WAR NURSES IN ENGLAND GAY, BUT WORK IS NO SINECURE (Continued From Page 4.) should it refuse admission to a soldier or a sailor. I hope I shall always be haunted by pleasant memories of my patients. I hall never forget the extraordinary rush of getting breakfast every morn ing there at the infirmary. As I said to my right-hand man, the big soldier, it was just like running a busy cafe, all but the tips. Trying to cater for four wards at once is something like performing in every ring in a. four ring circus. The three women's wards, of course, being taboo to the big soldier. The civilian patients had eggs of their own, each egg had its owner's name on it and it surely needed a li brarian to catalogue those eggs. Be tween us we matched the eggs to the lists of names and boiled each ward's separately, for fear of mixing tbem again. The plates of thin bread and butter were cut and prepared earlier, and the thinner jou cut it the better they liked it, and ta e more they ate. I cut it so thin that! a slice of it would flutter down your throat like the petal of a rose. Thin because my knife was so beautifully sharpened ready for me every nighi t by one, peradventure, more accustomed to sharpening bayonets ready to plunge into Germans. E gBn Meet Mishaps. Anyway In? was a dab hand at sharp ening my bread and butter knife. Some times we dropped an egg on its way to the pan ?I boiling water and then all the King' nurses and all the King's 1 A-motner who is overworked, tired nervous Irritable on the verge of hysteria makes an unhappy home. The yery thing she doesnot want to do. Such a condition" often develops aserious derangement of the feminine organs, causing irritability, despondency, sleepless nights and nervous prostration. At such times remember there is a tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pisikiiaiss's Vegetable Compound For forty years this famous Vegetable Medicine has been conquering the ills of women ancj the very best proot 01 this is such letters as these: Northport, N.Y. "I Buffered from a female trouble And doctored for a time, using all kinds of treatments. The doctor said I would have nervous prostration. I was bo nervous and had such bearing down feelings and headaches, and my housework kept me on my feet so much that I had to do something, and I was persuaded against my will to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I found the first bottle helped me and I continued its use so I am able to ao ail my work. A year ago I was miserable. I again bought Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, taking it regularly, end I now consider myself a well woman. I have told lots of women about it. Some would rather pay a doctor, but some have tried it and found it helped them as I said it would. "-Mrs. John ALEXANDER,Northport,N.Y. Denison, Texas. "After my little girl was born two years ago I began suffering with female trouble and could hardly do my work. I was very nervous but just kept dragging on until last summer when I got where I could not do my work. I would have a chill every day and hot flashes and dizzy spells and my head would al most burst. I got where I was almost a walking skel eton and life was a burden to me until one day my hus band's step-sister told my husbandif he did not do some thing forme I would not last long and told him to get your medicine. So he got Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound for me, and after taking the first three doses I began to improve. I continued its use, and have never haoT any female trouble since." Mrs. G. O. Lowery, 419 W. Monterey Street, Denison, Texas. Bridgeton, N.J. "I cannot speak too highly of Lydia: EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for inflammation and other weaknesses. I was very irregular and would have terrible pains so that I could hardly take a step. Sometimes I would be so miserable that I could nob sweep a room. I doctored part of the time but felt no change. I later took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and lelt a change for the better after the second day. I took it until I was in a good healthy con dition. I recommend the Pinkham remedies to all wo men as I have used them with good results." Mrs. Milford T. Cum MINGS, 24 New St, Bridgeton, NJ. or many years iyaia ml., rinjtnam's vegretaDio tompouna lias been the standard remedy for female ills. No one sick" with woman's ailments does justice to herself if she does not try tins famous medicine made from roots and Jierbs. it has restored so many suf fering women to health. Lydia K. l'inkliam Medlcine Co., Lynii, Mass. "'ulcu " J men couldn't pick Humpty-Dumpty up again. I always recovered from the shock in time to blame the Big Soldier and he was too polite to blame me for the accident. (One gets snappy and bad-tempered, I find, on night duty). It was quite a load oft our minds when the last scalding-hot teapot of tea was carried into its rightful ward. Then the Big Soldier boiled the eggs, fried the bacon or cooked the fish for the soldiers' ward. All this time he might have been comfortably tucked In his cosy bed instead of helping me. It is rather bewildering to try and do so many things at once. One night I was cooking the night nurses' mid night repast, which consisted of bacon and eggs. Just as the bacon began frizzling nicely a voice called fran tically from one of the wards, "Nurse, nurse, come quick!" "Of course I rushed there regard less of my cooking, to find when I got back five nigger-black coals of burnt bacon in the pan. "We only got eggs for dinner that night! The barrage of smoke and the smell of burning, though, were enough to have brought oatthe Are department. The other nurses philosophically said they were used to that sort of thing. Portland people will, I am sure, be sorry to hear that one of the boys they sent parcels to is "missing"; that means either dead or a prisoner. It is the boy who was so fond . of "Christmas pudding.- The sergeant gunner has promised to accept a commission if he is again offered one. He says'I prom. ise to take a shot at it." As he is so valuable a gunner he will surely score a "bull's eye." I have told him so. My sailor boys write in excellent spirits, no "grousing" to me. I am about to send off a packet of cigarettes to one of them from a Belgian girl in Oregon and a few more books.- He is the A. B. who likes Jack London so much. He writes this time: "There is no doubt that Jack London lives through his books before he puts them down in fiction style." True praise from a sailor. He will be grieved when I tell him that Jack London is dead. I am sorry, too. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. . From Chicago News. Being busy is one of the synonyms of being happy. - .
