THIS BRETON HERO
HAS DONE HIS BIT
STORY OF FRENCH HEROISM COM
PARED WITH GERMAN
DEVILTRY

PARASITIC Breton peasant is noted
for his hardness, but even in the an
nails of that sturdy race the adventure
of Edmond Angler, late sergeant in a
Chasseur regiment, will rank among
the most remarkable.
While recommending with five COM
rades in shell-ravaged wood, he was
separated from his companions and
fell in with a party of eight German
Uhlans. Finding escape impossible he
stood at bay behind tree and dropped
three of his antagonist with his re-
volver before being finally captured
1ncensed for the heavy price they had
to pay for capturing the Frenchman,
the Uhlans tied him to the tail of one
of their horses and brought him into
the German lines. The commanding
officer ordered Angler to be shot.
The next morning, with four civil
ians Angler was brought out to suf-
fer death. They were lined up against
a wall, the firing party took aim and
fired. All fell, including Angler, who
by miraculous chance was not killed,
though he had five bullets in his body,
two in his right leg, two in his right

arm and one through his right sould-

er.
He had presence of mind enough to
lie still and feign death. But his
torments were not yet over The offic-
er in command of ehe firing party, to
make sure the victims were dead, fired
a shot from his revolver into each of
the PROSTATE forms.
Anglers forehead was furrowed by
the shot fired by the officer, but again
his life was spared
All day he lay there in agony and
trembling lest they should come to
bury him. When at last night came
he cautiously raised his head and was
relieved to see he was alone except
for the four still forms beside him.
With great difficulty he dragged him
self along, till he gained the open
country beyond the village. There he
was discovered during the night by a
German patrol, taken for a member
of French recommending party,
wounded in a recent skirmish, and
conveyed to a field-hospital.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 13.-The
'innards" of corn pone, as understood
in the South, differ greatly from the
northern conception as voiced by the

broke into rhyme In a Boston news
paper:

meal mellow,

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal De,


ness and Head Noises.
If you know someone who is troubled
with head noises. or Catarrhal Deaf
ness, cut out this formula, and hand
it to them, and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises,
etc, were the direct cause of constitu-
tional disease and that salves, sprays
inhalers, etc. merely temporize with
the complaint and seldom. if ever, eff
feet a permanent cure. This being so,
much time and money has been spent
of late by a noted specialist in perfect
ing a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dispel all traces of
the catarrhal poison from the system.
The effective prescription which was
eventually formulated, and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will
soon be extinct, is given below In I'M
derstandable form. so that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home
at little expense.
Secure from your druggist / OF. Par
mint Double Strength.) Take this
home and add to it i pint of hot
water and OF. of graduated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lieye the distressing head noises, head
ache, dullness, cloudy thinking. etc.
while the hearing rapidly returns as
the system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment Loss of smell
and mucus dropping in the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence Of catarrhal poison, and
which are often. entirely overcome by
this efffcacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent. of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore
there must be many people whose
hearing can be restored by this simple
home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this
prescription a trial. Glenn Thistle
thwaite can supply you.-Adv.

Boosting Il

Still the good work goes on, soon
there will not be any more tired, ner-
vous people in our city.
This is caused largely by the wide
spread use of Phospnated Iron, the
new tonic and nerve bracer that has
sprung into instant popularity with the
medical world.
Phosphated Iron will help any run
down, nervous condition almost imme-
diately. It will put fresh iron in the
blood, the phosphates taking hold Of
the nerve centers and bracing them
up. You will eat better, sleep better
and get up in the morning feeling like
doing things; you will feel the old
time vim and snap of youth surging
through your veins; you will tackle
the days work with confidence and a
smile.
| Science has taught US that when we
have enough Iron and Phosphorus in
the blood and nerves we are healthy;
/ that almost all conditions Of Ill health
and nervousness are due to the lack of
| Iron or Phosphorus. Phosphated Iron
rarely fails to supply the needed
amount of both.
| Use Phosphated Iron one week and
you will forget you were ever nervous,
