AMERICANS 60 AFTER
 CAPTURED MEN, GET THEM

me about one of our corporals who did what was regarded as fine piece of work. This lad had charge of ma chine gun squad Early in the push all his comrades were knocked out by shell fire and he was left alone with the gun.
 He knew that the gun was needed, so he started forward with it him self. It was no light job, but he kept setting it up and working it until he got through to the final objective, where he made his final stand. He was pumping away religiously at the Boches apd the Australian officer was watching him with interest, for he knew he was a green man and ao- mired the way in which he was carry ing on. Suddenly the corporal rais- ed himself up and then dropped to ihsi knee again, with his head hang ing.
 Whats the matter Tank, are you hit?' called the officer.
 No, sir replied the corporal quickly, but. do you know this darned thing don't kick at all.'
 After fighting magnif1cently with his gun for so long the corporal had just made that big discovery, and he simply stopped firing for moment to inspect his machine with new in. terest. The officer was delighted with the soldiers action and tolt the story to us later"
 .cWe were surprised" the off1cel l added, ''at some of the prisoner taken. Most of them were strap ping fellows, but there were a lot O them who, while big, were yer! young The Bochs put over some ga at one time, but 1t was only might. good experience for our men, as the. were equipped with the masks.
 T want to say here that thos Australians are magnificent fighters We have been learning the game iron them Our fellows watched the vet erans closely, and it was a case imitation without a second lesson.

GRANDMOTHER WAS THE
DRUGGIST

In tho early days Of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and her
drugs consisted mostly OF roots and
herbs gathered from the fields and
forests. There was peppermint for in
digestion. mullen for coughs. skullcap
for nervousness, thoroughwort for
colds, NORWOOD for bruises and
sprains and SO on. They were sue
cessful remedies, too. 1t was from a
combination OF such roots and herbs
that Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham Of Lynn,
Mass, more than forty years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound; and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been
discovered to restore health to ailing
women so successfully as this good
old-fashioned root and herb medicine.
