QUATRECHT IS NOW
VILLAGE OF DEAD"
German Army Is Burying Thou
sands on the Outskirts Of
Belgian Town.

THE HAGUE. Nov. 1S-The little
town of Quatrecht. near Ghent, is now
a Village Of the dead" As the shad-
ows Of night fall upon the shell-bat-
tered houses, the rumbling of heavy
wagons is heard by the stricken lnhabi-
tants, who stil call the crumbling
shells In which they live their homes.
Slowly. almost silently, these wagons
come and go. Pickering lights on the
outskirts of the village illuminate weird
piles resembling cordwood stacked from
the wagons. Long trenches yawn be-
meath torches and lanterns. Tho wag-
ons depart. and Quatrecht is left to
itself again.
The town is the central burial ground
or the German army In Flanders. Twice
1t has been battle ground. Now 1t Is
receiving the men who fought there,
but this time In the peace Of death.
Owing to the ferocity Of the fight
ing and the flooding of the battle area,
1t has long been impossible for the Ger
mans to bury their dead on the F1an-
ders battlefield. Wagons. laden with
corpses. now arrive at Quatrecht night
iy. On their journey to the burial
ground they avoid the roads on which
fresh troops are marching to the front.
trenches They are mostly Germans ans
but Belgian, French. and English sol.
diers are intermingled with the enemy.
AS the autumn evenings fall. the
stricken population of Quatrecht re-
mains indoors. Far of they hear the
roar OF the guns over the remnant
of Belgium. Near them there is only
the roll OF the wagons to break the
stiffness of the night
Then the lights and the low voices.
They know that thousands OF young
bodies are being placed beneath the
ground. the echo Of the roaring guns
their only requiem.

THIN BLOOD AND DYSPEPSIA

Thin-blooded people generally have
stomach trouble. They seldom recognize
the fact that thin blood is the cause OF
the indigestion but it is.
Thin blood is one of the most common
causes OF stomach trouble. 1t affects the
digestion at once. The glands that fur
nish the digestive fluids are diminished
in their activity, the stomach muscles are
weakened and there is loss of nerve
force. In this condition nothing will
more quickly restore appetite. digestion

DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly
on the blood, making it rich and red,

that supply the digestive fluids. The
