Stoppinq the Huns at Dixmude.

Stopping the Huns at Dixmude.
I was standing In communication
trench that connected one of our 'front.'
line trenches with crater caused by
the explosion of q mine. All around |
me men of the third line were coming |
up, climbing around, digging, hammer
ing, shifting planks, moving sandDags
up and down, bringing up new timbers,
reels of barbed wire, ladders, cases OF
ammunition, machine guns, trench
mortars-all the things that make an
army look like general store on legs
The noise of the guns was just deaf
ening. Our own shells passed not far
above our heads, so close were the
enemy trenches, and the explosions
were so near and so violent that when
YOU rested your rifle butt on something
solid. like a rock, you could feel 1t
shake and hum every time she'll
landed.
! Our first line was just on the out
skirts of the town, in trenches that
had been won and lost by both sides
many times. Our second line was IN
the streets and the third line was
almost at the south end Of the town.
The Huns were hard1at it, shelling
the battered remains of Dixmude, and
To the right stretcher bearers were
working in lines SO close that they
looked like two parades passing eacf
other. But the bearers from the com
nany near me had not returned from
the emergency dressing station ant
the wounded were piling up, waltln'
for them.
A company of the 2me Legion Etran
gere had just come up to take thel
stations in the crater, under the para
net of sandbags. A shell landed anon
them just before they entered the GRE
ter and sent almost whole squa
west, besides wounding several Others
Almost before they occupied tn
crater the wires were laid and reache

to remain where we were until furthe

the men worked under the foremen as
free men work. Instead of putting the
men ''On the chain" Immediately after
the evening meal, in this camp they
were permitted to remain outside the
building, reading, smoking, playing
quoits or baseball until dark, or In the
messroom to enjoy phonograph which
was provided for them. Saturday after
moons. during the summer, were hol1-
days, and the time was devoted to
baseball and other games.
Minor infractions of the rules, dis
obedience and unsatisfactory work
were punished by demeriting the Of
fender. When the number Of such de-
merits exceeded the established limit
the convict was returned to the county
headquarters camp to be placed again
under the more rigid discipline of one
of the other camps. Attempted es-
cape would have been punished in a
similar manner, but it was unnecessary
to administer any punishment for this
cause during the ten months the camp
t was under observation.
The full measure Of the success, of
the system Of discipline Is realized
when it is understood that no attempt
was made to hold the men by rewards
of money or allowances of "good time
greater than those granted to othe1
county convicts. The only measure OF
this kind was the granting of the Gus
tomary ration of tobacco. This wa
used at the rate of about One-quarte
pound per convict per week.
The morale of the force was excel
/ lent. With few exceptions the me-
J. were content with the treatment the
/ received, and freely expressed thei
. appreciation of it, not only in words
| brt in a willingness to work and
I prompt response to orders, such as
observed seldom in convict camps.

. ne secret Of woman S beaN.y
s m Her Hair

Every woman feels happy when she
IS told: "Your hair is beautiful.
But, ike all beautiful things, q wo-
mans hair must be given a great deal
Of care and attention. If not, the beauty
disappears.
The only way to keep the hair beauti-
ful is to wash il frequently. The ordin-
airy shampoo preparation, however, kills
the hair, making it coarse, dry and
stringy. Excessive oiliness then sets il,
followed by more dandruf.
But now at last!-Heand's Fluff, a
shampoo which actually ,son,isAes the
hair because it is made Of pure vegetable
oils.
The ideal Shampoo should cleanse
without drying. The pure vegetable
oils in Heand's Fluff feed the hair
Glands during the shampoo, and prevent
the excessive dTyness which always
follows the use OF the ordinary shampoo.
The use of Heand's Fluff two or three
times a month will cause the coarsest
hair to become lustrous and wavy. And
it makes the finest hair still more beau
tiful. You will see the beautifying
results and feel the inyigorating effects
Of Heand's Fluff even after the first
shampoo.
Heand's Fluff cleanses the scalp, re-
moves any dandruff, and keeps the hair
soft, fluffy and silky.
Buy a cake of Heand's Fluff at your
druggists today. Remember the name
-Heand's Fluff. Don't accept any
other.
