PIONEER BAND rs
ABLE TO FURNISH
ANYTHING NEEDED

Behind British Lines in France
The pioneer section" of a British
battalion consists of a sergeant
and 10 men, attached to headquar-
tiers. The members of this little
band are really men of all
trades" and all-round workmen,
ready to do plumbing, painting,
carpentry, or almost anything else.
The pioneer sergeant is generally
known by the nickname "old Two
by-Four apparently derived from
the carpenters name for a piece o.
wood with cross section two
inches by four inches, which is the
foundation in the building line.
If the pioneer sergeant is asked
for bed, he must produce it forth
with Four short pieces of two-by-
four for legs. two long and two
short pieces for the frame, to-
wire netting, and the result is
what seems in the trenches the
best bed in the world.
The pioneers are as handy with
the paint brush as with the saw.
They paint the tin hats" of the
battalion in the regimental colors
and with the letters of the different
companies, an invaluable device in
fighting when companies get
mixed up.
OF course the pioneer is pre-
pared to do his fighting when nee
essary. He is a trained soldier, lik =
every other specialist. His knowl-
edge of saws and planes and paint
has been merely added to his
knowledge of bombs and rifles.

American and Canadian training
fields within a radius of 80 miles OF
the cataract.
Many times recently tourists
have been treated to unusual and
unannounced performances. Lin
coin Beachey's Dip to Death" IN
der the upper steel arch bridge,
nearest the Falls, has been repeat
ed many times.
The most sensational perform
ance has been by two unidentified
aviators supposed to be from the
training field at Beamsville, Ont.
They sent their two planes through
the gorge and under the lower
steel arch and Cantilever bridges
which are close together and in the
narrowest part of the chasm.
The airmen came from the
north, entering the gorge near the
whirlpool and emerging at point
about three hundred feet south of
the Cantilever bridge. They then
circled over the Falls and sailed
away toward Beamsville.

NEW SOUTHERN AUTO
TOURIST PARTY ROUTE
[Continued from FIRST Page ]

Birmingham it extends directly
south to Montgomery and Pensacola
with branch extending from Mont
gomery by way of Selma. Alabama
TO Mobile. From Mobile the route
extends west and from Pensacola
east to Jacksonville, and other points
in Florida, thus making a sort of
comprehensive tours between the
north and south covering the most
attractive part of the south and
affording great scenic attra ctions.
These routes undoubtedly will take
prominence over any other so-called
automobile routes between the north
and south for the reason of the great
variety of scenery and Improvement
of roads
The automobile traffic from New
England and from New York and
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly go
south by way of Harrisburg and the
automobile traffic around Ohio. In
diana and Illinois and the middle
western states will go south by one
of the other routes, but will probably
return by the way of the Shenandoah
Valley route and Harrisburg.
This organization has the support
of the state authorities of the South
ern states. the various Cham bers of
Commerce and Boards of Trade of
the cities through which the routes
pass and is supported also by varI-
Gus automobile associations and au-
tomobile clubs throughout the CEN

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are misunderstanding

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the arb.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the re.
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaintswith
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teethlike
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quicklycorrectit. it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy''and
heavy" Note how they clear "clouded

landed his son as an employe in the
State Insurance Department last
year, has been on the payroll of the
Highway Department since Novem-
Der 19, 1917. He was strong par
tisan of the Governor in the sessions
