WOMAN'S NERVES MADESTRONG By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Winona, Minn.-" I suffered for more than a year from nervousness, and was so bad I could not rest at night would lie awake and get so nervous I would have to get up and walk around and in the morning would be - all tired out. I read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com: - t. ~pound and thought I would try it. My nervousness soon left me. I sleep well and feel fine in the morning and able to do my work. I gladly recom mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to make weak nerves strong."- Mrs. ALBERT SULTZE, 603 Olmstead St. Winona, Minn. How often Ao we hear the expression among women, "I am so nervous, I can not sleep," or "it seems as though I should fly." Such women should profit by Mrs. Sultze's experience and give this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a trial. For forty years it has been overcom ing such serious conditions as displace ments, inflammation, ulceration, irreg ularities, periodic pains, backache, diz ziness, and nervous prostration of women, and is now considered the stan dard remedy for such ailments. JOHNSON PRAISES 117th [NCINEERS This Officer Was Prime Mover in Organization SAW RAPID PROMOTION Was Made Colonel During the St. Mihiel Campaign in September, 1918. Columbia, May 11.-"Their conduct in training and in battle has been that of true men and bratve patriots, and I cannot praise them too highly," said Col. J. Monroe Johnson, of the 117th Engineers, a part of the fam ous 42nd (Rainbow Division, in speak ing of the men of his regiment to day. Col. Johnson was the prime mover in the organization of the First Battalion of this regiment in 1917. He was appointed to the rank of Major and went overseas in command of the South Carolina Battalion, in October, 1917. He was promoted to the rank of Lieut.-Col. in the Spring of 1918, and again promoted to the rank of Ce. during the St. Mihiel campaign in September, 1918. "I Should Say Not." When told of rumors of his pos sible political ambitions, and asked as to whether or not, there is any foun dation for same, Col. Johnson replied promptly and emphatically, "I should say not. My only desire has been to direct the activities of this regiment in such a manner as to bring credit to the men and the States they rep resent. My only desire now is to as sist them in securing suitable em ployment, and get back to my own business as quickly as possible. Our soldiers are more interested in get ting back to normal conditions in pri vate life, than they are in politics, and God hole the cheap politician, who thinks h^ can ride into office by yell ing "hero" and "brave boys" at these men when they are most interested in homes, roads, farms, education and other material things that go to make South Carolina a great State. One of the happiest events of my life is to be able to return to South Carolina with these men, who have been through the greatest experiences of their lives, and have fully measured op to the high ideals set for them by their friends and loved ones at home.

These men are re turning to their homes and loved ones with broader minds, stronger bodies and clean morals, better than ever fitted to perform the duties of civilian life in our States. They ask and de serve consideration in the matter of employment, not as heroes and not be cause of having performed their duty to humanity by giving up their all to go to a foreign country and fight, but because of their efficiency in their several lines, and their desire to .set tle down to work and do their share in the great battle of reconstruction that must go on for some time in this country. Tender of Sympathy. "To the families any friends of those who are left behind, who have made the supreme sacrifice, and whose bodies rest in France or ermany, I tender the sympathy of their com rades. In our regiment, the order to retreat has never been given, and those who fell, did so, facing the en emy, offering their lives on the altar of liberty and justice, that generations yet unborn, might live in peace and happiness. We honor their memory and shall never forget their heroism and unselfish sacrifice." The men are tired of parades and are anxious to get home. For this reason, there will be no parade in Columbia, and it is expected that all of the men of this famous organiza tion will leave camp for their homes Tuesday or Wednesday. 0 TO SELL SURPLUS GOODS Packers Interested in Government's Proposed Sale.
