First, out came queer bundle COW

Everybody took off his cap.
The next shrieked with pain. 1t
was half man; the lower half was
missing.
Then came a long stream of
stretchers bearing one-legged men;
the left leg gone. They were set in
a row.
Now for the ones with the right
leg gone. They must be distributed
side-by-side with the former, so that
in placing the lot i'm ambulances, a
whole leg would be next the wall and

A sergeant called us sharply to the
other side of the hall for the last in

by fragments of shell, they made a
weird array as they lay in row, each
with a queer shaped white mask

We removed them to the ambu-
lances, and l watched man with no

He insisted that the ambulance

We drove the rest of the night, and
when the last load was taken out of

DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or 60 and help put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
cough. A cough is danger signal
as much as a fire bell. You should no
more try to suppress it than to stop a
fire bell when it is ringing, but should
cure the disease that causes the cough
ing. This can nearly always be done
by taking Chamberlain s Cough Remedy
Many have used it with the most bene-
fetal results. 1t is especially valuable
for the persistent cough that so often
follows a bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews,
Ind, writes: During the winter my
husband takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for break
ing up these attacks and you cannot get
him to take any other. Obtainable
everywhere.
