ASA FCRTNEY, Executor. LIKE MOTHER MADE. By FRANK J. TAYLOR (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the American Army at the Front. Shrapnel cake 1c what they call Mother Burdkk's latest creation.

It's great, and the "ock around the little canteen at that crucial hour when the cake comes out of the oven, dally. They say "shrapnel cake" is just the thing that will make tire boys lick the Germans. When war was declared by Cnc.v Sam, "Mother" Burdlck was down in Texas with "Pa" Burdlck on the old homestead. Her two sons, Just of age, immediately volunteered for the army. "Mother" Burdlck told "Pa" Burdlck she "just couldn't stay home when the boys were serving over there." "Pa" Burdlck felt the same way, and the two almost elderly people volunteered to run a Salvation Army canteen in the army zone, baking pies, and making coffee, chocolate and doughnuts for the boys.

Boys Call Her Mother. The Burdicks have had canteens in a number of places, usually in the farthest outposts allowed the Salvation Army, and all along the front the name "Mother" Burdlck is a watchword with the fighters. The boys write letters to her, and it's always "Dear Mother." Recently, Burdlck's health suffered under the strain, and she was transferred to a rear canteen to rest, which she didn't do. When there was no cooking, she was always near the stove, sewing buttons on coats and repairing torn overcoats. Not long ago some of the boys expressed wishes for some cake "like mother made back home." They de scribed the cake, and "Mother Bur- dick got busy.

She produced "shrapnel cake," a cross between a gingerbread and an honest-to-goodness American cake, with currents and raisins in it. It's a wonder, and so good that the prestige of Salvation Army doughnuts-and pie is In danger. At a wedding reception In Illinois a young wne remarKea: wasni annoying the way that Nelson baby cried during the whole ceremony?" "It was simply dreadful," replied the prim little maid of honor, "and when I get married I'm going to have en graved right on the corner of the Invitation, 'No babies expected'." Mankato Advocate. RECORD OF THE PAST. Stronger Evidence Can Be Had No In Concordia.

Look well to their record. What hey have done many times In years gone by is tne best guarantee oi fu ture results. Anyone with a bad back any reader suffering from uninary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting word3 in the following statement. W. G.

Kocher, retired farmer, 1108 Broadway, Concordia, says: "I had se vere pains over my kidneys and bad backaches. The kidney secretions contained sediment and were irregu lar in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills which i got at Layton Neilson'a Drug Store, soon gave me great re lief." ALMOST FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr. Kochef said: "The benefit Doan's Kidney nils gave me has been permanent. I haven't needed kidney medicine since." Price 60 cents at all dealers.

FERGUSON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the American Forces in Pic- ardy. "I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how: They are in the gathering darkness just outside the window of the United Press billet, the: soldiers who are singing this. It is in iPicardy, Just back of the great battle line and on the road these same soldiers must hold to turn the German armies back from Paris. A nightingale adds its song. The air is heavy with the smell of apple blossoms.

The buds on the trees are rapidly raking the form of leaves Along the crooked little street that is the "backbone" on which the low, quaint little houses of the village are built, come other boys from home "I wonder who's buying the wine, For the lips that I used to call mine;" No Drug Store Here. The song goes on. These other boys join the group. It is like a gath ering of neighborhood pals at tn corner drug store to try out a little harmony. But they are leaning against the cold stone of an old peaked-roog French stable and house, The military police waves the traffic of war it is a cross-roads, and regulations are strict Caissons, wagons loaded with forage, ammuni tion and supplies Toll by.

There Is an occasional whine of a shell as the enemy artillery begins to limber up, but with more voices joining in, the song goes on; "I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissln her now." The singing drifts to "Good Night Ladies." The traffic becomes heavier, the roar of the guns louder, the whine and burst of shells more frequent. Soon the sky Is aflame. Windows and doors rattle as the little house trembles from the concussion of guns. Another night of killing and destruc tion Is under way. The Kansan editor is in receipt of private letter from John W.

Best, former editor of the Clyde Republican now at Springfield, taking training at the M. C. A. College there. He Is still enthusiastic about his new work.
