New York, Aug. 13.-Wounded In bat.
tie. nursed back to life and married and
then wounded again in action is the re.
markable experience of Second Lieut.
George Nelson Hunter. All these events
took place inside of two months. But
this time the wound the German foe has
inflicted will probably result in the loss
of an arm.
BY his marriage Lieut.. Hunter became
the nephew of Thomas S. Wilson. OF
this city, a member of the American
Rights Committee. Mr.. Wilson has writ
ten to friends here concerning the ro-
nance.
After having been wounded on duty in
France with the Australian Field Engi-
neers Hunter was gazetted second lieu
tenant of the Nineteenth Battalion OF
the Royal Irish Rifles.
He celebrated this double achievement
with his marriage on June last to Miss
Ria McCammond. daughter of Mr.. James
Napier McCammond, C. E, Brandon Tow
crs, Sydenham. and granddaughter of the
late Sir William McCammond. of Fort
William Park, formerly lord mayor OF
Belfast, Ireland. Mrs. McCammond is
Mr.. Wilson's sister. The ceremony was
performed in the Belfast Cathedral.
Shortly thereafter. delegated to the
front once more, Lieut.. Hunter again be-
came a victim of the enemys marksman-
ship, this time on the plains of Northern
France He is now in a hospital in Lon
don. Mr.. Wilson'S sister in her letter
told of the imminent amputation of his
right arm. The result OF this operation
will be the retirement Of the young lieu
tenant from active service and his pos
sible transfer to the Home Defense
Corps.

1t is second nature to the child to

-one Of the worst possible things for
its health. Colds, fever, sore throat,
tonsilitis and indigestion all can usual
ly be traced back to this neglect and
to constipation.
Watch your children-see to it that

Standing by the side window, she
could see the snorting engines be

with people, their upturned faces
