MORE FLIERS IN EVIDENCE
German Airmen Are Increasing Along
American Front.

With the American Army in France,
May 21.-More German squadrons
have made their appearance opposite
the American sector, but to the Ameri-
cans the increased number simply
means that many more chances of
adding notches to their machine guns.
But while the enemy has increased
the number of his fliers, his airmen
in turn have increased their caution.
Only seldom does Boche venture

he does he usually takes advantage

CHAPTER XVII.

Out In Front.
After tea Lieutenant Stores of our
section came into the dugout and in
formed me that was ''for" reconnoi-
tering patrol and would carry six Mills
bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men, our
lieutenant and myself went out in
front on patrol in No Mans Land.
We cruised around in the dark for
about two hours, just knocking about
looking for trouble, on the lookout for
Boche working parties to see what
they were doing.
Around two in the morning we were
carefully picking our way about thirty
yards in front of the German barbed
wire, when we walked into Boche
covering party nearly thirty strong.
Then the music started, the fiddler rem
dered his bill, and we paid.
Fighting in the dark with bayonet
is not very pleasant. The Germans
took it on the run, but our officer was
no novice at the game and didn't fol-
low them. He gave the order "down
on the ground, hug it Close"
Just in time, too. because volley
SKINNED over our heads. Then in low
tones we were told to separate and
crawl back to our trenches, each man
on his own.
We could see the flashes of their
rifles in the darkness. but the bullets
were going over our heals.
We lost three men killed and one
wounded in the arm. If it hadn't been
for our officers quick thinking the
whole patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes wait we
went out again and discovered that
the Germans haG wiring party work
Ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
Information and our machine guns i'm
mediately got busy. e.
The next night four men were sent
out to go over and examine the Ger

For Colds and Grippe
Doctors Find Remedy

Physicians and druggists are elat
ed over the fact that they have at
last found genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, influ-
enza and la grippe. For years they
have depended chiefly upon the old
style calomel, which is certainly fine,
but unfortunately many people would
not take il because of its. nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected nausealess cal
omel, called "Calotabs" whose med
icinal virtues are vastly improved,
the doctors and druggists are claim
ing that Calotabs are the ideal rem
edy to abort cold over night and
cut short an attack of sore throat
or la grippe They are also finding
it most effective as the first step in
the treatment Of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,-that' 5
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanished
and your whole system is purified
and refreshed. Calotabs are sold
only in the original sealed packages

gist recommends and guarantees them
by refunding the price if you are not
