A truthful statement of an Ash land citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doar.'s Kidney Pills. If yon suffer from backache, rervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medlclue. An Ashland citizen tells of Doan's Kidney Pillj. Could you demand mora convinc ing proof of merit? Allen Davis, 13" First St.. says: "Sometime ago I had a bad attack of kidney and bladder trouMe. It came on so suddenly, I thought I was done for. My back ached and the kidney secretions were ao painful In passage I could hardly stand the misery. I finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills and they proved a godsend to me. They corrected the trouble and restored mo to my usual good health." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Davis had.

M. Wag ner, of Oak street, giving some In teresting history of soldier life at an eastern camp: Fort Monroo, Va., July 20, '18 Dear Mother and All: I think 1 l'nvo just about enough energy Icf. til's evening to write "you-all" a let ter, but believe me, I will have sweat many a drop before It Is finished. The evening's study period Is the worst part of the while day, for there Is little cooling of the tempera ture until late' In the evening, and) these section study rooms are like I ako ovens.. A study period until ?:15 Is a pa:t of tho daily schedule, I. ut I have been seldom able to get ;R I wanted done until about 10: Af ter that I don't care whether I tdudy er not, for I am ready, to call It a day's work and retire to my bunk. Wy location on the porch Is certain ly great and It Is always tool enough' to sleep fine. How I hate to h;ar ti e bugler play "first call" at 5:45! An alarm clock Is bad enough, but ;ou can shut that off. No way to jtct nt a bugler. That's lils Job nnJ I really believe ho enjoys It. k Everyone seems to be glad that it ii: rear the end of the week, for it has been a very hard week, and I for one am about "faggd out. Tho prosrem Is really no harder than ethers I have succeeded In getting i.way with, but the weather Is any thing but Invigorating and It secnn ac though no matter how f'iro you fed in the morning, before plght you will be completely willed down. Tho tiieniomettr does not stand jery high, but the humidity keeps jou In constant persipihlon, with that sticky and wilted feeling that yoca with it. No doubt I will get i.sed to it, but this has been our fii'st nad week and it has been anything but pleasant. The heat was about as 'noticeable In the "parts of Cali fornia I was In last summer, but tiicre it was different and we could U'tss as we pleased and look all mussed up If wa wanted to. Her? that will be counted against one, and it behooves everyone to wear only he regulation outfit at all times and keep them looking .shipshape Our company Is the "only one that has not been Issued light cotton shirts, but we are still wearing heavy wool ones which were Intend ed for Fort Scott weather. It seems as though there have leen seme changes in this training camp, In that our r.rades nro pub lished. The list that emie out th Hist cf tho week gave me an aver age of 94, which was "not the best yet It came within the first 13 of tho companyand ranks well up with the camp, average of SO. I don't think my average has changed much thli week, but I will not bo satisfied untf.l it Is higher. These, grades are based on daily "writs," as they cull them, and finals which are'given whenever a course is completed. Sea coast guns was completed last week and seascoast mortars will be com pleted Monday. Orientation, one of the principal studies of the whole pchool, which Includes everything concerning surveying, topography and cartography connected with tho operation of the heavy artillery, will not be Included for a couple of week. Fojlowjng these will be howitzers, mechanical maneuvers, gas, gunnery, administration, court martial, etc. I am fully confident now that I, can make the scholastic part of it all rli'.ht, but it dees not necessarily fol low even then that one will get a commission. Everything Imaginable Is conuidored and somebody Is al ways watching you for a disqualify ing characteristic. About .20 men trom the company have been asked n reslsn and are ,now on fho road home. I understand there is to be another elimination the first of the week. Tomorrow Is to be a general field day and athletic meet. In tho morn ng Is to be a fields meet between (he seven companies and In the af ternoon there Ja to be a base ball name between the first and second battalions. There is ona event on the track schedule, very much to my liking, all short races, but 1 1 have been picked as ono of the entrant; ff.r the obstacle rifce if I am not d4s qi'alified tomorrow for being too large to get through the barrel, etc. I am going to make a try at It. The two low companies are to put up ice