The other two kept on. The danger
Increased as they approached the top
Of the hill. Both Of them were bleed

spent with the exertion Of the long as

only thought was to do what they had
come to do. Just at dawn they round

they saw were two German officers
standing with binoculars sweeping the
American lines. Quick as thought.
without waiting to place their gun, one

The officers went down, and the enemy
guns woke up. The two boys made
cover with their gun and answered the
fire. Before the day had fairly broken,
they had Cleaned OUT the nest OF
enemy guns and had their own gun

but his wark, a situation which is
helpful to his state of mind, as well
as his body. He is learning good
living and clean habits in the army.
Then there are those army doctors
who are continually watching to nip
anything in the bud that might break
down health of the men. A good
football team in training never aver
aged higher in medical attention
than Uncle Sans fighters. Inspec-
ton takes place ever SO often, and
is careful. The men, knowing they
are entitled to treatment freely, re-
port sooner for attention. Dentists
are far more popular than they used
to be, as well as doctors.
Hospitals Are Good
Even the chaps who are sent back
to hospitals gain by the deal, despite
the popular belief. BY far the larger
number of men in hospitals have
merely temporary disabilities. The
army hospitals run on one basis, that
Of making man better for service
than he was before. Of course there
are men who must go back home
after their hospital sojourns, but
with the exception of few eases,
they too leave hospitals in healthier
condition than they were in when
they Joined the army. =, :
The reason is this. Every means
of science is used freely to find out
what ails the doughboy who enters
the hospital, and before he leaves
every means known to cure him has
been tried. There is no question Of
cost or whether or not he wants to
take the treatment. He gets it
which is important, say physicians,
since an enormous amount of dis
ability in civilians is allowed to in
crease, because of antipathy of many
people to medical treatment.
The soldier who arrives at a hos
pital is practically certain to get an
X-ray examination all over, unless
his trouble is a mere scratch and he
is all right otherwise. If anything
ais him, the medical men find it out,
and they go right after the ailment
at once. Thus the soldier who came
in to get his appendix removed may
have his lungs treated, his teeth
fixed, and his deaf ear operated upon
and made perfect. He is decidedly
a better human being for his hospital
experience.

Are You a DangIer?

A dangler is one who bangles, that
is one who awaits the decisions Of
other people instead of choosing his
own course and making circumstances
conform to it. The dangler may be
found any day in the open market,
complaining because nobody hires him,
or her, as the case may be. Our most
celebrated and successful labOrers
asked no odds of anybody. They SIM
ply went to work, somewhere, any
where that offered opportunity, and
then they helped to build up the COM
munity that supported them and so
became in time 'grand old men," who
to undiscerning minds seemed to have
been wonderfully favored by fortune.
They did not dangle, but became the
strong supports upon which folk of a
weaker sort leaned, and not in vain,
that virtue would come out Of them.

What's The Reason?
Many EdgertOn People in Poor
Health Without Knowing the
Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without real
izing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with back
ache and headache; suffer from nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, weakness, languor
and depression. Perhaps the kidneys
have fallen behind in their work of fill
tering the blood and that may be the
root of the trouble. Look to your kid
neys-assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You can use
no more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Below is grateful testimony from a
resident of this locality:
Fred Peglow. East street, Elkhorn,
Wis, says: Casually, if | caught cold
or did any extra heavy lifting, my back
began to hurt. I had pains through
the small of my back and in my sides:
My kidneys didn't act regularly and |
thought they probably caused the back
ache Doan's Kidney Pills regulated
my kidneys and then the pains left my
back and sides. Doan's are fine; they
do just what they are claimed to do. !"

Artificial Sponge Propagation.

The growing scarcity of sponges has
warned those familiar with harvesting
them that unless means are provided
to augment the natural supply the
sponge industry will be seriously Grip
pied in a few years more. An Eng
lishman, living in Florida, some time
ago selected a site off the Florida
coast, where he started sponge farm.
At present he has about 100000
sponges, which are capable by subdi-
vision of increasing about tenfold ev-
cry three years. At the end of three
years an annual yield of 100000
sponges can be had. - Portsmouth

HUNS SINK HOSPITAL SHIP
British Steamer LIandoVery Castle
Torpedoed Off Fastnet-234 Per-
sons Missing-24 Rescued.

London, July "A German subma-
Llandovery Castle, 116 miles south
west of Fastnet, June q, the British
admiralty announced.
The LlandOvery Castle was home
ward bound from Canada. 1t carried
258 persons. This total includes 80
Canadian army medical corps men and
IA woman nurses.
One boat containing "A survivors
has reached port.
One of the boats containing IL
nursing sisters, was seen to capsize,
it was reported. The sisters were
drowned.
The submarine commander, who or
dered the captain of the LlandOvery
Castle, several of the officers, and Ma
jOr Lyon of the medical corps aboard,
declared that he had sunk the ship be-
cause it was carrying American avia-
ton officers and others in the fighting
service of the allies. The only officers
on board the ship were six officers of
the medical corps.
1.-THE Llandovery Castle was 11,423
tons gross and was built at Glasgow in
1914 for the Union Castle Mail Steam
ship service. The vessel was 500 feet
long, 63 feet beam and 81 feet deep.l
The admiralty issued the following
comment on the sinking:
"Germany's awful debt to the world
continues to grow. Another hospital
ship has been tOrpedOed, this time 116
miles from the nearest land, and her
people turned adrift in their boats, to
sink or swim as they best might. And
though, as it happened, she was a
Canadian hospital ship returning from
Halifax with no wounded on board,
the tale of crime reveals a wanton de-
liberation on the part of the submarine
commander, and almost suggests the
hope on his part that he would find
her full of injured and helpless men,

PLANTS PURIFIERS or AIR
Their Consumption of carbonic Acid
Gas, Always Going On, lis OF
Great Benefit.

Plants do not breathe or have any
action corresponding to the breathing
of animals Oxygen is essential to the
sustaining of life in animals, includ-
ing human beings, and in breathing
air they consume or appropriate the
oxygen it contains and give out car
bonic acid gas, which is poisonous.
Plants do not consume oxygen, but
they consume carbonic acid, thus help
ing to purify the atmosphere, which is
to some extent rendered impure by
the breathing Of animals. They do not
generate oxygen, but they release it
by consuming the carbOnic acid. Tyn-
dali, celebrated scientist, says: "COn-
slider all the fires in the world and all
the animals in the world continually
pouring their carbonic acid into the
atmosphere. Would it not be fair to
conclude that our air must become
more and more contaminated and unfit
to support either combustion or life?
This seems inevitable, but it would be
a conclusion founded upon half knowl-
edge and therefore wrong. A prOvi-
sion exists for continually purifying
the atmosphere of it's excess of car
bonic acid. By the leaves of plants
this gas is absorbed, and within the
leaves it is decomposed by the solar
rays. The carbon is stored UP in the
tree, while the pure oxygen is restored
to the atmosphere. Carbonic acid, in
fact, is to a great extent the nutriment
of plants, and inasmuch as animals in
the long run, derive their food from
the vegetable world, this very gas,
which at first sight might be regarded
as a deadly constituent of the atmos-
phere, is the main sustainer, both of
vegetable and animal life"
