A resolution having its inception in Front Line Post and now being pre- sented to every post in the departmen’ for action will be brought before the council tomorrow night and its support asked.

As the Country was not as yet actually at war with Germany, these deaths are not covered by the World War benefits. but as Mr. Bloom has pointed out in his bill, hese men were killed by the submarine« of a country which a little while later was at war with the United States, and the families of these heroes should re- ceive the same consideration from Uncle Sam as those of our men who were killed after April 6. 1917 Front Line Post became No, Co- interested ‘The whale world knows Aspirin' as an cffective antidote for pain. But it's just as important to know that there is only one genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine; and if it doesn’t it is not! Headaches of all sorts arc dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are colds, and the pain that goes with them ; even neuralgia, neuritis, and rheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore—with proven directions, in this bill when It was learned that the family of Chief Gunner's Mate S.
