from his rifle was missing, but he
clutched the barrel in both hands and
was swinging the butt around his head.
I could almost hear the swish Of the
butt passing through the air. Three
little Tommies were engaged with him.
They looked like pigmies alongside Of
the Prussian. The Tommy on the left
was gradually circling to the rear Of
his opponent. It was funny sight to
see them duck the swinging butt and
try to jab him at the same time. The
Tommy nearest me received the butt
of the Germans rifle in smashing
blow below the right temple. It
smashed his head like an eggshell. He
pitched forward on his side and con-
vulsive shudder ran through his body.
Meanwhile the other Tommy had
gained the rear of the Prussian. Sud-
denly about four inches of bayonet
protruded from the throat Of the Prus-
sian soldier, who staggered forward
and fell. I will never forget the look
of blank astonishment that came over
his face.
Then something hit me in the left
shoulder and my left side went numb.
It felt as if a hot poker was being
driven through me. I felt no pain
just q sort of nervous shock. A bay
onet had pierced me from the rear. I
fell backward on the ground, but was
not unconscious, because I could see
dim objects moving around me. Then
a flash of light in front Of my eyes and
unconsciousness. Something had hit
me on the head. ! have never found
out what it was.
I dreamed was being tossed about
in an open boat on heaving sea and
opened my eyes. The moon was shin
ing. was on stretcher being car
ried down one of our communication
trenches. At the advanced first-aid
post my wounds were dressed, and
then I was put into an ambulance and
sent to one Of the base hospitals. The
wounds in my shoulder and head were
not serious and in six weeks I had re-
joined my company for service in the
front line.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiDs, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: Il am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
it was one of our family medicines
Also in my mothers home, when I
was child. When any Of US child
ren 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 dose OF Black
D-aught when not so well sayes
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-D Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat.
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
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 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

in rest billets. The next day our cap
tain asked for volunteers for bombers'
school. I gave my name and was ac-
cepted. I had joined the Suicide club,
and my troubles commenced. Thirty
two men of the battalion, including my
self. were sent to l.. where we
went through q course in bombing.
Here we were instructed in the uses,
methods of throwing and manufacture
of various kinds of hand grenades,
from the old "jam tin," now obsolete,
to the present Mills bomb, the standard
of the British army.
It all. depends where you are as to
what you are called. In France they
call you "bomber" and give you med
ais, while in neutral countries they
call you an anarchist and give you
'life."
From the very start the Germans
were well equipped with effective
bombs and trained bomb throwers, but
the English army was as little pre-
pared in this important department Of
fighting as in many others. At bomb
ing school an old sergeant Of the Gren-
adler guards, whom I had the good
fortune to meet, told me Of the discour-
agements this branch of the service
suffered before they could meet the
Germans on an equal footing. (Paci-
fists and small army people In the
q. S. please read with care.) The first
English expeditionary forces had no
bombs at all, but had clicked lot Of
casualties from those thrown by the
Boches. One bright morning someone
higher up had an idea and issued an
order detailing two men from each
platoon to 60 to bombing school to
learn the duties Of a bomber and how
to manufacture bombs. Noncommis-
stoned officers were generally selected
for this course. After about two
weeks at school they returned to their
units in rest billets or in the fire
trench, as the case might be, and got
busy teaching their platoons how to
make "jam tins"
Previously an order had been issued
for all ranks to save empty jam tins
for the manufacture Of bombs. A pro-
fessor Of bombing would sit on the
fire step in the front trench with the
remainder of his section crowding
around to see him work.
-On his left would be pile of empty
and rusty jam tins, while beside him
on the fire step would be q miscella-
