END OF COLUMN 2 PAGE C COLUMN 3 FROM BUTLER BOY IN FRANCE Right spirit shown by this American boy's letter. With American Expeditionary forces in France, MR.. W. M. COHRON and family : I received your letters today and sure was glad to get them as I had not heard from you in quite a while only that registered letter. I was surprised to hear of it being so awful cold and so much snow. We have had some cold weather and snow but nothing to compare with that. All of the snow is gone now and we are having some very warm weather now. But it is like it is at home the weather very changeable but cloudy most of the time. I am well and feeling fine. Have not been sick since I came over only bad colds.. I have a good warm place to sleep and plenty of good blankets and the best of all a big fat red headed Irishman to sleep with and we have plenty to eat and plenty of work too at least we think so. You spoke of that sweater, don't send it as it would not be cold enough to wear one by the time it could get here. And you may think I am not writing very long letters but for military reason we can not write and tell anything, you know yourself that would not do. But you can write as much as you want. I wish you could see the soldiers when they have some mail or a package from home. They look like Xmas morning with lots of new toys, Write as often as you can, I remain as ever with love to all, EMARY C. COHRON.

I began improving and it cured me, I know and my doctor knows what Cardul did for me, for my nerves and health were about gone. TAKE CARDUL'S TONIC she writes I am in splendid health and can do my work, I feel I owe it to Cardul for I was in dreadful condition, If you are a nervous or weak or suffer from headache, backache etc. every month, try Cardul. Thousands of women praise this medicine for the good it has done, many physicians who have used Cardul successfully with their women patients for years, endorse this medicine, think what it means to be in splendid health like MRS. SPELL. Give Cardul a trial, All druggists. END OF COLUMN 3 PAGE C, COLUMN 4 R. C. BELCHER, Morgantown, KY. Water wells a farmers specialty Deep wells mean pure water, Shallow wells receive sewage from the surface and contains diseased germs. Where there is an epidemic the health department on investigating the water supply invariably finds the trouble. The ordinary open well miss one only deep enough to furnish a water supply, and no thought is given to its source or purity, wholesome water filtered and free from germs down deep in the earth in nearly all parts of the world. These great beds can be made readily accessible by tapping them with drilled holes and easing to bed rock, so exclude possible pollution from surface leaching. When one considers the improvement which has been made in well drilling machinery during the last half century. It is inexcusable for any man to longer shirk his duty to his family and himself by not obtaining the pure water supply nature has so wisely provided. A calf, hog, bushels of grain or 100 pounds of tobacco will go further on a well now more than ever before. Time spent in carrying and hauling water is absolutely lost, have your well dug before the next drought.

No more calomel for this barber, Nashville tonsorial artist say he has found better way to get relief than by taking calomel takes Vin hepatica. If a fellow was ever knocked out by anything I was by a good old fashioned spell of spring fever this spring said IKE L. BEARDIN well known Nashville barber, 243 Fourth Avenue North, but thanks to MR. C. SPENCER the paint contractor 61 Commerce ST for stating it in papers how he got wonderful quick relief by taking that good medicine Vin hepatica. I have been using calomel when I was so sickening that I could scarcely stand it, not only did Vin hepatica put me in fine shape again but was so pleasant to take, I hadn't taken more than two or three and to my dismay feeling was all gone and was feeling fine, I am myself again. The fact is Vin hepatica is natures own medicine for stomach, liver or kidney troubles. It is made from fresh of the greatest medicinal roots and herbs known to medical science combined into one medicine known as Vin hepatica, the universal purifier and tonic. We strongly recommend this nature remedy, try it on our recommendation its a real medicine for real men, W. T. KITTINGER, Morgantown. D. K. HINES, Woodbury. 3 END OF COLUMN 7 END OF PAGE
