Barker Bids Godspeed to the Graduates of Train ing School. The whole-souled co-operation be tween tho seven great organizatlon.s working for the hai)i)iness and welfare of our soldiers and sailors was re cently illustrated at the graduation exercises of the tenth class of the Jewish Welfare Board’s Training School in New York. Col. W'illiam S. Barker, who wont to France represent ing tho Salvuti<»n Army with the first contingent of our troops and has been “over there” fifteen months, was the principal speaker and wished the fifty- eight Jewish workers of the class God speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi nent Jewish attorney and philanthro pist of New York, lauded the work of tl;e Salvation Army among the boys at the front. “What our fighting boys need Is In- .spiration and heart and character in those who are there to help them,” declared Col. r.ark(>r. “You will rep resent in the camps and overseas the ideals and standards of the Jewish faith, and it is uj» to you above all tilings to be consistent in your re ligious luactices. Practice what you preach. That, I am sure, has been the secret of our own success. If you live up to the principles of your faith and give what you have to give from a heart big with love, the boys will re spect you, whether they be Protestant, Catholic or Jew.” The newly graduated field workers will make a total of 2G0 men doing field work in our camps and naval training stations under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board. The Board has about fifty “huts” la the various camps and nmintains centers In all large cities where soldiers and sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A headquarters has recently been estab lished in Paris, and 100 men are being recruited here for overseas work. There are tiow’ nearly 12r»,000 Jews serving in the army and navy. RESULTS TELL There Can Be No Doubt About The Results in Brevard. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Brevard citizen can easily be investigat ed. What better proof can be had? Mrs. C. D. Davis, Main St., Brevard, says “I had a bad case of kidney trouble some time ago. My back was weak and when I would bend over sharp pains shot through me. often got dizzy and black specks before my eyes. Mornings I was lame and sore and didn’t feel like doing much. I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they made me feel much better. Continued use entirely rid me of this trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Davis had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mf., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.
