spent with the marines.
In fact, he is marine. His
election was unanimous, and In a
way peculiar to the troops who are
always ready for trouble when
trouble comes. Waking from a
needed nap one afternoon he
couldn't find his coat and cap. A
prank, he thought, and he walked
out to get the air. When he re-
turned his coat and cap were wait
ing for him.
On the cap had been sewn the
marine insignia. The army buttons
on his coat had become marine but
tons. At mess that night the major
noticed the changes and said:

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE

1t isn't age, it's careless living that
puts men down and out" Keep
your internal organs in good condf-
ton and you will always be physt-
cally fit. Watch the kidneys.
The kidneys are the most over
worked organs in the human body.
When they break down under the
strain and the deadly uric acid accu-
mulates and crystalizes. look out!
These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing
pain and set up trrtta-
sors which may cause premature de-
generation and often do turn into
deadly Bright's Disease.
One of the first warnings Of slug
gish kidney action is pain or stiff
ness in the small of the back, high
colored or scanty urine, loss Of Ape
tite, indigestion or rheumatism.
Do not wait until the danger is
upon you. At the first Indication of
trouble go after the cause at once.
Go to your druggist Immediately. Get

Shouting to another marine, the

the direction in which the courier

were dropping all about. Down on
their stomachs went the Doc and
the marine. Pushing the stretcher
ahead, they wriggled and crawled
through the stubble to the trench.
They found the colonel with the
doctor and the cclonel's orderly.
The colonel was weak from loss Of,
blood. The doctor said that they
must get him out as soon as pos
sible. But the shells were coming
too fast and the snipers' bullets
we're whistling too ominously for
an immediate getaway.
Shrapnel. also, was falling in the ,
trench. The orderly put himself
between his colonel and the enemy
fire.
DOC HANGS ON eRAvELY
And 10 they waited, and waited. !,
one hour. two hours. The doctor
looked at his watch-1t was after
eight o'clock !.
"Guess we'd better make tho
break" he said.
They got the colonel on the.
stretcher and started. Half way
across the field the Docs leg went
back on him and he had to let go
his hold on the stretcher. But he
took hold again in a minute or two
and hung on until the colonel was
comfortable in q bed In the sick
bay.
After that the Doc wasn't exact
ly sure what happened. He thought
he was going to stay with the
marines. but when he got out of
the cannon in which he had been
invited to ride by his major he
was in front of hotel in Paris.
II didn't want to come back" he
told an interviewer. II wanted to
stay with my battalion. But they
told me it's rather badly shot up
and they guessed I'd better wait
while until It's reformed and
ready for action again"
He fumb1ed in his pocket and
drew out a shrapnel bullet, slight
ly flattened on one side.
"That struck between the colonel
and his orderly while we were in
the trench" he said. ut hit a
stone, bounded and fell short dis
lance away. I picked It up, and
whenever I show It think Of the
orderly brave, manly fellow
who was killed by piece Of shell
which struck him in the side and
exploded tho cartridges he was
carrying"
He wouldn't admit It. but there
Is no doubt that he will think also.
Of how he proved himself q full
nedged marine. And he knows that
he will never be allowed to lose his
r,eL,ame. Doc.

Let a marine tell the rest OF It:
Fifteen or twenty minutes after
Fritz sent in his calling card saw
the Doc wandering toward the Ger
man lines. l says to myself:

I yells at him, and he says he's
going to headquarters.

steering straight for the Boches.'
with that the Doc kinder
grinned and said he guessed he
didn't want to be nipped yet
awhile. He gets turned around
o. K. and starts right. I notices
he limps a bit, but I figure his
shoes hurt him, or something"
Up the street, limping, went the
Doc. He didn't know it then, but
the shock Of the exploding she'll
had numbed his left leg and
touched some of the nerves, SO that
for several weeks his leg would
suddenly and painfully give out
under him.

~ ARTS, July 26.-The marines
Of one of the flrst-line regi.
ments call him Doc. AS they
went against the enemy in the
glorious fighting in the first few
days of Summer he went with
them. And when more than one
wounded marine woke up IN hospi-
tai he asked straightway:
"How's Doc? Did he come
through all right?"
That's how they feel about the
Doc. What's more, they are very
proud of him. For when the fight
was hottest he helped drag a
stretcher across a shell-swept field
to bring back their colonel, who
was lying in an exposed trench, his
shoulder shattered by machine gun
fire.
He -did it, too. while his left leg
was numb from shell shock and
he could hardly look at his left
hand for the pain that was In it.
But wouldn't any of the marines
have done a similar act for him?
That's how he feels about It.

the expenses of printing The Ey-

not been taken in by quite large

enough to support a paper like

business men are most liberal in

will be the best paper we can pos
