UEGISTRATION OF WAR BONDS IS URGED BY

LOAN OFFICIALS

Important Information on Liberty -. Bonds Given Out by Gov-

"V ' ".'-l- - **

Iraportent informntion concerning the registration of Liberty Loan bonds, fcs given out by the bond department. Of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi­cago contains the following quotation from n letter from the treasury de­partment:

"With reference to accepting sub­scriptions for bonds to be registered In the names of persons giving only Initials rather than the full name, I have to say that it is the intent of the department, not for its own sake, fent for the sake of the holders of reg­istered bonds, to have them registered In such manner as to enable the said holders, or their legal representatives, to dispose of them in the simplest and readiest manner. Bonds issued to wom­en under their initials, or under the Initials of their husbands, are not read­ily transferable in pake of the death pf the holder. ; "Though letters of administration would be issued in the legal name of the deceased, and the bonds would be Inscribed ip her name, under her ini­tials, or those of her husband, as the case might be, the letters of admin­istration and the bonds would not agree as to the name, and therefore the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A. Smith, say, would have to prove that fche ahd Mrs. Thomas W. Smith (or Mrs. Ji Smith) were one and the same i>ersorw It is to avoid troubles of this cliaracxer that the department has In­sisted on receiving the legal name of .person^ , subscribing for registered bonds. -

"Of tourse, the department cannot refuse to issue bonds under initials if •the parties interested-insist upon it,

. but 1$ Is requested that you, in all cages "where it is possible, insist on re­ceiving the full names of persons sub­scribing for registered bonds.",...

By WILLIAM HERSCHELL. When I hear some folks complainin'

; ' 'Bout the burden^ they must bear Just to keep our soldiers flghtin'

In tlxe trenches "over there," . Then I want to show a picture.

One I aftfr th' other day, >.Of a little Belgian youn'un

An' litf granny, old an' gray. . In eacli 1'ace was tears and terror.

Born of Teuton greed and lust, • „An' 1 pledged ply all to Freedom,

If to give toy fill I must. Then a new song woke within me,

A refrain I ain't forget; . ""We'll ;i!I go broke if we haf t'—

But (here's no one busted yet I"

[ •None of us if facin' hunger, None need fear to seek his bed

';Xest a demon in a Gotha Hurl a bomb from overhead.

iSere we go along a-singin' i Only now and then we sigh,

-An' we never see a soldier « 'Cept our own a-marehing by. *i

jl'olks, we'd ought to be so grateful To each flghtin' Yankee boy

•"iirhat th' sacrifice of givin' Should be measured as a joy.

jfio let's do our part—full-hearted— Smile and say without regret:

r>We'll all go btoke if we haf t'— ) But there's no one busted yet!"

MY SISTER AND BROTHER I'm a little wood girl-

Though my brother's a soldier boy And the letters he sends to me

Just fills my heart with joy. My brother is a very kind boy '<

And so is my sister too And whatever my loving sister does

That's what I usually do.

My sister has joined the Red Cross And my brother's a soldier boy

My sister wraps up wounds and sores, , "

And my brother fights for joy.

I guess I'll; pick some flowers, And make a beautiful wreath,

And give it to my sister Or my brother, who fights

peace.

But unless I make another It* surely would be wrong.

And so I'll make both one And join the Happy Song.

I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food, which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my com­plexion became dark, yellow and muddy as \ felt. Sleep­lessness was added to my mi­sery and I would awake as tired as when I went to sleep I heard of Chamberlain's tab­lets and found such relief af­ter taking them that I kept up the treatment for nearly two months. -They cleansed my stomach, invigorated my system, and since that time I can eat and sleep in comfort, lam today entirely well."
