A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Say. Thi,
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Castor,
Of this place, writes: II am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any Of US child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose Of Black Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black -Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly has saved US lots OF
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Dcaught when not so well saves
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years In the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys is proof Of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, Indigestion, etc.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
Impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed'
ford's, the original and genuine. 2 70

which perhaps is sinking into the mud
the bolt couldn't be opened with
team of horses it is so rusty-but he
spits on his sleeve and slowly polishes
his bayonet; when this is done he also
is ready to argue with Fritz.
It is not necessary to mention the
colonials (the Canadians, Australians
and New Zealanders), the whole world
knows what they have done for Eng
land.
The Australian and New Zealander
is termed the "Anzac," taking the
name from the first letters of their Of
fetal designation, Australian and New
Zealand army corps.
Tommy divides the German army
into three classes according to their
fighting abilities. They rank as fol-
lows: Prussians, Bavarlans and Sax
Ons.
When up against a Prussian regi-
ment it is case of keep your napper
below the parapet and duck. A bang
bang al the time and war is on. The
Bavarians are little better, but the
Saxons are fairly good sports and are
willing occasionally to behave as gen.
tlemen and take it easy, but you can
not trust any of them overlong.
At one point of the line the trenches
were about thirty-two yards apart.
This sounds horrible, but in fact it was
easy, Eecause neither side could shell
the enemy's front-line trench for fear
shells would drop into their own. This
eliminated artillery fire.
In these trenches when up against
the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy
had hot time of it, but when the Sax
ons "took over" it was picnic; they
would yell across that they were Sax
ons and would not fire. Both sides
would sit on the parapet and carry on
conversation. This generally consist
ed of Tommy telling them how much
he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons
informed Tommy that King George
was q particular friend Of theirs and
hoped that he was doing nicely.
When the Saxons were to be relieved
by Prussians or Bavarians, they would
yell this information across No Mans
Land and Tommy would Immediately
tumble into his trench and keep his
head down.
If an English regiment was to be re-
lieved by the wild Irish, Tommy would
tell the Saxons, and Immediately vol
ley of "Donner und Blitzens" could
be heard and it was Fritz's turn to get
a crick in his back from STOPPING, and
the people in Berlin would close their
windows.
Usually when an Irishman takes over
a trench, just before "stand down" In
the morning, he sticks his rifle over
the top, aimed in the direction Of Ber-
lin, and engages in what is known as
the mad minute" This consists of
firing fifteen shots in a minute. He
is not aiming at anything in particular
just sends. over each shot with
prayer, hoping that one Of his strays
will get some poor unsuspecting Fritz
in the napper hundreds Of yards be-
hind the lines. 1t generally does: that'a

and authority Of butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants.
There are lots Of amusing stories
told of 20. s."
One day one of our majors went into
the servants billet and commenced
"blinding" at them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per-
sonallr knew that straw had been is
sued tor this purpose. He called the
lance-corporal to account. The cor
poral answered, "Blime me, sir, the
straw was issued, but there wasn't
enough left over from the servants
beds; in fact, we had to use some OF
the 'ay to 'elp out, sir"
It is needless to say that the serV'
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless it is not the fault OF
the individual officer, it is just the sur
vival of a quaint old English custom.
You know an Englishman cannot be
changed in day.
But the average English officer is a
good sport. he will sit on a fire step
and listen respectfully to Private
Jones' theory Of the way the war
should be conducted. . This war Is
gradually crumbling the once insur-
mountable wall Of caste.
You would be convinced OF this If
you could see King George 60 among
his men on an inspecting tour under
fire, or pause before a little wooden

Twenty minutes before going over

will tell this story later on.
I said it was a big happy family, and
so it is, but as in all happy families,
there are servants, so in the British
army there are also servants, officers

In the American army the common
name for them is "dog robbers" From
a controversy in the English papers,
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far as I can remember, that
the officers servants in the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
.tionally good and well-trained fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers, when selecting man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation find that
large percentage Of the servants do
20 over the top, but behind the lines
they very seldom engage in digging
parties, fatigues, parades or drills.
This work is as necessary as actually
engaging in an attack, therefore l think
it would be safe to say that the all
round work of the two hundred thou
sand is about equal to fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du-
ties. In numerous instances, officers
servants hold the rank Of lance-corpo-
rails and they assume the same duties

the reason the Boches hate the man
from Erin's isle.
The Saxons, though better than the
Prussians and Bavarians, have a nasty
trait of treachery in their makeup.
At one point Of the line where the
trenches we're very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
it was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would
place tins Of bully beef, fags, sweets,
and other delicacies that he had re-
ceived from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would 60 out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted OF q
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars, and occasionally little beer,
but q funny thing, Tommy never re-
turned with the beer unless It was In

Tommy lost his job.
One night young English sergeant

ed W. NJ Milo of Montpelier in State
Championship Tournament-L. A.

the Running.

Another step in the matter of deciding
the state checker championship was TAX
en- yesterday, when David Stephen of
Barre defeated w NJ Milo of Montpe-
lier. A peculiar situation now arises as
to the designation of the state trophy.
and before the award is finally made
the state governing board must decide
whether two games won by Mr.. Stephen
from a player whose early retirement
from the tourney prevented L. A. Egle-
ston of Rutland from playing him will
be thrown out. Just now Mr.. Stephen,
with 65 points, is in the lead, and Mr..
Egeston. with SIS, is the runner-up. The
latter, when he left Barre, had match
to play with w c. Hoag Of Burlington
and the result of the encounter has not
been learned.
Should the governing board disallow
four points won by Mr. Stephen and
clean victory for Mr.. Egleston over Dir,
Hoag should result from their meeting.
the two contenders would exchange
places. In the event of win and a draw
for Mr.. Egleston under the same condi-
tions, the Barre and Rutland men would
be tied The decision, which rests wholly
with the governing board, will be known
within a few days.

When Water Front on Kitchen Range
Blew Out.

White River Junction, Jan. IA froz.
en- hot water front in the kitchen range
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A.
Carr on Maple street was the cause of a
serious accident yesterday morning. Mr.
Carr built a hot fire in the range early
in the morning not knowing that the
water heating equopment was frozen.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Carr were at
breakfast with the table drawn directly
in front of the stove the hot water
front blew up, the flying debris tearing
the flesh on one of Mrs Cars arms from
the shoulder to the elbow Many small
pieces of iron were embedded in the flesh
Of her arm and side. The force of the
explosion completely demolished the
stove besides tearing "a large hole
through the kitchen wall.
Mrs. Carr was taken TO the Mary
Hitchcock hospital at Hanover, n. H..
where it was thought that her arm
could be saved, but there is grave dan
ger from infection from the small bits
OF iron and steel. The muscles and
flesh were torn completely away from
the bone.
Mr.. Carr, who is the local manager for
the New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company, was uninjured, except
for a bruised knee. Immediate help pre-
vented fire from the hot Goals which
were thrown about the room.
