MISS EVA ZAINTZ
Miss Eva Zaintz, twenty-three yeara
of age, a powerfully built young worn
in who served with the “Battalion of
Death," the Russian regiment of worn
en who fought so gallantly for the
Kerensky government, is now in this
country. Shortly after the fall of
(erensky this brave Russian fight jr
fled from the country and made her
way to tne United States. She is no»v
<n Brooklyn with a relative,
r——————-——
tailed on the job. This prevents over
crowding the camp shoe repair she;-.
Should the shoe he too far gone to be
repaired by the regimental shoemaker
t i ; sent to the repair shop for the
division, where it is properly tagged
and the re|>airs needed noted. I'•
shoes also are inspected there for any
faulty manufacture or foot disea c
which might he remedied by promts
action
When the necessary repairs ha.*»
been made , the renovated shoes aga:‘
are inspected to see that the work ha
born properly done and that the she ■:
are in condition for hard marching
They then are returned to the un t
supply officer sending them to th
shop and. if possible . they are return
ed to the man who wore them origin
ally. In the event the first owner has
been transfered or sent overseas, t to
shoes are n-issued by the quarterma^i
-er.
Should the shoes be too far gone to
repair they go to the salvage depart
ment where they are cut up to be us* •
n reparing other shoes less worn, us
cd for repairing harness and oth
camp equipment. Not a piece of leal I
er is wasted. Kven the worn out upo
re cut up for leather thongs av

Not So Far That the Statements oT
Its Residents Cannot Be Vertified
i Rather an interesting rase has be. n
developed in Washington, Being
so near by. it is well worth publish
ing hero. The statement is sincere —
the proof convincing:—
j Sidney B. Hart, 825 W. Sharp Ave.,
| Spokane, Wash says: “The grip left
my kidneys weak. My kidneys got <o
they didn’t act freely enough and t'ie
! muscles of my back became stiff and
achy Many time I had dizzy spells
I and little black spots floated before
my eyes, blurring my sight. A sharp
pain caught me in my back wheneve;
I I bent over. Doan’s Kidney Pills had
1 always been highly i-ocommendod so 1
j thought 1 would give them a trial.
After I had used one box I was cured
| ef that awful trouble, for my kidneys
: were in good condition again.”
