The official explanation is that the purpose of the order is to keep infor mation of value from the enemy. On being informed of the order the committee took the position that long lists of men killed or wounded would be worthless to the newspaper cor respondents without the addresses, and a notice was issued advising the press that in future all information regarding casualties must be obtained from the war department. At the ad I jutant general's office it was stated the list without addresses would con tinue to be sent, to the committee and would be available here. Unalterable Purpose While the disagreement between the committee and the department will be sraightened out soon, so that the "ex purgated" lists may be made available to all who desire them, the purpose of the department to withhold the ad dresses alparently is unalterable. Acting Secertary Crowell said the or der was issued at the urgent recom mendation of Gen. Pershing and that lit would be permanent. Both Mr. 1Crowell and Major Gen. March, acting chief of staff, declared that the pur pose was to close up a channel through which the enemy might ob tain valuable information and both disclaimed any intention of seekin: to conceal heavy casualties reports. To. Notify Relatives The nearest relative of every sol dier who may be killed or wounded will be notified by the edpartment as I heretofore. Lists containing simpiy the names "of the soldiers under the heading "killed in action" or "died of disease" will be sent each (lay to the committee on public information To give out the lists in this shape, ac cording to officials of the committee, would bring each day a flood of re quests by telephone, telegraph and mail for specific identification of each man anmed in the list of the previous day. Identity of Units Unofficially it..was said at theWar Department that Gen. Pershing held that the publication of addresses with |the casualty lists tends to disclose the I identity of units in the trenches, in formation which the enemy is so de sirous of obtaining that many lives are risked in sending raiding parties to bring out a prisoner or two to be examined and questioned. To press the order means that each newspaper must depend upon mes sages to relatives to get the news of men from its own community who are killed or wounded.

Five Bottles of Cardul Made Her Well. Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs.. Dallas Prine, of this place, says: "After the birth of my last child...I got very much run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. I was so awfully nervous that I could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time... I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for, I felt so badly and was' so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. about my taking Cardul. He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 5 bot ties.. .After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved...before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disap peared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot ties, I could do all my house-work and attend to my, six children be sides." You can feel safe in giving Cardui a thorough trial for your troubles.
