sadness to our hearts in the TAX
ing away of our beloved brother,
William l.. Brockman, who died
on May 10, 1918.
Bro. Brockman had lived near
ly four score years and had been
an active business man from ear
ly manhood till recently when
failing health debarred him from
business activities. In the Civil
War he served his country in the
ranks of a veteran union regi-
ment that saw hard services in
the South.

THE SOLDIERS BURIAL PLACE,

Two young soldiers are buried
already in the Columbia Gene
terry. They were soldiers of the
American army. They did not
die in battle. But the memory
of these two Adair county boys
will none the less be honored
and their graves kept garlanded
on other Decoration days, for
they died at their post of duty
preparing for the sacrifice that
was not permitted to be their
glory. 1t is reasonable to eX-
pect that others will be brought
from time to time to be laid to
rest in this silent camping
ground, and, the thought sug-
gests to US the error that parents
and relatives of other young SOL
diers of Adairncounty are max
ing by not having.the bodies of
these heroes who are brought
home for burial, laid to rest here
in the cemetery centrally located
in the county, and at the county
seat, where provision will al
ways be made for the proper
care of theirEgraves, and where
in their silent and eternal rest
they may repose together, and
their memories be on memorial
occasions properly ceremonializeo
and perpetuated.
This cemetery will no doubt il
time become a national cemetery
and it is a serious mistake that
in time will be regretted by par.
ents and surviving relatives that
the bodiessof these dead soldiers
are frequently taken for inter
ment to small gfamily burial
grounds in remote parts of the
county to be neglected and for
gotten in time to come, when
their immediate relatives have
passed away, or in many cases,
removed to other parts of the
country. In all of these cases it
is done on account of a shortliv-
ed sentiment that parents and
relatives cherish for having their
dead as close to their living res
idence as possible and buried in
the almost universally neglected
family burial grounds or plots in
the country church yard.
We all know too we'll how the
average graveyard away from
the urban centers are kept, anc
how generally when the lane
and the old homestead pass into
the hands of new proprietors OF
tenants these places of buria
are left to the broom: sedge anc
the bramble briar to become the
haunts of natures predatory
creatures and things. Let us
bury our dead heroes of this
war where the tender hands OF
national posterity may claim
perenially a part and sentimen-
tai privilege in decorating the
graves of those who died that

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Keeping the tide of their ad-
vance in the center flowing
strongly, although seemingly
less swiftly, toward the Marine,
the Germans simultaneously
have executed a stroke on the
allied left flank that has extend
ed the battle line westward and
virtually linked up the present
battle field with that of the
Somme.
The attack was delivered along
the Ailette river, northwest of
Scissors. Sweeping forward in
the salient that projected be-
tween the Somme and the Aisne
battlefelds, the Germans drove
the allied line back so that it
now runs northwestward from
the vicinity of Scissors, through
Epagny and Blerancourt to the
Disc river, apparently at its
point of junction with the Disc
canal about eight miles east of
Noyon.
The Noyon area was included
within the field of the German
offensive in March, when the
French established new lines
along the Disc and the Disc ca
nal to the east and southwest of
that town after being driven
back below st. Quentin. The
German drive down the Disc
Valley toward Paris was then
checked. The present offensive
movement here suggests the
possibility of its resumption.
The advance in the center has
now brought the Germans with

New Compact Fire Escape.

One of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
veniently arranged at the window of a
dwNling. 1t consists of a container
hinged to the sill in such manner
that by opening the window and fold
ing the container on it's hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, means is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder is held at a
distance from the walls Of the build
ing. The advantage Of such precaution
is obvious.

The MAKING OF

How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes i'm
contact with the medicine is sterilized
Aend as a final precaution in cleanliness
~the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
30 successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
