DZSTO'iVEu ONT’HERO Red Triangle Worker Wounded by Hun Machine Gun at Soissons, Toul and Chateau Thierry New York, August 25.—Flat on his back in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, W. lA. Roberta, who has been awarded three French war medals for bravery in the fighting zones, is enjoying a well-earned rest, and is talking freely of almost anything but why the French government showered honors upon him. Mr. Roberts, a Y. M. C. A. worker in France, had bestowed upon him the Croix de Guerre, the badge of the Legion of Honor, and the Medal Mili taire. He won them all in three pionths. Roberts was assistant auditor of the Michij an Central railroad before he was selected to be auditor of disburse ments for the Y. M. C. A. in France, and to handle more than a quarter of a million dollars a day. He left for overseas service February 12, was wounded by a Hun machine gun at SoissoTis, rescued a “Y” secretary amid a hail of bullets in the Toul sector and was touched up by German marks manship again at Chateau Thierry.

M. C. A. to serve in the camps of the Southeast. Dr. V' W. Alexander, general re cruiting secretary for the War Per sonnel Board of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council, declares that there is a pressing need for home service, and that this affords a splendid opportun ity to the man of middle age w r ho is not able to go abroad under the Red Triangle. “The Y. M. C. A. needs men for overseas service, of course, but the home camps must not be forgotten,” explained Dr. Alexander. “From now on until the first of the year the Southeast must recruit 1,000 men for the home camps. This means that each state will be called upon to fur nish 25 men per month per state to serve the soldiers in camps such as Gordon, Jackson, "Wheeler and the others. The constant srewth of the home cantonments and the growing "''•nand for the Y. M. C. A. work makes it necessary to recruit “Y” workers for this s’de.” Good Seed Wheat for sale — *3.00 per bushel.

Coughs that hang oil and grow worse in the night and weaken the sufferer are relieved by Fo ley’s Honey and lar oftener than by any other remedy. R. F. Hall, Mabe, Va., writes: “For fifteen years I was afflicted with a trou blesome bronchial cough and irri tation of the throat. Foley’s Hon ey and Tar relieved me; after taking one bottle the cough ceased and has not returned.” No medicine stands higher as a family remedy for colds for chil dren and grown-ups.” The Mc- Donough Drug Co.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. ' atarrha! Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys tem. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. Ali Druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. O.