treani lo tho other companies. I am getting powerful' sleepy, and if I don't go home right soon anc. get some Bleep I won't he aide to" Pe"i my way through those barrels, etc., tomorrow. With love lo all. CARROLL. theUet , Fort Monroe, Va., Aug. 2 '18 Dear Mother and All: 1 don't feel a bit like studying this evening and although it Is still about half an i.our from the end of the evening study period, I am going to take a chance on not getting caught writ ing letters. LbhI week I studied late every evening, and at the end of the week was thoroughly all In and spent nearly all day Sunday Just resting. This week tho weather has been cool er aulr I have made It a point to iiuit studying early and go to bed. This gelling up at 5:45 every day of the week and the doublo time all day, requires about all the sleep you can wedge In, and I Intend to get U even though I neglect a rare oppor I unity to cram a few more fact's and, figures Into my head. I do not think r.ny of the subjects we have covered ire hard, In fact, very mechanical and easy to some 1 have attempted, but Instruction is so boiled down and hystematled that it keeps you on th nleait every minute for fei'.r you will full to get some minor detail f nd regret it too late during the ex urns. You are Instructed on some tu-bjoct or piece of material Just once and may be hold for a written examination on It the n'?xt. If you havo nut thoroughly understood and grasped very word as It was i;uid, you will be out of luck the next day. The whxl camp reminds me of final exam week at college, but with strict discipline :.iiperimpo:-eil. ()ii"iilatlon Is the only subject which Is requir ing' any previous knowledge- of maih ( niatlts, l ie., and in fact tills Is caus ing the ib)A!ifall of finite a number 1 know of. Mortar crad '9 were published the ot'.ier day and I va elated to limi ;.iy avenge as Hi, !!.". being the high murk, iiowi ver. the general aver age was liinh, und a grade much be low 90 was belo the average. i used to think a tirad.' of S3 wa.s a''Ove tlie average, but here every l.udy Is doing their level best, con f.eeuently the average Is raised and it requires that niuli niore eTfor. lo keep above the average. II was Just announced that our s-ction pass ed six Kim exams with an average of 91. C. I do not know what my grade was. but you can see there is stiff c:)i!i;ultlon and It is a test to keen above the average. I thin' riy grand average to date Is you: 95, and I am not worrying about fcettlns by the academic part, of course, but that Is not all. It mukes no difference what grade you get, If the company coniinande: ihinks you are not fitted or worthy of a commission you will not get it, but cn the oilier hand., he cannot i;ive you a commission If you do not passing grades. To get his (en dorsement means that you- have got 'e make a favorable impression, and hew you do that Is up to your own ingenuity. It can't be done by being friendly or telling lilm wjiat a de serving mortal you are. One of thi company officers is on hand to ob ferve your actions nearly all the time, for it Is their duty to get tJ l.r.ow you. The manner in which ;-ou handle a company In infantry lirlll Is tb count heavily as well as penenil milltarv bearings. 1 have b.i.ndl?d that part of It satisfactor ily so far. but there are many things about It I do not know and I may l inkq a bad blunder some day. Was fortunate (?) enough today o witness an airplane accident. It was a fortunate accident. In that no me was hurt. We were working on tic beach this morning In mechani cal maneuvers, which Includo every thing In connection with transporta tion and handling of heavy artillery, when a machine came sailing along ,'ust over our heads, evidently In tronMo and looking for a landing place. I think they were maneuver In!', for a landing place on tho beach, J ut about 130 feet from shore tho, machine turned up and did a pretty nose dive Into about b!x feet of water. There were two nvlators in the machine, but they scrambled out on top, and within ,15 minutes one cf the harbor patrol boats was tow ing, or rather dragging, the machine up to the docks. ' The airplanes, ballons, dirigibles, etc., cortalnly are Interesting to vatcli. Saw a convoy of transports iro out the other day. Three larg thlps crowded with soldiers, a cruis er In tiie lead and destroyers and tor pedo boats on either Bide. Within half an hour the whole convoy was out of sight on Its way to France. Every now and then there Is a sub marine seen, and tho coast boats ano i.cld In port, and out go on extra patrol of subchasers. They are Ut ile, narrow, long boats that fairly seem to skim the water. I wish I had time to look. into such things more and find out more about tho cperatlon of the emergency boata, but Just now I have about all I want to do. With love to all, . CARROLL.
