The Bomb Raid.

The Bomb Raid.
The point we were to attack bad been
selected long before by our scouts. IL
was not. as you might suppose, the
weakest point In the German n IL
was. on the contrary, the strongest. IL
vas considered that the moral effect OF
cleaning up a weak point would be
comparatively small, whereas to break
In at the strongest point would De
something really worth while. n II
we were to take a chance It really
wouldn't pay to hesitate about degrees.
The section we were to raid had a
frontage of $50 yards and a depth or
200 yards. It had been explained to US
that we were to be supported by a
box barrage,' or curtain fire, from
our artillery to last exactly twenty-six
minutes-that is, for twenty-six min
utes from the time when we started
over the top" our artillery, several
miles back, would drop a curtain" Of
shells all around the edges Of that 100
yard by 200 yard section. We were to
have fifteen minutes In which to DO
our work. Any man not out at the
end of the fifteen minutes would neces.
sarily be caught In u own fire, as our
artillery would then change from a
box" to pour a straight curtain fire
covering all of the spot Of u opera
lions.
Our officers set their watches very
carefully with those of the artillery Of
hcers before we went forward to the
front trenches. We reached the front
at II p. m, and not until our arrival
there were we Informed Of the Zero
hour"-the time when the attack was
to be made. The hour Of 1910 had
been selected. The waiting from II
O'Clock until that time was simply an
agony. Some Of our men sat stupid
and inert. Others kept talking con-
stantly about the most inc%onsequential
matters. One man undertook to tell q
funny story. No one listened to it, and
the laugh at the end was emaciated
and CHASTITY. The inactiOn was driving
US all into a state Of funk. l could &C
tually feel my nerve oozing u at my
finger tips, and If we had had to wait
fifteen minutes longer | wouldn't have
been able to climb out Of the trench.
About half an hour before we were
to go over every man had his eye UP
the trench, for we know the rummies'
were coming that way. The rum gang
serves out a stiff shot of Jamaica jusI
before an attack, and It would be 8
real test of temperance to see a man
refuse. There were no prohibitionist:
In our set. Whether or not we got oul

sergeant in charge was drunk or sober
After the shot began to work one mar

In my ear:

That noggtn of rum is a life saver.
When the hour approached for us t
start the artillery fire was so heavy
that orders had to be shouted into ear
from man to man. The bombardmen.

few FOLKS HAVE
CRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies
are Using Recipe of
Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and ustre,
or when it fades. turns gray. dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so attrac
tive, use only this old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking a. any drug
store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth'5
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally. so even
ly, that nobody can possibly tell il
has been applied. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. by morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage
beautifully darkening the hair after a
few applications, it also brings back
the gloss and lustre and gives it an
appearance of abundance

SAYS HOT WATER

FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in It,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle. we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent it's sponge-like pores from clog

bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
II YOU wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid it's your liver Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know it's function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel. which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
1t accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman. sick or
we'll, should drink each morning be-
1ore breakfast. glass of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons. sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel. because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. n
