SO I TOLD JOE, WELL NEVER WIN
THIS WAR FEELING TNAT WAV "
•"It burns me up! To hear some people
talk, you'd think this war is something 'not
for us*.
"Take Joe, for instance. 'Course, his boy
Clem's too young for the service, and he
doesn't have any kinfolks to keep him posted
on what our boys are doing 'over there'. But
when he told me he couldn't see what we, at
home, could do toward winning the war, I
told him exactly how I felt.
"I told him that if very many people
thought as he did, this war could last months
longer, and more of our boys would be killed
... that we might even lose this tear, and with
defeat would go all the freedoms we love so
dearly.
"Well, that seemed to start him tliinlc-
ing ... so I told him a few of the ways he
could help . . . how his investing in even a
$25 War Bond would help some American
soldier get the equipment he needs . . . how
the old iron and scrap metal around bis place
would make a couple of machine guns. . . and
how important it is to save grease and fats,
and grow his own garden so more canned
goods can be sent to our armies. 'We've gotta
make sacrifices . . . sacrifice until it hurts,' I
said, 'if we back up those men at the front
who are giving up their lives for us.' Well,
maybe I blew off a little steam, but that's the
way I feel. And now, I'm sure Joe agrees
with me."

Backache
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with Its hurry and worry,
Irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec-
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess ad
and other Impurities from tne hfe-giv J
blood. ~
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, aixziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some-
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan'i Pillt. Doan't help the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom-
mended by grateful users everywhere.
